I wrote an [OP 15 months](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/they-keep-on-talking-about-the-brics-organisation-is-it-really-one/988874) ago expressing my contempt for this so called organization (I argued that it is more like a club, someone compared it to the G7, which is accurate, I believe), I have not changed my mind about it since. Other posters were not so negative, in particular some that are citizens of “member” countries. I think I would reply more forcefully to them today.
