"What happened in Brazil is another expression of the offensive of imperialism and the oligarchy against the revolutionary and progressive governments of Latin America and the Caribbean which threatens peace and stability of nations..."
"The USAID office is leaving Ecuador, but U.S. intelligence operations for destabilizing the country continue. By all appearances, new attacks in this area will be made in connection with Correa's plans to reduce the size of the armed forces and transfer part of the military personnel to police agencies. Anonymous «army dissidents» are already making hostile statements with regard to Correa and his attempts to «take Chavez' place on the continent». This wording directly indicates what forces are behind the campaign being launched against Correa."

"A useful starting point is the politics of the first TIPNIS march. Among the 16 demands of the protest were calls to support converting Bolivia’s forests into carbon credits (in line with the imperialist-sponsored Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation scheme) and shutting down 90 percent of Bolivia’s gas industry. The consequences of these demands would have been to auction off Bolivia’s forests to capitalist interests while closing off the major resource in Bolivia’s efforts to industrialise. Far from representing an anti-capitalist programme, these demands could only pave the way for transnational capital to reassert its power over Bolivia. Of course, the international campaign against the Morales government made no mention or criticism of these issues."
