Communism is based on proper doctrines and theories - unlike the idealogy-less make shift jugaru politics of most Indian parites. In 1948 when Marx and Engles released the Menufesto - it was not meant to win elections but to change a social order - which has happened in Europe and USA, may not be under a Communist Party but under the priniples of more equitable distribution of wealth. Today an European factory worker can own a BMW and a farmer can own 36 cows. That is the success of the Marx-Engelican dream - it is not necessary that some party by the name of Communist party has to rule the land to get all this.
Back home, those of you who have some reading behind your comments will know that Kerela is the state with highest average per kapita income and literacy rate. (You may check Amarta Sen's - An Argumentative Indian, for a closer look on Kerela's success )In fact if you comapre only Kerela with the growth parameters of China - Kerela will win in all fronts. Imagine what would have happened if all Indian states were kerela (don't worry I am not from Kerela).
I would only suggest, that those of you, who criticize communism do it with proper reading and justification rather than following a herd mentality.
If you think that communism is present only in the practise of some misguided politicians or demi-dictators - that is because you are trying to form an opinion by looking at the form without having knowledge of the substance.
It takes a lot to really cry at another's misery. It takes a lot to give away the very little you have to the one who has even less - a true communist can do all this - that is one of the reasons why we don't belive in god ;))
