Ecuador on the inevitable path of ecological socialism

Unlike capitalism that has the sole purpose of economic gain and measures everything with numbers and figures that indicate poverty or wealth, income or returns, losses or gains, for the socialism that aims to be human, what you get is measured in health, education, satisfaction, trust, even happiness or popularity, security.
While runaway capitalism or neoliberalism, which considers that the important thing is that investors, whether national or foreign, obtain the greatest possible profits from a country.
For socialism, what interests him most is to create a protective state, which provides security of all kinds to its population, but faces that this system works when the presidential succession does not mean that public offices, public companies, the army , the police, justice, the legislative power, taxes, exports, concessions do not become loot, of every election.
But providing security to its population in many cases means manufacturing predatory humans, insatiable consumers, poor people compared, even if extreme poverty is eliminated,
The poor compared finally are more bad for nature and social coexistence and for socialism, than the extreme poor because the extreme poor are people willing to sacrifice, the effort to get out of poverty, the poor compared or new rich, are people They believe they deserve better just because they already have something good and to get the best they don't have scruples.
Essentially socialism is anti-ecological, because they pretend that the human being is the lord and owner of a country, and this human horde wants for itself what other species have, of that land, that sea, that sky called country.
This is what was experienced in Cuba in which, in order to finance socialism, it was necessary to export sugar to the Soviet Union, and turned the fields of the island into cane fields and other forms of wildlife were exterminated, finally a healthy and well educated population was obtained. , who lives on an almost desert island when viewed from the air and with a curious collective frustration.
This has been experienced by China, which now tries to rescue natural areas and water sources that, to be used by the population, like air, manufactured polluted air, created sterile rivers, in the country it is susceptible to suffer a lot from natural disasters , plagues, and armed conflicts, because it has one thousand four hundred million inhabitants, now more sensitive to the lack of water, electricity, transport, communications, health, education, social stability, or climatic changes. Any of these factors can determine catastrophes in China,
The shift from Marxist socialism to capitalist socialism, which is what Russia and China live through, and from it to ecological socialism, manifests itself because unlike the United States, where private initiative is one that seeks profit with inventions, products, procedures, knowledge, friendly to the environment, in these former communist countries, the state assumes, as in many of Europe, the protection of nature,
The state obliges companies, inhabitants, goods, services to be eco-responsible, to respond for pollution, for the extinction of species, for excessive consumption, starting with water, electricity, luxuries , vanities, to curb opulence, etc.
The moment in which it is the State, which has the exclusive use of force within a country, uses it to force human beings and nature to curb environmental deterioration, then we enter ecological socialism,
The same nature can be an agent of environmental deterioration, for example with fires due to thunderstorms, due to floods due to the El Niño phenomenon, or due to the chain reaction caused by the loss of glaciers, or the disappearance of species.
So, if the state intervenes, such as with a reforestation plan, controlled fishing, protected areas, combustion cooker reduction, or polluting cars, we enter what is called ecological socialism.
In ecological socialism economic gains are not sought, because when economic gains prevail whatever the form of government, it is called capitalism, and if an invention, a business, etc., obtains profits protecting nature, such as ecotourism in private places, it is called ecological capitalism.
If a government or a state benefits its population and nature with laws, economic measures, sanctions, education, and finally what it achieves is an ecologically sensitive population called Ecological Socialism.
Poor countries are obliged to develop ecological socialism, because they do not have the knowledge, industrial capacity, creativity, business system and profit from organic products, which is what companies in developed countries have.
The less developed countries are obliged to curb the greed of national and foreign companies, and of countries seeking raw materials, cheap labor, exploitation or manipulation through trade, industry, technology, when this affects the environment .
Stopping this greed means saving their natural resources, their species, their inhabitants, from being exterminated or alienated, to create plantations, fishing or mining companies, or insatiable markets for relatively expensive products.
At the moment in which a country is the one that carries out actions to protect its population and its nature, or natural resources, the country has entered the so-called ecological socialism.
