Right now we are in this extremely unique historic situation where the economic disposition is becoming so brutal, more brutal than ever before, where something that no society has ever accepted which was the violation of the very right to live is being treated as normal. Even in slave society you had to keep the slave alive. We are now in global economic paradigm where there are no slaves, so you don't have to keep them alive. And because the right to life is being robbed from large numbers of people in such brutal ways, a women's movement that is indifferent to that assault to the right to life and the right to survival of millions of people is part of the problem, it's not part of the solution. Development is very much like globalization, it's a word that is both constructed and has some kind of a natural connotation.
Development comes from that domain of biological evolution.
It has been applied to an economic domain of engineered, imposed paradigms of what's society priorities should be. And exactly like globalization is made to look natural, development is made to look natural, and it's made to look like Third World societies were somehow stunted societies because they hadn't reached their full development. Development was then defined as the designs of Washington. The Washington mind set is not an evolutionary mind set regarding the future of multiple societies. It's an agenda of contemporary money lenders.
