THE GREAT COMMUNIST DEBATE
by Pradip on Jun 16, 2008 08:35 PM   Permalink

The differences in Indian communist movement were based on two planks- foreign policy and characterization of the INDIAN STATE. As per CPI, USSR UPHOLDS THE BANNER OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST MOVEMENT, CPI(ML) dreamt of an agrarian revolution and chanted Chairman Mao as their Chairman,CPIM took a middle path though in 1962 they supported China and foresaken later with the support extended by CPC to CPI (ML) during Naxalite upsurge. Where does the left derive their strength from - hapless working class born out of greed and exploitation of capitalist system- if the state arms with social development measures, the State could meet success, with a restricted sense, the way US is successful and to a greater extent Europe, WELFARE STATE. Those are developed colonial powers. What should be the roadmap to success in a massively agrarian country like India ? There is no short cut recipe indeed. WE NEED TO UPLIFT OUR DOWNTRODDENS, reservation is a lopsided myopic alternative which creates fissures and anarchy, does not address poverty or illiteracy. There should be planning- briddleless, de-regulated economy does not work in a set up where Rockefeller, Gates or Warren Buffets are not born, unfortunately, the wealth is distributed across family lineages. Blood is indeed an Indian weakness, we all earn for next gens independent of their needs. This is feudalistic capitalism , not entrepreneurial type. If we sit nonchalantly, may be, Bardhan's dream and our nightmare becomes true.
