The IMF still controls the global south's access to money. They are still driving global direction of debt discussions. They still require endebted countries to cut social spending and open up to privatization. Even BRICs money, like from China, as you state, is beholden to IMF approval.

No, that isn't anti-zionism. Calling for the end of an ethnostate does not require the expulsion, relocation, or death of folks who are currently citizens of that state.

The IMF is a mafia. Forcing countries into debt is a policy choice, not an ethical choice.

 

Despite bodies of evidence, Missouri moves forward with adding lanes to interstate 70 highway without any public transit infrastructure additions. We know the outcome already.
