No offense, Rob Roy, but I'm very familiar with BRICS, their history, their objectives, and more.

I suggest reading "BRICS: An Anti-Capitalist Critique" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25102689) that takes a critical view towards the BRICS that's exhibited in concrete events, as opposed to the BRICS as it exists in the rhetoric leadership that is being used to tap into 'third-worldist' hopes/dreams.

BRICS has pretty much surrendered to neoliberal globalization (remember -> it is a capitalist trading bloc against the Western institutionalized financial and trade systems/arrangements), and not a force for 'social change' or 'left or right' ideologies.

>>"The US and Israel will lose their power."

That is a good start, but I doubt that will be enough or will come even remotely close to demolishing Capitalism. Something else is needed...
