Communist Regimes | Prof. John Gray

[@Uriel-Septim.]

How did we ever believe that communism was a good idea with so many red flags.

[@JoeBauers8]

Yeah, we’ll just pretend that communism is destroying the planet. No wait, that is literally what capitalism is doing

[@IsmailofeRegime]

What were the "red flags"?

Fantastic clip John! Brief and powerful. Old guy has a job going but can't wait to listen to all of it. Have a younger guy here, 40's asking me questions, I'll have him listen to this.

" A mix of terror and deceitful diplomacy " a description of Putin which sounds true enough however could also describe the actions of our own politicians over the past two years....or am I being unfair, cynical n bitter ?

[@Toropetskii]

Cynical and bitter? Sure. But unfair? No, you've described them well.

They really are quite clear in their intentions, the blind eye of the west was exacerbated by it's greed, they thought they could be the parasite unscathed but it has become quite the opposite

[@jimbocho660]

That's the very definition of international politics. The once brilliant Gray has either sold out or is going soft in the head.

[@Tonywozere99]

Is he any recorded debates? Pro or against the motions

[@Karmazinov22]

Remember they're only talking about international politics between nation states, regimes labeled "communist regimes" by us in the west. But they don't critique or even discuss the ideas of communism at all.

It seems surreal to me that we carry on our everyday lives under the real possibility that Putin might use nuclear weapons.

[@vatsmith8759]

People have been worrying about various kinds of armageddon for thousands of years, all we can do is 'Keep calm and carry on'.
