    Thank you Vijay et al. I can listen to you endlessly. Richard Wolff explains very nicely how Capitalism is Colonialism.

  • Hi Vijay! The rich content informing the argument of this great video has helped you educate all who seek to understand the economic realities underlying maladies such as racism and colonialism. Thank you for your great work and for supplying the names of seminal authors.
  • Deeply grateful for this. Wish you could re-post on your site so I could hear Mary more clearly but I got the gist of her salient responses to Vijay. Comrade Jenny (music teacher, Manhattan).

    After listening to Zizek's psychobabble and instinctive adoration of the West this is like a breath of fresh air. Prashad's ideas are powerful and direct, and concerned with the real world.

  • The videos of Justin Trudeau's scolding by Xi Jinping and Macron's escape from the angry mob - so satisfying to watch.

    I just was introduced to Lenin’s speech at international conference in Moscow in 1920. Lenin uses data that was provided by John Maynard Keynes in his book “The economic consequences of the peace”. Then Lenin wrote his famous work on imperialism, he also used data that was presented by another bourgeois economist, John Hobson. Information about actual political economy stage of capitalism is not something hidden and clandestine. The reports are pretty accurate and publicly available. The matter is in materialistic marxist approach to analysis, and building strategy on such.

    People need to become MULTI lingual!! Western empires languages were used by national liberationists for ntrrnatiinal national co ordination m intl coordination Zi& seek support. Too many countries have all languages as minorities ALL are less than 50 % or population. , so they need a common language. Victims used exploiters language vs. exploiters!—- like boomerang!! Since independence peoples need to develop national culture, but still needing natl—intl. larger language, Balance is tricky!!
