[@beverleyreid563]

My most favorite Prime Minister of Jamaica.

[@yvonnegrant1173]

Mine too 😊

[@marciaMclean-m4b]

Mine too

[@promptstar]

To this day! Special mention for Mia Mottley.

[@michaelmcdonald2663]

Such brilliant mind! Great leader. His legacy should be protected but instead is being ruined by those who are raping the country now. RIP legend.

[@bantuman777]

Simply the best sorry I’m crying best we ever had the best whatever we’ll see, it’s just a shame to see what they did with this man legacy, such a brilliant mind🇯🇲👏👏👏💯🇯🇲

[@RaymondGrandison]

I totally agree with you there are several Caribbean men who are cut from the same leadership cloth: Marcus Garvey, Michael Manley, Bob Marley and Malcolm X. For these men the end did not justify the means, they stood for the "rock of truth." In spite of the setbacks, I'm convince the truth and right doing will always prevail, and the "end will NEVER" justify the means: This philosophy is from the "bottomless pit" spoken of in the Book of Revelation!

[@emanuelhaughton970]

Jamaica's greatest Prime Minister of all time,he laid the foundation for social justice in the entire region and beyond.

[@wayneanthony1089]

The greatest prime minister.... that DESTROYED the Jamaican ECONOMY with democratic Socialist Experiment He later admitted he made a MISTAKE....a mistake that Jamaica is still suffering from in 2024!!

[@faithjj6016]

Yes a visionary who was sabotaged by the Cliques of Jamaica who joined forces with the outside forces. The colonial masters bastard children who buy out the some of the original ones,They infiltrate the other party and hijack all businesses and overthrow the ordinance and fabricated a new narrative. This was were black power was defeated.Long live a great great greatest father of our nation MJM.

[@yungpooh5755]

You is the best Prime Minister we ever have in Jamaica. I was a little girl, but I remember you and still remember you you were so good to us so kind so loving. May your soul rest in peace love you, Michael Manley.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kgraamd]

IF HE WAS THE BEST PRIME MINISTER EVER COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHICH DIRECTION THIS GREAT LEADER LEAD JAMAICA TO?

[@jusreapfarmstv]

​@@kgraamdStop being naive. Michael Manley had to govern under a full CIA and American invasion. Sanctions and embargo were the reason for the struggles Jamaica faced in the 70s. Michael Manley transformed poor people's lives in Jamaica. As many said it was a second emancipation. So your hate for Micheal won't change history.

[@hyacinthmckenzie406]

When those prices started to get so high, then at that time, Jamaica and the Jamaican Government must start plant and grew their own wheat, soybeans, and everything else. The prices on those products went up very high.

[@Pamela-no6mv]

RIP bro you were simply the best

[@kgraamd]

@Pamela-no6mv SIMPLY BEST AT WHAT DISTROYING THE ECONOMY?

[@consciouseffortmedia]

This interview is amazing

[@merleneforbestnelson3458]

I wish Mackel Manley could come back alive and take back Jamaica he is the best PM ever may his soul rest in peace

[@presterjohn1697]

Moyers and Manley. Incredible men who changed the world.

[@Redline7395]

His mission and purpose was far much different than these nowadays bandits!!!

[@wayneanthony1089]

His MISSION and PURPOSE was great..... but his STRATEGIES were DISASTROUS.... especially for the Jamaican ECONOMY!!

[@andreaatkins8420]

[@consciouseffortmedia]

I strive for a world in which the workers of the global south can take and sustain democratic control over their resources, markets and workplaces. We need it so desperately

[@olivebuckridge9717]

Joshua had so much love for Ja and its people. RIP sir, no one else like u🙏

[@wayneanthony1089]

That love led him to DESTROY the JAMAICAN ECONOMY in the 1970s! He later admitted that he learned from Ronald Reagan in Cancun, Mexico..... that he made a MISTAKE. A mistake that Jamaica is suffering from until today!!

[@Garth-iz6qq]

[@duggyfresh28]

We will never ever have a leader like you Mr Manley

[@kgraamd]

I HOPE WE NEVER EVER GET BACK A LEADER LIKE HIM

[@ashebermulugata9]

Clearly expoused policy of Self Determination and Collective Well Being. Michael Manley heads and shoulders above the rest. R. I. P. Joshua

[@plzineedtogowayrn6353]

A true leader🇯🇲

[@lbrown2721]

Long live Joshua the only prime Minister who really try to uplift Jamaica

[@noahnelson6385]

This man gets it!

[@RaymondGrandison]

True Jamaican and "Best JAMAICAN Prime Minister ever!

[@DeniseKitson-t1f]

Great idea

[@natty.roots.423]

Joshau the man not the myth🎉

[@ingrampowell9111]

@evorreid1737 Michael Manley was David fighting Goliath without a sling. His bravery exceeded his intellectual maturity, and Jamaica paid the price. The wise man smiles with his enemy, and defeats him while he sleeps. Manley announced that he was coming to fight, and stormed impregnable gates!

[@AnthonyGriffitts]

The best 🇯🇲

[@vivalaleta]

The only way to instill and cement real democracy is employee ownership of all jobs.

[@presterjohn1697]

You're spot on.

[@tropics8407]

I do like an employee stock ownership plan plan 👍

[@vivalaleta]

@@tropics8407 That's just a hand out from the top that they can give and take away from you.

[@natty.roots.423]

@vivalaleta YUH must be a LABOURITE! Everything starts somewhere and evolution takes place.

[@vivalaleta]

@@natty.roots.423 I would hope that everyone is pro labourer. We, the people, need to push this improvements through.

[@beverlynBarnes]

Indeed ❤😂🎉

[@domarmuriel3562]

Michael Manley was a true leader

[@jameswalker5260]

I am from the USA but have lived in Argentina for the last 18 years, the economic dillema is frequently that the politicians offer the resources to foreign companies, mainly from the USA, and take loans from the IMF and world bank and those politicians are certainly taking money to make the agreements. Not saying that Manley was corrupt or that the Kirchners did that here, but Macri sure did. Furthermore when the loans are received we dont notice a bump in the economy, but when we fail to pay it back in a timely fashion, which always happens, we get charged interest and penalties and the economy tanks. If you dont think its corrupt ask yourself why any bank would loan Argentina money when it always fails to make the payments!! I doubt that we receive the full amount of the loan as its a long process for the banks just to make interest

[@JohnJohn-rz7tn]

The man was taking about BRICS before the concept was even formed, when the interviewer asked how does Jamaica get out of the economic dilemma , he said by forming economic partnership with other third world nations.

[@nerdknowledgeunlimited6023]

The bauxite levy helped to save Jamaica from becoming a very poor country.

[@ktg3180]

Given how things ended, I wonder if he regrets being so free with his thoughts?

[@jamchiney]

This is why 1980 election was so bloody, they had to get him out

[@ArleneClarke-dn8hk]

Dem who?de same ole jews dem who try fi kill everybody who waan good fi jamaican black people you aa bline, dats why dem no like de chinese dem. I well remembered what Marcus Mosiah Garvey said, never to trust any So called jews.

Socialism can be considered as you should love people as yourself.

A good education would be a privilege for the poor Whether they're brilliant or not under Edward seaga government always❤🥺😔🔥😹✅🤓💯✍️🐜😎🌍🏖️

[@lilyeti985]

Yeah I can see why the CIA was in Jamaica

[@gerald6919]

When you become best friends with America's enemy's CIA will make sure stay on Team America side.

[@indyfilm]

Bingo...

[@chrisper7527]

Bill made a mistake, calling Jamaica a “ Republic “.🤷🏽‍♂️

[@beverlynBarnes]

Culture online living❤🎉😂longer

[@Alloballo123]

This man understood super imperialism.

[@lbrown2721]

He was great he had the gift of oratory

[@nerdknowledgeunlimited6023]

He never wanted to live at Jamaica House. He preferred 2A Washington Close.

[@vivalaleta]

You expropriate those bauxite companies because they never should have been owned by foreign interests in the first place!

[@presterjohn1697]

Manley made bauxite companies pay higher fees in order to use for the national budget. This is when the CIA stepped in and began the process sabotaging Manley's leadership.

[@tropics8407]

Do not try to own it, that would be disaster, better to tax it like Manley said….

[@vivalaleta]

@@tropics8407 How would the country taking ownership of its own property be disastrous?

[@presterjohn1697]

@@vivalaleta Makes sense on face value however in a world run by psychopathic Europeans they would simply suffocate Jamaica economically and send it down the path of Venezuela & Cuba.

[@tropics8407]

Because the record of most state owned companies is quite abysmal, lots of nonsense political interference and meddling

And the poorest nations are black and span Espanol And this is not a very bad thing to say but Spanish people There's not a lot of scholars Could have been but poverty ✍️💯🤓😎 The mixture of the Latin word is a blessing😅❤🎉

[@keithpinnado6263]

The former prime minister the most respected and acclaimed Michael Manley seemed to perfectly diagnosed the problems but to,me his approach and application were,not effective. What mr,Manley should have done was to take a more gradual,and surgical attack,towards the problems socially and economically as a boy at the time when he was the prime minister Jamaica was very divisive and hostile and that made governance difficult.. In,total he,spent almost 12,years as prime minister of Jamaica 🇯🇲 and did he achieve the socio,economic progress that leaders are judged, I,have to be,dispassionate hero worshiping is not my way of analyzing Mr made his contribution and like anyone else recognition and thanks must be given not exaggeration.

[@gerald6919]

Michael Manly mix up with America's enemies was is down fall.

[@evorreid1737]

He is a good lawyer but difficult in implementing economic freedom to grow our country

[@beverlynBarnes]

I beg your pardon academical❤😂🎉

[@emanuelhaughton970]

Socialism or capitalism can't ever stand by themselves at no time they have to coexist full stop.

[@carenatingling2909]

Manley had too many thieves and unpatriotic people around him. The people of Jamaica need to know we have a part to play in the building of our nation. PM and MP'S alone cannot do it.

[@veronicagray5724]

American always fight others' country, but why ? They come in others country business and others can come in their business. why they insist in the Caribbeans business so much they Should mind their own business. The Caribbean do not interested in American business. But why they dip into every others Caribbean country business?

[@blesstrue8544]

You can not be Afro marxist.Karl Marx was a racist. Castro (White) Father or grandfather was a plantation owner or a slave master. Do wonder why Fidel the only European leader In the Caribbean at the time ruling with a iron fist. Not much different from the plantation system.
