36 A call to rebuild BRICS, bottom-up, at Durban summit oppose neoliberalism, subimperialism and eco-destruction, March 2013 Durban s hosting of the Brazil-Russia-India-China-SA summit in March requires critical civil society to share views ranging from local to global. We support bottom-up unity of peoples in these countries and their hinterlands, collaborating on analysis, advocacy and activism. We will meet in the spirit of the World Social Forum which arose to contest the ecologically, socially and politically destructive World Economic Forum. Join us to draw the world s attention to the most dangerous BRICS state policies, to corporate and parastatal power plays, and to these countries extreme uneven development.
37 1) socio-economic attacks on the majority, including severe inequality, poverty, disease, unemployment, violence (especially against women), inadequate education, prohibitions on labour organising and other suffering; 2) political and civil rights violations, such as increased securitisation of societies, militarisation and arms trading, prohibitions on protest, rising media repression and official secrecy, debilitating patriarchy and homophobia, activist jailings and torture, and even massacres, including in Durban where a police hit squad has killed more than 50;
38 3) regional domination by BRICS economies, since signs of subimperialism are emerging both through corporate exploitation of hinterland minerals and oil, and through BRICS promotion of Washington Consensus neoliberalism for example, in the recent donation of $100 billion of our taxes to the International Monetary Fund, or in the desire of China, Brazil and India to revitalise the World Trade Organisation, or in India s failure to continue supplying generic medicines (especially the AIDS drugs so important to us in Durban, with more HIV+ people than any other city on earth);
39 4) our elites orientation to eco-destructive, consumerist-centric, financialised, climate-frying, nuclear-powered maldevelopment works very well for corporate and parastatal profits, but is reaching crisis proportions in all the BRICS, as witnessed here by the Marikana Massacre carried out by police on behalf of Lonmin on August 16, and in South Durban where $30 billion in white-elephant state infrastructure subsidies for chaotic port, freight and petrochemical industry expansion (and more labourbroking exploitation) are now being vigorously fought by communities that will be destroyed.
40 It is time the BRICS go under the microscope, along with their so-called development bank (with its disturbing Brazilian, Chinese and South African precedents) and the currency cooperation and trade deals anticipated from this summit. It is time for popular voices to be heard, demanding the BRICS concept be rebuilt bottom up, to serve people and planet, not corporate profits, and to include our continents oppressed peoples and countries at the fore, instead of as hinterland appendages to the BRICS regional bullies. Join us in Durban in March 2013 to tell BRICS sub-imperialism, no thanks! Initial organisations making this call : Alternative Information and Development Centre, Centre for Civil Society (University of KwaZulu-Natal), groundwork Friends of the Earth SA, People s Dialogue, South Durban Community Environmental Alliance, Trust for Community Outreach and Education.
