7,000 sq. miles, roughly the size of New Jersey. If you look at the outline of the fires, it seems to follow a plan to reduce most of the rain forest to a small area in the North of Brazil and Peru, the East of Ecuador, and the South of Colombia. This plan should receive the label of ecocide, or a fascist holocaust for the environment. The fascist idea that Brazilians and others need “elbow space” and must commit atrocities across the continent must meet fierce resistance that chases it all the way back to its root cause, the capitalist, imperialist economic system.
