Furthermore, I remind you that in the time of Cheddi and Janet Jagan going into politics and the formation of the PPP, the anti-colonial struggle was underway
Yet within the English speaking Caribbean it was the Jagans who most loudly screamed Marxist Leninism with a doctrinaire ideological alliance with the USSR. Norman Manley, Eric Williams and Errol Barrow, all also involved in the anti colonial struggle, didn't embrace Marxist Leninism. It is to be noted that tiny Barbados with nothing, has an economy many times the size of Guyana's.
They loudly condemned US intervention in Vietnam but said NOTHING about intervention by the USSR in Afghanistan.
