'Planet or death!' Morales tells summit capitalism is biggest enemy of Earth
Bolivian President Evo Morales Ayma condemned the capitalist system in the opening session of the 1st World Conference of the Peoples on Climatic Change on April 20.

Bolivian President Evo Morales Ayma condemned the capitalist system in the opening session of the 1st World Conference of the Peoples on Climatic Change on April 20.

Morales, in his April 20 intervention in the inauguration, stated that capitalism is the main enemy of the Earth, only looking for profits, to the detriment of nature, and that capitalism is a bridge for asymmetries and inequality.

A total of more than 15,000 representatives from the five continents of the world were present at the Esteban Ramirez Ecological Stadium in Tuquipaya when Morales read a letter to the future generations to alert on the danger the planet now has.

2. He's 100% correct. This is why the environment has always been so clean
in socialist and ESPECIALLY in communist countries.
