821 Mr. Donald Trump ought to have taken the assistance of Mr. KCR for his Campaigning and Debating

I am unable to determine whether to write in a lighter vein or in a serious tone about this. I write in a way as it comes, whether it is really worth it, or not worth it. At the end of the high-falutin and bloviating campaign talks of Mr. Donald Trump and Ms. Hillary Clinton, and the three high voltage TV debates between them which indicate that Ms. Clinton has won (at least in lashing the tongue), suddenly a feeling crept in me that Mr. Trump has not obtained the right type of assistance to secure a victory in the billion dollar each campaigns.

The fierce fight for Presidency, between two Multi Billionnaires is nothing new in United States. The Presidential canddidates are only proxies, for the business empires who were pumping them with Campaign Funds, with a view to collect their investments back later. We must also not forget that some Business Empires may be backing both the candidates covertly, so that they can reap a win-win sitution.

Question: Do you mean to say that American voters are fools, or will be fooled?

Ans: Voter foolishness, in a clearer perspective, is to be taken as global foolishness. We cannot have a narrow view that it is American Foolishness. The American voters, were fooled in the past, are being fooled, and will be fooled in future also. Just as in OOP (Object Oriented Programming) in Information Technology there are inheritances of objects, in the Technologies of Democracies are there are inheritances, Voter Foolishness is one among them.

Question: You seem to be biased against American Democracy?

Ans: My bias is not against American Democracy. My bias is against the monster of Capitalism. Otherwise how will you explain this situation? There are news reports that, in his last American Presidential Campaign, Mr. Barrack Obama has spent US$ 1 billion, which is not by an means a mean amount. There were jubilations that a "Blackman" was for the first time elected as American President. American Blacks were supposed to be poor. It must have been a dream for an ordinary American Black to mobilise a Billion bucks for spending in elections. Then, was Obama an extra-ordinary American Black, that American Business Empires condescended to pour in a billion greenbacks for Election Campaigns? Now, that gush and verve of electing a Black President is gone, this time there is going to be a euphoria of electing a first American Woman President. In this euphoria, reasoning will be lost.

What Reasoning?

Whether first American Black President, or the first American Woman President, or some other President, as long as they continue to be proxy and puppet Presidents in the hands of business empires, there is not going to be much change in the trials and tribulations of the American Havenots and American Unemployed/under-employed.

Question: Do you support or sympathise with Donald Trump and his misdemeanours and transgressions?

There is not much difference between Donald Trump and Ms. Hillar Clinton. Ms. Clinton looks more polished, and talks in a more refined manner. Whatever be his utterances on stage in his last talk during third Debate on TV, Mr. Trump has not only grossly mismanaged his campaigns, but also, in the process, spoiled the opportunities of his other Republican Rivals.

SOMETHING IN LIGHTER VEIN

There are news reports that the Telugu film Hero Akhil s/o Nagarjuna will be participating in Donald Trump's fund raising campaigns. Mr. Akhil may be in Cloud 9s for getting the unique opportunity, which no other Telugu Hero seems to have got. It is not clear, how much he is being paid for his appearance, but definitely it may not be FREE, even if free flight tickets both sides, free accommodation etc. are given. We shall have a 'no comment' about this.

Mr. Trump's principal hope for success appears to rest on the 'dissatisfaction' of the American White Unemployed and UnderEmpoloyed Persons whose jobs have been knocked away/ ARE BEING KNOCKED AWAY (as per their perceptions) by Chinese, Indians, Mexicans, and other coloreds. But, I believe that Trump might have failed to build a solid voter support base from this most important segment of American Democracy. It is not my intent to say that Mr. Trump is a novice or that he is naive. He ought to have taken the assistance of stalvarts in this field of proven expertise, the Emperor among whom is Mr. Kaluvakunta Chandrasekhara Rao, popularly called KCR, and KCR & Co. inclusive of his kith and kin KTR, Harish Rao, Ms. Kavita etc. He is at present the Chief Minister of Telangana State in India, which has a population of about 40 million.

People of Telangana have nursed a grievance that, emigrants from the Coastal Districts of Andhra Pradesh were knocking away their jobs. Mr. KCR who might have been a shepherd in Karimnagar (as per the comments of his enemy politicians) was encouraged by Late N.T. Rama Rao, and Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, by making him an M.L.A., and a Minister. Subsequently, there were dissensions between KCR and Mr. Naidu, the then Chief Minister of the erstwhile United Andhra Pradesh State , presumably over the sharing of spoils of corruption and pelf.

Mr. Naidu did not, in his Cabinet, give a place to KCR. That infuriated KCR. He ignited the dormant Telangana dis-satisfaction of the people of Telangana, that Coastal Andhra Emigrants were knocking away their jobs, and stealing River Waters. In the process of running his movement, KCR specialised in his art of enflaming the hurt sentiments of Telangana People, and perfecting the art of throwing invectives and pouring profanities on the Emigrants from Coastal Andhra. Consequently, they have become aliens in their own country. KCR in his abuses and insults did not leave even the then Prime Minister of India, Mr. Manmohan Singh, whom KCR called a chaprasi. KCR's ENFLAMING CAMPAIGNS became so successful that All India Party Bosses of all Parties, wanted to satisfy his vanities. He spoke as though he wanted to create a Mini Pakisthan in INdia, by supporting the Nizam Navab. People of Telangana were not allowing the Telangana Leaders of other parties, Other State Leaders of other parties to enter Telangana. So much so, the MPs of all Parties of Telangana blocked the functioning of Indian Parliament for several days. Finally, both BJP-NDA, and the Congress-UPA surrendered to his dictums and wills. In 2014 elections, KCR's Party swept the polls and came to power. We need not say, KCR ditched both BJP and Congress.

So, what is the lesson?

Had Mr. Donald Trump invited KCR to design and address his Campaigns, KCR could have scaled new heights in throwing abuses, invectives, profanities, and created the right climate of HATRED required for capturing the votes of Unemployed and UnderEmployed of all Hues. True, that Trump was quite outspoken. But that may not be sufficient to create and garner HATE-BASED votes. After his success in American Presidential Elections 2014, KCR would have expanded his strategies to all Elections in Europe, Canada, and ANZ.

After all, what for- life is, except to lose opportunities?

Question: What will you say about the allegations of groping, philandering, and serenading attempts of Mr. Trump?

SOCIO-POLITICAL CULTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN U.S. AND INDIA

Ans:- These things of expectations of personal character and family behaviors / behaviors towards women, from the aspiring Presidential candidates, may be of some special interest to the American voters. But in India nobody cares about the character or characteristics of politicians, particularly the top bosses. Sexual Relationships were never election issues in India.

The issue of extra-marital relationships of Members of Legislative Assembly, as far as I could remember, once came for discussion in the Assembly of United Andhra Pradesh State. At that time, the then Speaker of A.P. Assembly Mr. Suresh Reddy, constituted a House-Committee to study the seriousness of the problem. What happened? Nothing happened.

In India, more concubines and more paramours for a wealthy person, means more masculinity. The concubines and paramours of wealthy persons, are not looked down upon.

814 (Part 3/100) of Lenin X Gandhi Comparisons, George Bernard Shaw, Future of Global Communism, and Indian Communism

George Bernard Shaw was one of the analytical expounders of Fabian Socialism (Gradualist Socialism). After the two world wars, his perspectives seem to have changed. He seems to have started supporting dictatorships. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia.org:

"...His appetite for politics and controversy remained undiminished; by the late 1920s he had largely renounced Fabian gradualism and often wrote and spoke favourably of dictatorships of the right and left—he expressed admiration for both Mussolini and Stalin. In the final decade of his life he made fewer public statements, but continued to write prolifically until shortly before his death, aged 94, having refused all state honours, including the Order of Merit in 1946. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's humble comments. वैबीराव एक गधे के विनम्र राय . వైబీరావ్ గాడిద వినమ్ర వాణి. You have every right to differ with me. I respect your right. आपको मेरे मत से भिन्न राय रखने के संपूर्ण हक है। मै उस अधिकार को परिपूर्ण रूप से गौरव देता हुँ. మీకు, మీ భిన్నమైన అభిప్రాయాన్ని కలిగిఉండే సంపూర్ణ హక్కు ఉంది. దానిని ఎంతో నేను గౌరవిస్తాను. However, pl. examine this donkey's views also. परन्तु एस गधे के दृष्टिकोण को भी अनुशीलन कीजिये. కానీ ఈ గాడిద దృష్టికోణాన్ని కూడ ఓర చూపుతో కంటజూడుమీ, క్రీగంట జూడమీ.

In Blog Post No. Click to go to post No. 813 at this blog , I have given a quote from Lenin's telegram to his associates to arrange for hanging of 100 kulaks, not because I wanted to find fault with Lenin's methods of working, but because, I have some reservations about 'killing' as a 'corrective-mechanism' for ills of society. In that post, we have also made a note that Indian Maoists went on killing/maiming presumably innocent people calling them informers or traitors, and went on being killed by the Police in (1) Genuine Encounters and, (2) Fake Encounters. The Maoists and their supporters called the State Killings as 'rAjya himsa' (Violence by State), and their killing of informers 'prati himsa' (Retributive or Compensatory Violence). Analyses of the State Violence vs. Retributive Violence, we shall take up later.

What we ought to note, in a longer term perspective, is Killings and violence delay the advent of True Socialism, because a deviation of efforts takes place. Focus will shift. Misdirections take place. There will be heat and explosions. But starving and the suffering millions will not get the amelioration and relief they need and deserve, RIGHT NOW.

We shall, now, take up the captioned quote of George Bernard Shaw, which can also be seen in the above image:--

Socialism means equality of income or nothing... under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not.

If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well.

Back to yb-donkey's views:

About "Socialism means equality of income or nothing" : -Somehow this quote omitted "equality of wealth", "equality of dignity", "equality of distribution of menial work (physical and hazardous labor)", "equality in distribution of essential goods and services", "justice in preferential order and the design of ladder of distribution (This DESIGN OF LADDER OF DISTRIBUTION AND PREFERENTIAL ORDER requires a thousand blogposts to introduce, explain, and layout pros and cons), etc. While it is true that PERFECT EQUALITY is not possible, at least EXCELLENT EQUALITY should be achievable.

About "You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not.", this is the noblest thing in socialism. No human, worth his salt, will normally on his own volition (exceptions: some Jain traditions) abstain from food, clothing, shelter, education). Our Capitalist Economies and Political Administrations also do not OVERTLY advise or force people to abstain from FLESCOH (My favorite acronym for Food, Liberty, Education, Shelter, Clothing, Old Age Security and Health Care).

We can see how Donald Trump and Ms. Hillary Clinton are making competitive promises, and allegations and counter-allegations, about these things only. Actually, these promises, and some half-hearted follow-up actions on the part of the bourgeoisie parties, have punctured the truck of True Socialism. It is because, either people have started thinking that "something is better than nothing", or because they have reached a situation that they cannot wait even a day for the fantasy of true complete socialism.

Some Telugu language proverbs are relevant here:

1) parugetti pAlu tAgE kannA nilabaDi nILLu trAgaTam mElu. English: It will be better to drink water while standing, instead of running marathons for drinking milk.

2) majjiga lEvurA magaDA anTE, peruguki cITI vrASADuTa. English: Context: A wife asked her to bring butter-milk from outside. The husband responded by writing a chit (slip containing an order) to send curd (yogurt). Here, buttermilk is the minimum survival immediate need. Curd-yogurt is a distant fantasy. People do not oppose curd. They will be delighted to relish it, but they are not prepared to wait.

3) bratikunTE balusAku tinaccu. English: If a person lives, he can survive by eating 'leaves of the balusu plant'. In drought areas of India, there were large number of days, there are some days even now, where people ate/eat leaves of the 'balusu plant' and survived/survive.

4) Upiri unTE uppu kallu ammi bratakaccu: English: If we have breath, we can survive, even by selling salt. (Selling salt = eking out livelihood by street-vending salt taking it on a cart to houses).

About "If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner;" :-- 1) Who will decide that a particular person, or some particular persons do not have the required character? If he becomes adament / biased / corrupt / despotic ? There must be a fool-proof State mechanism to prevent injustices, and a efficient-genuine-honest Grievance Redressal Mechanism.

2) What is this "executed in a kindly manner" ? Executions should not either be resorted to at all, or if they are absolutely unavoidable, they should be the LAST RESORT, after zillion alternatives fail.

In my last birth, incarnation as a Bank Employee, I used to have a Bank Manager boss, who had two sons. They used to approach him smilingly, taking with them some chocolates or laDDus, fall on his feet in perfect obedience and obeisance [In Bengali novels of late Saratchandra Chaterjee (popularly called Sarat Babu), we come across a practice called 'pAda dhUli' (taking a little dust at feet and keeping on head, as a token of reverence)]. Then, they used to sit one each on his laps, and then climb up to his head, shuffle his hair with all love and affection, and then finally blurt out "Oh Father, we love you. But we shall fire you with this (toy) pistol, etc.". In real life, there will be no toy pistols. Where will, we can find this "KINDLY".

We can only find persons of the type of Shri Kind Kaluvakolanu Chandrasekhara Rao, present Chief Minister of Telangana State, who want to do some "karru kAlci vAtalu" (brand people he hated, with hot irons). Or we may find some Great Leaders like Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, who will want their opponents to be struck with footwear (ceppu tIsukoni koTTanDi in Telugu language). Or we may find persons like his rival politician Shri Nara Chandra Babu Naidu, who will call critics 'unmAdi' (lunatic). So, this idea of Executions in "Kindly manner" or "cruel manner", or whatsoever manner, have to be erased from the Concept of Socialism.

About "but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well." : This is the noblest part of what Shaw said, in the above quote. Reason: Today, in this Great Great Great Capitalist Economy, millions of people are living under sub-human conditions, not only have been deprived of their basic needs of FLESCOH, but also denied of their self-respect. For proof, I can give any number of real life examples of this monstracity of Capitalism.

But, one crucial question, still remains about: "whilst you were permitted to live". This question is important, because humans existed even before societies evolved. That means Human is 'primary' and Society should be 'secondary'. 'Human' is like dog's head. 'Society' is like dog's tail. Head can survive without tail. But, tail cannot survive without head. I believe that society does not / cannot have an authority to determine whether a person SHOULD BE / SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO LIVE. (NOTE: Capital Punishments through Courts of Law, for ghastly proven rarest-of-the-rarest offences, are exceptions. They are neither norms or parameters or standards in day-to-day functioning of the society.)

Here, it is worthwhile to quote a verse of Telugu poet Late SriSri, from his collection 'mahA prasthAnam' (Great destiny/destination).

మనది ఒక బ్రతుకేనా (Is our life, a life?!!! )
కుక్కల వలె నక్కలవలె (Like dogs, like foxes)
మనదీ ఒక బ్రతుకేనా (Is our life, a life?)
సందులలో పందులవలె (Like the pigs in dirty lanes)

It is this sort of life which True Complete Socialism does not want people to lead /live. However, "should live well" cannot mean "live with all comforts and luxuries". Here "live well" refers to "intrinsic worth of life", and not to "extrinsic worth of life".

Though from the Wikipedia quote given above, we find that Shaw seems to have in his later years "... often wrote and spoke favourably of dictatorships of the right and left—he expressed admiration for both Mussolini and Stalin. ...", we do not know the circumstances and situations which had led Late George Bernard Shaw to shift his stance. I do not contribute to the idea of "Shaw had become an opportunist".

To continue. Subject to further editing to remove anything illegal/unlawful. सशेष. సశేషం.

795 If Mr. Bernie Sanders were a TRUE SOCIALIST he ought not to have joined Democratic Party!

Last time we wrote about Mr. Nick Cohen in our blog was on 24th May 2015, in our blog post No. 510. Click here to have a look at post No. 510 at this blog . At that time, we were discussing about the Indian oligarchs eager to buy posh and prime properties in London. This time, here is a need to compare American Socialist Bernie Sanders, British Labor Leader Jeremy Corbyn, and the European past of Communism of the days of Stalin and Trotsky. Mr. Cohen did it quite effectively and impressively in his article titled "LEFT HAS A HISTORY OF FOOLISHNESS" in Spectator, dated 30th July 2016. I have given below the link to this Spectator's article, for our readers to study. I am not going to rediscover or reinvent what Mr. Cohen has done so convincingly and penetratingly.

Being the largest democracy in the world, howsoever badly the so-called democracy survives in India, being one of the citizens of the poorest country in this world (this truth most Indians do not admit), I am tempted to fantasize about the future of Left in India, and explain how relevant one quote of Mr. Cohen in his article is, for our experience with the Left Parties in India. Conversely, if Indian Left Parties can rebuild themselves and succeed, that success will definitely serve as a model to the Euro, British, American, and probably even for Chinese People, not to write of the African Peoples, and the South American Peoples. (Peoples, as plural= in the meaning of Nations).

Click here to study Mr. Nick Cohen's Article at Spectator.

First we shall take up the quote given in the above image:--

"...Unfortunately, his real world was not the world his supporters lived in. They had believed Sanders when he said Clinton was a Wall Street puppet and were not going to stop believing him just because the danger of a mentally unstable and instinctively authoritarian President Trump entering the White House had forced Sanders to sober up. Clinton’s name produced boos. Trump’s brought shrugs. For them, there remained no difference between the two, and it did not matter who won. ..."

For the benefit of my Telugu readers, I provide an approx. Telugu translation of the above quote: "...దురదృష్టవశాత్తూ, ఆయన (బెర్నీ సాండర్సు గారి) వాస్తవ ప్రపంచము, ఆయన మద్దతు దారులు, జీవించే ప్రపంచము ఒకటి కాదు. 'హిల్లరీ క్లింటన్ గారు వాల్ స్ట్రీట్ యొక్క (భారత్ లో దలాల్ స్ట్రీట్ మరియు ఎన్ .ఎస్.యీ గారి మామగారు) తోలుబొమ్మ (పప్పెట్)' అని చెప్పినప్పుడు, ఆయన మద్దతుదారులు దానిని నమ్మారు. నేడు, మానసికంగా స్థిమితం లేని, సహజ స్వభావంచేతనే నియంతృత్వ స్వభావం కలిగిన అధ్యక్షుడుగా ట్రంప్ గారు వైట్ హౌస్ లోకి ప్రవేశించే అపాయం ఉంది కాబట్టి, ఇపుడు శాండర్సుగారు మెత్తపడ్డారు కాబట్టి, మద్దతుదారులు కూడ సాండర్సుగారు ఇంతవరకు చెప్పినదానిని నమ్మటం ఆపరు. (అంటే, హిల్లరీ క్లింటన్ గారు వాల్ స్ట్రీట్ తోలుబొమ్మ అనే విషయాన్ని నమ్మటం మానరు అని భావం). (సాండర్సు గారు) క్లింటన్ గారి పేరు చెప్పినపుడు, ఆయన మద్దతు దారులు బూ చేసారు (ఎగతాళిగా అరిచారు). (సాండర్సుగారు) ట్రంపుగారి పేరు చెప్పినపుడు, భుజాలు ఊపారు. వాళ్ళ దృష్టిలో, ఇద్దరి మధ్య (ట్రంపు, హిలరీ క్లింటన్) తేడా లేదు. ఎవరు గెలిచారు అనేదానికి పట్టింపు లేదు. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's humble comments. वैबीराव एक गधे के विनम्र राय . వైబీరావ్ గాడిద వినమ్ర వాణి. You have every right to differ with me. I respect your right. आपको मेरे मत से भिन्न राय रखने के संपूर्ण हक है। मै उस अधिकार को परिपूर्ण रूप से गौरव देता हुँ. మీకు, మీ భిన్నమైన అభిప్రాయాన్ని కలిగిఉండే సంపూర్ణ హక్కు ఉంది. దానిని ఎంతో నేను గౌరవిస్తాను. However, pl. examine this donkey's views also. परन्तु एस गधे के दृष्टिकोण को भी अनुशीलन कीजिये. కానీ ఈ గాడిద దృష్టికోణాన్ని కూడ ఓర చూపుతో కంటజూడుమీ, క్రీగంట జూడమీ.

Mr. Bernie Sanders, if he were a true socialist, he ought not to have joined the Democratic Party in United States, which is a bourgeoisie Party.

I am tempted to use a cliche like simile here: A cuckoo cannot sing like a cuckoo, when it is in the party of crows. Initially, crows may allow the cuckoo for a little time to melody like a cuckoo, but eventually the cuckoo will be forced to caw like a crow.

In management science lingo, this can probably called SOCIALISATION. If a newly admitted an employee / Manager in an organisation refuses to get SOCIALISED and undergo the METAMORPHOSIS, there will be EXTERMINATION and OSTRACIZATION.

Now, let us see the predicament of Mr. Sanders. He gave repeated messages to his supporters that Ms. Clinton is a puppet of Wall Street. By and large, it is true also. At the same time, Mr. Sanders ought to have kept in mind that Mr. Trump is also a puppet of the same Wall Street.

Is Mr. Trump a larger puppet, and Ms. Clinton a smaller puppet?

Are there any differences in magnitude and direction between the two? Answer for this can be : Appearances can, sometimes, be deceptive. Ms. Clinton may appear as polished and refined. Mr. Trump may appear as roguish and rubbish. But is there real difference between them? Is that difference so large, so wide, so deep, that Mr. Sanders has to give a call to his supporters to support Ms. Clinton, knowing pretty well that she is a puppet of Wall Street? This shift also gives us another grammatical example of degrees of comparison: Mr. Sanders is a big puppet, Ms. Clinton is a bigger pupper, and Mr. Trump is the biggest puppet!

COMPARISON OF ABOVE SANDERS BEHAVIOR , WITH THE INDIAN LEFTIST BEHAVIORS

The main Communist parties in India are 1. CPI (Communist Parties of India). 2. CPIM (Communist Party of India-Marxist), also called CPM. Both these parties are facing identify crises, notwithstanding their win in 2016 Kerala Assembly Elections, (Kerala=Southwest State of India on the coast of Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean).

Just as Sanders was compelled by his Democratic Party peers (or probably on his own volition) to ask his supporters to TRANSFER their support to Ms. Clinton, with an ostensible objective of preventing Trump entering the White House, Indian Communist Parties have an ostensible objective of preventing Communal Forces (in their view BJP Party)from capturing power in India.

Left parties in India, particularly CPM maintained that it wanted to stay at an equi-distance both from Congress and BJP. That stand was logically correct, because BJP has earned a bad name for enflaming majority communalism, whereas Congress Party tacitly pampered minority communalism. Indian Left Parties if they are truly committed to complete socialism, cannot enter into electoral alliances with bourgeoisie parties. In 2016 Bengal Elections, CPM tried to gather some votes by entering to electoral adjustments with Congress. While Congress benefited from it, CPM paid the price for it.

WHAT IS THE LESSON FROM ALL THIS WHETHER IN INDIA, UK OR USA?

Supporters and Voters are not puppets. Leftist Parties and Truly Socialist Parties have to realise this. The difference between the supporters of bourgeoisie parties and the socialist parties is: Supporters of Socialism become socialists because they have analytical abilities, because they have strong convictions, because they have had in their lives bitter experiences inflicted by Capitalism. Their shift in favour of True Socialism becomes rather indelible and nearly unalterable . Hence, they are not TRANSFERABLE like cheques and drafts, by endorsement and delivery.

WHAT MAY BE THE RIGHT OPTION FOR MR. SANDERS, AND THE TRUE SOCIALISTS IN US?

They have to start a NEW SOCIALIST PARTY in United States, build a truly socialist movement, and get ready for 2020. This is going to be difficult. But where is the choice? Mr. Sanders, or True Socialists, cannot hijack Democratic Party or Republican Party!

WHAT OPTIONS WE CAN THINK OF FOR SUPPORTERS OF TRUE SOCIALISM IN BRITISH LABOR PARTY?

In my mother tongue Telugu language there is a word 'nEti bIrakAya'. It refers to the vegetable a gourd, akin to rugged gourd (Telugu bIra kAya) family. nEti bIrakAya refers to a gourd with CLARIFIED BUTTER. Though nEti bIra kAya is a rare and tasty vegetable, gullible persons may believe that it also contains CLARIFIED BUTTER. British Labor Party, does not contain LABOR. Chinese Communist Party does not contain COMMUNISM.

In this world, especially the Capitalist World, the hard and harsh reality is PACKING CONCEALS THE TRUE NATURE. Actual goods do not conform to their Label. Whereever samples are used, merchandise actually delivered do not conform to samples. Everywhere, only tokenism prevails. In other words, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. True supporters of Working Class in U.K. may have to start a new Labor Party, with some other name, and start afresh.

To continue. सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంది.

721 Mr. Sanders will have to turn the page and learn the work. He can look back to Abraham Lincoln.

2016 American President Elections. Mr. Bernie Sanders, rival to Ms. Hillary Clinton to get Democratic Nomination, cannot any longer delay his reply to Time.Com, which has raised some important questions about acceptance of High Dollar funds from Lobbyists, Pressure Groups. Here is a link to the Time.com How Convention Costs Put Bernie Sanders in a Bind- by Zeke J Miller @ZekeJMiller 12th Apr 2016. (Click to go to Time.Com.) .

Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders has scored political points off his rival’s high-dollar fundraising, while lambasting the influence of the “a handful of billionaires, their super PACs and their lobbyists” in the American political process.

But should he win the Democratic presidential nomination, Sanders stands to be the beneficiary of the same largesse he targets on the campaign trail.

Sanders has not responded to repeated questions from TIME over several months about whether he would ask the Democratic National Committee to stop raising money from federal lobbyist money or PACs if he is the nominee, as well as whether he would return corporate funds solicited for the convention.

The gist of the question will lead to a dilemma: If Mr. Sanders gets Democratic Nomination, will he avail of the High-Dollar funds raised by Ms. Hillary Clinton from Corporates and Lobbyists? All the time, he has been criticising his Rival, that she is mobilising funds from Corporates and Lobbyists.

In other words, the dilemma is practising, what is preached.

Without high-dollar funds from Democratic National Committee, it appears as though Mr. Sanders cannot fight the super-rich Trump. If Mr. Sanders uses the high-dollar funds, he will become cheap in the eyes of the voters.

When I discussed this predicament of Mr. Sanders, with a friend of mine, he suggested that Mr. Sanders should turn the page and learn the Work. By "turn the page", he meant that Sanders should turn the pages of history and find out what Mr. George Washington, Mr. Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Franklin Roosevelt et al had done, when they faced crises.

According to me, among the three Presidents mentioned above, I could not believe that Messrs. George Washington and Franklin Roosevelt could face a funds crises. They might have fought their electoral battles on equal play-fields. Mr. Abraham Lincoln might have faced this problem, but I am unable to trace any historical records.

But, the Gettisburg Address of Lincoln showed his courage of convictions. and his preparedness to face challenges, including a Civil War. Now, Mr. Bernie Sanders will not face anything like a Civil War situation, but, there is a danger of Mr. Trump outmanoeuvreing him.

The problem with Mr. Sanders seems to be, though he is making facades of a "Socialist" and a "fighter against the Wall Street", he seems to have already compromised on the issue, though he is not announcing it to the outside world. In the 240 years of American History, none of the American Presidents had to fight that type of a Virtual Civil War, which can lead to more far reaching consequences than the Real Military Civil War of the Lincoln Days. If Mr. Sanders decides to face the Corporate World with a straight sword, he will become the First American President to become the Champion of the people in gutters.

Had Mr. Sanders foreseen such possibilities, he ought to have started his preliminary campaign itself as a very very low cost Campaign. At every stage, he ought to have cut expenditure by 75% of the normal spendings.

But, one thing appears to be true. He did what which the previous Campaigners never bothered about. HERE is a quote from vetsforbernie.org which reports that Bernie Sanders paid overtime to Marshal Town Police for the security arrangements. (Click to go to go to vetsforbernie.org.)

IOWA (VFB) — When Presidential candidates come to town, local police departments spring into action to ensure not only that candidate’s safety, but the safety of the public and everyone involved. Substantial time and resources are spent planning and executing such events, which if not reimbursed by the campaigns, must be covered by local taxpayers.

"...I think a lot of people just assume that those costs are being reimbursed, and they aren’t," Marshalltown, IA Police Chief Mike Tupper, told me over the phone Tuesday afternoon.

"...I am happy to report that Bernie Sanders paid."

"...Not only did Sanders pay, 'He actually asked up front how much, and he paid those costs, which makes him the first candidate to do so in my 23 years [of law enforcement in Iowa].' Not only did Sanders pay, "...He actually asked up front how much, and he paid those costs, which makes him the first candidate to do so in my 23 years [of law enforcement in Iowa]. ..."

Hence, we need not doubt the sincerity and integrity of Mr. Sanders. Yet, there is a problem. If he accepts Corporate Funds, after winning Elections, he cannot harden his stance towards them. His softness, will make him a piece of butter for the Corporate knives.

Apart from Electoral funding, even if there is no need of electoral funding, Heads of State and , Heads of Government cannot today avoid the Corporates altogether, until TRUE AND COMPLETE SOCIALISM is implemented in TOTO. Even after execution, the Heads will have to face the problem of providing Essential needs i.e. food, clothing, shelter, education, health care to the citizen. As long as Socialist Nations can produce all their needs in STATE SECTOR, WITHIN THE COUNTRY, the Socialist Citizens will be happy.

But, for numerous reasons such as crop failures, natural calamities, political upheavals in neighboring countries, every country whether Socialist or Capitalist is bound to face domestic shortages, which are to be met through imports.

If Socialist Citizens can live happily, limiting their demands and needs to the bearest, a Socialist Nation can survive. But the neighboring Capitalist countries will not allow a Socialist country to exist. It will be an eyesore for them. There is no place for "contentment and satisfaction" in Capitalist countries. Nor they can tolerate such "contentment and satisfaction" which does not exist in their own countries, to exist in Socialist countries.

Anyway, let Mr. Sanders cross the first post, i.e. win the Democratic Nomination.

679 How can there be a Socialist who wants to scrap ban on marijuana?

Loss of Mr. Bernie Sanders to Ms. Hillary Clinton, in South Carolina, for the Democratic Candidature, by very large margin, need not cause much worry to the sympathizers of Socialism around the world, nor his Victory should generate unbound enthusiasm. Reason: American and European Socialist Pretentions need not be taken seriously, though the very concept of Socialism was born in Europe. The nature of American and European Working Class is tampered (not tempered) by the comforts and luxuries they get in Europe and America by enjoying, howsoever little they may be, the shares in the Exploits of Euro-American Capitalism. They do not mind Euro-American Capitalists creating bonded laborers in China, India, and above all Africa. When the Americans shout "We want American jobs to be brought back from China, South East Asia, and South Asia they mean that only non-sweat cushy, sweety, jobs are to be brought back, and not the hazardous and sweaty jobs.

While I am unable to trace any speech of Mr. Bernie Sanders which promises that he is going to bring back to U.S., all the U.S. jobs which were ported earlier to South East Asia, such promises quite common by Donald Trump seem to get enormous support from Americans of all "hues".

Whether the world likes it or not, or whether the Americans like it or not, whether the American Whites like it or not, the fact remains, U.S. is latently divided on Racial Lines, just as India is divided on Religious and casteist lines.

Every American Presidential Candidate overtly or covertly tries to appeal to his prospective vote bank, as can be seen by this quote from the speech of Mr. Bernie Sanders: Link to read the whole news: Link: Click to go to npr.org.

"We will defeat Mr. Trump," he told the crowd, "because the American people do not want a president who insults Mexicans, who insults Muslims, women, African-Americans. Who insults veterans, and basically anybody who does not look or be like him."

.

The problem with most politicians is, to which Mr. Bernie Sanders does not appear to be exempt is, they will go to any extent to woo their existing voters, prospective voters. Suppose the voters are young, they do not know the evils of drugging, they are under a temptation to cultivate smoking marijuana, then the Presidential Candidate will promise to scrap the ban on drugs. My readers will pl. se this quote:

"...We have large numbers of lives that have been destroyed because of this war on drugs and because people were caught smoking marijuana and so forth...”

"...I think we have got to end the war on drugs...I am not unfavorably disposed to moving toward the legalization of marijuana."

What type of Socialism a Presidential Candidate can promote in U.S.A., by legalising marijuana? He will be promoting only the businesses of Drug maphia, knowingly or unknowingly. If there corruption or irregularities in the administration of ban on narcotic drugs, a True Socialist should try to plug the loopholes, and try to enforce it with great sincerity and vigor. He will not play with the future of the Youth, by allowing drugs to be sold everywhere like pizzas and hamburgers of which the Americans are fond of, and facilitate them get delivered at home using drones. If a Doctor cannot cure a disease, he should at least avoid aggravating it.

Of course, the rival of Mr. Sanders, Ms. Hillary Clinton may not be different, as can be seen from her (indirect) performances in the Clinton Administration and Obama Administration. There are not just two choices for Americans "the Devil" and the "Deep Sea".

Anyway, there is no need for Americans to worry about allowing or not allowing marijuana cultivation. Their first President, Late George Washington himself, is reported to have cultivated marijuana, as a cure or palliative for tooth ache.

According to News Reports Mr. Donald Trump tried to quote Mahatma Gandhi, and ended up misquoting him. The problem with most Europeans and Americans is, they do not know much about Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Why write of Europeans and Americans? Even most Indians know very little about Mr. M.K. Gandhi.

669 Part 1, A comparison of American Elections and Indian Elections भाग १ अमॆरिकन चुनाव और भारतीय चुनाव के एक तुलनात्मक अध्ययन భాగం ౧ అమెరికా ఎన్నికలు, భారత ఎన్నికలు పోలికల పరిశీలన

American Presidential Candidature aspirants of both the principal parties i.e. Democratic and Republican Parties, have to mobilise millions of dollars for their Campaigns. While Donald Trump the apparent Winning Horse of the Republican Party, himself being a billionnaire estimated to have a networth of $5 billion to $10 billion, may not face a problem of fund-crunch. Ms. Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady of U.S., and the former Secretary of State, seems to have close connections with Wall Street, and hence she may not find funds for Campaigning a problem. But, ordinarily, this should not be the case for her principal Competitor Mr. Bernie Sanders.

Prima facie, Mr. Bernie Sanders appears to be a millionnaire, which means he can be anywhere between $1 million to $999.99 million. A $1 million person is a millionnaire. A $999.99 person is a millionnaire. Is there no difference? There is a near thousand-fold difference.

Of course, whether it is in U.S.A., or in India, or probably anywhere else in the world, no politician worth his salt, will spend in Elections from his pockets. Only fools will do. Hence, Dollars mobilised through Fund Mobilisation Drives, will play a key role. Then, automatically, there will be a problem of what is disclosed , and what is not disclosed.

More than 3/4ths of Mr. Bernie Sanders Campaign funds were said to have been mobilised from small donors, giving less than $200 each. There is also another claim, that most of his Campaign donations are of less than $50 per head. This information is not convincing.

In India also, Political Parties claim, mobilising bulk of their Election Funds from small donors of less than Rs. 20,000 each ($300 approx.), as it is legally mandatory to disclose names of donors, where individual donations are > Rs. 20,000/-.

We can only say "American Hypocracies and Indian Hypocracies are like twins".

Some of the questions, which I shall try to answer in a bunch of about 10 next blog posts.

Question 1: Are American Elections relevant to Indian Democracy (largest in the World in terms of number of voters)?

Answer: American Elections, definitely are relevant to INdia, because, India no longer looks to U.K., as guide for Indian Democracy, though India is still following the system of British Model of Parliamentary Democracy. Dream of every professionally educated Indian Youth is, to make it to U.S.A. whether direct, or through any other means. Whichever such Indian goes to U.S. never comes back. On the other hand he-she will start pontificating to India, how Indians should behave and conduct themselves. NRIs vie with one another for getting US Citizenships. Once they become US Citizens (Govt. of India calls these people PIOs (Persons of Indian Origin), and showers them great honors and praises. In their turn, the PIOs try to capture some prestigious assignments from the American Presidents, a share of the spoils. Recently, it appears that donations from US-based NRIs and PIOs started contributing greatly to the Election Campaigns of various Indian Political Parties.

Indian Students, unemployed persons, I.T. Companies, Govt. of India, State Govts., everybody has some sort of craze for the WHITE-HOUSE, and its occupant.

Rise of Barack Obama, raised the expectations of the Indians during the last nine years, but nothing real or substantial, helpful to India took place. Nor did U.S., apparently benefited much from the election of Mr. Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India.

A NOTE ON ROLE OF MONEY and NEED FOR MONEY

Both United States and India are geographically vast countries, though U.S. is far larger geographically than India. But then, the number of voters to be contacted in India are many times higher than the number of voters in U.S. Consequently, the financial burden which falls on aspirants will be nearly equal.

In United States, the system of Parties deciding their Presidential Candidates through some democratic method, needs to be emulated in India. In India, there is no democratic method for parties to select their "Prime Ministerial" Candidates by conducting polls from Lok Sabha Constituency Level. Though, theoretically, after the announcement of Election Results, Members of Parliament belonging to the Majority Party (or the single largest party) are supposed to elect their leader who will approach the President of India for forming a Government, it has become a ritual for dynastic politics.

Though BJP does not ostensibly profess dynastic politics, yet it has no bottom-to-top democratic method of electing a Prime Ministerial Candidate for the Party. The method followed by BJP in 2014 General Elections is a sort of coterie (grupo / circulo social), for pre-announcing of Mr. Narendra Modi as PM Candidate, and definitely not a democratic method.

Both in US, as well as in India, much money is required for organising Rallies and Road Shows, Chartered Aircraft, Cutouts and Flexies etc. etc. Need for money leads to dependence on Business Empires and Industrialists for secret donations. Theoretically, industrialists do not and will not like to fund Campaigns of Communists and True Socialists, unless an assurance is given to them that if elected, Communist MPs will also work to promote donor interests.

Like the Parties in US, the Parties in India also preach a lot and violate a lot. For example, AAP Leader, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal raised some hopes after his phoenix-like revival-resurrection in Delhi Assembly Elections. He proved to be a concealed dictator, like a wolf in a goat's skin. For example, AAP Government seems to be paying large amounts for publication of Special Supplements in South Indian Newspapers, to advertise their achievements in ruling Delhi. It is nothing but waste of money belonging to THE CITIZENS OF DELHI. What is the advertising budget of AAP Government in Delhi? Rs. 526 crore (about $90 million!). The hidden Agenda in this is: AAP wants to expand into South India.

A lot to write more.

Mr. Bernie SAnders is one of the top contenders for the American Presidential Candidature from Democratic Party, in United States. He positions himself to be a Socialist (Socialist Democrat). In his Campaigns, he restrains himself from disclosing in depth, what type of Socialism he is going to induct into the predominantly Capitalist United States.

"...I don’t believe government should take over the grocery store down the street or own the means of production, but I do believe that the middle class and the working families who produce the wealth of America deserve a decent standard of living and that their incomes should go up, not down. I do believe in private companies that thrive and invest and grow in America, companies that create jobs here, rather than companies that are shutting down in America and increasing their profits by exploiting low-wage labor abroad...."

The Greatness of Mr. Bernie Sanders, can at least be found, in one thing. His capability to maintain equi-distance from both Democrats and Republicans. He, contesting as an Independent Candidate, got elected as Mayor of Burlington City Council defeating both Democratic and Republican Party Candidates. It is not clear whether American Constitution permits Independent Candidates in the Presidential Elections, apart from the Traditional Parties of Democratic and Republican Parties. If it permits, I would have wished that Mr. Sanders ought to have contested as an Independent Candidate, instead of as a Democratic Nominee.

Reason: Both Democratic and Republican Parties in United States, are bourgeosie parties. Whatever be their pretences of Liberalism, essentially they are stooges of Capitalists. In this respect, there is not much difference between Indian Political Parties and the American Political Parties. Both depend on legal and illegal secret donations from Business Tycoons and Industrialists.

Though, prima facie, the politicians both in North America and Europe, who claim to be Socialists, Social Democrats, Democratic Socialists etc., basically they are not Socialists in true sense. They are only Conservatives, at the most, with a Leftist strain, not enough to call them Socialists. This experience we have had a taste in 2015, in the Greece Economic Crisis.

But, if the political history of Bernie Sanders placed in Wikipaedia is not concocted or window-dressed by somebody who happens to be a part of his Campaign Staff / Contractors or his Sympathizers, there is enough material to show that he seems to have at least some Socialist ideas, when compared to European Socialist Claimants, including the British Labor Leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

However, the quote given be me above , taken from Wikipaedia, does not justify that deduction or inference. His words do not differ much from the words of our own bourgeoisie political leaders in India.

One probable possible reason for reluctance of Mr. Sanders to come out openly with purer, more radical and stronger views may be owing to perceived allergies of American Middle Class voters who are supposed to abhor Communism, Marxism and Socialism. About the Proletarian voters in United States and the Proletarian voters in India, they seem to have similar behaviors, beliefs, actions and reactions.

There is one news item, and one article worthy of reading by Indians who wish to spend sometime on searching facts:

1. News item: Today (30.4.2015) The Hindu.

Click to go to http://www.dawn.com/news/1178616/colour-of-the-mice-to-catch


The news item is of very serious nature. New York Post, a tabloid published from U.S., revealed quoting from a forthcoming book "Clinton Cash", that Ms. Hillary Clinton's Clinton Foundation received $1 million to $5 million from Amar Singh.

At that time, Ms. Clinton was a Senator, and was a co-chair of Senate India caucus. Ms. Clinton supported passing in Senate, of the Indo-US Civil Nuclear Deal. It was already passed in US Congress with overwhelming majority.


Of course, Clinton Foundation and Ms. Clinton's Campaign (Election campaign for US Presidential candidature of Democratic Party) "have strongly refuted the suggestions of any wrongdoings."

As per American Law, Ms. Hillary Clinton might not have done anything wrong.  

Many Telugu readers do not know who Amar Singh is. For their benefit: He used to be No. 2 in the Samajvadi Party, led by Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav. Ms. Jayaprada, veteran film-star migrated to U.P. to work under Mr. Amar Singh, and she became an MP in U.P. State. After Mr. Amar Singh left Samajvadi Party, Ms. Jayaprada came back to Andhra Pradesh. She is now searching for greener pastures.

Countries of the world paying lobbyist American Congress (equivalent of Indian Lok Sabha) Members, American Senate (=Rajya Sabha) Members, to work on their behalf to get things done at White House, American Congress, Senate, is quite common. It is not illegal in U.S. Donations to Trusts administered by Congress members and Senators in exchange for work done in U.S., is also common.

In India also, this type of payments may be common, though lobbying is illegal.


Sometimes, it may be necessary, in National interest.


Acceptance of Indo US Civil Nuclear Deal pertains to the reign of Mr. Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister. We have to wait and see, what he is going to say.


In U.S.A., this revelation may be used by the opponents of Ms. Hillary Clinton, to spoil her chances of Democratic Party nomination. In India, this news item can be used as a stick, by BJP to beat Congress and Manmohan Singh.

Mrs. Indira Gandhi, used to say that Corruption was a universal phenomenon.  శ్రీమతి ఇందిరా గాంధీ గారు అవినీతి ప్రపంచమంతా ఉంది, సర్వాంతర్యామి అనేవారు (మనం పట్టించుకోకూడదని భావం).

For everything got done in USA, countries pay.  How can India be an exception?  For example to get an invitation from White House to visit USA, Heads of Nations (or their Embassies) have to pay bribes (euphemism: lobbying).   Mr. Barack Obama wrote a great eulogy in praise of Mr. Narendra Modi, recently, in New York Times.  I personally believe that somebody might have lobbied and paid some keyperson  in US Whit House to get this piece written and published.

ఇది భాజపాకు గానీ, భారత ప్రధానికి గానీ, భారత ప్రభుత్వానికి గానీ, తెలియకుండానే, అమెరికాలో జరిగి ఉండవచ్చు.  ఎలాగంటే అమెరికా దగ్గర భారత్ వేల కోట్ల విలువ చేసే, బోయింగ్ మొ || విమానాలు కొనాలి.  పాత అణు విద్యుత్ కేంద్రాల  యంత్రాలు కొనాలి.   ఇరాక్ దగ్గర క్రూడ్ కొనటం మానేసి, అమెరికా దగ్గర షేల్ ఇంధనం కొనాలి.  మెక్ డో వెల్ పిజ్జాలు కొనాలి.  కోకాకోలా , పెప్సీ నీళ్ళు ౧౩౦ కోట్లమందికీ అలవాటు చేయాలి.  ఇవన్నీ చేయించాలంటే, భారత్ తో పని ఉన్న ఏ   అమెరికన్ కంపెనీ వాళ్ళైనా,  వైట్ హౌస్ లో కీలక వ్యక్తులకు,  డాలర్లలో చెల్లింపులు చేసి ఉండవచ్చు.
