1002 (Part 1) Calvin Hobbes Comic Cartoons may be for laughing purposes. But their Cartoon about Communism, will have to be clarified by Marxists

I thought I am the first person criticising the above Calvin Hobbes Cartoon. But, I am not. In fact, I am one of the devoted aficionados and fans of the Calvin-Hobbes. For laughing purposes,the above cartoon is Okay. But for reality analysis purposes, we have to take a different view. First, I shall provide a link to the person who has already written a beautiful analysis, about this cartoon. Click here to go to http://bwill112.blogspot.in/2014/10/16-research-of-basics-main1.html. The discussion presented in the linked blog page is very interesting, and it tries to compare the status of freedoms between 'democracy' and the Communism. But, I wish to present a totally different view point, in post No. 1003).

Personal views of ybrao-a-donkey which are not intended to be imposed on others.

Do Communists force people to sleep? Do Communists prevent people from sleeping?

Absolute freedom for a person to do anything he-she-likes, (In Telugu language, spoken by 100 million people across the world, the word used is 'svEchcha', whereas 'svatantram' = freedom, independence is not absolute freedom in its perfectness), IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THIS EARTH IN ANY SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE, not to speak of Democracy and Communism.

Constitutions of different countries guarantee different degrees of personal freedoms, but none of them grant 100% svEchcha in the truest meaning of the word. Indian Constitution also has numerous provisions for protection of freedoms, under various Articles of Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy. Most of these Constitutional Articles, in 1950 we might have started on a clean slate, but since then countless Constitutional Amendments by the Governments, Supreme Court Rulings have added many exceptions and limitations to the freedoms envisaged in Indian Constitution. Thus, our personal freedoms in today's world are only delusive, elusive, and illusive.

LOSS OF PERSONAL FREEDOMS IN THE ERSTWHILE COMMUNIST COUNTRIES SUCH AS ERSTWHILE USSR, China, East European Countries, Cuba etc.

I do not know what field level problems which Lenin-Stalin-Trotsky, Mao-Ze-Dong, Castro faced. But, in the name of fighting the bourgeoisie and the kulaks (landlords), and inducting and enforcing egalitarian socities , personal freedoms were given goodbye, causing grief and misery to thousands of familiies. Though it was probably expected at that time that, the loss of personal freedom would be temporary, and that the lost freedoms will be restored once normalcy is brought back, it never happened. Finally, the Communist countries got dissolved, and Capitalism-s + democracies took their place. Dis the lost personal freedoms come back? I have doubts.

What is the % of personal freedoms in our Great Icon of Liberty: United States of America? UK? France? Only citizens of those countries will have to say.

Imagined Personal Freedoms in Democracies- one example

Suppose a person inherits a billion dollar estate from his parents. Suppose he-she gets assured income of some millions of bucks from some fishy money markets. Now, can we say that he-she has a right of personal freedom to spend all his life booze-binge-ing, gambling, or just lazily lying down on a couch, watching or without watching (lazy even to watch a TV), while making sure that his inherited wealth is well-protected and consuming only the 'usufruct' i.e. income part?

On the other hand, I have seen many persons toiling for their two square meals, right from the day, they attain an age of five years as a child. And that drudgery they have been doing 24/7/365. Is that real freedom? Or a delusive freedom?
