Dear Shome, Communist give the same argument for the murder/loot/ rape of oppenents when they are in power. They talk of democracy and all good words till they are not elected and once elected they cannot be thrown out.
Reasons are obvious. They donot allow democracy to function. If Communists are in power in Bengal for so long and that to inspite bad governance on all fronts then it self speaks of the way they have crused the pponents.
No govt. how so ever good, can survive in democracy for so long as Commubnists have survived. This itself speaks for the goonda raj of communists.
