Bro spouting ridiculous nonsensical bullshittery drivel about the Falkland islands belonging to Argentina but doesn't realise that it was British owned centuries before Argentina existed as a country😂😂😂👏
Jag stödjer Israels frihetskamp och deras rätt till sitt eget land. Det stora hotet kommer från islamismen. Det har aldrig funnits något land kallat Palestina.
@1:16:19 to @1:23:55 = absolute brilliance: Dr. Harvey's explanation of circulatory processes, of Capital and labour, contradictory unities, via human bodily processes... beautiful clarity, moving.
The right-wing extremists who masquerade as 'moderates' took over the Labour party, they sabotaged Corbyn and prevented a real labour government from running this country, instead we get Sir Keir Stalin the man for the oligarchs who has condemned millions to suffer in pain, misery and despair just like the Tories before him. Never again labour! My vote shall go The Green Party the only party that actually cares.
An English Trump of his time - the only difference is he has the blood of millions on his hands under the auspices of the British Empire. A present day Netanyahu ironically with the backing of the US also. Two war criminals! It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant the English are of their history and their bloody legacy that they have left all over the world.
You are a self proclaimed marxist and communist, a defender of the dictatorship within Venezuela, you were kicked out of your own university for hatful and racist tweets, your hypocrisy on when violent action against the government is justified is mind boggling, you refuse to call police "workers" which is wrong, as they unlike you have jobs and you somehow lost a debate against Tucker Carlson by making yourself look like a bigger moron than he is. You have no job because no university wanted you after seeing the shite you post online. You write your silly little books complaining about the problems while refusing to give any possible solutions. The "Community Defense" that we saw in Minneapolis and is your apparent "Broader Alternative to policing" resulted in 500 Million dollars worth of property damage, the burning alive of Oscar Stewart and the shooting of Calvin Horton and the assault of a great many people. The looting within Minneapolis that night was a shameful thing that you are staunchly defending, a corsetry google search show pictures and videos of this looting, that you have obviously not seen, showing hundreds running out of targets and gaps clutching as many electronics and luxury clothes as they can hold. I wouldn't say that 4 ultra wide 8k televisions and some Louis Vuitton bags were "Necessary to Survival" but I guess we just have different definitions of survival. You speak of safety while referencing a time in which a city was in ruin and lawlessness, the national guard was called and gangs and roaming gangs of looters were in control of the streets. Your plan to replace the police is to make it so we don't need to call the police? You cant just wave away human nature George! It doesn't work like that. Until you realize that any opinion you may have is moot! Your idea for a better society is to remove the police and pray things get better!
Old communist clinging to theories than have been proven disasterous vut supporting them by pointing to bad things done by the west. Churchill was a racist, therefore his leadership during WWII is superceded by this sin. Anything short of nirvana is a bad system or person. Please. Meanwhile, when Ali commenta on Castro ...
It is a fact that Churchill was not responsible for the Bengali famine. This Pakistani-Brit, Marxist shouldn’t live in England if he is such a hater, who is disseminating lies to destroy the English.
Churchill was a man born in the Victorian era so of course his views were very different to our globalist vision. Paul Addison, a most eminent WWII British historian, says Churchill saw British imperialism as a form of altruism that benefited its subject peoples because "by conquering and dominating other peoples, the British were also elevating and protecting them". Some critics have equated Churchill's imperialism with racialism, but Addison among others has argued that it is misleading to describe him as a racist in any modern context because the term as used now bears "many connotations which were alien to Churchill"

What is wrong with keeping England English? I don’t think this man would agree with Asia becoming white, but somehow it’s okay to destroy the home of the English people and their culture.
Of course Churchill was mocked in the 60s and 70s. All the of the west’s heroes, and western culture in general, is slowly being dismantled and destroyed, and it started after the war. It was put on steroids in the 60s. Today’s culture war is based on this. I’ll bet this man is sitting in the U.K. and not in Asia though.
As a Korean geographer who previously commented on your work, I'm excited to share that I've published a book introducing the thought of Professor Harvey. It will be distributed in bookstores today in Korea. Although I haven't had the opportunity to have a direct conversation with Professor Harvey, I learned a great deal through this interview. You can find my book by searching for "time-space compression"(시공간 압축) in Korean. I wish Professor Harvey continued health and happiness.
Still drooling over capitalism? Haven't noticed the endless trail of human sacrifices? Makes you feel special that other human beings are slaughtered for your sake?
Leninism makes no sense. The climate crisis is not a political nor an economic crisis (as yet). Leninist manoeuvring makes sense against a backdrop of severe poverty and archaic political structures that are seen as brittle and approaching overthrow. Hungry desperate people opt for a sudden restructure. The climate crisis is of course a radically dangerous threat to billions of people. But it can still be forestalled/ignored through 'business as usual'. Collapse will be relatively slow, selectively damaging nations and areas, but allowing some to continue on and perhaps make new empires on top of the weak ... Power politics and nation-state entities will continue to determine our fate on the planet.
Fantastic panel discussion. I'd like to learn more about what an international movement looks like. Is this things like an international labor groups? What else? Can someone maybe say more words to help describe what an international movement looks like? Thanks.
Tarik are you a communist or Trotskyite’s Churchill was a leader of British imperialist state at that time you can put any label on him but not a friend of working class even of Britain’s working class
