There are many who will be voting in 2020 who don't know him.  I would like to see them do away with the list of Candidates and go back to constituents and local authorities for the villages and districts like the way it was in the 60's and coalition after the general elections.

With the increasing demand for gluten free foods, rice-flour can be a great choice. It's high in fibre and  may even protect the liver. It may lower blood cholesterol and keep blood sugar levels in check. Research is showing that it may even help minimize the risk of diverticular / colon disease, type-2 diabetes and hypertension. The rice maar contains choline.

This man should be given a Doctorate.

Seems like lots of foods that Burnham denied Guyanese are actually good for our health. Trouble is that that did not seem to be his objective. Just like how a bank robber killing his accomplice while taking a shot at a police officer isn't heralded a hero, Burnham doesn't get credit for those now determined health benefits.

Back in Burnham days I could never understand how so many black people you run into was ready to chew your head off to defend his policies. They would put a twist on everything that they cannot defend to blame imperialist, opposition, America and everyone else. Today I am experience the other side - the coolies who would chew you ass to defend Jagdeo screw ups. I even get chew up from one of my own family trying to explain Jagdeo salary vs his assets accumulated during his rule dosnt jibe, he told me 'shut yuh rass, he wuk fuh da'

Maybe your relative's life/livelihood wasn't/isn't affected/depended on Jagdeo's actions like how so many deprived blacks were affected/depended by Burnham's actions. People don't generally lose sleep over what others do unless it affects them personally. In the political arena, people use the words/actions of politicians to advance their own ambitions. Look for instance how the AFC made all those promises to the people they accused the PPP government of abusing. Then they got into government and promptly proceeded to fill their own pockets completely forgetting those people they promised to look out for. Remember the promise to rice farmers? What about the salary raises they were going to give all Guyanese? What about not doing anything that even had an apparent conflict with good governance and integrity? See, I come here for entertainment. I really don't give a shit about Guyana. I sincerely don't think Guyana has anyone who is or will enter politics who is not in it for his own interest. And even if you forget about politics, Guyana has scoundrels in all walks of life who will have no qualms taking advantage of another weaker than them. People in Guyana rob and cheat others every day and lose no sleep over it.

Well said brother Kaz, Sachin is drank too much AFC could aid.

THE MAN ON HORSEBACK

There used to be a running joke about the late President of Guyana, Forbes Burnham and horseback riding. This was before the joke turned to reality in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
The joke stemmed from a gift of three horses which Burnham was said to have received on a trip to the United Kingdom after he became Prime Minister.
When he later visited the United States, it was said that the then President Lyndon Johnson presented him with a saddle, and the joke was that Burnham was told to go and ride the Guyanese people. Both countries of course knew that Burnham loved horseback riding and they feted his desire.
The joke about Burnham and horseback riding became a painful reality when Forbes Burnham devastated the economy of his country and left people who once enjoyed a comfortable living in dire deprivation while he went off on overseas trips with plane loads of officials.
But the lasting image of Forbes Burnham for many remains a leader who loved to ride around on horseback while his people suffered.
Those who still idolize Forbes Burnham wish to get rid of the image of the late dictator as a man who rode about on horseback looking down on his people. They wish to disabuse the country of the image of Burnham having office workers coerced to work on a plantation which he treated as if it was his own personal property.
Managers of government enterprises were forced to go to Hope Estate on weekends and do work that they would have otherwise consider beneath them. They were forced to literally step into the mud to weed coconut beds and clear drains while the dictator rode around like an overlord belching out orders. It was a most humiliating exercise for these state workers and many wish to remove that terrible memory.
More humiliating was that many of them could not refuse because to do so would be to invite dismissal. Many also went to be able to get to buy food items. It is an experience that is unthinkable these days. But an entire nation had to go through this because this was what the former dictator wanted.
Burnham did not get his feet muddy on the estate. He was high up on his horse. His feet hung over the sides of his horse and made a distinctive sight because of the striking leather riding boots which he loved to wear whilst riding.
But Burnham’s fascination with horseback riding preceded the Hope Estate experience. Burnham was a horseman. Just after he took power in the 1960’s he could be seen every morning riding his horse around the city, often with a bunch of children excitedly running alongside the horses.
Unlike many leaders who come down to the level of the people, Forbes Burnham loved to interact with the people from atop a horseback. He used to go through the city meeting his constituents while riding a horse. He would usually end his ride near to the Georgetown Seawall. So his love for horses dated back to his early days as Prime Minister and did not, as so many feel, develop during his latter years when his socialist experiment brought nothing but ruin to the economy.
When things dipped for the worse, food became short and Burnham responded with yet another of his thoughtless ideas. He decided that people should plant every available piece of land, including the parapets in front of their homes.
Instead of trying to deal with the problems of poor drainage facing farmers, Forbes Burnham decided to make every citizen a farmer. And so he used to go around on horseback every morning, often in the company of a senior police officer who was also a good rider. He used to go around sharing out cassava sticks and urging people to plant the parapets in front of their homes.
Not many took him seriously but from his position looking down on the suffering people, he did not notice the public indifference to his ridiculous idea.
While no one should ever deny that he was an anti-imperialist and was opposed to colonialism in Guyana and elsewhere, Forbes Burnham loved the trappings of monarchial power. He dressed like a colonist, enjoyed their pastimes and according to one political elder, spoke with Churchillian pauses.
And yes he did take Guyana for a good ride.

"Those who still idolize Forbes Burnham"

Like Granger. 

"They wish to disabuse the country of the image of Burnham having office workers coerced to work on a plantation which he treated as if it was his own personal property.

Thankfully not me. I was too ignorant to understand the ramifications of refusing to go to Hope Estate. Every time our boss tells us that we have to go, I would say that I am not waking up early on Sunday to go Hope. Everyone at work knew that I disliked Burnham. He was so wutliss that they would tell us on Saturday that we need to go on Sunday. That son of a bitch was the worst sore on Guyana. I know that he it rotting in hell.

Not always. There were times when he did come down to sell his New Nations newspaper at Kitty market. But even then he was crooked. His paper was sold for 10 cents. In fact it was worth much less. However, if you give him a dollar, he didn't give you back any change. A con man from day one.
