Patrick, just posting on Marxmail might make you a "Trotskyist" to

To all comrades on this list -- I urge a close reading of Comrade
Bond's piece and some of the background pieces ---- from my vantage
point coming very late to this discussion, "extractivism" is clearly a
GREAT DANGER --- the goal has to be to LEAVE FOSSIL FUELS IN THE
GROUND and to get there as quickly as possible (yesterday would be best!).
This is what I wrote a comrade who questioned the open letter:
I haven't paid attention to Ecuador at all. I do know that Patrick Bond
is a strict "leave it in the ground" advocate but that does not address
the need for foreign exchange that these poor countries rely on. I saw
this in Nicaragua. The plantations seized from Somoza continued to
produce cotton and sugar that were as destructive ecologically as oil is
in Ecuador but without the foreign exchange Nicaragua could not import
medicine, arms, etc.
