BRICS Summit: China, Africa, Russia and the 23 New Applicants

As world leaders from the Global South convene in South Africa for the BRICS Summit this week, the West is watching closely. 23 countries have applied to join Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in the grouping, which is focused on trade and development in their regions - typically dominated by colonizing powers in Europe and the United States. Where is BRICS headed and what unifies the grouping?
Brian Becker is joined by Mikaela Nhondo Erskog, member of secretariat of Pan Africanism Today, researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, member of No Cold War, and host of the podcast The Crane: An Africa-China podcast coming from the DongSheng News collective.

[@patbyrneme007]

Why are you guys being so sceptical about the anti imperialist nature of the BRICS? If you look at the basic principles that the BRICS supports: genuine sovereignty, equality and respect between nations, co-operation, shared prosperity. And the aims of the BRICS for development, financial institutions free of the West, for moving developing countries up the value chain; surely all this is the opposite of imperialism and imperialist practice.

[@presterjohn1697]

You might wanna check the record on that. BRICS is a largely neoliberal body. China has encouraged BRICS nations to set up free-trade zones throughout their territories. I wonder who benefits most under free trade zones and who loses? Let that sit.

[@patbyrneme007]

The core of neoliberalism is private enterprise. China and BRICS is based on public-sector led investment in infrastructure, development etc. Which is the opposite of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism is based on competition and inequality while the BRICS and BRI is looking to build through cooperation and shared prosperity. Perhaps you think that the BRICS will not succeed in achieving it's goals. But you can't accuse it of being based on neoliberalism.

This is not groundless. India itself is opposed to expansion. He is afraid that Islamic countries will join in and dilute India’s authority in the BRICS.

The original founding country has Privilege, latecomers can only become followers, but unfortunately other member states do not agree with this hierarchical concept, and everyone pays attention to equality.

The US empire has uncannily done everything possible to motivate the global south to seek alternatives. Most notably: 1. Overly domineering and heavy handed when dealing with the developing countries. No respect whatsoever. 2. The selfish and irresponsible approach in addressing its domestic financial and monetary challenges that causes devastating economic difficulties onto the developing countries. 3. The aggressive policies in preserving its hegemonic power and doggedly persecuting Russia and China. 4. The weaponization of the US dollar, trigger-happy sanctioning, illegal seizure of other countries’ US reserves, treasury bill assets and weaponization of SWIFT. Global south countries would be idiots if they don’t fight back and seek alternatives. The empire is now desperate, resorting to extreme measures to entice countries to stay in the dominion of the empire. The recent desperate attempt to twist the Saudis’ arm is a good example: promising absolute security guarantees, luring the Saudis with a nuclear program, etc. I’m afraid it’ll will do nothing but exposing how desperate the empire is. If BRICS’ expansion is successful, particularly if Saudi, UAE, Egypt, Iran and Indonesia, any or some of them are added, it would be the tipping point for the fall of the empire, albeit slowly. Let’s hope BRICS can pull it together.
