Tariq Ali on U.K. Elections, Corbyn’s “Radical Social-Democratic Program” & Rise of Extreme Right

[@DemocracyNow]

17:59 - Tariq Ali discusses the uprisings sweeping the globe, from Chile and Colombia to Iraq and Lebanon.

[@ms9771]

Yes! And once again, no mention of what’s happening in Algeria. It is baffling to see how little media coverage it’s getting. The uprising in Algeria has been taking place since 22 February 2019 and managed to kick out the president and the people still take to the streets every week for a radical regime change...and yet, hardly any mention of it is to be found.

Those uprisings in South America are pushed by the Foro de Sao Pablo and the Venezuelan regime who are literally financing them. Colombia and Chile are one of the best countries in the region "economically speaking" Venezuelans" are migrating to places like Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina precisely because those offer the best systems for them to grow as people.

The task of the government is whatever people indicate it to be through effective democratic process (which hardly exists). Which would probably come down to what you are saying. It's kind of crucial not to miss the democracy part tho.

[@civis.revixit]

@@wishcraft4u2 Well that's a bit more like it. In scripture, there is a messianic prophecy. It says, "For unto us a child is born Unto us a son is given And the government shall be upon his shoulders And his name shall be called Wonderful counsellor Mighty God Father of eternity Prince of Peace" But that is a divinely appointed rule. We are talking about government from a human perspective ... And the world has, and has had, many flavours, from (Structure) . Anarchy (No publicly enforced government or political structure) . Confederacy .. union of sovereign states . Federation - union of partially self-governing states . Unitary state - single sovereign state (Power source) . Autocracy (Monarchy or dictatorship) . Democracy (Rule of the people, the demos exercise power directly over those who they elect) . Oligarchy (An elite group are the decision makers). As far as what they are "supposed" to do ... Well none of them do that anyway. EU is a federation with what are reputed to be democratic states but IMO the last few years of UK politicking show me that it is more and Oligarchy of people who think they know better than the electorate, and feel free to ignore what the electorate say when it does not suit their purposes.

[@wishcraft4u2]

@@civis.revixit I don't think I agree with your political science schemata, as an Anarchist I don't think anarchy is necessarily when a society is devoid of structure or of rule. It would in fact only be feasable to achieve anarchy (lack of rule by power) in the utmost presence of rule by explicit mutual agreement of all involved. That would also be the utmost in democracy. It would also make any existing power (which would then never rule in any strong sense) to be entirely public in the true, non alienated sense of the term public. Meaning: not controlled by a few individuals which we then deem "public officials". But truly in hands of the public, effectively and directly. I also don't think confederacy or federation should necessarily be among sovereign states. They can be any kind of polity. And that doesn't have to be a state. Anarcho-Syndicalist systems are basically confederations of grassroots democratically organized interest groups taking over the whole of society in a way that achieves direct democracy.

Why no body ask Melania if she want to be in such formal party with this fake Brithish free loader as monarchy , as least she should have little persses to keep in his hand on, just like them

​@@danzel1157 Big Pharma makes money out of the NHS being publiicly funded. The mega corporations would lose money from privatising the NHS in England. Politics aside, we have a population that is sicker than ever and which dispenses more prescriptions than ever. I don't blame the NHS for this. My observation is true in the case of other countries also. And younger people are sicker with an array of chronic diseases. Is this because doctors are now more prescription writers than physicians? I don't know, but look around you at the many sick and suffering who are young.

Tony Benn would have been a Brexiteer. This guy is getting a bit long in the tooth tbh

[@susanneyuk-pingpong8705]

No he wouldn't. If he'd seen the right wing dominated campaign for a disaster-capitalist Brexit he'd be a remainer.

@@susanneyuk-pingpong8705 your talking through your backside or don't know your history. Oh and it's not just a right wing agenda. In fact most large companies love the eu - I wonder why, unlimited labour and no need to train😃!!

Heh, Americans trying to make the British political system into Bipartisan terms. Might make more sense, isn't the truth, it's not like Labor is even the furthest left party of them, there's at least 2 more.

I hate hearing this Pakistani talking about racism in the conservative party. He comes from a extremely racist country and has double standards. People like him only use democracy.
