Julius Nyerere

And he starts teaching at the University of Dar es Salaam down in Tanzania.

This is during the administration of Julius Nyerere.

Nyerere, of course, was a socialist.

He was an anti-colonial figure, and he makes Dar es Salaam a haven for several anti-colonial movements in exile, including the African National Congress of South Africa, Frélimo from Mozambique, and the MPLA of Angola, all of whose causes, of course, Rodney is aligned with and learns from while he's there.

And furthermore, it's increasingly clear that it was coordinated with intelligence services, including the Israeli intelligence services.

and has been used for purposes of compromise etc etc epstein was protected by the system he was untouchable he was close friends close colleagues with some of the most powerful people in the world including the president of the united states people knew about this for decades you know and finally someone blows the whistle but as you said who's been brought to justice for uh as a result of this whole campaign and the release of the Epstein files over the course of many months.

So in terms of the key differences between the West and China in dealing with corruption, in the West, corruption is structural, money buys policy.

It's not a matter of a few bad apples.

Yeah.

This this quote of so long as socialism holds in China, it holds ground in the world.

That's that's that's me citing Deng Xiaoping to the then Tanzanian president, Julius Nyerere, in 1989.

Right.

And I remember when I told my mom I was going to climb it, she was like, why? because it's just not something that most people who are familiar with the mountain do.

And I was always just really impressed by what it symbolized for the rest of the world, because what it symbolized for Tanzanians, which It marked our independence in a way where the first president, Nyerere, had an adventurer go up and light the Uhuru torch on the peak as a symbolism of our independence and freedom.

So it's literally called Freedom Peak.

But for other people, it's like, this is one of the world's seven summits.

You may say, which is true.

The Democrats are also, as the late Julius Nyerere once

said, capitalist and imperialist.

But I think there are capitalist imperialists that I would prefer to push further and fight against instead of the Republicans.

The club became associated with nationalists and the Tanganyika African National Union, usually called TANU.

TANU was led by Julius Nyerere, the teacher who became the independence movement's defining political figure and the country's first president.

Tanzanians called him Mwalimu, teacher.

Tanganyika became independent in 1961.

It's October 14th.

So join us for servant of God, Julius Nyerere, the teacher.

Julius Nyerere stood outside the State House of Tanzania for the last time.

The guards, the ceremonies, the official cars, all of that was someone else's now.

He had been the president of Tanzania for over 20 years, and now he was simply a citizen of the nation that he had founded.

Now he walked to his modest car, got in and drove north toward the small lakeside village where he had been born, where his family farmed and where he intended to live the rest of his life.

Welcome back, Sprouts.

Today is October 14th, the death day of Servant of God Julius Nyerere, a school teacher's son from Tanzania who became the country's first president.

This isn't some guy flying in from Harvard who is going to tell us what to do like he's lived here in Africa.

When I first met Julius Nyerere, the founder of Tanzania, it's a fantastic story.

He's in the Carlisle Hotel in New York City, where the Beatles stayed and where Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy cheated on everybody.

So I'm at the Carlisle Hotel with Julius Nuerere, and I'm ushered into the room.

I use the Tanzanian president as a great example.

I think Nyerere was a decent person, um, at heart and really thought this was, and wanted people to be taken care of, and there's a, there's a real decency there that, um, that in a democracy integrated into a democratic system, um, again, does inspire more regulation of capitalism, more welfare state.

It does move the Overton window, um, to those motivations away from just pure unbridled greed, and I distinguish self-interest from greed.

Self-interest is morally neutral.

That's what Europeans did in their World War I, so-called World War I, World War II, and all these other wars historically before.

You know, this is where we need a, an articulate, charismatic leadership like a Julius Nyerere, like, like a Thomas Sankara.

People who can really get Africans to sit up and say, "Wait, he's right.

Why are we addressing these issues like Europeans?" You know, that's not the only template.
