I believe that Indonesia has to first be ruled by some form of a socialist system, before we can even start talking about 'democracy'.

More quotes by Andre Vltchek
Donald Trump is horrendous, but he is also honest. Both Presidents [Bill] Clinton and [Barak] Obama were great speakers, but unrepentant mass murderers.
Andre Vltchek
Chinese people are thoroughly sick of Western imperialism.
Andre Vltchek
Do understand: Chinese people are brilliant the West cannot fool them.
Andre Vltchek
Under Bernie Sanders, Western workers would definitely do much better, but the rest of the world, the wretched of the Earth would still have to pay the bill.
Andre Vltchek
The Chinese government would yield to the pressure from its people: it would be forced to give orders to fight - to defend its motherland!
Andre Vltchek
People in Indonesia are scared of being assaulted, insulted, robbed or raped. Again, it is because they are unprotected. Police and even the legal system are corrupt or/and on the side of the rich. Victims see no justice. How could you not be scared in almost total lawlessness?
Andre Vltchek
[Donald] Trump: he'd probably declare in Hiroshima that he'd nuke half of Asia if it would help the West to retain its control over the world. At least one would not harbor any false hopes.
Andre Vltchek
Now, the Chinese people are outraged and they are sending clear signals to Beijing: do not succumb to the West. If you do, our nation will suffer immensely, and the rest of the world will turn to ashes.
Andre Vltchek
The Western public should learn and remember one essential thing about China: no matter what European and North American propaganda barks about the People's Republic, China is much more democratic than the West. It is democratic in its own way.
Andre Vltchek
Many women are so scared of the society and of their families, that if they get pregnant out of wedlock, they would rather abandon their children-throw them into the gutter, than to confront society. Indonesia has one of the highest child-abandonment rates in the world, but again, most of it goes unreported.
Andre Vltchek
China is one of the greatest cultures on Earth, and it is one of those countries that suffered immensely from colonialist horrors and humiliation.
Andre Vltchek
There is absolutely nothing democratic about the global arrangement through which the West has been ruling over the rest of the world for decades and centuries.
Andre Vltchek
Indonesian people have to regain power, regain control over their own country. And that will never come without a struggle.
Andre Vltchek
People have to be engaged. Enough of nihilism! Enough of emptiness and defeatism! Fighting for a better world is not only the decent thing to do, it is also fun it is meaningful and fulfilling.
Andre Vltchek
The outraged citizens of Indonesia - lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists - should be speaking up they should be shouting. And of course, the voices of farmers and workers, their terrible stories, should be read and heard from the pages of independent magazines and blogs, from YouTube and independent films.
Andre Vltchek
Actually, voting in countries like Indonesia is unpatriotic, as it only legitimizes the regime, which serves foreign political and economic interests, as well as those totally prostituted 'elites'.
Andre Vltchek
Bernie Sanders is like those liberal members of the German National Socialist Party during the WWII, or of the Italian Fascist movement during Mussolini. They'd do much for their own workers and peasants, socially... as long as funds were flowing in from the countries plundered by their imperialism.
Andre Vltchek
With Russia, it is almost similar to China: people there have had it up to here with the West! The Russian people suffered immensely from Western imperialism.
Andre Vltchek
Tens of millions of Russian people died, fighting all sorts of Western expansionism. They defeated Nazism. They helped to liberate much of our world from colonialism. Of course the West never forgave Russia for fighting the epic battles against its expansionism and colonialism.
Andre Vltchek
In order for the second scenario to win, the world would have to return where the struggle for independence and against Western colonialism and imperialism was lost or abandoned more than 50 years ago. Let's face it: the world was never really completely de-colonized. It would be total hypocrisy to claim otherwise.
