Excellent talk by Prashad. Just one minor correction, the Sandinista Revolution took place in Nicaragua, not El Salvador. In El Salvador there was the FMLN which was a combination of five separate movements that joined to fight against the violent military juntas that were supported by the US. After they came to power under Funes and then Sánchez Ceren, they fell strongly out of favor with the Salvadoran people due to continual insecurity, neoliberal policies that contradicted their rhetoric, and corruption. It was an opportunity wasted. I recommend looking at the analyses of Dagoberto Gutierrez on what transpired in the Chapultepec Agreements regarding the Salvadoran case.

Vijay is a legend ❤

Vijay understands China better than most so-called China experts in the U.S. Amazing how clear your mind becomes when you’re not occupied by arrogance & self declared superiority.

Today I learned the difference between multipolar and multilateral. Thanks Vijay

A HUGE fan of the great Vijay Prashad! Always learn so much from him!

Great to hear Vijay again. No multipolarity but REGIONALISM+, marvelous insight! Thanks you!

It is always so informative and entertaining to listen to the wise man from India. Thanks Vijay.

Vijay is spot on again on how China was able to industrialize in the 1950s with the famous 156 large industrial projects which laid the foundation for today’s industrial power house. I’m from Changchun he mentioned where the Soviet helped China establish the very first automobile factory FAW (First Automobile Works). Today FAW’s trucks are sold very well in Russia especially after the sanction.

Thank you for having Vijay on, he is a great intellectual and knows so well about history. You are also great with your questions.

Excellent interview...thanks to both of you, solidarity from New Zealand.

VJ is always a joy to listen.

Love love love the great Vijay Prashad!

Mr. Vijay is expressing really deep views here. Thank you.

It is pleasure to listen to Professor Vijay.

Mindblown. Thank you for sharing this wisdom.

I totally agree with your analysis of the Latinamerican cycles Vijay. In the case of Chile let's not forget that the left was decimated during the Pinochet era. It was 17 years of ruthless persecution, followed by the glorious entrenchment of "democratic" neoliberalism, the fall of the Soviet union, the arrival of the drug cartels, the disappearance of all alternative media... No wonder there are few people left on the left who are capable of building up a coherent project. For the time being it looks like a timid social democracy is as good as it gets. But the world is changing and changing fast. That will be a source of inspiration and I hope it gets contagious despite our relative isolation between the Andes, the desert and the ocean.

Balanced and credible account.

Professor Vijay is a great political analyst. I just this❤

Thank you for having Vijay on! Love his explainatins!

I learned a lot, thank you!

Respect these 2 gentlemen from China

Great interview. Cheers from North Carolina!

This changes everything.

Great perspective as always

As usual. In depth, informed and high-level analysis!

I think people need to be with common sense that is constructive for the society. Instead hard core ideologically stuck. I am personally not conservative or liberal or any such label, I am more towards common sense and prosperity.

Great interview... thanks all

Someone needs to bring Vijay (good history + political/journalistic knowledge) together with others who're in other fields. People like Radhika Desai, Michael Hudson, TAIMUR REHMAN (highly under-appreciated guy) etc. Greatly interesting discussion!

Uplifting conversation. It gets us away from the hysteria around China 🇨🇳 by The War mongers who are working overtime to convince us that peaceful coexistence isn’t possible. The issue is inclusive development in the 21st century and addressing inequalities created by Capitalism. We equally ought to reform international institutions to reflect the demographics of our planet by having The Global South’s representation increased in International Institutions. This in turn will foster multilateralism and more cooperation desperately needed at the Global level. Not just having a few countries yelling and screaming injunctions at others. The Post-WW 2 institutions aren’t representative nor are they responsive to many of the 21st Century's challenges. This Conversation was a step in that direction. Thanks 🙏🏾

Good piece, more extensive coverage of corruption would be beneficial in all areas of the world.

Vijay based as always

Thank you Vijay for your understanding of the world and the the necessary critics of the left, I completely agree as I have the same problems with a bunch of lefty people.

Hello, welcome to the channel, and thank you for watching the video. We have a request for all our viewers. We have noticed that 80% of our viewers have not subscribed to our channel. Please subscribe to the channel, like, and share.

😊 A Big Woooow from Indonesia 🇮🇩 👍 🇮🇩 Great Geopolitical Analysis

I learn a lot from hearing you, thanks for your yeachings , I'm a Mexican from Chihuahua city

Great show. Thanks

Amazing talk, thank you for sharing all of this knowledge. Just wanted to verify the the Sandinistas defeated Somoza dynasty supported by the US in Nicaragua in 1979. They're from Nicaragua nor El Salvador. Farabundo Martinez Front is from El Salvador.

Vijay parsad great noledge God bless you 🙏🎉

I wish people (the host) wd ALWAYS state the DATE CLEARLY at the start of Every video so viewers KNOW when this was recorded. Thank you!

beautiful work, such intelligent analyses

Excellent👏🏾

In comparison to peaceful China, the US Imperialist Empire is sun setting. Except those brethren Anglo-Saxon countries, most of the countries in the World do not look up to the US Regime anymore! The problematic US Regime has lost its credibility & trustworthiness since the last year's due to its own terrible makings!

👍👍👍great interview with Vijay Prashad 👏👏👏

Salaam Respect Namaste to hosts guests and viewers and especially to Vijay Prashad...Proud of you.

Of course all these developments are a rebalancing, and most welcome they are. United States promotes its own bullying militarism, while China promotes international respect, peace, and trade.

Well-done.

Great interview!

Great analysis

I agree with Vijay on how some people get so hung up on details that they don't see how far China has come and don't support it. A lot of Marxists hate China when it's one of the major countries showing us a humanistic approach to how to exist in this world and how to do good by your people.

Another great analysis by Vijay Prashad . thanks again for his video

The main message coming out from this talk is get tge definitions clear in your own mind to understand the processes that operate.

Avec Vijay sur n'importe quel plateau de tv, on y apprend toujours de tas de connaissances intellectuelles ! Pour le bénéfice des téléspectateurs pourriez-vous organiser un débat sur votre plateau entre Vijay et Meirsheimer au sujet du thème de la multipolarité ? Merci d'avance !

one of my favourite persons 😄😍

Speak about the India -China border conflict that the USA and allies continue to spark, divide and conquer is their rule of the game ent it? I am here backing asia economic development, looking on from Latin america I wish the world could be an equally balanced global hegemony. China owns enough lands here in South America and Africa, why would the Chinese want more lands and invade India? On the other hand I have lost count of how many countries the US invaded in the last century.

in historical regionalism, there were wealthy people as well, who weren’t necessarily taxed, depending on the norms of the land. but there were no corporations either, and the wealth is wholly passed down to progeny upon death. and perhaps that’s a factor for genuine philanthropy, as well as the fact that people actually really resided somewhere and there was no such thing as a “tax residence”. in that individual wealthy people wished to leave a legacy and contributed to public works voluntarily, without even the benefit of a “tax deduction”. but corporations are immortal. and there are no longer individual mortals contemplating the final disposal of the bulk of their wealth and the legacy of their name, at the sunset of their lives. so i think corporations should be taxed, as there are no other ways that a society may use to induce their contribution to society, unlike for individuals who live among people and belong to a common culture.

I so deeply enjoy listening to the rational views of Vijay Prashad and look forward to more talks with him on your show with urgency 🙏🏽🙌🏽 You know there is a feeling, beyond the understanding ,I receive from listening intently, that it’s very hard to put a name to but I most sincerely hear an earnest soul pleading , “why can’t you be a good human being and act, even in your own homes, the fight for democracy and against racism begins there! Don’t wait for college we all have racists aunts uncles and grandparents that we must plead with before hitting the streets and saying this n that!” In the voice of Vijay Prashad🤔🙏🏽. Can anyOne else hear this plea as well…….?!

i highly appreciate comrade Vijay's evaluations. And i wish there were red star emojis.

Prashad forgot that american and european investors spent millions in india on tech in the 1990's!

Vijay!!! 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪😍😍😍😍😍😍💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

It's business and development where all benefits. I appreciate your discussion here. Also appreciate how India always do what is for the benefit of the own development even in extreme big bro pressure. Pity how the Philippine was over ridden with the US bases there ... not only as bases but as bait for proxy war.

Most countries in the world have current territorial disputes with other countries. For example... The US has disputes with: - Canada over Machias Seal Island, North Rock, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Dixon Entrance, and Beaufort Sea - Tokelau over Swains Island. - The Marshall Islands over Wake Island - Colombia, Nicaragua and Jamaica over Bajo Nuevo Bank - Colombia, Honduras and Nicaragua over Serranilla Bank - Haiti over Navassa Island The UK has disputes with: - Mauritius over the Chagos Archipelago - Ireland over the Carlingford Lough and Lough Foyle boundaries - Spain over Gibraltar - Argentina over Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands - Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Cyrpurs over Strovilia border checkpoint France has disputes with: - Madagascar and Comoros over Banc du Geyser - Madagascar over Bassas da India, Europa Island and Juan de Nova Island - Comoros over Mayotte - Mauritius and Seychelles over Tromelin Island - Vanuatu over Matthew and Hunter Islands - Italy over Mont Blanc summit - Suriname over French Guiana west of the Marouini River In the South China Sea, Brunei, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Vietnam have maritime disputes. But China alone is regarded as "aggressive" in its foreign policy.

No intellectuals / Academics / Scholars in modi india. it has been a desert since 2014

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Which one is more profitable to China, war or peace? Very obvious answer that ancient China knew thousands of years ago.

"Auqat" comment is perfect depiction of what Goras think.

Identify and Differentiate the Left from the Right To Integrate and Transcend the Right and the Left

venture capital banks - these are not typical investment banks connected to 'conservative' (whatever that means in todays' context) funds that return a predicable profit on investment - rather they are high risk / high return investment institutions - as soon as the Fed began increasing the cost of money, all investments in long shots became exponentially higher risk spaces - thus the venture capitalists run on their bank. But I agree, this is a canary in the coal mine - as foreign funds / nations begin to pull away from a crumbling US petrol-dollar, bigger less speculative banks will begin to fail too.

Vijay is a gift to the world, one must think india must recruit him to help build the country, stop the export of talent.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

My two fav intellectuals: kishore Mahbubani & Vijay! East Asia + ASEAN + India + South Asia Let’s gooooooo!

Prashad is such a beautiful mind. I always learn so much from him.

Historian speaking!

Wow, I haven't heard so far that México has that nationalisation policy!

👏👏👏✌️👍

Jyotishman makes a very good point about SVB bank in that they had tens of billions of dollars tied up in low interest rate bonds because they could find no where else to put the money. Capitalism is supposed to be so efficient, and that money could have been used in so many areas.. and instead the money lost on these bond investments threaten the whole banking sector and economy.

I am a minority in a south east asian country. Regionalism will be the end of us.

Why does multipolarity presage war?

5.30 am Est! Technology is crap and can be manipulated to the advantage of the top brass.

wish the interviewer would speak more clearly. or use a better mic

Commerce in Asia was relatively smooth for a thousand years+ . Europeans disrupted the peace for many centuries. Now, the peace and commerce seem to be slowly returning.

the svb analysis is bogus, they had few risky loans to startups, they had terrible risk management and were not hedged against rate hikes

While the guest (Vijay Prashad) is awesome (as always), I'm quite disappointed by the host (Jyotishman Mudiar) and his lack of understanding of basic concepts and world events.

WATEVER IMPLY CHINA . INDIA AND INDIANS WILL NEVER AGREE OR ADMIT ... because of territorials disputes, technology and economy .... UNFORTUNATELLY

部分

Comrade Vijay: You b a d !!! Eres chingon carnal!

China should invite Dr Vijay Prashad to visit Xinjiang and then to Beijing to give a talk to some Chinese academics.

One hour covering geopolitics of every region in the world. These guys deserve much more recognition for intellectual work. We still suffer from yellow peril and racism against brown people even on the inclusive topic of multipolarity.

Whats the difference between a regional world and a multipolar world?

India must stop the export of their talent, must bring those engineers back to make build the country

I agree: the world is moving towards "regionalism," not "multipolarity." China has no interest in being a pole. It leads a region represented by BRICS, SCO and RCEP that wants economic development, trade and peace. The other region (and pole) is the United States that wants to harvest the world, especially in the Global South, and to dictate political values everywhere. China and India are returning to a time (a period of over 2,000 years!) when they were alternately the world's largest economy and a regional hegemon.

The same day this video was released - "Change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years and we are driving this change together," Xi said while clasping Putin's hand. "I agree," Putin replied while holding Xi's arm. 'Please take care, dear friend," he added. A Multi Polar World has already begun. Vishay is wrong here. Some smaller European powers including Hungary and Serbia have begun to operate outside the EU immigration mandates, displaying strong sympathies with Russia. Chancellor Olaf Scholtz on his one-day trip to China, the first European leader to visit since the Covid pandemic, risking criticism from the US and his own party, stated the new pragmatism: ‘New centers of power are emerging in a multipolar world, and we aim to establish and expand partnerships with all of them. Latin American countries like the idea so do African countries. Enough of Colonialism! Iran and Saudi Arabia are switching from the Dollar to their own currencies. This will happen more and more...

Chinese welfare？ Am I in the wrong China？ We have decent public education， not everything else. Yes, we do not dismantle welfare, because we never have one, that is some privilege belong to Urban people. Most Chinese farmer’s only relationship with the state is paying taxes until very recently. I like we are provide an alternative way to the world, pls do not glorify how things are in China, it is an hard life if you are not born rich.

The Art of War is often studied and applied in modern-day U.S. foreign policy doctrine and the idea of a unipolar world hegemon. The U.S. has historically been the world's dominant military and economic power, and The Art of War provides guidance on how to maintain that power and handle potential challengers. One principle from The Art of War that is particularly relevant to U.S. foreign policy is the idea of "knowing the enemy and knowing yourself." This means that a nation must have a deep understanding of both its own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of its opponents. In the context of U.S. foreign policy, this means understanding the capabilities and intentions of potential adversaries, such as China or Russia, and developing strategies to counter them. Another principle from The Art of War that applies to U.S. foreign policy is the importance of diplomacy and alliances. Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War, emphasized the need for a commander to form alliances and build relationships with other states in order to achieve success in battle. In the context of modern-day geopolitics, this means the U.S. must work to build and maintain alliances with other countries, such as NATO, in order to strengthen its global position. Finally, The Art of War also emphasizes the importance of adapting to changing circumstances and being flexible in one's approach to conflict. This principle is especially important in today's rapidly changing world, where new technologies and geopolitical realities are constantly emerging. To maintain its position as a global superpower, the U.S. must be willing to adapt to these changes and develop new strategies for dealing with emerging threats and challenges.

Unfortunately, many choose to be wilfully ignorant about what Vijay is saying in this interview. I said wilfully ignorant.

Blackrock is not worth 10 trillion dollars in holdings. It manages money in total about that amount, but it's the clients money. Pension funds for example have money there. Still crazy though. Larry Fink the founder gets called personally during financial crises. And they have a lot of their own money along with a crazy amount of power over the market. It's in dollars though. Last time I checked Shiva's got his money in gold and doing quite well.

When the US condemns some country for some "horrific" acts, it is usually the US had been there done that, so one then must think what's the motive behind this condemnation. And not be "used" by US for its grand scheme of things.

I think Vijay has gain weight.

Rethinking Union of india. A must. A referendum in 28 states and 8 territories.

What an intellectual he is ! He just found out that the world is not multipolar!

I agree. We aren’t in a multipolar world, but in a bipolar one.
