00:00 Bolivia's Vice President David Socahuanca said that the logic of Western religious,
00:05 political and environmental doctrines has led to wars, poverty and suffering.
00:09 "For centuries, the key players in geopolitical domination have violated and sabotaged the
00:15 natural flow of all forms of life. The religious, political, economic, judicial, genetic and
00:21 environmentalist doctrines of the West and of modernity are at the root of relations of power,
00:26 domination, wars, suffering and poverty in the world." Bolivia's Vice President David
00:32 Socahuanca went on to say that the countries of the Global North have caused the planetary
00:37 imbalance through colonialism, patriarchy and capitalism.
00:41 "The defective development of the Global North has caused planetary imbalance, has been fuelled
00:48 by the combination of colonialism, patriarchy and capitalism, a formula that has brought
00:53 steady and boundless impoverishment and dependence for the Global South. The multipolar Global North
01:00 grants itself rights that contravene the rights of the South. The rich countries of the Global
01:05 North argue that they have no money but spend fortunes on weapons and on genocide like in
01:11 Ukraine and Palestine. Developing countries freely are granting leeway to the Global North
01:17 in detriment of the Global South."
