To hell with Robert Fisk

I do have sympathy for Europeans who are feeling estranged in their countries by immigration. But they too must realize that World capitalism is to be blamed. If the world was a place of equal rights, opportunities and justice, no one needs to immigrate, and those who do will do that for a while and return home, except for those who really feel at home elsewhere than in their countries, but this last category will assimilate in any new country anyway and will never be experienced as foreign unless by racists and no one really cares about racists.Only under capitalism people will live in countries they don’t like just because of economical and social reasons, and their children will be born with a grudge for the system that brought their parents where they are and makes their countries of origin unlivable. If faced with discrimination and racism these children will even hate the country they live in.As long as capitalism exists people will go where the system distributes the most, and will escape from places where the system extracts the most. Today the system extracts the most from the south ( oil, natural resources, commodities, cheap labor etc..) and distributes the most in the north. Don’t fight the symptoms, fight the illness. It has a name, Capitalism and some people call it Imperialism, but it is one and the same, the sickness of this world.

I will share with you here few things I have written over the past days in e-mail debates with some friends. They are fragments of thoughts as I just publish my answers because I don’t have the right to publish the whole debate without the permission of the participants..
The issue in Iran now is that the majority voted for Nejad and that this is de facto a pro-system vote. The opposition is claiming that the elections were rigged and so far they couldn’t show any solid evidence of this. Only speculation. The system that the Iranian people chose for their life is their own business, I am not an Iranian but what is clear to me is that this is a velvet revolution aiming at destabilizing another anti-western regime, and as you know I am not part of the people who support these kinds of activities especially when it is lead by a corrupted elite of millionaires like Musavi and Rafsanjani and behind them an army of yuppies.
My sympathy goes to the majority poor rural masses who voted on Nejad. i am not alone in this, Also Chavez has the same analysis, add to that millions of people in the third world. That first world elites sympathies with the velvet revolutionaries is nothing but normal.

هل حصل تلاعب في الانتخابات الايرانية؟ وهل من الضروري أن يتلاعب أحمدي نجاد بالانتخابات لكي يفوز؟ اذا ما صدقنا الدعاية الغربية يبدو أن الإجابة الوحيدة لهذا السؤال هي نعم، وذلك هو ايضا رأي المعسكر الاصلاحي في طهران. وهو معسكر يتشكل من تحالف واسع لقوى متباينة قد تكون تناقضاتها أكبر من نقاط تلاقيها. ولكن لماذا يزور رئيس مثل نجاد الانتخابات وبأي آلية يستطيع فعل ذلك وهو يواجه خصوما لهم من النفوذ والامتداد والمال أضعاف ما يملكه هو
