You can be a hero too. You can do something about it as an individual. Speak up, protest, boycott, educate everyone around you about the atrocities and crimes being committed by the racist genocidal Zionists and their Apartheid policies. There is so much each one of us can do as individuals to force our so called "leaders" to follow suit. Evil thrives when good men and women do nothing!
Great interview! Dutch journalist Bram Vermeulen made clear documentorie over obstruction of project in África state. They were not allowed to make product and pressured to keep selling raw materials
As a South African and a human being, Mr Vijay Prashad is absolutely correct... About the Global North's diminished (very often non-existent) value of non-Western lives. Yet we are supposed to show compassion and sympathy for victims that look like them. South Africa was caught up in this behaviour for most of my life into early adulthood and we say: *_"NEVER AGAIN!!!"_*
As a Canadian, I am waking up to the fact that my country was (and still is) based on colonialism). Palestine's situation has encourage me to identify the injustice in my own backyard. I am a fan of Vijay Prashad. He has a clear perspective, and I can't argue with what he says. Thanks for inviting him!
We can end the trauma in our generation, even if our countries were founded on colonialism, it doesn’t have to proceed along the same structures. We can learn to see it and learn what could have been, and make the future relations better.
The "international division of humanity" - this is a sad, and sadly true, description of life. Thanks for an excellent interview. I learned a lot, I sighed a lot, and there's still a lot of work to do!
I always learn something when listening to Vijay Prasad. Eloquent, clear speaker. No "ah, er, uh" or stuttering as so many speakers do now, as though they are afraid to speak or cannot think their way clear. Vijay speaks his convictions without apology or hedging. This is personal sovereignty in action!
Vijay Prashad is a wonderful person, author, journalist and one of the best Historian in today’s world. War criminal Netanyahu must be brought to justice, prosecuted and punished for his crimes against humanity and genocide committed against innocent civilians including children and women in Gaza.
So clear! A wonderfully concise examination of the bed fellows of colonialism, neocolonialism, neoliberalism, imperialism, and hyper imperialism. Thank you Vijay. And thank you for this interview!
Very insightful! It's great to hear the perspectives on this issue from other cultures! We Americans hear so little outside our worldview! Will surely watch more of your videos
EXCELLENT...WE NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST IMF AND WB...CLOSE ALL IMF AND WB OFFICES IN OUR COUNTRIES..CUT THE FINANCIAL BLACKMAIL...REGAIN OUR FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC AUTONOMY...
Bravo to your channel!!! Your world view is absolutely correct. And thank you too, Vijay for your loyalty to the anti imperialist movement. You are with the forces of good, non aggressive and civilized, unlike your savage aggressive competitors who believe more in the murder and assassination of their opponents, while you continue to believe in the immutability of logical reason. Thanks!!!
Always a pleasure to listen to Mr Prashad. Here in the West we are starved of such powerful voices from the global south. Western Marxists are very often unable to conceptualize problems and solutions that mesh comfortably within non-western contexts. Prashad's thinking is particularly attractive precisely because it is informed more directly by the struggles of peoples outside of the West. Radhika Desai and Arundhati Roy are two others who provide such alternative perspectives.
Salute you Vijay, a gem from beautiful Hindustan, Salaam Respect Nameste Satsariakal Shalom to hosts guests and viewers. Proud of you, how precisely explain, in very plain language the phenomena of North and South difference.
I see vague references and guesses for answers, but you just have to watch the interview. Vijay gives a clear answer if we listen carefully. In sum: The ICJ is a western racket, meaning much posturing by this body but only with little action. Interview EX: The blonds of Ukraine are given a priority with rapid criminal charges by the ICJ put against Russian leaders. But it takes months for some kind of declaration (not charge) by the ICJ of a plausibility of genocide of darker-hue Palestinians against Israel. And further in the past, the unlawful invasion of Iraq by the USA, clearly a violation of the international law, is not acted upon by the UN nor the ICJ. This shows a clear pattern of bias that favors the US and its friends--ie Israel in this case. Reasonable expectation with such powerful influence from the USA (as Israel's supplier and "shield" in its criminal endeavor) and a resultant pattern and bias with international bodies? Bibi will not face prison. Vijay makes this case very strongly.
Our full DEMOCRATIC PROCESS, MEDIA & politicians from ALL PARTIES are CORRUPTED by Israeli ZIONIST WARMONGERS bribing lobbies. OUR leaders have become puppets of Israeli lobbies,ADL, AIPAC etc. GET RID of these LOBBIES to save our Country.
I visited Malaysia recently and met a Rohingya living there. A million Rohingya wandering Asia and even Malaysians are indifferent. I travelled to India the next week and no one I asked knew anything about them. No one except for hateful politicians in India even knew who Rohingya are. Later I flew to Melbourne, but by then I'd given up on talking about then. Many people do know who Palestinians are, but by number and religion Palestinian people and Rohingya are the same. One group trapped and hated and the other expelled and hated. So no, it's not just first world people who are indifferent and that makes me feel sad and lonely with my prayers.
You met a Rohingyan, but have you live with them? They caused trouble that even Indonesians refused them, ungrateful and demanding, they abused their UNHCR card to get away with the law, formed illegal settlement and driving away locals who have been living there, sets up illegal business and gets away from local authority by playing victim card waving their UNHCR card everytime. They took subsidized food meant for poor citizens and hoard them in their house. Ask the Burmese why they don't like the Rohingyans. Ask the Bangladeshis why they refused to take them all into Bangladesh?

Imperialism has existed since the beginning of modernity, with the global North (led by countries like the US) extracting wealth from the global South. 00:46 *🌍 The changing global political economy* - The end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall were seen as the "end of history" by some, but China's rise and other factors have challenged US global dominance. - An empire in decline can be most dangerous, so understanding the changing global political economy is crucial. 01:13 *🤝 Introduction to Vijay Prashad* - Vijay Prashad is an Indian historian, journalist, and political commentator, currently based in New York. - He has written extensively on topics like Cuba and the concept of imperialism. 01:54 *🧠 Defining imperialism* - Imperialism goes beyond direct colonial rule, as it can also manifest in the constraint of a country's sovereignty over economic, cultural, and political decision-making. - This lack of true sovereignty, even after formal independence, is a key aspect of imperialism or neocolonialism. 04:47 *🌍 The concept of neocolonialism* - Neocolonialism was coined by Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana, to describe the new form of colonialism that emerged after decolonization. - Neocolonialism refers to the continued extraction of wealth and constraints on sovereignty, even in the absence of direct colonial rule. 08:36 *🚀 Defining "hyper-imperialism"* - To understand "hyper-imperialism," Prashad provides a historical periodization of the last century: - 1917-1989: The Cold War period, where inter-imperialist conflicts were dampened by the existence of the Soviet Union. - 1989-2006/7: The unipolar era where the US attempted to dominate the world, but faced resistance. - 2006/7-present: The current "hyper-imperialist" stage, where the US and its allies increasingly rely on military force to maintain hegemony in the face of China's rise. 17:07 *🌍 Defining the "Global North" and "Global South"* - The Global North refers to a relatively cohesive military, political, and economic bloc led by the US and its allies in NATO and the G7. - The Global South is a more diverse and loosely connected group of countries, many of which have a shared history of colonialism and struggle for sovereignty. 24:35 *🇵🇸 The situation in Palestine* - The divide between the Global North and Global South can be seen in issues like the situation in Palestine, where the Global South often expresses greater solidarity. - The speaker brings up the example of the Malaysian prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, challenging the German chancellor's perspective on the issue of Gaza. 25:27 *🌍 Residues of colonialism and the international division of humanity* - The memory of colonialism and the international division of humanity shapes the global South's struggles against imperialism. - The Western media tends to focus on the stories of the global North, neglecting the experiences of the global South. - There is a perceived hierarchy in the coverage of tragedies, where the suffering of certain groups is prioritized over others. 27:26 *🇵🇸 The international response to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict* - Leaders from the global South can empathize with the Palestinian struggle due to their own experiences of being treated as "lesser than" under colonialism. - The international community's unequal treatment of the Ukrainian and Palestinian conflicts reflects the ongoing international division of humanity. - The religious aspect, particularly the sense of solidarity within the Muslim ummah, also plays a role in the global South's response to the Palestinian situation. 30:34 *🏛️ The International Criminal Court's arrest warrants and the US response* - The International Criminal Court's arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders have been criticized by the US government. - The US's response reflects a double standard, as the court has historically focused on prosecuting leaders from the global South while overlooking alleged war crimes by the global North. -

The International Criminal Court has a reputation for being biased towards the global North, often failing to indict leaders from the global North for their actions. - The US has actively undermined the ICC's investigation into the situation in Afghanistan and Israel's actions, demonstrating its power to constrain the court's activities. - The US has also used economic and military threats to prevent countries in the global South, such as Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, from developing regional economic cooperation and partnerships with China. 40:12 *🌍 The decline of the US empire and the rise of regionalism* - The US's hyper-imperialist tactics, such as military threats and economic coercion, have been used to undermine the sovereignty and development of countries in the global South. - While the US may lose some wars, it is adept at destroying infrastructure and forcing countries into dependence on the US, rather than building lasting governance and legitimacy. - The global trend is towards increased regionalism, with countries in the global South collaborating and forming economic agreements, rather than the emergence of a multipolar world order. 50:19 *✊ The path forward: Sovereignty and dignity* - The key concepts that should guide the global South's struggle are sovereignty and the pursuit of dignified lives for the people. - Achieving sovereignty and dignity will naturally lead to the revival of socialist and egalitarian alternatives, as unequal societies cannot provide dignified lives. - Countries in the global South, such as Malaysia, have used instruments like capital controls to defend their sovereignty, which can serve as a basis for further progress.

The last 5 minutes give such an important message to the global left. We should be working on creating the right environment for healthy ideologies to grow, not try to push for our ideologies of choice.
The last 5 minutes is the Response from Vijay from the previous swipe from the Host disdain of Socialist or the global left. If you notice there is a wince from Vijay
The fact that Netanyao still is a free man is proving what a shithole the world of big finance and politics is. Worth zero respect. They treat normal adult people like slaves or idiots. And then they ask for respect. All they desreve is COMPLETE DISRESPECT.
I accidentally discovered your channel~ boy, am I glad I did, I'm so pleased to hear someone like Vijay Prashad, he speaks exactly how and what it is, spot on!! Thank you both ~ keep up the good and honest work!!
Very smart and articulate by everyone. The host was very skillful and knowledgeable with initial definitional questions to provide a solid ground for a clear and well-organized interview. I know of so many "left" intellectuals working in universities who have lost touch with the larger reality and puff-up over theoretical details while losing relevant focus and concerns about others. This man gives us more hope without the excitable and less historically-theoretical informed views given on some other TH-cam channels. And most importantly, the message is that actual change will well up from those countries and people subjected to the horrific imperialism of Western capitalism-- regardless of the theoretical ramblings of theorists here.
This is a great interview if you are concerned about the injustice around the world caused by greed, capitalism and imperialism. The tripartite evil in present day US and Europe
Great interview thanks, also to MrPrashad. For this great College master class , on geopolitics Please please more of these Master classes PORFAVOR hermano, God bless, tu hermana guatemalteca living inamsterdam Patty G
Shri Vijay rare germ. I never miss his out put. Great human being, and very articulate man. He's not one those who sold themselves for miserable price; despite the tremendous amount of dirty money flying around.
Wow!! This man is a fountain of information & knowledge. First time I ever heard of him. I learned so much by listening to this interview I was looking to see if he had any resent videos as this one is few months old. Great Interview.
Brilliant, Amazing, Fantastic discussion. We need to invite more intellectual heavyweights like Vijay Prashad to speak and spread awareness 😊 Really excellent discussion - Vijay is so clear and informed as ever
Right NOW I observe that ALL Muslim Countries, the Entire West and China+Chinese looking countries show a "hate filled response" to anything and everything India does. I say WELL DONE ✅ INDIA! I TRULY MEAN THAT. Your Adversaries are BURNING UP with jealousy. YOU are getting it RIGHT 👍. Go from strength to strength 💪. Of course that leaves a small number of Countries that stand or have stood with India, to whom India is loyal; Russia, Israel and Abe in Japan when he lived. Some others too but you get the point.
YOU TELL THE TRUTH I AS A MUSLIM ADMIRE YOU MY ANCESTORS DIED IN 1857 BHAGAVATH IN INDIA FREEDOM FIGHTERS WHICH THE WEST BRAND "TERRORISTS" THIS IS THEIR FAVOURITE WORD NEVER USED FOR THEIR OWN TERRORRISM
This is so beautiful conversation that helps me to see why this horror is happening today and to be aware that it will continue to be in the future ...until the US and company implode...so to say.. Thank you and VP❣️

They took subsidized food meant for poor citizens and hoard them in their house. Ask the Burmese why they don't like the Rohingyans.

Wow!! This man is a fountain of information & knowledge. First time I ever heard of him. I learned so much by listening to this interview I was looking to see if he had any resent videos as this one is few months old. Great Interview.
Thank you vijay❤
Great man
Great analysis, Vijay. Thank you for BFM 89.9!

Yes but Indian press cries about Israel and not about the Palestinians. Why is that ?
Because their minds are colonized. The plantation is portable.
Their hate for Islam...bcos Palestine is Muslim majority
Right NOW I observe that ALL Muslim Countries, the Entire West and China+Chinese looking countries show a "hate filled response" to anything and everything India does.
I say WELL DONE ✅ INDIA!
I TRULY MEAN THAT.
Your Adversaries are BURNING UP with jealousy.
YOU are getting it RIGHT 👍.
Go from strength to strength 💪.
Of course that leaves a small number of Countries that stand or have stood with India, to whom India is loyal;
Russia, Israel and Abe in Japan when he lived.
Some others too but you get the point.
India does not 🚫 support Israel's Geno.
No sane country would.
Do not conflate things.
India supports Russia but not the invasion of Ukraine.
Coz they miss having masters.
YOU TELL THE TRUTH
I AS A MUSLIM ADMIRE YOU
MY ANCESTORS DIED IN 1857
BHAGAVATH IN INDIA
FREEDOM FIGHTERS WHICH THE WEST BRAND "TERRORISTS"
THIS IS THEIR FAVOURITE WORD
NEVER USED FOR THEIR OWN TERRORRISM
Brilliant!
Excellent clarification.
This is so beautiful conversation that helps me to see why this horror is happening today and to be aware that it will continue to be in the future ...until the US and company implode...so to say..
Thank you and VP❣️
