Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Hi,
Y la lucha seguirà hasta cerrar las venas abiertas de America Latina Loosely translated on Google, but if I am interpreting this right, this is the same sentiment with all of Latin America since the 1400's and probably before! (And the fight will continue until the open veins of Latin America are closed .) The only sad thing, for me, about all this, is that too much of "progressive music" these days is so meaningless that it tends to hide and hurt a lot of music at its start, which was quite political and was very socially aware and concerned. I've been criticized and threatened by a couple of folks because I said that 20th Century Schizoid Megalomaniac is about a lot of folks that have greed, hate and destruction in their veins ... and Latin America has been raped for 600 years and it needs to be stopped! I'll put "Carcara" by Maria Betania (Brazil) next to this any day ... it was, in many ways, the first preview of what we would eventually see in "Apocalypse Now" ...

You are right. I was born in 1970 and so I could not enjoy the Youth Movement of the Seventies that in Italy was very politicized and connected to prog groups like Area, Banco and PFM. At that time prog and politics went hand in hand, in Italy. |

Hi, The same sentiment goes for a lot of Africa that even caused a sensation when one quote from a play ("Marat/Sade") was so on it, as to implicate the control of the industrial European folks and their "greed', since there was no more gold to mine in Europe, unless you went after the Vatican! A little different gold, but what the heck! The fact was that what was happening in Africa was very loud and clear in Europe (England? ... nahhh ... they were too busy with Beatles and Rolling Stones!) ... but in places like America, where you do not have a contrary publishing company with different political opinions, you are not going to find a lot of knowledge and understanding for what happened ... it was very tough for me who had been looking at PARIS MATCH and LONDON TIMES, to all of a sudden see something else being written (complete polar opposite, too!) about the same event in all American newspapers! The comment by the Marquis de Sade in that play is that only a revolution would get a result ... because "the rich will not let go of their goods without a fight!" ... and it went on and on, for many centuries. I wish that there was more of this around here, but "fans" don't like politics ... usually they only like their top ten and continuously vote for it!
