Wow! 🔥 Colombia's first ever left-wing president, Gustavo Petro, shared this powerful statement warning that capitalism is bringing back fascism, and rich Western neocolonial elites treat the peoples of the Global South as "disposable, like the children of Gaza":

"The barbarism of consumption based on the death of others is taking us to an unprecedented rise of fascism, and therefore, to the death of democracy and freedom. It is barbarism, or the Global 1933, as I call it. 1933 was the year Hitler came to power.

"What we see in Palestine will also be the suffering of all of the peoples of the [Global] South.

"The West defends its excessive consumption and its standard of living based on destroying the atmosphere and climate, and to defend it, knowing that it will cause the exodus [of migrants] from the south to the north, and not only of the Palestinian people, it is ready to respond with death.

"It [the West] does not want to transform its economic system - only as far as the market will go to decarbonize it. And it knows that the effort will be minuscule to save life on the planet. Its policy seeks to defend the bubble of consumption of the rich on the planet and not to save humanity, whose majority is disposable to it, like the children of Gaza.

"That is why there are the strong anti-immigration policies, the concentration camps for immigrants, the thousands who died in shipwrecks; that is the reason for the tapón del Darién [the location where many migrants cross from Colombia to Panama]; that is why there are economic blockades of rebel countries.

"The right wing in the West sees the solution to the climate crisis as a 'final solution'; the right once again dreams of Hitler and conquest – the majority of the rich and Aryan peoples of the West and our Latin American oligarchies, who do not see another world to live in other than that of the malls of Florida or Madrid.

"The right-wing forces in the [Global] South use violence; they destroy democracy; they feel, by the North, legitimized to do so. They believe they can kill and commit genocide, they just need the blessing of the world power.

"We are moving into barbarism if we do not change the power. The life of humanity, and especially of the people of the South, depends on the way in which humanity chooses the path to overcome the climate crisis produced by the wealth of the North. Gaza is just the first experiment to deem all of us disposable".
