'Colonialism' and 'democracy' are two contradictory terms. In order to be 'democratic' a country has to be free. Right now, Indonesian people are slaves: of the West and of their local elites.

More quotes by Andre Vltchek
One of the popular views in the liberal circles of the West is that we are actually 'all victims of capitalism'. I disagree. This savage global capitalism is only one of the most terrible bi-products of the dominant Western culture of racism, greed, brutality and unbridled desire to control the world.
Andre Vltchek
The forces of internationalism, humanism and solidarity will have to be victorious, or soon there will be nothing left of the human race.
Andre Vltchek
There is no regard for human lives, or local national interests. It is because the West, despite its hypocritical rhetoric (political correctness) does not really consider non-whites and non-Christians as human beings.
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 are scared of falling sick in Indonesia, because Indonesia has one of the most compassionless medical systems in the world, totally abandoned to market forces. Medical care here is just 'business', as everything else here has become 'business'. It is quite terrifying and grotesque.
Andre Vltchek
Who talks about the real human rights violations, those committed by the West? Europeans and North Americans have already butchered hundreds of millions of people, or close to one billion, to be precise. They have been looting, torturing and raping. Even now, they are killing millions directly and tens of millions indirectly.
Andre Vltchek
Chinese people are thoroughly sick of Western imperialism.
Andre Vltchek
The truth has to be unveiled. If the West insists, if it keeps pushing, the battles have to be fought. And they will be fought.
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
The West, both the elites (consciously) and ordinary people (sub-consciously), want Russia to go to hell to disappear, drown, explode. It is because Russia is once again defending humanism all over the world.
Andre Vltchek
The only reason so many are so pissed off at the US is because they see North America as promoting a 'bad deal' for its own masses, not because it is ruining the rest of the world!
Andre Vltchek
For years now, the fake European 'left' is trying to portray European citizens as victims of the US imperialism. It is even trying to make the world feel sorry for those European workers who do not get a fair deal from their governments! It is thoroughly absurd.
Andre Vltchek
As for free education, universal medical care and other basic rights: Yes, people have to fight! Of course they have to. Free and good education is their right, no matter what advisors and 'experts' coming from the United States say.
Andre Vltchek
I believe that Indonesia has to first be ruled by some form of a socialist system, before we can even start talking about 'democracy'.
Andre Vltchek
Indonesian people have no idea whom they are actually voting for, or of what their political system consists of. It is so easy to fool them.
Andre Vltchek
The world is still being battered by the Western/white/Christian supremacy dogmas and practices, by the most primitive and fundamentalist 'principles'.
Andre Vltchek
Russia and China have become two great allies. They'd never be divided as they were during the Cold War Days. Russia and China together cannot be defeated: militarily, economically or morally.
Andre Vltchek
Once elected, the President 'forgets' all about his promises.
Andre Vltchek
Maybe people are not able to define their fears. But they have them, and it shows from their behavior. There is so much frustration and anger.
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.
