"We do not believe that the right to vote every few years is in itself democracy.It is one of the cornerstones of a democratic process but no body has a democratic experience when the core decision of significance in there lives is choosing between the platforms presented by two political parties. That's not democracy, that's voting between two platforms once in four years...and hoping to god that you can understand the diffrence between the two platforms in the first place." Epic.
Michael was way ahead of his time, but I would not say that the masses were exactly stupid. Not many societies which would have included that of the Jamaican society, could withstand the onslaught of the might of the USA and their direct intervention in the political and social struture by their Intelligence Organisation "The CIA".

all i can say is ho my god what a wonderful man and yes way ahead of is time .i must say if you put michael manley with the rest of the leader's today just to size them up they could not touch him morally or other wise ok he is with out a doubt jamaica's best leader ever hands down and all leaders around the world should take a page out of is book a champion of the people a master speaker and all jamaican should be proud of him and have a picture of him in there house he is beautiful .
jews are crypto communists. They invented communism. They where behind the communist movements in Europe and USA. They where behind the bolshevik revolution in Russia 1917.
Michael Manley was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of his time. the masses were just too stupid to understand his ideas. And yes, jamaica's destruction can be directly attributed to the CIA. and finally Michael Manley is the standard of eloquence. just listening to him is like listening to good music.
the description of democratic socialism as explained in this interview is such a intelligent way for a nation to run , america has destroyed its soul by going for profit at any cost ,having people commiting suicide to keep their homes out of foreclosure because of the fallout of predatory lending that caused a recession , which in a socially directed economy , where the people come before the almighty dollar, would have never happened , the idea of having a moral economic structure is refreshing
was anyone able to pick a coherent set of policy programme from these very flowery pronouncements? He is extremely silver tongued but this guy was spitting nothing but socialist rhetoric that was in vogue at the time of speaking. He is very eloquent but...what the hell is/was he talking about?
@kamahmans If you don't even understand what this guy is saying, why are you here commenting on it? Educate yourself first.. then waste your time typing.
@yourmanwatson I am actually quite well educated sir. I listened to this clip and based on certain gaps in my understanding, I asked a question. Personally, that is how I have gone about educating myself throughout my entire life. Fortunately for me I came across more people like rhyonrhyon (below) and less people like you.
@kamahmans "He is extremely silver tongued but this guy was spitting nothing but socialist rhetoric that was in vogue at the time of speaking" sounds a little insulting. No? Definitely not the way to get a positive response. Try framing your questions in a different way..
@kamahmans I dont think this interview was intended to tell us detailed policy programmes, remember it is the interviewer that guides the pace of the interview and considering the timing of the interview they probably wanted to have him give the world an overview of the climate of JA and a summary of his motivations and general aims for acheivement
people don't seem to realize that the international system is intended to keep countries like Jamaica at the bottom. This man saw this and tried to build up the country from the bottom up, but people didn't see it that way. Yes debt came but debt isn't cancer, every country has debt.
Michael i bet you're turning in your grave at how your opposing political party JLP is royally f$#king our country in the rear with there disastrous capitalist ideals.
Manley has not done anyting fantastic if he did have not seen evidence of it. Born in Jamaica early 1976 left April that year at two months. It was so bad then formula for me could not be purchased in Jamaica but on the Black Market in Cuba. Since then it has rapidly declined. Glad it is a birth place to me but glad have not much to do with it. Beautiful but scarred.
@starlight76able Under the direction of the CIA warehouses of food were held back from the Jamaican public as to starve the population into opposition of michael manley. you can blame him for someone else attacking but that is only avoiding your real enemy.
This guy is a legend. Fuck the CIA.

Manley was the most charismatic. articulated & intelligent PM Jamaica ever had.
Todays B. Golding looks like a donkey in comparison to him.
