RR7651A JAMAICAN ELECTIONS

[@sandybradshaw1879]

The terrible Civil War that RAGED through almost all of our High School years!- 1976-1981 Amazingly, our parents! mentors! Teachers! Church! and those who manned the Christian Summer Camps! And other members of ‘the Village’ walked us through! Mostly, God was our Helper! Interestingly though, the Arts! Music! And other creative aspects of the country flourished! I hope We NEVER repeat this NONSENSE!🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@edsmith4821]

Manley socialism was an effort to lift up the working classes and create a more balanced society instead of the massive gap that existed but in doing so he sided with America’s biggest threat Cuba and lost aid from the US which unbalanced the economy and he remained defiant until Jamaica was on its knees

[@Amidat]

tiny Cuba could be no "threat" to the US. It is just plain malice. Up to today they have Cuba under embargo... Just trying to starve poor people

The ignorant voters didn't understand what communism is, it meant that you share equally the wealth and resources, and social provision of you country amongst the nation COMMUN ( COMMUNITY) ISM. They allowed Seaga to have them believe that communism was a wrong and bad. In fact it is the opposite, to capitalism, where this is creates unequal opportunity and divide in class and wealth. Jamaica is rich in resources, hence the reason how Britain profited off of itduring slavery and colonalism. Manley knew this, and wanted to block off and shut off Western influences after indepedence to stop the exploitation, and keep the resources and wealth within JA. China started off as communist country, and look where it is today economically!!! Indeed China has now taken over the Caribbean and Africa, yet it was in the same position as the Caribbean and Africa 40 years ago. But because of its philosophy it has prospered as a nation. Seaga just sold Jamaica down the river to the USA and did nothing for the JA economy.

[@renanrafa2868]

Look how interesting what you said, I study the history of Jamaica a little, I was born in Brazil and I know a little about the political war in Jamaica by documentary about Bob Marley, where the interest of knowing this culture of you arose, I see that in all the world the story is practically the same, many people here in Brazil think and know it exactly as you said, good that today we have to be far more connected at the same time to have this message exchange, my dream is to know Kingstom, JAH BLESSD

[@celiasmith8662]

@Brian Abisdid The Government controls even in a capitalist system!!!! So what if everyone gets paid equally, this is what society should be about! The fact that you work harder and have more brains than your FELLOW HUMAN BEING, should not divide the individuals when working together as a community towards a common goal! Capitalism creates divide and greed!

[@celiasmith8662]

@Brian Abisdid Just listen to what you have written. You obviously can not distinguished between the purpose of the the two systems.

[@joemoe4972]

Manley had good ideas and plans. But he just went for them too fast. Bauxite is plentiful . But far away in other countries. Cheaper in Jamaica because of less distances.

[@joemoe4972]

Manley should have negotiated for a Smelter and a factory, A processing Plant where some of the Bauxite Ore would go from dirt to metals. More jobs. Like the Cement Company.

[@prickleb8796]

You think that it was that easy .

[@stephgalapagos7923]

That's why he's a poor mathematician and economist despite attending London School of Economics - David Coore couldn't believe his ears with all the goodies Manley was reeling out during one of his budget presentation - Coore's impression was like ''where's the money coming from to buy all these gifts?''

[@arieschronicles8373]

I don't give a damn about who is right and who is wrong. All I want for Jamaica is peace love and respect for all. NO PNP NO JLP . WE ARE ALL WE HAVE. NEVER FORGET THAT. OBJECTIVELY ITS ALL ABOUT THE FUTURE.

[@dmaster20ify]

Its really a cop out; when people say no PNP no jlp; when Micheal Manley and Norman Manley put there life on the line for us black people. Its much the same how they sold out Jesus.

[@zanxter]

Sounded to me (with every such of these clips I see) that Michael Manley would've modeled something similar to Col. Gaddafi's Libya. The task, thought not (theoretically impossible) would've been a lot tougher to achieve without the gift of black gold beneath the rich limestone. Seaga, the worst thing that happened to Jamaica since Colombus set foot here (and even before that).

[@renanrafa2868]

Hello, I'm from Brazil, who was Colombus? I've studied the history of Jamaica a lot, my dream is to get to know, I love reggae music

[@zanxter]

@@renanrafa2868 Colombus was credited as the first European explorer/expeditionsit to see the Americas. His voyages inspired other Europeans like; Giovanni da Verrazzano,Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, Hernando de Soto & others. He most likely has nothing to do with the aspect of Jamaica, you're interested in.

[@renanrafa2868]

@@zanxter yes, I see, more European braving the world as if they were the most important, stealing exploring the cultures of each place, here in Brazil the Europeans say that I discovered Brazil, but already had locals the native Brazilian Indians, so much that these Men talk, I wish all the people of Jamaica, Jah blessed

[@stephgalapagos7923]

''Time come'' that's the new PNP slogan - of course time come to mess up back Jamaica's economy again, 70's, 18 & 1/2 and 11 - 16. Every time the JLP builds a robust economy the PNP turn up afterwards and just demolish it. 60's economy grew at almost double digits; PNP turned up in 72 and by 74 the economy was in negative territory - then they blamed it on the oil crisis but they got more money from the bauxite than anybody else before, isn't it, but they never yet mentions this. Can you imagine what they would've done during COVID-19? Remember they messed up during CHIK-V and that was a minor outbreak compared to the global pandemic of COVID. Now Jamaica has one of the best economy in the region, unemployment is in single digit, net NIR is near 5 Billion US, infrastructure improvements all over the island - companies are complaining they kind find workers to work, lol. Why would the ppl want a change now???? Recent polls indicate the ppl want a change - they're crazy. Can the PNP perform any better, given their history???????

[@oneilgreen935]

PNP fuck up jamaica economy from dem time deh up to pj and portia

[@prickleb8796]

School, was there. Why did you not utilized it and better yourself and replaced PJ or Portia . Because of handouts . It is not blind to see that everything the Pj then Portia did Andrew continued them . Look at the highways . JLP made a statement that it was a highway to nowhere.....but they had to continue it and named apiece after the Blind man . During the time look at the many education facilities opened up . Why did you not go back to school and better yourself and try replace them . If you say did nothing it points to your educated level of understanding . The reality is some Jamaican can't read or write even today .
