Naomi Klein, taken to task
“Bolivia calza hoy como piecita pequeña, sirve de dato para confirmar el sabotaje malvado del sistema capitalista contra un indígena presidente. Bolivia sirve para decir frases celebres sobre los pueblos indígenas, o poner en una línea paralela de peligrosísima y delicadísima similitud Palestina, los Balcanes, Afganistán o cualquier otro punto del planeta.
…
Quiero decir que somos actoras y acotres socialise corresponsables y no simples victimas de un proceso neocolonial.”
- Extracto de Carta abierta a Naomi Klein, por Maria Galindo de Mujeres Creando, mayo 2008.
“Bolivia fits today like a little piece of pie, it serves to confirm the evil sabotage of the capitalist system against an indigenous president. Bolivia serves for the saying of celebratory words about indigenous peoples, or to place [oneself] on a parallel line of high danger and great delicacy similar to Palestine, the Balkans, Afghanistan or any other [such] point of the planet.
…
I want to say that we are corresponsible social actors [male and female] and not simple victims of a neocolonial process.”
- Extract from Open letter to Naomi Klein, by Maria Galindo of Mujeres Creando, May 2008.

This is lovely. Thanks for it. I always forgot about the greatness of MC, since I read Spanish at the three-year-old level.

My pleasure. Oh, my translation is bad, though. So consider it very much a gist - I did want to put it out there, though :)
