2008 Olympic Games should be politicized?

I want to listen to your views. Personally, I believe that China's painted in the Olympic Games has been a very strong political overtones. Some people describe it in 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, I think, in any case so difficult for China Under the conditions of organizing the Olympic Games are obvious feat for this, I am here to welcome you all to look at China

I find the analogy to the 1936 Berlin Olympics a very interesting one, although I am unsure as to whether it would be a correct one. I wouldn't really compare China to Nazi Germany, that would be a pretty bad mistake even if the Chinese government is pretty bad sometimes from what we here in the "west' know.

I do think that either way these games serve to improve the public's perception of politics - be it the Chinese government's or the resistance's politics.

Well, as you said, the games are already politicized. So, if any actually revolutionary group would do something during the games, that'd be great. (oh and contrary to what i said in the other thread, if you want to see your Marxist-Leninist group as revolutionary, go right ahead, im sure it's better than the bureaucrats ;))

The Nazi capitalist imperialism in Germany lasted only 12 years 1933 to 1945 before being smashed by the soviet union with reluctant support from the rest. there is absolutely no comparison except in the propaganda of the various anti-China interests.

China walked into the 2008 Olympics storm with its eyes wide open. But that is no excuse for lefts to join in the pro-imperialist anti-China champing that tries to compare China with Nazi Germany.
