From: "Frederick \"FN\" Noronha" <[email protected]>
I expect more from individuals like Dr Santosh Helecar, whose recent
priorities seem to have included jumping to the rescue of the VHPA
Inc-linked Sonal Shah, to seek to discredit John Dayal and Vijay
Prashad, to question activists and campaigners, to proffer lengthy
arguments that deny the possibility of a polarisation along communal
lines specially in Goa, et al...
Mario responds:
Fred,
Wouldn't you be far more productive, not to mention, honest, if you trained
your sights on Narendra Modi and the VHP instead of continuing to slander an
American woman whose only connection to the VHP is that she raised funds in the
US for earthquake victims in Gujarat.
Furthermore, you continue to discredit John Dayal by mentioning him in the same
sentence as Vijay Prashad. Unlike Dayal, who can only be accused of bias,
Vijay Prashad is one of the most hard working termites in the foundations of
the capitalist system that sustains the economies of the free world, provides
virtually all the considerable private charitable donations in the free world,
and sustains his own profession and position at an American university. This
guy feeds on the very system that he seeks to discredit and destroy.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia that sums up how cockeyed this guy's thinking is:
"Prashad offered a communist view of Mother Teresa's missionary work in
Calcutta, designating her as a representative of the collective 'bourgeois
guilt' of western nations. In the same article he also commented on Mother
Teresa's alleged links with Charles Keating and Michele Duvalier (wife of Baby
Doc Duvalier). Denouncing the 'cruel rule of capital' he also offered the view
that the communists of Calcutta were the 'real nameless Mother Teresas who
conduct the necessary work towards socialism, for the elimination of poverty
forever'."
If communism was so successful in eliminating poverty, more countries would be
adopting it, rather than relegating it to the thrash heap of history, where it
really belongs, after all the untold misery it has caused already.
"A communist is someone who reads Marx. An anti-communist is someone who
understands Marx" - Ronald Reagan.
