“There are three basic economic systems, Capitalism, communism and probably your favourite, stealing.
It’s a bit like being at a parent’s party. There’s lots to eat and drink, but it all feels a bit shit.”

I know there was more to it but I’ve forgotten the rest. There aren’t more communists in Africa because the anti-imperialist revolutions of the 1960s were not also anti-capitalist by nature so as they rejected traditional imperialism they accepted the manipulative loans from the IMF and the World Bank which hold their economies to ransom while suppressing the populace. The old revolutionary governments of Africa have become the new tyrants of today.
That’s Peter Dwyer’s theory anyway.

Well, as you can see the quotes dont really stand as quotes. I like the quotes in the layout that you had in the previous blog.
I think a grey background to the quotes would be good. (you probably need to mess with the css…)

And, you still haven’t left a link from your old blog to your new blog. So you will loose readers that way. There is a timeframe for this. If as a reader I go to your blog and see no new updates, and no new link onwards, then I probably wont come back.
I guess the old blog never had thousands of reader, but there were probably some people that read every couple of weeks.

I like the link to the media studies blog on the side. that’s very good.
