    In conversation with Prof. Anna Zalik from York University.

      Not just that his lazy analysis of the obsolete right left debate reminds me of Imran khan’ s
      Rants at the U.N.

    He is schooling her, sounds like she is trying to push 'identity politics' bullshit. While missing the big picture, diving people up on single issues is a terrible strategy. You can ignore class like she was trying to imply.

      Identity politics are important, people have different needs and interests. But they (identity) don't need to subsume, all of a progressive left movement. There just need to be ways to look at all issues, as being connected, and develop a more holistic approach to looking at the struggle for freedom and justice.

    Tariq Ali should have been deported from the UK years ago. We talk of all the good immigrants do in our society in Britain. This guy has been has been hell-bent on smashing Britain ever since he stepped foot in our country. He's a disgrace to his religion and to the human race. Thank God nobody in the UK takes any notice of him any more.

      lmao shut the fuck up. Tariq has openly talked about the deep-rooted corruption and dirtiness of Pakistani politics, it is obvious. Pakistan does NOT influence the world the way America does. What is shameless is you, and your statement.
