Love listening to Vijay. A true hero of the people

Mr. Prashad sorts the war/peace issue very clearly as the NATO 16:09 warmongers and the global south. BRICS is trying to defend themselves against aggression.

Great discussion and excellent analysis 👍👍👍👍

A breath of fresh air - and hope that things will change for the better. The Global South rocks ! 🙏

Great discussion. Thank you , Vijay. Thanks to the hosts.

Love Vijay!! So informative!

Vijay explains things in such a logical clear way! We can all see very clearly that the current global order of Western domination can't continue.

Kudos and Thanks to ALL.

Fantastic and necessary discussion. Kudos to the interviewers for posing thoughtful questions.

Great report😊

No one clarifies political terminologies as Vijay does! Moreover, he puts them in the contexts of time and events. Thank you for this podcast.

Excellent lecture, thank you everyone that's involve in this discussion & research! It's such an important topic, I only wish more people will listen to it. ❤😊

IniI follow you wherever you go and I am with you in all you do Vijay! I thank you for your life’s work and always look forward to listening to your thoughts.🙏🏽🙌🏽

As a south african i agree that people here have massivley lost respect for the west, to a pont whereby even american war movies are just a bore and viewed as a form of propaganda.,that mood has spread to SADC countries. New mood!

Yesterday’s eagle, today’s ostrich, that’s how I see America today.

Vjay is great. He carries so much information in his head.

Very enlightening. Thank you.

An absolutely clear and useful resource that I had the chance to read this month. Thanks for your work with the Tricontinental Institute.

Thank you very much for this video. VJ is a humble and kind human. I can see how difficult is ,for the people of the West to understand,comprehend the problems of the South. A little example how German people can accept Israel actions . Trauma is a deep state of pain . VJ is So wise that if you ladies listen to him carefully you will succeeded in your quest.

The British Monarchy is an authoritarian establishment indeed. Also, in the UK, there's the House of Lords besides the House of Commons. Both have legislative powers and legal immunity. The Lords are not elected and their memberships can be entitled by birth for life or be given by the King. A classic recent example is the King gave David Cameron the title Lord and "parachuted" him into the House of Lords, so he could be appointed as the the Foreign Minister by the PM Sunak within 24 hr. after he was given the Lord title. It begs the question: What's so "free and democratic" in this British political system?

VJ has come to same conclusion that I have from my historical economic studies that this man is brilliant that this women would bow to his intellect as mine.

Excellent Vijay, one factor in the change of mood is the fact that Russia has defied Western sanctions and is defeating NATO in Ukraine. They have been an inspiration, especially in Africa. Pleased you say you are a Marxist and articulate the dialectic. I have I been a revolutionary Marxist for 40 years.

42:35 "Thank God I'm a Marxist" --Vijay Prashad

Excellent analysis & exposition on the state of the world. Vijay on fire.

Vijay is a gift!

It's like Israeli diamonds! Huge part of their "export" which avoids the blood diamond label as they cut and Polish them.

Presentations as good as this need a large electronic white board. Vjay Prashad graphically illustrates the structure of his thinking. In many respects Prashad retells standard informed history yet enlivened by his calm tone, uncomplicated vocabulary, fresh examples and eclectic knowledge base. He unmasks ideologically enforced labels, scrunches decades into explanatory phrases and investigates assumptions, trends, different purposes for military spending, the surveillance economy, and contradictions in globalisation, and intellectual property licensing. He notes the regularity of bombing bridges (and ultimately losing wars) rather than building them. He recommends Antony Loewenstein's 2023 book "The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World". His bottom line is to cautiously observe a "change in mood" coming out of the global south resulting recently in the lead imperial power's Secretary of State saying he is against being bullied. Prashad queries what might come next and argues it needs new ideas, new institutions and less turning territories into rubble.

VJs the man! An amazing mind.

Andrew Feinstein, Vijay!

I never use Chrome used Duck Duck Go.

There is the gardener, the garden, and the jungle.

Japan is a company of black rock, it's not a country

Future President of India (post revolution) right here.

Ah VJ, I am not worthy. Love to sit under your learning tree. The flood gate is wide open. Power to the new mood to diffuse the old toxicity.

Nerdy is the new cool, don't trip

No ‘BAU’? ‘Most’ ‘economic thinking’ is ‘short run’ and ‘redundant’? ‘It’ ignores the ‘supply side’? ‘Growth’ {and ‘civilisation’} depends upon ‘cheap’ F.F. - those so called ‘halcyon days’ are ‘over’. ? “The crisis now unfolding, however, is entirely different to the 1970s in one crucial respect… The 1970s crisis was largely artificial. When all is said and done, the oil shock was nothing more than the emerging OPEC cartel asserting its newfound leverage following the peak of continental US oil production. There was no shortage of oil any more than the three-day-week had been caused by coal shortages. What they did, perhaps, give us a glimpse of was what might happen in the event that our economies depleted our fossil fuel reserves before we had found a more versatile and energy-dense alternative. . . . That system has been on the life-support of quantitative easing and near zero interest rates ever since. Indeed, so perilous a state has the system been in since 2008, it was essential that the people who claim to be our leaders avoid doing anything so foolish as to lockdown the economy or launch an undeclared economic war on one of the world’s biggest commodity exporters . . . And this is why the crisis we are beginning to experience will make the 1970s look like a golden age of peace and tranquility. . . . The sad reality though, is that our leaders - at least within the western empire - have bought into a vision of the future which cannot work without some new and yet-to-be-discovered high-density energy source (which rules out all of the so-called green technologies whose main purpose is to concentrate relatively weak and diffuse energy sources). . . . Even as we struggle to reimagine the 1970s in an attempt to understand the current situation, the only people on Earth today who can even begin to imagine the economic and social horrors that await western populations are the survivors of the 1980s famine in Ethiopia, the hyperinflation in 1990s Zimbabwe, or, ironically, the Russians who survived the collapse of the Soviet Union.” ? consciousnessofsheep.co.uk/2022/07/01/bigger-than-you-can-imagine/ facebook.com/cosheep

A Better Definition: Instead of using the terms Global South and Global North, I suggest using more accurate terms. Whipco and Pocco. These would more accurately describe the difference between the two. BTW, Whipco means White People Countries and, you might guess, Pocco means People of Color Countries.

The reverence people have for “German engineering” disgusts me. It’s one of those “yeah, the Nzis were bad BUT..”. You know that Volkswagen made the engines that went into panzers.

I agree with you on many topics, but rationalizing Russian aggression is a bridge too far.

Hello CIA!🤣😂🤣

Belgium chocolate poisonous once upon a time one cannot consumed

divine central authority unity with substantive human rights choice for international law overcome political government separation from God

It's Belgian Chocolate because the Belgian working class produce the end product. Its not called Belgian cocoa beans.

As an engineer I understand China making the I-phone is capable of making Huawei themselves without the West. You are speaking about racist thoughts. They are incorrect.

Saying Russia and China aren't Imperialist is kind of convenient. I've read poth sides of the argument. Both have valid points. But its about facts. China needs to develop the world to use its surplus and to acquire more resources. What do you call that?

Just to help Vijay's "poor knowledge" - Manchester and Rochdale are in the north, not midlands. NWRA.
