8. The contradiction between Western capitalism versus the planet and
human life.
The inexorable path of this system is to destroy the planet and human life,
threaten nuclear annihilation, and work against the needs of humanity to
collectively reclaim the planet’s air, water, and land and stop the nuclear
military madness of the United States. Capitalism rejects planning and
peace. The Global South (including China) can help the world build and
expand a ‘zone of peace’ and commit to living in harmony with nature.
With these changes in the political landscape, we are witnessing the rise of
an informal front against the US-dominated imperialist system. This front
is constituted by the convergence of:
• Popular sentiment that this violent system is the main enemy of the
people of the world.
• Popular desires for a more just, peaceful, and egalitarian world.
• The struggle of socialist or nationalist governments and political forces
for their sovereignty.
• The desires of other Global South countries to reduce their depen-
dence on this system.
The main forces against the US-dominated imperialist system are the peo-
ples of the world and the socialist and nationalist governments. However,
there must be space provided for integrating governments that wish to
reduce their dependency on the imperialist system.
The world currently stands at the beginning of a new era in which we will
witness the end of the US global empire. The neoliberal system is dete-
riorating under the weight of numerous internal contradictions, histori-
cal injustices, and economic unviability. Without a better alternative, the
world will descend into even greater chaos. Our movements have revived
hope that something other than this social torment is possible.
