I don't know why this is a big news! Is it a first time, a state govt got aid from overseas or a foreign community? Just because a communist govt of west bengal got it - you guys started shouting.
I saw lot of communism hatred posts saying communism has failed in this forum. I'll not have any objection if these posts come from Ammericans or French or Germans. But it's rediculous to see such posts from people belonging to India which has miserably failed in every front, inspite of the absence of communism. Do you want to claim non-commie counties like India/Mexico/Brazil are more developed than communist countries like Russia, Poland or Czech republic or even China?
Remember people in India don't maintain living standard anywhere close to the people's of Eastern europian countries.

Socialism is a newer form of communisn. What China (or WB/Kerala) are following is even more modern communism. They have changed over the time. There is nothing wrong with that - every thing needs to change over time. The so called captalist countires are all not so purist - they too give lot of social protection to their people - they too protect their own companies when there is internation competetion.
The absence of communism or presence of capitalism doesn't ensure prosperrity.
These are two different ways of a nation to prosper. You need to follow it right way to succeed - it doesn't matter what you follow.

Mr. Alladin..
What is the definition of communism and tell us where is it being practiced now ??? The so called ''communist '' are more capitalist than the normal capitalist ( best eg. china). I would call these so called COMMUNISTS of these days as OPPORTUNISTS.

What China or WB following that is modern communism (quite different from the one Marx came with). I don't see anything wrong with that - every thing need to change over time.

Go to countires like Spain, Portugal, Italy (even UK to some extend) - they are as bad as EECs.
