Guruswamy seems to have developed a sneaking admiration for the Naxals simply because he spoke to them. Well, he's not right for the following reasons: 1) Communism is a dead ideology. There is no support left for any of this Marxian-Maoist-thuggishness in any part of the world. 20 There is no denying that the Indian state has not been a benign partner, often preying upon the country's people, but Naxal guns are not going to solve this problem. 3) In today's highly interconnected world, it is naive to believe that a few thouand armed Red gangs can "rewrite history," while the rest of the world sits quietly. Won't happen. 4) "Armed might cannot solve this problem" was line parroted by our 'liberals' when insurgency in Punjab was at its peak. It took the iron resolve of just two men, Narasimha Rao and KPS Gill to solve the problem. The same thing will happen to Kashmir's terrorists. The Naxal Reds can keep up their blood-soaked illusions for some more years, but that will be about it. Jaganniwas Iyer

COMMUINISM IS NOT DEAD IDEALOGY BUT IS A NOBLE IDEALOGY. ONLY PROBLEM WITH COMMUNISM IS IT'S IMPLEMETATION AND IT'S USURUPTION BY THE GOVERNERS.YOU MAY READ GEORGE ORWELL'S ANIMAL FARM AND YOU WILL GET YOUR ANSWERS. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS TO FOLLOW MAHATMA GANDHI'S IDELOGY OF SIMPLE LIVING AND HIGH THINKING AND NOT GET ENTANGLED IN WEST'S MATERIALISTIC APPROACH. MORE WE RUN AFTER MONEY AND WILL NOT CARE FOR OUE BROTHERS MORE WE WILL BE IN TROUBLE AND THIS MAY EVEN LEAD TO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO ''FRENCH REVOLUTION'' -P.D.KULKARNI

Socialism is a noble ideology, communism is however the devil's own blood soaked idealogy.
Communism is another excuse for armed thugs to take over a nation and plunder and kill in the name of the state.
