914 When will the Communists / Marxists / True Socialists fill this void in this Unipolar Politico-Economic World?

Everybody knows in this unipolar world, there is a philosophical and practical vacuum in the politico-economic sphere. IN SPITE OF ITS EXPLOITATIVE NATURE, Capitalism is ruling the roust. The peculiarity of Capitalism is, its tentacles overlap every other activity in the world including Religion which is supposed to be neither political, nor economic. Besides, Capitalism will not have any scruples, while everybody tries to accumulate moolah by hook or crook in the shortest time. In the process, porn, drugs, homicides, genocides, patricides, fraticides, occupy center space. Everything gets reversed. Non-essential goods become essential, like food, clothing. And essential goods become non-essential. From 1917 Bolshevik Revolution times to the 1949 the Chinese Revolution times, there were expectations that Communism / Marxism / Socialism will find some solace to the suffering masses. Unfortunately, both the Russian and Chinese Models of Communism failed to live upto expectations.

After the collapse of the erstwhile U.S.S.R., and its East European allies in 1991, and the volta facie of China from the Communist path, there is a huge vacuum in the ideological arena which is yet to be filled. Okay, Communism and Communists were dirty denizens of hell and hungry ghosts. But what next, if not Communism / Marxism / Total Socialism ? During the period, dozens of Economists have won Economics Nobel Prizes. Yet, none of the Nobel Laureates could come up with an alternative model to replace the Capitalist Monstrasities, even if conceding that Russian Monstrasities and Chinese Monstrasities will not work. What happened for the outstanding creative and intellectual capabilities of the NObel Laureates, nobody knows! Probably, after receiving the Nobel Prize at the pulpits of the Capitalist Priests, the pandits might have lost their sense of direction, magnitude or zeal.

In India, there is a greater vacuum. Both UPA and NDA failed miserably. In the 2014 May General election for INdian Lok Sabha, people graced great victory to BJP. Two classes of people have contributed to the victory of Mr. Narendra Modi. 1. Religious Hindu fanatics and pseudo Hindutva bigots who were waiting for "achchE din" since the days of Nathuram Godse. 2. Those who were extremely unhappy with the corrupt and misrule by Congress. The candle of Indian Intellect is burning from both the ends, engulfed by overzealous religious charlatans who do not know anything about religion masquerading as sadhus and sants, and the Growth Experts of Share Market Economics who do not know what happens in Indian villages, and nooks and corners of India Cities.

INDIAN COMMUNIST PARTIES ARE NOT READY TO FILL THIS VOID, WHILE THE SOCIALISTS OF EARLY INDEPENDENCE DECADES COOLLY LEFT THIS PLANET

The bane of the Indian Communists is that they could not liberate themselves from their bondage to China, in spite of knowing pretty well that China is no longer a Communist country.

MISERABLE FAILURE OF INDIAN COMMUNISTS EVEN AT PROVINCIAL AND GRASS ROOTS LEVEL

CPIM by its bourgeoisie habits lost its hold in West Bengal. In Kerala, though CPM is in power lading a Front, it has learnt all the life-styles and mind-sets of bourgeoisie parties. In Telugu language, there is a proverb "Aaru nelalu sahavAsam cEstE aTu vALLu iTu avutAru, iTu vALLu aTu avutAru". Its English gist is, if people make friendships for six months, people on "this side" will become "people on that side", and those on "that side" will become people of this side. By giving Rice @ Rs. 1 per kg., by giving 3 BH houses, laptops, smart phones, numerous freebies, bourgeoisie parties are showing the traits of Leftist Parties, thus displacing the Left Parties from their niche places. Here is a link to a Huffingtonpost.in News Report which says that: "Don't Call The CPM In Kerala Communists, Call Them Social Democrats", Click here to go to http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/05/31/cpm-kerala-communists-soc_n_10217714.html . A quote from this report is worth studying:

"...Marxists would certainly detest being called social democrats because ideology is what they wax eloquent about and what gives them cover. Everything they do, whether it’s an alleged political murder or taking advertisements from homegrown crony-capitalists, are ideologically sanitised by their formal and informal network of supporters and proxies. Everything, according to them, is part of their long-term plan of a revolutionary project.

Being a mutualist with the neoliberal marketplace is therefore their unavoidable strategy for the triumph of the working class. But, Marxism is certainly not social democracy.

Marxists would certainly detest being called social democrats because ideology is what they wax eloquent about and what gives them cover.

One of the early trends that the media picked up since the CPM came to power in Kerala is the spate of announcements welcoming big businesses to invest in Kerala, encouraging public-private partnerships, and even kickstarting infrastructure projects that have long been shelved for environmental and feasibility reasons. “Left goes right” said a Times of India headline while the Indian Express said “Pinarayi Vijayan’s new Kerala: Silicon Valley-type hubs. A Malayalam newspaper headline quoted the industries minister saying all monopolies are welcome to the state. ..."

Question: Should we call Indian Communists Democrats?

Ans: Indian Communists, are on par with their bourgeoisie counterparts, as far as LACK OF INTERNAL DEMOCRACY in their parties is concerned. Essential pre-requisite quality for a democrat is, ABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO TOLERATE EXPRESSION OF DISSENT. Indian Communist Parties have, all the traits needed by tyrannical parties. When dissent is not tolerated, and leaders are imposed from above, though ostensibly through unanimous elections, where the official top-sponsored candidate is never challenged, for fear of being alienated and isolated.

Top Communist Leaders shout from roof tops that their parties will not give any value to caste, religion, and local-non-local origin of individuals. That is theory, not intended for practice. Like bourgeoisie parties, they to have their caste/religion/local-non-local preferences, apart from being the sycophants and cronies of the top-leaders. There is nothing wrong, if a political party tries to stall unwanted unscrupulous persons joining their parties, and getting elected party posts. Unscrupulous persons with their mobs entering parties, hyjacking the party elections, bring out a split, stake claims for ownership of party buildings are rather abominal. All the prestigious concrete party buildings raised with the patronage from Ruling Parties through free land, free / cheap sand, cement , steel etc. when they change hand and go into the management of hyjackers, it may cause lot of agony to the promoters, Central and State Leaders. Such situations are not rare, it happened in 1962 India, when Communists split into CPI and CPIM.

For other bourgeoisie parties, totally hyjacking of party's buildings, cash reserves, and capturing their possession, by physically dominant and violent party-factions-leaders is quite common. For example, in Uttar Pradesh Mulayam Singh Yadav and his associates built the Samajvadi Party's assets (such as buildings, bank accounts etc.). But, a relatively a new entrant Akhilesh Yadav and his MLAs could easily hijack them. Natual justice requires that assets of the party are to be shared by both the factions. But, "majority MLAs" (in case of State Level Parties) or "Majority MPs" (in case of National Level Parties) seem to capture the party assets with the active co-operation of Election Commission and Courts.

It happened in 1969 in Congress. The Assets of the Indian National Congress were built over several decades by many generations of leaders. But their assets were snatched away by Mrs. Indira Gandhi and her faction.

It happened in 1994 in TDP. Late Senior NT Rama Rao founded the Telugu Desam Party from the scratch. But, the party, and its assets were snatched away by the MLAs led by Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu.

SHRI TAMMINENI VEERABHADRAM, GENERAL SECRETARY OF TELANGANA STATE CPIM

We have to wait and see what Shri Tammineni Veerabhadram, the General Secretary of the Telangana State who is on a strenuous walkathlon (pAdayAtra) is going to do after completion of his onerous task. !!!

"...CPM state leadership is making efforts to resolve differences cropped up between the two groups in Warangal Urban district unit." --- party in-charge state secretary, G Nagaiah.

"...The attack on the party office on Saturday by some persons as sad..."

"...There are several means to redress one’s grievance on party platform but vandalising the office is not proper. ..."

"... Expelled persons can approach the state committee or the central committee seeking reprieve. ..."

"... In CPM, there is no local and non-local candidate, those chosen by the majority will be made district secretary. If the rival group is against the election, it has to pursue the matter patiently by presenting their case before the party leadership. ..."

ybrao-a-donkey's observations, which are not intended to be imposed on others

1. On numerous occasions, CPI and CPIM have behaved like local parties taking up local issues. For example, CPI's Secretary Mr. Narayana supported Telangana Movement and spoke like a TRS leader. CPIM Secretary Shri Ramakrishna is very keen on getting Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh.

Do CPI and CPIM have the system of elections which are conducted using secret ballots? Is that Mr. Vasudeva Reddy who has been imposed as District Secretary of Warangal, elected through secret ballot? Is everybody in the Party permitted freely to contest elections?

Ordinarily, Communist Parties in at least 25 States of India, do not have prospects of coming to power, or becoming the Main Opposition Parties. But all over the country, they have valuable buildings, shops, other assets. (In Telugu langauge, there is an idiom called "Shivalayam = Lord Shiva Temple", as against the opposite "VishNvAlayam = Lord VishNu's Temple". Traditionally, most Shiva Temples were poor. VishNu Temples are rich. Hence, robbers do not venture to burglar in Shiva Temples, where there will only be a phallus, some sacred water, and lot of ash. Communist Parties are like Shiva Temples. Supposed to be poor. In Shiva Temples, this trend is gradually changing. In Communist Party Offices also, things are changing rapidly, with computers, smart phones, glossy furniture, entering the scene.

Like Temples, if Communist Parties acquire and accumulate big buildings, rich paraphernalia, they will become attractions from unscrupulous persons who may enter the party to control the assets. This sort of thing, might have happened at Sundaraiah Bhavan, Warangal also, the CPIM's Office.

Tailpiece
Both BJP and CPIM parties claim they have disciplined workers. Do they really have disciplined workers?
