In front of us, it is revealed the full essence of capitalism today, whose functioning unleashes a universe of brutalities committed in the name of transnationalized profit from the conjunction of international and national interests, from the intertwining of financial, extractive, rural, industrial, and banking capital, and from the complementarity between legal and illegal crimes, now supported by the heavy action of organized crime militias in the extraction of gold for the parallel market.
