I like the idea of economic incentives and I think they’re extremely effective, although the ones on the other end of them usually take years before they start to feel the full effects.
It’s incorrect to think that losing access to markets is beneficial for anyone, which is why using it as a bargaining chip to make people stop murdering each other is a good thing. Even if this imaginary Global South organization had another provider for goods, they’re at risk of being abused or manipulated by a lower number of trade partners who can increase prices at will.
Provider for goods? What are you on about? Western nations outsource all production to the global south (pretty much) and the only thing they make is overpriced software (hyperbole)
Some markets aren’t worth the trouble. It is not like Iran is losing access to China. It is losing access to a market that it had very limited access to if any.

I’m sorry that you disagree.

China is leading the world in cost effective manufacturing and infrastructure projects. I have no idea what you are huffing but it must be strong
Competition drives prices down. Bare minimum economic theory for you, you’re welcome for that.
Who is going to undercut the Chinese? This I want to see. Maybe the Europeans shouldn’t slap tariffs on Chinese products then.

How long do you think before we see some G7 states break rank and join BRICS? Or do you think they will go down together?
