Yes. This is beyond grotesque. Klein references a Bolivian initiative under the Morales gov't - as a lure to promote the GND - without a single acknowledgment to the coup itself.

What Klein does not reference is far more compelling: the 2010 People's Agreement of Cochabamba.

The Cochabamba People's Agreement (April 2010) came out of the Bolivian World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth conference. It was Indigenous-led, with people attending from around the world. #Bolivia

#Whiteness and racism played a key role at this conference.

350's (Klein serves on the board) sole purpose for attending the conference in Bolivia was to literally undermine the host country’s official policy position on climate change (300 ppm, 1ºC limit, etc.)

It is Klein & her ilk that did not listen. If the "movement" had of mobilized behind that agreement in 2010, perhaps things would be far different today. Instead - they buried it. We now witness a global lobby for green tech under the guise of environmentalism. It is surreal.

This segment [The Continued DeKlein of the Postmodern Imperial-Liberal Left] explains what transpired following the conference. The NGOs & "leaders" at the helm of the so-called movement effectively marginalized the Agreement. A slow, deliberate death.

The People's Agreement is anti-capitalist at its core. The GND is the polar opposite - it is the very instrument to SAVE capitalism. To save global economic growth now in freefall.

But did you really believe Klein wants to dismantle capitalism?

People's Agreement, Cochabamba, #Bolivia, 2010:

"We confront the terminal crisis of a civilizing model that is patriarchal and based on the submission and destruction of human beings and nature that accelerated since the industrial revolution."

"The capitalist system has imposed on us a logic of competition, progress and limitless growth. This regime of production and consumption seeks profit without limits, separating human beings from nature and imposing a logic of domination upon nature, ..."

"... transforming everything into commodities: water, earth, the human genome, ancestral cultures, biodiversity, justice, ethics, the rights of peoples, and life itself."

"Under capitalism, Mother Earth is converted into a source of raw materials, and human beings into consumers and a means of production, into people that are seen as valuable only for what they own, and not for what they are."

"Capitalism requires a powerful military industry for its processes of accumulation and imposition of control over territories and natural resources, suppressing the resistance of the peoples. It is an imperialist system of colonization of the planet."

"Humanity confronts a great dilemma: to continue on the path of capitalism, depredation, and death, or to choose the path of harmony with nature and respect for life."

Klein's reference to the 2009 "Marshall Plan" that bolsters the language of the GND while omitting The 2010 People's Agreement is worse than a lie. It is an opportunistic literal white-washing/erasure of history.

To rub more salt in the wounds of Bolivia, in her next tweet, Klein highlights/shares the paper authored by Bolivian coup supporters Wordley & Romero.

There is more to be gleaned from this single tweet by Klein.

"The idea was what is now being called a #GreenNewDeal."

Klein implies that the GND is premised/built on Bolivian demands, ideologies, etc.

It isn't.

The Global Green New Deal was released on Sept 25, 2019.

AOC endorses it
As does Klein's 350
As does We Mean Business
As does Jamie Margolin (#ClimateStrike youth rep)

Yet no one speaks of it

Perhaps it is because with this report, in which the word #growth appears 392 times, it will be difficult to convince a populace that this is anything but what it actually is - a desperate attempt to save the global capitalist economic system that is destroying our planet. #GND

The #GND is the instrument to acquire the social license necessary to roll out the 4th Industrial Revolution (WEF) & assign monetary value to all nature (#NewDealForNature led by WEF, WWF, UN & Gore).

Another reminder that UN has partnered with WEF.

The term "rights for Mother Earth" a concept from the Global South, & an array of holistic language & terminology has been utilized by the NPIC, finance, corporations and institutions, to sell the #NewDealForNature, to be adopted in Oct 2020. A #CorporateCoup of the commons.
