"He also discovered that the large conservation organizations were partnering with corporations that wanted to build oil wells or gas pipelines or mine for minerals on these lands. Originally conservationists were opposed to drilling and mining, but, Dowie says, the lines between the conservation giants and the corporate giants are being blurred: “International conservation organizations remain comfortable working in close quarters with some of the most aggressive global resource prospectors.”

Reformism, Indigenous Activism, the Global Crisis, and System Change

"The less any of us focus on INM and any other reformist voice and the more we focus on building a real movement of THE PEOPLE the better. Today, like no other time in the history of the human family, is it critical for THE PEOPLE to gather within local areas, form strategies and alliances, disconnect from reformist voices, and ensure that the local voices empower local system change."

Subverting Solidarity

Solidarity as a strategy — exemplified by the 1994 Zapatista/Civil Society alliance against NAFTA — made clear the power of unifying the indigenous peoples movement, the human rights movement, and the environmental movement.

"People who succumb to the illusions of revolutionary romanticism or who side with the apparent underdog, regardless of the underdog’s agenda, are being taken in by the tactics of present-day imperialism. But those who aspire to a more peaceful and more just world order, and who think that a precondition of this order is the weakening of U.S. imperialism, easily see through this camouflage.
