Payment implies a capitalist world order, which would be impossible if we lived in a world where natural resources are given non-extraction value. So rich countries paying poorer countries for environmental purposes is already a nonsense premise. In a different socialist world, maybe that could work in some way. Regardless of how you want to frame it, deforestation should be opposed in all ways, including state-sponsored violence.

Why would payment imply capitalism? Pay in resources idk, who cares. Europe is rich because of the material wealth from South America, Africa and Asia.

For Brazil to forgo exploiting its material wealth, it has to be compensated.

Or it will forever exist in a subservient and underdeveloped state.

That’s just pure logic, I’m not sure what is wrong with what I said.
