Comrade Vijay isn't just an academic but a powerful moving speaker. Everyone needs to hear this . I appreciate that he speaks about Rishi Sunak and Joe Biden as imperialist but as ordinary uninspiring forgettable leaders that have no connection with the people. The West can't produce great leaders. This is a decadent imperialism. 300 families from Gaza are wiped out forever. We can't keep saying no to imperialism. But we need a project that we can say yes to.

[@steverolf5279]

What about Russian imperialism? What about China giving the world covid?

[@nurainiarsad7395]

hyper imperialism is like growing crops but never harvesting them, piling it away, letting it rot, so that it begins to spoil even as people starve, while taking more and more resources to keep planting more for still more indefinitely deferred harvest.

[@John-ez4wj]

It occurs to me that as long as any person expects a solution to come from outside the self, that solution will replicate the capitalist character, even if it is called socialist, or alternative. The essence of socialism is the awareness -- by the individual -- of the human virtue within his or her individual self as a human being. This is an integrity that burns like a light drawing the individual ever deeper within, until the mind can stabilize in that realm of virtue, without any help. From this, true intuition comes. Only AFTER all this has happened does that person have anything to offer to the person next to him or her. And only after this spontaneously grips many people simultaneously is true socialism ignited. Then, what keeps socialism alive and effective depends entirely on each individual dedicating time to awareness of that deepest level of personal integrity at which Oneness is known beyond a doubt.

Vijay calling things "mediocre" is carrying me through 2024.

[@owl6218]

what he says about imperialism is right. but that is all. the transcending of imperialism is not "socialism". After making a rather correct analysis of the current imperialistic stance and the problems it causes, he exposes himself as just another regular, living fossil of a communist. while what he points out is true, what he neglects to point out is more important. just because active communism is no more on earth, we cannot ignore its workings and doings in the recent past...lenin had no more of a "project" than biden...true, they had to spend huge amount of resources in hypnotizing the masses about their "project", but that project was never based in a practicality, or even a sincere goodwill for the population..it was about acquiring and keeping power, expanding it all over the world.and, if we are careless, or by freak of misfortune, this man, with his populist rhetoric becomes the next lenin, stalin or mao, it will only cause another cycle of suffering. the chinese revolution may have brought dignity to the people, but on an empty stomach, at a very great cost....that dignity could be cashed in practice only when they reconnected with capitalism....

[@jay19chandra77]

I agree and disagree with Vijay Prasad, Socialism is as bad as Democracy for a basic reason that corruption becomes endemic to either systems. He will know if he travels to Chicago or LA or NYC how people on welfare fleece the system. All the socialist countries that he mentioned how they were successful, is for everyone to see and reject it. Example: India since Independence until Modi came to power, China and their economic power has destroyed many Chinese citizens of a life, we know what predicament Russia is, and the list goes on -Nicaragua, Cuba, etc. Not rosy! On Israel, I don’t entirely agree Vijay is right because the start of the problem was Hamas’s abduction of Israeli women and children. And he doesn’t mention a word of it! But I do agree with him on how the West has destroyed economies and countries, which didn’t start in the recent past, it started at least 400+ years at least in India, they colonized were plundered not only trillions of dollars but also stole cultural and religious artifacts, which are perhaps less of a problem, but brainwashing and dividing Hindu society on the basis what they called caste system and pitted one set against another, Aryans vs. Dravidians, Dalits, etc. Consequently the seed for Hindu Muslim divide didn’t happen in the last 10 years of Modi but well before independence!
