The London-based historian, political campaigner and prolific author Tariq Ali argues that Middle East should look to Latin America.

Pointing to the success of Venezuela's leadership under the seven-times elected President Hugo Chávez, the author of Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope (2006), said that a new level of unity lead by radical new leaders has had a "massive impact" on South America.

New pride has emerged in Latin American countries, said Ali. "You can see it in the way they walk." At the same time, the contrast to the Middle East "couldn't be greater."

Alis said that hope came in the knowledge that political and social change was constant and discussed the future impact China's economy will have on the dominance of America as a world power.

UK activist, historian and author Tariq Ali took the Sydney Ideas audience through a world divided between privilege and poverty and demonstrated the situation in Latin America could not be more different to the Arab world. Both Latin America and the Arab world have sparked intense hostility from the West by challenging neoliberalism, but according to Ali, the resistance in the Middle East is divided and without the social vision to unite people.
