Tariq Ali on Protest, Palestine and the Extreme Centre

[@jitendrajoshi786]

Evergreen Tariq Ali has still retained his radicalism and is an inspiring speaker! 👏 👏

[@greendragonspirit1646]

Tariq ali is such an intellect , I hope he continues doing interviews.

[@ericrobinson7184]

Tariq is enthralling, so rich with experiences.

[@cheri238]

Bravo 👏Bravo 👏, Tariq Ali!!!

[@JoeLiptow]

Q: Why are there not more people like Tariq Ali in positions of political power? A: Because the man is a selfless servant of the oppressed and not a bribe taker nor baby killer.

[@rd264]

joel, most countries are operated by the right wing. Thus in America the recent election showed why: most voters are right wing - most are apathetic or actually support the proxy wars in Gaza and Ukraine - the Jill Stein voters - few in number as you may know - STRONGLY opposed these wars.

[@MaryLou5239]

As a German I think Mr.Ali is perfectly right. Germany is the worst country in Europe when it comes to free speech.Ali wrote in the liberal Süddeutsche Zeitung. Nowadays this is unimagibal. Thank you for this interesting Interview. I learned a lot of it

[@Mellisa026]

Absolute respect to Tariq. Always on the right side of history. And, the bottom line is about comrades...forever.

[@Mellisa026]

And as for Hitch, at 52:50, truly the intellectual paragon..which i know he would dismiss as purile. But for me, remains 53:12 a definition of true hero.

Lol

[@muhammadbilal-dw3nx]

😂😂😂 , Gold Medal. Mentally you are in kindergarten.

[@MyWissam]

I was getting really depressed until he said we night see a new unified Ireland. ❤

[@johnbutt8852]

And he said it in such a matter of fact, understated way. Tariq would do his parents’ dinner table proud!

[@UK75roger]

Very interesting and informative. Just as i expected. Absolutely no areas of disagreement! Thanks

[@silvinacarrizo2726]

Tariq Ali, un imprescindible ❤️✊🏻

[@Ded_Silu]

I didn’t know that Tariq Ali has made impressions beyond the influence of British colonial lands!

[@RevertofAllah]

Thank you for this.

Long live Tariq Ali ❤

Fascinating

[@najmussaharbangash6924]

Someone we grew up knowing as "ours", although not seen personally except in passing in a demonstration against the Iraq war. Bless you - have along and healthy life. Regards

Thank you Tariq Ali 🙏

[@peacetheworld...........7105]

Tariq Ali......... yo ..... i saw him reading book ........ hes good person......

[@Quasime42]

Blaire peach and Southall riots section is very interesting to me. Id like to know more about the orcastration of events. And the officers that subsequently spent a lifetime working on the force and its support structures.

[@vivalaleta]

Sociopaths come up with devious plans but if it depends on a group of people it's difficult to omit normal people who are going to rebel.

[@jamilkhan715]

Wonderful interview by a wonderful right thinking person. Have always enjoyed his talks.ls his memoire is available in Pakistan ?

[@scenFor109]

You can protest systemic colonialism. Completely de-register as a voter.

[@johninman7545]

Just like the Nixon times! Why not? I lived in Isla Vista next to U C S B ,Santa Barbara,Ca. where a Bank Of America. In a time of 1970 100 agents and informants of 700 inhabitants .Three informants went into the bank.after the trial 3 years later this went to trial I was interviewed by the F B I

Glad to hear your cough is gone Tariq

[@Ded_Silu]

Imagine if all Bangladeshis, Indians, and Pakistanis had the privileges of education and rearing that Tariq Ali has had!

Is a French translation of this book planned ?

Long live Jill Stein.

[@aniketranade]

What a hypocrite.

[@yasirsaleem7025]

He needs to wax those hair

[@sheepwshotguns42]

enthralling edit- minus the jill stein bit. the left needs less idol worship and more policy focus. we should be supporting the state by state push for rank choice voting. stein doesn't do that, she just preys on the empathy and desperation of people every 4 years.

[@vivalaleta]

I agree with you mostly but that's bullshit about Stein. You don't have to worship her to recognize she has a gift and works her 70 year old ass off.

[@sheepwshotguns42]

@@vivalaleta does she? maybe when she comes out of hibernation in 4 years.

[@MaryLou5239]

​@@vivalaleta Agree 💯

[@vivalaleta]

@@MaryLou5239 I find it so heartening to know there's others out there that see what's going on.

[@Johnconno]

I'm pretty sure this guy was the drummer with The Beatles, is that right?

[@santosd6065]

Cannot take Tariq seriously since he tried to shut down Norman Finklestein's book on account of him ridiculing Tariq's use of the expression "birthing women". The compatible left blob is assimilating all my heroes.

[@rational-public-discourse]

? This man was very close with Edward Said. Said was close with Norman Finkelstein. Finkelstein was close with Chomsky. I am suspicious of you for trying muck up the waters Do you work for the NSA or the CIA, that is what I want to know.

[@KevinMcNaughton-vg8fp]

Mr Ali's ego is the size of Wembley Stadium. His lectures (interminable, never-ending) are carbon copies of the writings of Edward Said, Noam Chomsky, Susan Sontag with a bit of Orwell, Sinclair, Camus, Gramsci, Foucault, Lenin and of course Marx fused together. He loathes Britain and English (the language of the imperialist) but has made his home in London and has stayed in Britain for years? One wonders why? I once asked a Marxist friend to assess the contribution of Tariq Ali to the anti-imperialist struggle "minimal at best, but he'll tell us how important he is when he writes his autobiography."

[@Lunde859]

Who doesnt loath Britain what is not to loath . The US empires complicit in the Israeli Endlösing in Gaza . I dont hate brits but their politicians are not working for the poor and always follow every stupid , evil plan USA comes up with

[@nm1961maj]

pathetic observations. so much name dropping . very petty , almost jealous.

[@gerryburntwood9617]

Oh dear a triggered mere white privileged male! Did you not get to achieve anything despite your privileges? So it’s ok for white people to go and live in ( often steal) other people’s countries even if they don’t like the ‘natives’ nor their languages! I wonder why!!
