“Capitalism has only hurt Latin America.” — Evo Morales Quote

“Capitalism has only hurt Latin America.”

“Bolivia's majority Indian population was always excluded, politically oppressed and culturally alienated. Our national wealth, our raw materials, was plundered.

“The way I see it, it's impossible to change things without encountering resistance.”

“There is no way in which the Democratic Party constitutes a threat to capitalism. At most, the party's program of regulation, redistribution and higher taxes may shrink, ever so slightly, the profit rate for some of the nation's wealthiest shareholders.”

“One-planet living means not only seeking to reduce our own consumption, but also mobilising against the system that promotes the great tide of junk. This means fighting corporate power, changing political outcomes and challenging the growth-based, world-consuming system we call capitalism.”
