Concerned at where the world is going and my place in it, all mainstream UK news media treating us all as children, RT is the only channel for news for grownups.

However, I was still surprised at RT talking about global resorces and comsumption only in a capitalist context.

Is it naive of me to think that a hithereto socialist country should know better? Or was Marxist understanding of socio-economics in Soviet education so deficient that the world is understood now only in a capitalist context?

Simple 1917 Bolsheviks who couldn't read or right knew that a capitalist view of the world is that there are two classes, capitalist minority owning means of production, and non-owning majority owning labour power. Global poverty is the majority with no access to the MOP, not the ridiculous over population nonsense we get where capitalist philosophy dominates and controls education, publishing, media and therefore what most people think in the "West", which calls itself the free world - which is nothing more than the freedom of capital to dominate, control and exploit.

But ultimately, as we know, the law of the falling rate of profit will ultimately decide - hopefully without nuclear catastrophe.

I think the world is now socio-economically on the FROP decisive road out of capitalism.

I was born in the bombed out East End of London when Red Army soldiers turned around Nazi tanks at Stalingrad, saving me from more Nazi bombs. It will be an interesting world still within my lifetime, as, hopefuuly we wre approaching an economic Kursk.

Than you Sovietsky Soldata, too many of you lay in the soil of our Europe or the ashes of places like Buchenwald.

Where people who think like me end up will be a matter for future philosophically, ideologically and academically honest historians and economists.

Dear Peter,

Your programme is very well balanced and illuminating. I am an avid watcher. However, I would like to be given a chance to participate as a guest to show how the West is failing and why the West is failing in their foreign policy. A new angle with emphasis on CAUSE and EFFECT. I come from a family of thinkers and intellectuals politicians and from an early age we were taught how to analyze the political events scientifically and objectively, that is what people in the US appear to lack or delibertately distort the truth for short term and ill-thought gains with disaterous consequences for the world.

Thanks, for your consideration.

I live in rural N/E Thailand ; we have a free satellite service connected to our televisions .  The only English speaking world news channel is from Russian Television .  Your programme Cross Talk is a must for me , without fail , every week . I find your debates enormously interesting and informative .  I know that you have been a university professor , but I marvel at your knowledge on such a wide variety of subjects .

You have lived in Russia for a while now ; I associate people who live and work in Russia as taking a Russian point of view in contrast to the western view that still considers Russia as much the same as the USSR . I question my own view of world affairs , wondering whether I am not influenced by Russian propaganda .

When I view your debates , I am struck by your intelligent participants and their varying views as well as yours .  I am listening to common sense , from whatever political persuasion .  I am English , but have lived in Italy , before coming to Thailand . My daughter is married to a German and lives in Berlin ; my two sons live in the US , so generally we have a broader viw of the world than most families .  I am of the opinion that the vast majority of Americans are little educated and have little knowledge of world or home affairs . I even wonder whether my well educated sons take a bland view of life , as long as their supermarket shelves are filled .  I am so glad you had a debate on Ron Paul , whom I think would be the best choice for the next president .  Perhaps , if not selected by the GOP , he should stand as an independent .  

I am slightly concerned , that I tend to consider the Russian point of view as correct ; in such matters as Iran , Syria , Afganistan .  I am seeig the USA , Britain and Europe as the bad guys in the world , whereas for years the USSR ( Russia ) has been seen as the bad guy .  I am a mid-conservative and should be seeing the US , Britain and EU as good guys .  I see David Cameron as totally incompetent , a yesman to US or EU policy .  Obama is on the payroll of Goldman Sachs .

I consider myself completely open minded , but begin to wonder whether that is really so .          

Dear Peter ,

In my concentration on what I wanted to write , I ommitted to address you personally .

Thank you so much for your excellent debates , that give us viewers food for thought .

We live in a dreadful world .  We can be thankful for Russia and China vetoing rash warmongering decisions at the UN .

Best  Wishes !!!

David
