Just to note that Tariq Ali was rather cavalier, disappointing, with respect to the dangers of a nuclear confrontation/war, and sanguine (bad word) with respect to war in general. He made just a mention about Korea, nothing that I can recall regarding Syria/Palestine-Israel
or Iran. The words war/militarism were downplayed or not mentioned in his presentation.

</div>
<div class="">He knocked Putin, but allowed his adroitness in foreign policy, was pessimistic about South America, compared Norway’s use of oil wealth to Venezuala’s (albeit the situations between the two are/were radically different). <br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Perhaps there wasn't enough time to go into all of that. He was mostly interested in the nature of revolutions, past and present. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It was an impressive presentation, nonetheless. </div>

<div class="">I couldn’t hear well much of what he said…</div>

<div class="">Ali's analysis of the Russian Revolution diverges from Chomsky in that Chomsky argues that the April Theses were public relations, was as Ali sees them in a more authentic light.</div>

<div class="">Ali called Trump a "shithole" for what it's worth (although mainly for laughs), cutting him no slack as Caitlin Johnstone is inclined to do. That is, no analysis of populism/nationalism in any positive sense from Ali.</div>
