Big Moe fan account the world definitely must know about their freedom fighters. ruclips.net/video/HE0XsqnSOLM/видео.html here’s a link to some history of MY father, Lloyd Rodney, activist, lawyer, father and pastor.
I know you meant well but putting a date on it says that it has an ending The narcissist would take that as even until 2021 so that means it was supposed to have ended earlier so it ended in 2021 now we can go back to doing the things we used to do to them some people are very slow like that and I talk to many people it's because of war lead nuclear radiation exposure to life-threatening elements in general their people have no direction every problem that they have they shoot it and make it go away that is the logic that they are dealing with
around 50 minutes in, rodney refers to a negotiation between anwar sadat and french/austrian leaders about exporting nuclear waste to egypt, which he said he read in an article 3 weeks ago. that should place the date of this lecture around 1978
Yes indeed, this man was along the few great men I heard of as a child; of course we'vr learnt a lot more about our greatness as we grow, yet such a man who was marked for death beforehand, and still what happened over the course of time Babylon couldn't stop the Jim Jones massacre in its inception, but they found favour in killing an entity who came with purpose.... Real revolutionaries!
Great historian one who saw all the problems in Africa and the Caribbean would have loved to see his solutions via his new political party The Working People Alliance of Guyana. Gone too soon.
I was 15 years old when he was murdered. I remember my Mom saying there will be trouble because there was shock and a silence. I told my neighbour the same thing and she said, Peter nothing will happen, they will march. bury him and that will be that. She was right, Walter gave his life for a lost cause, a futile effort to bring change to Guyana. He died in vain.
He did not die in vain.He was a light in this world and did a phenomenal job for the short amount of time that he was here. He fulfilled his life's purpose.
He was working far beyond Guyana ,a true global African thinker and unifier. The fact that we're still finding inspiration in this lecture decades later indicates great impact . It's an insult to say that his work and even his early death were futile when we're still listening to him
Within the context that it changed nothing and also, his murderer was never tried and convicted. I knew Gregory Smith's father, when the aircraft landed with him, I was there. Remember this name, Kwakwani.@@MegaDiva1999
brilliant breakdown of current developments of the day using the laws of historical materialism as the framework to present the analysis. regarding the assertion of Seku Ture and Nkrumah imposing petit bourgeois ideologies on the working class due to these Presidents' own class background, there is strong disagreement. Rodney himself in this very speech identifies himself as "located within the [petit bourgeois] class" - despite this, his entire life's work has been dedicated to advancing People's class and working class ideological development for the enthronement of a mass civilization and for the defeat of elite civilization. Ture and the PDG had some of the most robust ideological, political, and organizational structures and organs for mass revolutionary participatory democracy and mass construction of scientific socialism in the history of world revolutionary struggle. African mass culture as represented by the village - constituted the nucleus out of which the PDG's most basic models of political governance were based. It appears Rodney, by taking this position, is denying the very laws of dialectics that his entire speech is anchored by. Being an adept in materialist dialectics, Rodney must know that a thing is capable of producing its opposite through the process of inherent contradiction / dialectical tension. In the same human being we find the capacity for selfishness as well as altruism, the seeds for socialism are to be found in the contradictions inherent in capitalism, and yes, although the majority of the national liberation leadership of Africa and the Caribbean (and everywhere in the world), have objectively petit bourgeois socio-economic backgrounds, a segment of this group transcended their class origins through a rigorous ideological transformation, and became the genuine leadership and authentic embodiment, of the will and aspirations of the oppressed, exploited, and downtrodden masses. We should all continue to study and learn from the boundless brilliance of Brother-Comrade Walter Rodney. On this point, however, I will have to respectfully disagree. Forward to Pan-Africanism! One Unified, Socialist Africa.
He gave him praise and do you know what book it was that Nkrumah read that inspired him to take back his country ? Also do you know who Nkrumah's teacher was that taught him while he was in the United States that inspired him to read that book ?
51:14 I was just thinking the only thing that makes a picture turn black like that is nuclear waste a nuclear background they are in nuclear waste as they are making this show that is why the feeling decayed back in the day with film like that there would be spots all over the film different types of bombs and different types of waste to different things to film that's probably why we have digital cameras now to block out that unpleasant background lighting

"How Europe underdeveloped Africa"........ his book
His legacy is pride........ rest well
Wow. Amazing man. He accomplished so much in his short journey on this earth.
It would be hard not to say that
Walter Rodney was not our very best
Social political scientific prophet.
Give thanks for this video. 🙏🏽

He was a great man. a public figure in Guyana and Jamaica.
Guyanese
Yes he was Guyanese but he want to the university in Jamaica
And across the continent especially Tanzania
The garbled parts are important critical points that are still valid today. I hope that they can be recovered.
Walter Rodney was a gem. This is a powerful lecture. 🔥🔥
His discussion of Structural Adjustment policies presented by the IMF and it's effects on Egypt,Peru and Caribbean countries is not revisited enough.
An excellent speech from a great teacher!
Keep it burning bro u unravels the puzzle United we stand divided shall fall Africa bound to b free...
