[A-List] Myanmar

["Nestor Gorojovsky" <nestorgoro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As for me, I am most interested in knowing what is it that goes on in 
Myanmar (not Burma).  

Western dominated sources have provided a deep cone of darkness on 
the place, in L.America at least, which of course makes me suspicious 
that some good things are taking place there.  

And, let us say it from the very beginning:  I won't buy any "Chinese 
imperialist" story about in Myanmar.  In my own view of things 
Chinese imperialism does not exist, nor can exist.  Not currently, at 
least.  Nor will it exist on my book until it can be demonstrated 
that the social structure of China equates that of any First World 
country which China, and not always for its best, is far from.

And this is valid to any predication of the word "imperialism" on 
large countries that don't belong to the G-7 and environs.  I don't 
even believe in the possibility of a Russian imperialism.  Brazilian, 
Argentinean, Indonesian, etc., imperialisms have always appeared to 
me as pro-imperialist red-herrings which served the interest of 
splitting the Third World in minute pieces.

In the same way, I would not accept the talk about Venezuelan 
imperialsm or --South African imperialism!  Even "sub"-imperialism.

On this, too, Patrick and yours truly differ and there is no means to 
put us in agreement.
