"The failure of Communism has not been the failure of ideology. The ideology is still very powerful" The above quote from your analysis on the failure of the communism in Mumbai`s Trade Unionism may be partyly true but, to say that the ideology is still powerful is total nonsense! What is the answer to the decline communist ideology in the rest of the world? The China seems to be abandoned it and in erstwhile USSR, it is totally wiped out. You want to say it was `methodology of implementation` failed in these countries,then nobody can improve on these methodology of implementation than it was done in these countries The basic reason for the failure of the communism was that it did not take into account of human psychology and nature in formulating the ideology. The inherent talent and hard work in every human beings can be stifled by the ideology of communism. It obstruct these traits of human beings from coming out into open and thereby bettering his lot. The people here are not started questioning the liberalism, as you say, but surprised to see its benefits and want to question the leaders, who put them under the wrap of leftist policies in all these years in the name of socialism!!
