- 🌟Vijay Prashad is an Indian historian, journalist, and academic. He was a professor of International Studies at Trinity College, Connecticut and is the author of forty books, including “Red Star Over the Third World”, and “The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World”
His latest book “The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the Fragility of U.S. Power” was written with Noam Chomsky. He currently serves as Executive Director of The Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
Vijay is a public intellectual and I consider him together with people like Noam Chomsky, Yanis Varoufakis, or Jeremy Corbin one of the leaders of “the global left” pointing the finger at where it hurts: that colonialism never actually ended and the majority of today’s wars are still the outcome of imperial Western politics.

Vijay was my favourite icon among Indian .He's not bias ,with excellent philosophies, he's speaking with heart and soul, a geopolitical expert,and always respects him as my mentor ❤️
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Rooting for the rise of the Global South! cheers, from Canada🕊🕊🕊
The new name of Canada is Khalistan. 😂
@SDM496 Canada is too big with a small population. She'll be alright. Her greatest danger comes from her immediate south.
It is coming !
@@Mohazz88 My wife and I were just having the chat, what if Canada got buddy, buddy with China. Lol, I told her, 'honey, it aint gonna happen' ;)
💯😎👍
Dr. Prashad, I thank you for who you truly are and the great work that you do.
Vijay should speak at the United Nations and deliver the: Just relax, you're just another country, just people, speech... bring them down a few pegs, hopefully.
They would not give him a chance but BRICS would.
People in the US has been told there number one , exceptional, for so long they really believe it
The coming years will be particularly humbling for them in terms of standard of living, no need for anyone to point them out. If anything, the blow will be even harder for them given their arrogance.
@@BaronGitanoCafe Standards of living are indeed falling for lots of people here in the US. Unfortunately, we have generally been conditioned to believe that, when that happens, it's the fault of some malicious group of Others. There's likely to be lots of very ugly lashing out, in which people's aggression is directed not against our capitalist-imperialist ruling class, as it should be, but turned against groups of people our ruling class is already oppressing and exploiting.
Keep telling yourself that.
Love Vijay Prashad. He's my favorite. Also follow Jeffrey Sachs, Daniel Dumbrill, Max Blumenthal, Richard Wolff, Kishore Mahbubani and others. Brilliant!!!
Sachs responsible for Russian 90s turmoil lol
@@Q_QQ_Q
From which he learnt a lot and has used his knowledge wisely.
Don't know why some people think no-one ever learns or changes and that thirty years of experience means nothing at all.
@@Q_QQ_Q Sachs learned times went by....?
Add Aaron Maté to your list.
Not really. The US govt. did not follow his plan, don't you know? He actually had a plan similar to the one implemented in Poland but it was thrown in the bin.
About time!! Developing Countries have remained "Developing" since I opened my history book 50 years ago.. Time to change the Developers! I'm glad to see it happen in my lifetime.
Developed also turning into developing !! Not vice versa.
If anything it has gotten worse, poorer, hungrier and indebted to the first world that continues to subjugate back to the dark ages.
I can't wait for the USA century to end.
Hahaha, nice, really really poor developers 😂
It's true ...we are still developing and will not stop untill we decide let's stop !
The west has been sabotaging them for the last 50yrs, only China resisted them. Japan too made it
Fascinating discussion, thank you. What a good man Vijay is. My faith is restored (temporarily!).
He did a lot of research on western, especially US imperialism and hegemony
Apt comment. Sadly.
"Hey Israel - you're nothing special! Behave like human beings!" BRILLIANT! No wonder you get along with Chomsky. The world's bully has lost power and you can smell its fear! Thanks Pascal!❤
there is nothing special about the apartheid regime of israel and I doubt she would ever be able to behave like human beings. Thank you Vijay & Pascal.

Muslims dont care much about Nationhood . Its fckng 2023 still people are confused about their priorities.
Thank you Pascal and Vijay, for your perspectives and sharing this story with us and helping us to better understand why Russia and China are no longer prepared to comply with the dictates of an international system built under the auspices of an Anglo/American led West after the first Cold War and more importantly why China and Russia are now intent on replacing it. As President Xi Jinping recently said: "Sino-Russian relations have gone beyond bilateral relations and are of vital importance to the modern world order and the destiny of mankind.”
What kind of world order shall that be ? A world order in which Russia reverves the right to threaten, invade and annex neighbor countries ? That is the modern world order ?
Wonderful post
Perfect encapsulates the salutary sea change in the emerging multipolar world order
If invading Iraq and Libya based on lies and killing millions of innocent civilians is not evil but just "complexities," then countries can keep committing atrocities in this world and use "complexities" as an excuse.
Poverty can be a slow death. Poor people have nothing to lose. Despite the constant pressure from the rich.
No countries use justice as an excuse, and the people who deem it only justified and natural to condemn these atrocities ad evil and despotic are the very people who are vulnerable to become agents of proclaiming the justice served by ones own people to another

Thank you Vijay. The problem lies in the corrupt U.S. system of government and it's Constitution. Robert Ovetz points this out in his book "We The Elites".
The US is at fault though UK France Germany Portugal Spain Sweden Denmark all NATO Countries support US so together they agree to go to wars and causing wars in Other countries by Arming them arming warlords in Africa Boko Harem Taliban Alquida all armed by US. With help from UK then calling them terrorist so Hypocritical.
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for globalist oligarchs. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”― Smedley D.

Socialism is poison.

Vijay makes one point that I have disagreement with. Indian govt is not Right wing in the sense the West understands it. In India we have left and non-left. BJP Govt’s economic policies are more left than the previous governments. But I have always enjoyed Vijay’s talk, despite having fundamental differences. I have much respect for him.
Totally agree!
I think it is more like radical left and Centre-right.
You think in that way because you are seeing it in western model style
True India doesn't have a right wing as in western standards. It's more like old vs new.

Vijay, your insight into world affairs is inspiring. Could listen to u all day.
Vijay should be well known every where bc his truths are so wonderfully rational and beyond doubt
Dr Prashad, we in the Global South love you!
VJ doesn't consider the US evil. There are MANY who do. Backed by Facts. Proven throughout history. 🎯
I know which side I stand on - the right side. It's pretty obvious to me.
He did not outright say the US is evil but from his frequent criticisms, he has clearly shown the way. While I am against US foreign policies, they r not the only country engaged in evil as those countries supporting it r just the same.
It's just that the US bcos of its financial n military power has a greater capacity to do more evil.
He explained the theological concept of evil as coming from the Abrahamic religions. It's a deep philosophical issue and I'm glad he sees things the way he does. So do I.
Categorising things as "good" and "evil"; "black" and "white"; you are either with us or against us etc is just so West-minded. It leads to nothing but disharmony and wars.
Lets all try to build a more conciliatory approach as China appears to be doing and lets aim for win-win rather than win-lose because "good" and "evil" just leads to the latter.
China and Russia are the devil 👿
@@myla6135 China is the devil 👿
@@yaoliang1580 I realised after watching china’s behaviour once it became powerful, US behaved in much better way than many other countries would have if they were sole superpowers
Great intellectual. Liked "I believe in contradictions not in evil and good". Very learned man.
And that is the way Buddhists like to phrase it too. The Buddha spoke about " avidya" or ignorance bringing about human misery and suffering. Ignorance leads to contradictions and contradiction to conflicts.
Very wise to not think in terms of good and evil, but contradictions.
Evil is a good word. Do not be seduced by Buddhist thought on this one. It is lame.
Vijay Prashad is the voice for the underdog , intellectual and historian par excellence and awesome humanist. He'll go down in history as one of the bestest ever. 🙏 💘 ❤
The idea that people in the US are free is just a mystery.
China led the developing countries see that there is hope, an alternative that will allow them to finally develop & progress at reasonable costs and won't be trapped by Petrol-Dollar coercion.
Or IMF debt
Yes, when they could not pay, China forgave loans to 23 countries.
China lead? Lol, it is India the voice of global south, china is not so different than USA, do not make Indias enemy china as leader, they may be your mammas leader
@@VINNUSAURUS You live in a mystical lalaland.
@@KrazeDiamond why, because it was india who was supplying vaccines to global South for Free? Because the global South was asking India to help them to make China negotiate on their loans? Because India was their voice in the World Trade Organization ? Because India represents them in G20 ? China is a filthy country which made the global south debt ridden and india is helping them without even giving them loans and investing in them instead. China and Chinese puppets live in lalaland
Great comments and advise Vijay!!!
He's dishonest.
One of the most informed voices I've heard in a long time. I like this Vijay guy and his analyses - will look for some of his books.

as good or evil. History records the good or evil that people do.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE
Is it possible that the developing countries slow rise is more sustainable since most of them didn't have the opportunities to exploit other countries resources on such a large scale as the main economies in the collective west, and therefore must to larger extent depend on creative solutions/ fundamental internal development (in my humble opinion). I sincerely hope that this realignment that is occurring in the world - the multipolar movement, creates due incentive for the still unstable regions to withstand the pull from the now existing poles, so that they might become yet another pillar for stability and discourage in their turn others from radical moves (I mean we all should consider the possibility of more radical and confrontational leaders in the future in Russia/China/India for example. Especially if this confrontation is prolonged over several generations and/or escalates) in my humble opinion 🙂
The main problem is quite a few of those 3rd world leaders are very corrupt and incompetent, the Philippines is just a shining example
You're just going to get Armageddon ☢️
I was expecting you will mention Eritrea, because as soon as Eritrea separated from Ethiopia, the US came to the newly formed Government and said they want to lay the country’s policy. Eritrea said No, I know what my people want, so …. Since then Eritrea’s been sanctioned for over 25 years. No import, no export. USA’s catalyst was TPLF( Ethiopia ruling party at the time of Eritrea’s independence)
Eritrea is a big fan of Viladmir Putin.
TPLF was doing USA’s dirty game to Eritrea
Very informative and enlightening! Thank you so much 💓
Does the West realize that 50% of the worlds middle class consumer comes from two countries China and India fueling the worldwide business and e-commerce . and the US thinks sitting on the other side of the Atlantic can threaten the 50% of the world population on the other side of the world ?? The sooner they realize the better for them else US will feel like a castaway surviving on banana leaves and coconut water 😅
india is not a middle class country yet. Its middle class pop is approx 70m pple vs 700m + in China
Long live and good luck, Vijay.
that whole garden thing by Borell will echo throughout history like the let them eat cake quote
Nope WW3 is coming ☢️
Thanks for inviting Vijay Prashad
Great discussion
US military industrial complex installs an ally, makes them a monster and goes to war. This cycle continues like clockwork.
Yup.
It's an age-old technique, called "the ally/proxy/favorite", all "extensions" of the own system.
"The Force" to influence billions of minds is strategy. The most effective of these is the divide and rule/conquer technique. It is also the most misunderstood of all strategies, usually and falsely associated with Nazis, bullies and other evil regimes: WRONG.
*It is simply a technique used to effect the highest own potential systemic gain with the least own imput, by dividing any potential opposition, mostly via the cheap trick of appealing to people's emotions and biases. Once systemic dependecies have been created, on multiple tiers, these must come to the "divider" for "a ruling".*
Every system which does not specifically forbid ze divide and rule/conquer technique, will systematically enable it.
No human system is immune to it, and neither are democracies, or our revered capitalism, or any form of "meritocracy".
One of the core techniques of the divide and rule/conquer strategy is *favoratism:* it is really simple, but no system of power which ever made it to the top, will ever admit how simple it is.
Most power players who discover the simplicity of the technique, will try to disguise it and misuse it for own gain, rather than to expose it for what it is: a means of deception, which once exposed and widely-known, will unravel the power it holds over billions of minds. *Power players on all tiers of reciprocal human interaction with an intent of gain motive can never admit that they use ze technique themselves, nor can they accuse others directly of employing it, because they all employ it, either directly, or indirectly via proxies.* Therefore *you* as a commoner will hardly ever hear it being discussed and repeated like the proverbial "mantra": it occupies a lowly existence in intellectual debates, even though it is the key to true power. Like the Nazis, all power players regardless of the "system of gain" in question, come up with all kinds of subterfuge to avoid being immediately exposed as playing the game of divide and rule themselves...
Enter any hierarchical system of power in any intent of gain model of reciprocal human interaction, and you'll enter a shark tank.
*The favorite = the proxy.*
Scale it up or down to whichever tier you wish.
*All that is needed is a position of superior power.*
The Big Lie is the power of the divide and rule/conquer technique, and even the Nazis hid their "Big Lie"-conspiracy theory, behind an even bigger lie: how they intended to play this game until they got into power after their failed coup d'etat.
The "Big Lie" is not a myth but a misrepresentation of the truth.
*It is the power of "divide and rule/conquer" which lurks behind every strategy they follow, in order to gain.*
No human being has ever come up with a means to overcome this age-old technique of ruling over billions of people, because it is predicated on human nature itself, which is enduring.
No power player wants to become associated with authoritarian, or "colonial" tactics and strategies, or Nazis, so they cannot use it as a political means to attack rivals: it will immediately result in blowback.
*The "Big Lie" conspiracy masked the divide and rule technique.*
No power player can ever accuse any other power player of using it, since it will immediately backfire: the accusation of using the technique themselves, which in most cases of intent of gain will even apply***. The disguise usually comes in the form of scapegoating or another form of appeal to the emotion of listeners, or addressing and fortifying their already existing biases.
*"Scapegoating" = an appeal to lower emotions of potential supporters.*
In our divided societies, appealing to these biases might always be that tiny little "weight" that tilts the scale in very tightly run political elections.
Most power players read books on strategy, with the intention of using these strategies for personal gain, not because they wish to benefit *you* (the individual).
There is always the urge to defend own favored systems, when one reads perceived "attacks" on these favored systems or own heroes, and the beloved own "-isms", which also reveal standard procedures, meaning the "attacker" soon falls into predetermined pathways to deflect and obfuscate from the core theory...
Footnotes:
***only applies in competitive "intent of gain" systems, *not* benevolent forms of reciprocal human interaction which are 100% fair...
You are with me or against me. This in itself is evil.
China and Russia are evil
Putin wanted there to atleast 2 different sides.. Through the distasteful horrible reputation of US actions they created a 3rd side.
Quoting ex US president bush "If you are not with us, you are an enemy".. well then with russia side having 2 super powers and India side having a soon to be super power.
US stuck with its self as a Super power, yet they act as if they are a tyrannical king. They must watch their step, for stepping on someone's toe is disasterous for US.
He is the smartest and honest indian
Great insight from vijay
What makes them 1st world & us a 3rd World? That mentality is not only disrespectful but also an injustice. It must end
Brave words we need the Hegemony to accept it’s decline in the wold .
Vishay always comes in with intelligent, intuitive, sensitive and insightful facts and truths regarding the world. Always a pleasure hearing from him👏👏👏👏
I've been saying this for years and I'm an American
Dr. Prashant, Mr. Lottaz what extraordinary analysis! Well put, truth 101 and definitely agreeable for us in Southern Africa, especially myself here in Namibia. Kudos!!
Glad this speaks to you! I keep wondering how to slap the collective west awake to the fact that there are so so so so many ppl who just don‘t agree with them. We need more voices from Namibia and other African countries in global politics!
DR. VIJAY PRASHAD 👍❤👍
Brilliant discussion. Authentic, neutral, from the heart.
I missed references to the firm, balanced role India is playing in the global geo - politics in the last few years under Modi Govt.
the Western colonial imperial powers are not going to loosen their grip on the world as their power slips away.
as their dominance, control and hegemony weakens, expect their belligerence, violence arrogance and hubris to increase.
We're going to end it all ☢️
Definitely. The end of western bullies
Things have just started.
As always I agree with many things that Vijay says and every now and then I learn something from his talks/statements. For example I had no idea that Japan was buying/still buying oil or gas from Russia.
However a few things apropos good and evil which you said you don't care for:
-Pinpointing what is good or evil could become difficult but that does not mean that the concept is wrong.
-Just because there is a grey color doesn't mean that black and white doesn't exist. In fact light grey compared to dark grey is brighter. Another word relativity applies to good and evil and various degree of it.
-Yes as you said anyone can call whatever they wish good and those who are against him/her evil and yes too many irresponsible and careless people do just that but that doesn't prove that good and evil does not exist.
-Obviously you care for what is good and what is right otherwise you would laser focus on making money instead of doing what you are doing.
The lines between good n evil is clearly defined, the majority of the world's leaders tend to tilt towards various degree of evil for their personal gains without caring for the long term consequences of their bad decisions on their own nations n people.
The phillipines is just a shining example
While he did not say outright that the US is evil but his frequent criticisms has clearly shown the way.
Anyway the US is not the only country engaged in evil as those countries supporting it r just the same.
It's just that the US bcos of its financial n military power has a greater capacity to do more evil

@@meow14115 Two things:
1-Tiger is not a human.
2-Have you heard of the story of the elephant in the dark and those around the elephant try to explain based on touching different parts of the elephant what it is they are touching.
Well the moral of that story is, if you don't look at the big picture or unwilling to see the broader picture, then your explanation and understanding will also become limited.
I just say this killing as dramatic as it is, is not necessary related with good and evil. The food chain is part of living. Even when cows eat grass or plants that is still killing. Good and Evil has nothing to do with the cycle of life.
Last but not least some people seek answers in ways without politeness as opposed to having good manners, for example, by using words such as please and thank you, this indicates lack of maturity and thoughtfulness.
Well said
Certainly when someone come to "kill, steal and destroy" the perpetrator has to stake his stance as "good" as against "evil" with a cooked-up and out of this world justification!
