We live in a Corporotocracy. He’s absolutely right there is no economic democracy.

Thank you brother George Galloway, all the best blessings to you and yours.

I'm a little embarrassed for Kathleen as she reveals during the discussion that she doesn't understand domestic politics, and resorts to cliched cartoon characterizations of both Obama and Trump. That's what happens when you go from grassroots revolutionist to Yale-educated establishment person, who likely reads only propaganda rags for her news, such as The New York Times and The Atlantic.

"Two cheeks of the same ARRRSCH." - best description of Democrat and Republican parties.

I do like George, and I think he's largely correct about geopolitical realities: the US and their allies - or vassals, as some no doubt are - dominate the rest of the world, through the use of the financial system they set up, and through the threat and/or use of force, and this has been the case since WW2. I'd like to point out that that "Syrian refugee" story was taken by the corporate press and social media platforms and *amplified*. That should ring alarm bells for the discerning observer. To take the story on face value and wring your hands about "racism" being such a problem is exactly the behaviour the corporate press wilfully promote - just as the George Floyd story was injected even into UK news, to tell the people all about the systemic racism that pervades our societies. It is a distraction, the whole "culture war" is a distraction, so that the little guys like us get animated about school yard spats and drug-addled criminals instead of focusing our attention on the genuinely corrupt system we're all obliged to live within. I've heard the headteacher, and other teachers at that school, calling out the Syrian refugee boy as a troublesome bully; that he'd previously stabbed a pupil with a compass, been found carrying a knife and a screwdriver, and had no respect for staff, especially female staff. Many didn't want to make a statement, for fear of being called - you guessed it - a racist. Whether these accounts of a (lone) Syrian refugee boy are more accurate than the stories that were circulated by mainstream media - and I think they are - is the minor point. The major point is that people are still far too credulous of what appears in mainstream media, being led by the nose to the talking points of the day by the megaphones of the establishment. Meanwhile, the wars go on, and the rich establishment maintain their wealth and power.

Kathleen Cleaver's talk was extraordinary. What a fascinating bit of history she witnessed and participated in. Thank you for posting this.

I lived in oakland in 1967. The black panthers never were what you say. We used to have parties 10 years later 4 blocks away on 7th St and bought beer at their grocery store. They just wanted their own red line the police wouldn't cross. They wanted to own the local safety net and enforcement for local 25 houses. Sitting on the porch with a shotgun scared people, Well dressed and strong looked like militants. Good people 1977-82, Scumbags hid like cockroaches. because the people wouldn't put up with shitheads. That's how you fix dangerous places

Some good points here but after 3 years of knowledge gained.. I disagree with some of it, and recognize it now as rhetoric ...

It's hierarchy and it's pathologies.

So George Galloway thinks that Anarchists are, "without theory to guide them", (1:40:06), despite the theory AND practice, of being, (from the Greek), "An", meaning without, and "Archos", meaning rulers or rulership.
He also failed to understand that wiping his own arse, every time he has a crap, he and lots of other people are part of the movement by which they and all Anarchists accept personal responsibility, and are thereby able to learn how to do it efficiently, as with everything else they do.
Being without rulers and rulership, is nothing to do with being without rules though.
That's demonstrated every time people co-operate against rulers share respect for each other.
That's something which lackys for Authoritarians might benefit from.

The moderator, Ms. Dennis, is so bloody rude --- she is turned away from Kathleen while she is speaking, and clearly not paying attention. Bush league behavior.

I listen to many think tank-like organizations but I have seen very little effect from those organizations just a lot of talk and very little, it can be shortened, but there are too many opinions and has become very confusing one thing. However, the Socialist/Marxist ideologies have produced one thing, and that is over 100 million innocent deaths.

The subtitles are rather misleading, using 'effect' instead of 'affect', depite the title of the event.

Worthy of Tony Benn, Robin Cook
