I’m sorry BBC but 1 or 2 cases of corporations helping in military coups?
Haven’t the countless declassified documents by the clinton administration
as well as wikileaks taught us anything about how far from reality that
kind of rhetoric lies? Either way, even if the coverage focussed
excessively on how corporations like Dole (there’s a quite interesting
documentary called Bananas which proves the BBC otherwise), and how they
allegedly contributed to latin americas economic boom, at least they
briefly mentioned the REAL contributors, mainly the growth of domestic
industries in the respective countries and decrease in dependence in the US
(both in investment AND in multinational corporations). Maybe it would’ve
been better if the documentary focussed more on the types of popular
self-empowerment that the engaging of communities and latin american
populations in their OWN businesses brought to the economy, but,
considering the fact that it is unfortunately not the kind of capitalism
that the West advocate for developing nations (even though they advocate it
for themselves), and that this coverage did have a pre-determined concept
behind it, I understand the BBC perversion from the facts.

Ecuador is Growing also … viva Ecuador
i mean seriously brazilians have a staedy supply of food, are clothed
extremely well have a very efficient system of transportation and live in
beautiful enviorment…yes the houses are poor in quality. In California
homes have good spacious quality and have good views but they also have a
high rate of crime and have terrible education system(high drop out rate),
Innifecient&very expensive transportation system,Police harrasment,Meth
capital,little jobs. yet is the 8th largest economy in world
“No more white people in the power” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you are
hilarious. Latin America is a racist society, you can see how most
presidents, governments, businessmen, bankers, lawyers are white or have
European ancestry, and how most people who are poor are indigenous people,
blacks or mixed race. It’s not ok, but that’s the way it is.
Why Latin America has been stagnant? Simple, weak institutions: weak
Central Banks, corruption, poor judicial system, lack of enforcement of
existing laws, lack of consistent policies and lack of faith in market and
free trade. Fortunately Chile and Brazil have been taking the right path
consistently over a long period of time and there you see the results
Jeeeesus F..king Christ (the church of England Christ, yes yes quit, with a
British accent), I can’t believe the fake naiveté expressed on this video
and this from the BBC. They are English by God, they should know better. If
a large fruit Co. from an enlightened industrialized country gives a Latin
American peasant a fish, he eats for a day, or it can befriend and arm the
local strongman, take away the peasant’s land, and force him into lifelong
serfdom on said Co.’s monoculture cash crop.
But noooo, now said Co. under a new name has to come in and offer the now
small land owner a better price so he can make a decent living. Worst of
all he can now educate his child, how dare he, the insolence! If that is
not enough said Co. has to teach this now small land owner how to grow
bananas who has been growing bananas for generations. Does the burden on
the white man ever end.
WAAAAAS ??? Ich bin also ein Untermensch ? Weil mein Grossvater 1922

Teufel Selbst Holen …
Chile isn’t the best in education. Matter of fact it’s still one of the
worst with education (lower, middle and higher education). In education
Brazil dominates your hispanic country, include in economy include in
investing in South America and other southern hemispheer nations. Brazil
has a long way to go, but it’s doing much better compare to Chile that’s
smaller than the GDP (and level of education) of the State of Sao Paulo.
“Faster than expected” In your face pale cocksuckers
@TheCaptainjuicy … Well, you reap what you grow … I remember all the
killed, burnt & tortured …
i know, chile has the worst education systems because they are similar to
the US’s with hgih ass tuition rates and decent educators. Argentina has a
good education level. the rest of south america is horrible. As i said
Brazil is investing in all of south america like the US is investing in
China but whatever …. the people never see that money anywase..wether its
mexico to brazil or chile… the people are still broke yet still happy and
barely making it.
@drazenkoj1990 > working on it, but right now you had better get advise
from your embassy for tourist locations … Runi
That’s very true the economy is growing in south America in Colombia’s case
what happens was father the war with drug cartels Colombia was left alone ,
letting to recovery , we still having security problems but not as big as
in the past , also agriculture and resources are a big part for our economy
Canada china and Germany had invest on Colombia wish had improve there
economy and ours as you could see now days , we also don’t depend much on
the touristic wish is a benefit on part
@lbrtmtt85 > One point that was not mentioned here, & this is part of the
reports bias, is that Latin America was not invited to take part in the
Wests “Hedge-Fund Feeding Frenzy”.. while USA, UK and other Western
Countries were secretly investing in dodgy hedge funds, Latin America was
still doing banking the old fashioned way.. The good thing is that when the
banks in the rest of the world collapsed, the Latin American investments
remained free of debt & then rising commodity prices helped…
Where’s part 2 of this video?
In Percentage Argentina is doing good, but in reality with rampant of
inflation, your country is becoming a nightmare.
Ignorance is bliss. When you don’t know any better you have no reason to be
disappointed. I speak from self experience. I was born and lived in Brazil
until the age of 16 and had a very happy life but once i stepped out i
realized how lacking Brazil really was. I’m glad the continent as a whole
it progressing but it will be many decades still at this rate until people
can be truly happy.
Hello, Can someone please send me some information about the wholesale
markets in Brazil, the areas they are located in along with the types of
products, please send me a private message thanks

“Well there is an essential difference between immigrating to a state and
colonizing it. An immigrant openly submits and integrates with the rules of
a given state.”
Well I agree there is an essential difference between immigrating to a
state and colonizing it I do not necessarily agree with the last pert of
this statement (it is to black and white). Did the American slave owning
settlers moving into Mexican territory submit and integrate with the rules
of the given state? Certainly not because slavery was banned in Mexico.
Texas slave-owners continuously sought ways to circumvent Mexican law. Many
historical examples prove that immigrants do not openly submit and
integrate with the rules of a given state.
A lot of Latin American immigrants who came to the United States came
because the USA helped put dictators into power in their countries that
brutalized them. They came because they had no where else to go in their
opinion. Nobody wants to leave their homeland, nobody wants to leave family
behind, nobody wants to be a stranger in a strange land. Also immigrants
helped form the rules of this given state and helped build this given
state. This given state was constructed on the backs of immigrant workers
and is irrevocably connected to them. This country wouldn’t be the rich
nation it is if it wasn’t for immigrants.
And what you are is a mental midget who can not think for himself! And
needs another mental midget and con artists like David Duke. To think for
yourself .. As a white person you are an embarrassment.. A loser who did
not get what he wanted in life and now go around blaming others for your
failure in life. Pathetic..
Chomsky on history of U.S. in Latin America
@RPenta @4:27 “The second Nobel Prize Peace Prize Laureate also on Mount
Rushmore is Woodrow Wilson”
lo mismo digo!
Chomsky your one of my heroes 🙂 Chomsky be my grandpa lol
Well there is an essential difference between immigrating to a state and
colonizing it. An immigrant openly submits and integrates with the rules of
a given state. Immigrants do not bring down the sovereignty of a country
and reestablish a new system that reserves and guarantees outsiders’
interest, colonizers on the other hand usually do. It is so clear that it’s
so embarrassing to make a clear confusion about it.
@tstruss912 Look around, take any commercial, the man in it is shown as so
stupid you hope the Men In White come to reclaim him…Or THE biggest
selling movie of all time is AVATAR, where betraying your whole PLANET–not
your nation, your race, or even your species–is an Heroic Act! Wait, I
thought traitors were supposed to “Get It” in a Double Plus Ungood way, by
some random act of environment if the Hero was Too Good to kill him?! Or
shiny/whiny Vampires upstaging badasses like BLADE?
@12107170 I don’t believe much in taking dogmatic sides in either
direction, i prefer to look at things realistically. And i agree with
Chomsky on the point that we should apply the ancient saying “know thyself”
to ourselves not just personally, but on the nation as a whole before we
start praising ourselves too much, or criticizing others.
Seriously when he comes to Ireland a room 5 times the size of that one is
full and there are big screens outside the hall for those who can’t get in.
But then again the anarchist group meetings are small affairs alright.
I don’t really think that the best solution would be to have Whites leave.
I think that the most obvious solution to so-called immigration to the US
is to simply admit that the people coming in are the original inhabitants
of the area and are also Native American to boot. Just except them and stop
losing your mind over indigenous people populating their own land.
