Socialists are students of history. Gilly is a student of Guyanese history and world history. I would be dishonest to assert that Guyana's Golden Age occurred during the past 67 years, ie during my lifetime. I lived only 15 years under colonialism, from 1951 to 1966. Nothing golden there. I read intensively and extensively every day and derive my knowledge & opinions therefrom.
Gilly, these socialists who yuh seh are students of history should have learnt by now that dis "socialism" ting doan wuk. Stop trying it! It bruk up plenty countries!

Thanks for your advice, brother (no comrade?!).

Socialism has variants. One size doesn't fit all. I tried the pro-Soviet Stalinist variant favoured by comrade Cheddi but that didn't work. I'm on another variant now. As a poor former wage earner now pensioner, I cannot support capitalism which puts profits at the expense of workers.
