Billy Ram Balgobin posted:When you people speak of Hoyte and economic reforms you are making it sound like he was the one who invented the free enterprise system. Contrary to what many you hold as gospel of the PNC leader the nation socialist transformation in the seventies was planned and orchestrated by Desmond Hoyte. He was a passionate socialist like Burnham.
And of course we have Janet and Cheddi, card carrying Marxist Leninists, who had orgasms of glee when Burnham abandoned his left of center ideology and moved aggressively to control the "commanding heights of the economy".
Why do you like to forget this fact? Or the fact that, while Cheddi condemned the USA in Vietnam, he became as giddy has a cheer leader in front of the captain of the football team when USSR invaded Afghanistan.
Hoyte saw the error of this and moved to change. Lucky he did because in 2000 the PPP was still calling itself a Marxist Leninist party. Thank God they came to power after the Hoyte reforms, and so couldn't implement their plan. Had Burnham lived long enough to have set up that unity government with Jagan, and then Jagan succeeded him as president Guyana would have instantly become another Cuba.
