Drugb posted:Cheddie was a disgrace to Guyana, a commie who caused the Americans to install the PNC and 27 years of destruction ensued. Those who worship Cheddie as though he was a deity are part and parcel to the problems that he caused Guyana. Not sure why slop can boy and some of the slop can crew still worship him.
You have a warped way of looking at this issue by acvusing Jagan of causing the US to instal the pnc dictatorship. It is like blaming the victim who suffered at the hands of the bully for what so ever attributes or excuse the bully use to victimize his of her victim.
Who is viewing Jagan as a god? He was human and made mistakes,. But any of the good books will tell you that it is the intention that counts. In retrospect, we can always say that we should have done this or that instead. Hindsight is 20-20.
i would argue that if you were a supporter of Jagan or the PPP, at any time and your argument holds (which I strongly disagree with) you are part of the problem, that blame should be placed in all who supported him over the years. You are making a wrong assumption that Jagan had total control over all the decisions that were made, that he was the only one responsible. You leave out all the other actors and factors existing at that time, you are unidimensional,in your approach which is poor scholarship and argument.
It is interesting that during his rule, prior tom1964 and after 1992, Jagan did nothing to implement a " communist" agenda in Guyana. His policies in both eras were those implemented in many countries, even in some of the advanced capitalist countries by social democrats. It is interesting that many of the non-aligned nations during that time were propagating the non-capitalist path of economic development until they went into power and faced the intricacies of governing.
