Churchill his times, his crimes - Tariq Ali

[@futures2247]

the power of the media in shaping hearts and minds is awesome.

Thank you Tarik. You are the hero.

This epitomised the problem posed by the pedagogy of the oppressed - deprived of critical thinking capability, across vital areas - people are similarly deprived intellectual self-defence, and fair game for this 'myth making'. Living in a world where Western war-criminal walk free, massive fortunes intact, whilst Julian Assange, and other heroes are imprisoned, their prospects strangled, demands that this be fought - difficult indeed, but so necessary!

It is easy to fight Churchill, he died in 1965. Meanwhile India still has its caste system, and still blames Britain for drawing the partition line in the wrong place, as if there was ever a right place. No doubt Churchill is still responsible for two parts of the former Indian state pointing nukes at each other. Tariq Ali is a rabble rouser, with nothing to say about todays world.

We are blinded to the real facts

During and after the Great War, Britain and France led the invasion of Russia or what had remained after Tsardom collapsed. They failed, and there are still captured equipment like tanks on display from the failed Anglo-French led invasion. Similarly there was the Third Anglo-Afghan War with the increasing backdrop of assertive Indian Independence movements. There were continual uprisings in Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine during various mandates. Also there was the successful Irish War of Independence that resulted in unpopular treaty ports. These independence movements continued even throughout 1939 to 1945 when Britain itself was caught up in the very violence it perpetuated coming back in on itself. From 1945 the struggles for independence were already underway in Indo-China and Indonesia. India had another big mutiny in 1946, and Britain tried and then failed to return the unwanted Dutch to Indonesia. Anglo-Zionist war saw the Zionist forces use the same British tactics against them and paved the way for the current conflict. British ruling elite in the country turned in on the British people (exploit working class divisions) and really aside from American leadership had no real 'friends'. The Cypriots soon sought to eject British presence in their homeland only for Turkish invasion to happen. Blair, Major, Thatcher and the turnstile tories continued the neo-liberal policies domestically and continued making ever more adversaries a pattern the last 200 years.

Why do all, nearly all Leftists, including Marxists (so-called), discuss only the polytics, and DO NOT discuss the ideology,i.e., Dialectical And Historical Materialism, and their ideological perimeters to describe the history, the present and the future of the people??

OMFG, no wonder they're scared of CRT.

"Margaret Thatcher decided to wage a war in the Falklands." I admire Tariq Ali on a number of levels, but his misunderstanding of the Falklands War, its genesis and its prosecution combine to ensure that I'll listen very critically to what he has to say.

[@luiscoutinho1139]

Exactly. Falkland's war was waged against a fascist argentinian dictatorship that invaded the islands

[@josephfleming5364]

From History.com...Thatcher’s decision to go to war to recover the islands was at odds with several members of Parliament and close advisers, as well as U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who repeatedly urged peace talks. "When you are at war you cannot allow the difficulties to dominate your thinking: you have to set out with an iron will to overcome them," Thatcher writes in Downing Street Years, her 1993 memoir. ''And anyway what was the alternative? That a common or garden dictator should rule over the queen's subjects and prevail by fraud and violence? Not while I was prime minister."
