[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

@vision2020  let me rather ask you this. Is there a capitalist country that conducts biological experiments on its citizens for 30 years without them knowing about it? Yes. There is. Have the private sector oligarchs supported it? Yes. 

Welcome to land of freedom





And this is just a small list,


Just imagine if china had done the same, the whole world would have been reeing.

Thus, again, manufacturing consent by moan chomsky remains a required reading





Noam chomsky  waaah. Very "revolutionary" I say lol salaam👌Can't get more realistic than this.Atleast have neutral sources of info😁

@cat  okay. Here I have to cease any interaction. Also, its wired. Not wire. As I have said, you know zilch about chomsky too. Its better not to interact. Go and do your daily dose of opindia and go to sleep man.

@cat  as I said, you need to read a lot more. You neither have data, nor data sets. 

And as long as rate of return of capital is more than growth nothing can happen. 


And your utopia has both equality and wealth. Equality of poverty for the masses and wealth of the single party state. And yes gulag too🤤

@redemption The fact that we are able to know and criticize all the examples you have listed is made possible only because the US is a free society. Now we atleast have the hope of preventing such incidents from recurring. The world still does not know how many people perished in the Tiananmen Square massacre or how many Uighurs have been displaced from their homes and put in camps. A Chinese equivalent of manufacturing consent would never see the light of the day due to censorship and you would have been unable to quote it.

Please no one take any of my arguments as a personal affront. That will never be my intention.

@redemption you're probably good at reading various Models and applying them with reference to your context, but do you factor in the uncertainty associated with scalability and dynamism associated with these models?

Infact political decisions and externalities associated with Global changes (emerging multilateralism,resurging Protectionism etc) it's irrational  to associated a school of thought being completely wrong or right. Nationalisation of health and education also needs to factor in Financial capability of the nation and that's why government is opting for PPP approach.

@vision2020 @vision2020 Uighurs. Go and find out who did the groundwork reporting on uighurs. Adrian zenz. The same man who believes that USA and china are in civilizational conflict, that lgbt is a mental disorder, there's only one god that's christ and every other religion is not true or kafiresque etc. That majority of the work reported on the uighurs is by zenz, who by his own admission doesn't know mandarin, and is a proclaimed white supremacist, isn't something that you should raise eyebrows about


Also, even for USA people couldn't know or criticize any of the acts of CIA as long as they were done. Only after the whole set of biological experiments completed were they brought to light. Also read what happened to unabomber

@ranahere999  that the state doesn't have capacity is a fallacious excuse. Its more like the brain dead argument reagan and Thatcher gave, without any empirical data to show for

@ranahere999 imo PPP will end up a mess again, state should stay in a sector, if at all, and compete with purely private entities. This marriage of convenience called PPP is neither here nor there, and rife for all sorts of manipulation. Govt should get out of airlines and hotels and focus some on drinking water at the distant village.

@cat  see, this is why I say you didn't study. If you had you would have known I was very clearly referring to gujarat model of growth vs kerala model of growth that is the bhagwati vs sen debate. It's sad that half of the things i write is going over your head. In other words the trickle down v socialist model of growth.

@redemption My dear fellow is it your claim that the empire of evil (USA) is worse than the civilization of honey (China)? Pointing out moral failings in opponents to discredit an argument is an old trick, but it doesn't work. If Hitler says the sun rises in the East, he's still correct. Now the Uighur question isn't as clear as the sun rising of course but in these matters we shall never see it live, until we do, and it is too late. There's enough evidence of Chinese mischief there, including in several UN reports. But, of course, they're all neoliberal shills conspiring against the well meaning wise men toiling away in the Standing Committee?

@Handshake please give me any literature on Uighurs, sponsored by the US, that doesn't have adrian zenzs work as reference. I would be all ears. 

Are there camps? Yes. Are they bad? Yes. Are they concentration camps? No.

That's the nuance

And yeah, you people should read up on the trilateral commission, which happened before the advent of Thatcher and Reagan. 


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission


Remember this commission had Jeremy Epstein, had one of the founder members of mujahideen, proclaimed on establishing the supremacy of neoliberal global order and advocated minimum democracy. 


In 1980s, IMF had a dutch sufi , I forget his name, he said that the extra funds that would be generated from the energy market should form a surplus fund, that would be distributed equitably to LDC and developing nations. This is when we know iraq happened, and the globalisation of oilfields was on. They literally predicted that the insane amount of Petrodollars resulting from the same should be used for development and not go for financial market bulging. Obviously we know who vetoed this out

@Handshake too early to predict, results would be variable vis-a-vis various sectors. It works in Capital intensive infra projects(Roads, shipbuilding etc) and may/maynot work in other sectors.

I didn't mean what you inferred though. You assume to be highly knowledgeable but it doesn't show. Keep trying trolls do better tbh.
