"Unlimited evolution is what breaks the dam Taking everything that
exists In the force of the current Where Uncle Sam makes his guess There
is no bread left on the table Because no people can resist The death of
nature" . "Since the times of Sepé" by Pedro Ortaça. ---- There is
nothing natural about the tragedy that the people of Rio Grande do Sul
are going through. The emergence of climate change caused by this system
of capitalist domination has long been announced. Insatiable
accumulation, progressive profits, the precariousness of social rights,
the ideological expansion of neoliberalism with its maximum
individualization are the factors responsible for these deaths, losses
and disasters that we see in Rio Grande do Sul.
The Mayor of Porto Alegre Sebastião Melo (MDB), in power for 12 years,
either as vice-mayor or holder of the position, and Governor Eduardo
Leite, in office for 6 years, are two exponents of this policy that
subjects us to chaos, at the behest of businessmen and landowners who
speculate in the city and destroy in the fields. Lula, in his third
term, also decided on a similar path, with the valorization of
agribusiness and the maintenance of a spending ceiling. No wonder, the
three government officials are already talking about the need for
extensive privatization to "reconstruct" Rio Grande do Sul.
The environmental catastrophe we are experiencing in Rio Grande do Sul
today, the largest ever documented in the state, is therefore a social,
political and economic phenomenon. It is social because it mainly
affects those at the bottom, indigenous and quilombola communities,
peasants and the poor people of the countryside and the city. Meanwhile,
those above continue to enjoy the comfort of their glass fortresses. The
landowners, soy and cattle colonels, who inherit their assets from the
slave system, are safe with their diesel-powered pickup trucks. The
catastrophe is also a political and economic phenomenon, as it is thanks
to the international capitalist system, combined with the economic
interests of national states (especially from the global north), that
predatory extractivism and agribusiness sink their claws into
territories to suck out every last penny. that they can pull out of the
ground. That's why we scream THAT THE RICH PAY FOR THE CLIMATE CRISIS,
since they own the companies that invade and exploit the land, devastate
forests and pollute the waters. May the rich pay for the destruction
driven to maintain their parasitism, their whims, the concentration of
power, goods and capital in their hands. May we tear them away from
their comfort in the face of the end of the world that they have imposed
on us!
10 social, political and economic causes of the environmental and
climate collapse that devastates RS
1. Privatization of basic infrastructure (sanitation)
2. Settlement of environmental protection over rivers, forests and soil
3. Intensive exploration of agribusiness, mining companies and real
estate speculation
4. Dismantle strategic social and ecological research and planning on
common goods and the environment
5. Cutting public spending to meet popular demands and scrapping the
public service
6. Capture of public policy and budget by financial groups that loan the
state debt
7. Poverty and precariousness in communities on the urban periphery,
housing, community infrastructure and work
8. War of extermination against indigenous, quilombola and peasant ways
of life and cultures
9. Violent increase in private wealth and the power of the rich classes
over the world
10. The neoliberal adjustment of society: the supreme rule of the
market, the company, "every man for himself"
As important as denouncing these attacks from above and their
responsibilities with the crisis that is affecting us, is thinking about
how we are acting and where we are going to go in this situation, since
it is only the population, volunteers, and climate refugees, who are
helping each other in the midst of the climate crisis, with
self-organization initiatives, whether in shelters, rescues or in
collecting and producing food, and it will only be them, as organized
oppressed classes, not governments or large corporations, who they will
be able to rebuild their cities and communities, from an anti-capitalist
perspective and an ecology that is socialist and libertarian.
10 Popular Claims About the Climate Crisis
1 Strengthen solidarity and mutual support networks in neighborhoods,
unions, schools and universities
2. Spread ideas of struggle for housing occupations as a way of
sheltering climate refugees and solidarity distribution of food from
warehouses and supermarkets
3. Economic reparations: emergency aid grant, social rent, tax exemption
on household appliances and construction materials, debt amnesty for
climate refugees
4. Decent and free legal assistance
5. That Eduardo Leite's attacks on Rio Grande do Sul's environmental
code in 2019 be reviewed
6. DEMARCATION NOW! For the guarantee of the original territories that
were devastated and those that are still exploited by agribusiness owners
7. Popular management of essential service companies, such as sanitation
and electricity. Enough of privatizations and scrapping by the State!
8. Investment in public and social policies, ensuring equal rights,
access to services and a dignified life
9. Return of research institutes that were extinguished or scrapped to
favor the interests of those above
10. In defense of rivers and forests! Enough of unbridled extractivism!
