[@satredp]

[@cheri238]

Vijay Prashad, I have every book he has written. Thank you, gentlemen !!

[@laurasmithshermer3563]

Really enjoyed your questions and your sincerity to shed light on the current conditions in the world while at the same time being motivated to make the world we live in a better place.

Staemer is supporting the genocidal regime in Israel and then tries to lecture China about 'human rights' -- Starmer is a sad figure.

[@Way827]

He's an agent of the US and Israel. The Labour Party of the UK is not the same as it once was. It is now a Zionist pro US party. The UK is done for, as is the EU. The US is too, but the elites are struggling to retain their power through evil acts.

Please look after your health, Vijay!

Vijay and I share a similar background in early Dead Kennedys-style late Lagerkapitalist anti-professionalatariatismo. Comrade Vijay, you deliver brilliance everywhere you go. Many thanks. ❤

1:08:42 What?? Deng Xiaoping was committed to socialism and also oversaw the mass mobilisation of the Chinese working class into privatised industries with diminishing worker rights beholden to foreign capital? As much as I appreciate this analysis of imperialism or hyperimperialism I am nonetheless incredibly suspicious of the tendencies of anti-imperialists to make ideological defences for the geopolitical interests of lesser or emerging imperialist powers outside of the West. For example, let’s not pretend that peace in Ukraine is a fully neutral arbiter here, as much as it is desired to end the war. The question remains ‘Peace to the service of whom?’

[@QuickEveryonePanic]

You're being metaphical and shortsighted. Apply some dialectical and historical materialism. Read some of what Deng Xiaoping wrote, said, and did. Hold that next to the situation in China now as opposed to then. Tell me exactly where he was wrong and why. As to your point about Ukraine, that's just the world upside down. The question should always be "war in service of whom". Acting like this war is somehow the natural state of things and trying to end that is somehow meddling in that natural state and will only benefit one party is just absurd.

[@kevintewey1157]

You are not a realist, let.Those companies help the communist countries begin because they could not do it on their own at the time. Sorry but if you want better anti imperialist , you have to move to china because It's actually about action and getting off your ass

[@kevintewey1157]

Deng Also, said "to be rich is glorious" & ".Communism is not about poverty"

[@kevintewey1157]

" Peace to the service of whom ,?" because war is a service to whom? 😂😂

When marx himself said it would take capitalism to start socialism
