Re: NY Times' article on Ecuador's Constitution Granting Rights to Nature

The new Ecuadorian Constitution, as I have read it, is an authoritarian, centralist and abortionist one:
It concentrates most powers on the executive branch by controlling, in an undemocratic way, inalienable rights such as freedom of speech, right to privacy, and freedom of the press.
It cuts most ties with the private sector, and by the same token, it nationalizes these companies.
It stupidly acknowledges "5 genders", rather than 2 [male and female]. One thing is to acknowledge different sexual orientation -as there actually are-, than to acknowledge 5 different genders -when there are only 2!
It does not defend and guarantee life FROM conception -hence it gives right to abortion.
It trivializes and eventually negates cities' autonomy, where all cities' production goes straight to the government to later be "equally" distributed nationwide.
It has created an impossible and unrealistic economic plan that heroically and, by means of magic, pretends to provide for all the Ecuadorian people, when in actuality economists nationwide, that have studied the plan, have consistently said this plan is burdensome, and unrealistic given the production and the economy of the country.

In other words, this constitution is a utopia that pretends to adapt a bad copy of socialism as its main ideology, when really what Mr. Correa is doing is not socialism, but rather totalitarianism.

While there may be some good articles as you have mentioned here (nature's inalienable rights), there are many more that are just the opposite. For this reason, it is childish and ignorant to believe that this new constitution is going to be Ecuador's savior. Sadly, and by contrast, it seems this constitution and its main promulgator are set to doom the country.
