Rodney was an obstacle to PPP/PNC one-party dictatorship

More horsehit from the PNC apologist.  Since when does Malcolm Haripaul opinion matter and is fair and independent.  He hustling for a back bench in the PNC 24 after 2016.

Hustle, hustle.

Haripaul is an opportunist just like all the other Krulli who runing to the PNC today.

Just because Jagan did not allow his corrupt ways, he crying sour grapes now.

Well he should have stayed since he and Jagdehoe would have been good bed fellows, corrupt alike.

Mr Malcolm Harripaul is writing historical facts to help we young people understand the issues.

MR HARRIPAUL COMMENT on Stabroek News:

Attention all paid PPP Bloggers! Please respond to the following:

In mid1970’s the Cuban Communist Party ordered the PPP to merge with PNC. Cheddi Jagan, cognizant of Indians’ cry of betrayal, instead adopted “critical support” for Burnham’s PNC. Almost all the Marxist cadres of the PPP,led by Rani Chandisingh, defected tothe PNC in 1975.

In1977, when Burnham was under pressure from the WPA, the PPP proposed a National Front Government with the PNC.

In1979 the PPP proposed a National Patriotic Front Government with the PNC.

In1980 the PPP betrayed a group of men on the West Demerara causing the PNC to arrest and charge them.

In 1979 the PPP ordered its members and supporters not to cooperate with the WPA, not to attend WPA meetings, and not to march with the WPA.

Soon after Walter Rodney was assassinated on Fri13thJune 1980, the Jaganites and the Burnhamites commenced secret power sharing talks.

I like Malcolm.  But he has got to remember that those were the cold war days.  The Cuban government wanted a united left in Guyana.  This was because they felt that the fight between left wing parties in Guyana was eventually self defeating for all on the political left.  Also, at the same time, all around the world the right was uniting.  For example, people like Nixon were buddies and meeting with Francisco Franco who only a few decades ago was being supported by Nazi Germany. 

The mere fact that the PPP hung tight to the Cuban communist party, which brutally crushed all of its opponents, shows how hypocritical they are.

A PPP in power would have been no more democratic than the PNC was, and as we can see the PPP doesn't hold elections if they aren't sure of the results.  2011 was a shock to their system, and subsequent events scare them even more.

Me mamoo keep saying the same thing all the time. 

The PPP was a member of the Socialist International (the Warsaw Pact countries, Cuba, Guyana and a couple other communist parties).

I do not think the PNC was a member o that group and its fraternal relations with China and North Korea (on the other side of the Soviet-led Communists) bear this out.

The WPA was a South-south nationalist leftist movement with no affiliation to the socialist (2nd world - the first world being the Western capitalist democracies). So it adopted a more of a South-South underdevelopment position with links to the African and post-independence Latin American.

The PNC tried to buy in to that club with Burnham's Non-Alignment push, but it basially did not have a proper ideological home and was basically autocratic.

This crop of PPP is oligarchic.

The history of Guyana is an orgy of leftist thinking by the rulers. The majority of the country did not buy into that and instead race was the differentiator. The rightist D'Aiguar and Balram Singh Rai and others were peripheral players. The populace migrated and turned to an underground economy. Guyana is heading nowhere meantime and the Diaspora folks that loiters on this Board come with their sanctimonious sentiments and knowledge of what's right.

The issue is racial mistrust, pure and simple. Make that disappear and then differences in policy and self-interest will become the norm. I see Guyana remaining a cesspool for socialist thinking wrapped in an oligarchic behavior. We will not have parties with a democratic structure and free enterprise thinking will remain at the mercantilist level - buy low and sell high and the hell with industrial enterprise.

Not so, Kari. The PPP was a member of the International Movement of Communist and Workers' Parties, with HQ in the former Soviet Union. That movement was a collection chiefly of communist and self-styled Marxist-Leninist Parties.

On the other hand, the Socialist International comprised social democratic and labor parties, the so-called moderate left or reformists. Its HQ is in the UK. The SI is still functioning and doesn't admit communist/M-L parties into its fold.

Thanks for the correction Gilly. Whatever name they go by you know what I mean - the club of communist parties, that for instance invite 5 members annually for R & R in the Baku region of the USSR.

The point I'm trying to make is that all the leftist animals in Guyana had differe3nt stripes that make them unnatural partners, and thus they co-existed uneasily in Guyana. The PPP, PNC and WPA were all different leftist groups. However underlying the first two was an autocratic or oligarchic nature. I don't know Rodney well other than he was a pan-Africanist. I was out of Guyana when he was surging. He might have been similar to Maurice Bishop of Grenada.

Nothing can justify the denial of democracy and human rights in Guyana during the Burnham/Hoyte years. Whites in South Africa used the same anti-communist arguments against Mandela and the ANC to justify apartheid. Anti-PPP forces in Guyana keep using the same ammunitions against the PPP because they think it still has propaganda value. It does not.

Close Friend of Dr Walter Rodney and co – Founder of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) Eusi Kwayana has joined preceding witnesses at the ongoing Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry (COI), professing that the then Government – the People’s National Congress (PNC) – was involved in the late Politician and Historian’s death.

As I said I am the doer, GOD is the decider, the decision maker.

My job is to fight crooked people like the crooked PNC who rigged elections and paint them selves with white wash, rename themselves APNU, throw in two krulli like Roopnarine and TK for window dressing and are baptised as born again Christians.

Well you know Lord Krishna soldiers like me and Arujuna ready fuh these RAVANS.
