Communism ; A freak show ( rant ).
A man dies and goes to hell. There he discovers that he has a choice: he can go to capitalist hell or to communist hell. Naturally, he wants to compare the two, so he goes over to capitalist hell. There outside the door is the devil, who looks a bit like Ronald Reagan. "What’s it like in there?" asks the visitor. "Well," the devil replies, "in capitalist hell, they flay you alive, then they boil you in oil and then they cut you up into small pieces with sharp knives."
"That’s terrible!" he gasps. "I’m going to check out communist hell!" He goes over to communist hell, where he discovers a huge queue of people waiting to get in. He waits in line. Eventually he gets to the front and there at the door to communist hell is a little old man who looks a bit like Karl Marx. "I’m still in the free world, Karl," he says, "and before I come in, I want to know what it’s like in there."
"In communist hell," says Marx impatiently, "they flay you alive, then they boil you in oil, and then they cut you up into small pieces with sharp knives."
But… but that's the same as capitalist hell!" protests the visitor, "Why such a long queue?"
"Well," sighs Marx, "Sometimes we're out of oil, sometimes we don't have knives, sometimes no hot water…"
Communism ; A joke
Three years after the Russian Revolution, an Austrian economist, Ludwig von Mises, argued that Communism would fail and explained why. Communism, or socialism, couldn’t succeed, Mises wrote in 1920, because it had abolished free markets so that officials had no market prices to guide them in planning production. Mises was relatively unknown when he made his controversial forecast, but he acquired some international renown later as the leading spokesman of the Austrian (free market) school of economics.Since his death in 1973, his theories have gained new adherents, some now even in Eastern Europe.
The Soviet Union was launched with high hopes. Planning was to be done by a central committee, insuring plenty for everyone. The state was to wither away. But things didn’t work out that way. The Soviet state soon became one of the most oppressive in the world. Millions of Russians starved in the 1920s and 1930s.
As Mises pointed out, the raw materials, labor, tools, and machines used in socialist production are outside the market. They are owned by government and controlled by government planners. No one can buy or sell them. No market prices can develop for them because they aren’t exchangeable.
Modern production is time-consuming and complicated. Producers must consider alternatives when deciding what to produce. And they must consider various means of production when deciding how to produce. Raw materials, tools, and machines must be devoted to the most urgent projects and not wasted on less urgent ones.
Consider, for instance, the planning of a new railroad. Should it be built at all? If so, where? And how? Is building the railroad more urgent than constructing a bridge, building a dam to produce electricity, developing oil fields, or cultivating more land? No central planner, even with a staff of statisticians, could master the countless possibilities. Machines might be substituted to some extent for labor; wood, aluminum, or new synthetic materials might be substituted for iron. But how will the planners decide?
To make these decisions, planners must know the relative values—the exchange ratios or market prices—of the countless factors of production involved. But when these factors are government-owned, there are no trades, and thus, no market prices. Without market prices, the planners have no clues as to the relative values of iron, aluminum, lumber, the new synthetics, or of railroads, oil fields, farm land, power plants, bridges, or housing. Without market prices for the factors of production, the planners are at a loss as to how to coordinate and channel production to satisfy the most urgent needs of consumers.
More than 70 years have passed since the Russian Revolution and 45 years since the end of World War n. Why then do the Russian people still lack adequate housing and many everyday items? Why does agricultural produce rot in the fields for lack of equipment to harvest and transport it? Why are factories and oil fields so poorly maintained that production declines? Because the raw materials, tools, machines, factories, and farms are not privately owned.
In a competitive economy, where factors of production are privately owned, these problems are solved daily as owners calculate the monetary values of the various factors and then buy, sell, and trade them as seems desirable, As Mises wrote in 1920, “Every step that takes us away from private ownership of the means of production and from the use of money also takes us away from rational economics.”
Communism ; An ignominy in the face of India.
Story of Bengali Hindu holocaust.
The movement for India’s independence was a protracted struggle that encapsulated varying ideologies and walks working towards attaining total deliverance from British rule. It was neither led by a single leader nor did it overhaul a single ideological hegemony. The Communist Party of India (CPI) was one such organisation that left an obtrusive footprint upon the history of the mass independence movement, for reasons good and bad.
Based on historical and anecdotal evidence one can decipher that the CPI for most of the time between 1942 and 1947, advanced a collaborationist attitude towards the British Raj and the Muslim League alike.
The CPI was opposed to India’s independence movement from day one. In the first World Congress of the Communist International held in Moscow in 1920, the Programme of the International called Gandhiism a philosophy that was fast emerging as a stumbling block in the way of a people’s revolution.
A motion in the sixth International held in 1928, also in Moscow, pointed out that it was the duty of all communists in India to expose the Congress in India, and to resist the efforts of Swarajists, Gandhians and Congressmen of all hues.
Detangling Gandhi-Adhikari conspiracy .
The communists implied independence as the deliverance of the working classes from bourgeois exploitation which could be attained by overthrowing of the capitalist order through a socialist revolution and substituting it with the ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’.
The Congress and the communists were always at ideological loggerheads with each other. The communists perceived the Gandhian movement as a bourgeois struggle and transfer of power as replacement of colonialism with that of neo-colonialism, where imperialist interests would be served better.
When the clamour for Pakistan by the Muslim League, on the basis of Jinnah’s two-nation theory was warming up, and Congress leaders were in jail following the uprising of August 1942, the CPI released a ‘thesis’, drafted by Gangadhar Adhikari.
The substance of the thesis was that there was no such nation as India, that India was really a conglomeration of as many as eighteen different ‘nationalities’ and that each one of these nationalities had the right to secede from the conglomeration. The communist understanding was that Muslims would be oppressed by the Hindus in united India and that the League had become ‘progressive’.
Supporting Jinnah’s demand for Pakistan, the communists argued that secession, far from dismembering the country, would “lead to still greater and more glorious unity of India, the like of which India has not seen in her history.”
The Pakistan Resolution was passed in the Lahore Convention of the Muslim League in 1940. At this point, it is necessary to take a look at the role played by the Communist Party of India at this juncture and later. This is because, as will be seen, the Indian Communists, in order to secure political gains, wholeheartedly supported the demand for Pakistan voiced by the Muslim League.
When every street and corner of Bengal echoed with the cries of ‘Ladke Lenge Pakistan’, the Communist Party extended its full support to the Pakistan Movement and even betrayed Hindus during the ghastly Direct Action Day. They were adamant on maintaining that the demand for Pakistan was a precondition for the transfer of power. The maiden meeting of the Muslim League that was held in the Ochterlony Monument Ground in Calcutta on the Direct Action Day of 16 August 1946 resounded with inflammatory anti-Hindu sloganeering and speeches.
The meeting was attended by Jyoti Basu, Leader of the CPI in Bengal Legislative Assembly and two other communist MLAs. The communists adopted a uniquely dialectical position with regard to the Direct Action Day. The Muslim League gave a call for a bandh on that day in Calcutta and the League Chief Minister of Bengal, H S Suhrawardy declared a holiday in the State with the obvious intent of facilitating the bandh and all that comes with it.
But the communists displayed a reverse sagacity that was hard to match, as the leader of the CPI in the Bengal Assembly, Jyoti Basu, in a press release declared — displaying the quintessential dialectical vision that eventually succeeded in duping many for decades — that “the CPI would try to keep the state peaceful on that day, with a strike where necessary and without a strike where necessary”. He appealed not to precipitate any clash between the ‘brothers’ (Hindu and Muslim workers) and ‘make a common stand against the common foe’ (Britishers and their ‘bourgeois collaborators’).
According to eye witness accounts, as the zealous Muslim fundamentalists resorted to arson, loot and all sorts of mayhem in the name of Muslim separatism, Jyoti Basu fled the meeting as the situation had by then gone out of control. The protagonists of Pakistan pounced upon the Hindu citizens as they were presumed to be the votaries of undivided India.
The riot continued in full swing for five days – from the 16th to the 20th August 1946. According to The Statesman, over 4000 people were killed and over 15000 injured during the riots, and over 270 killed and 1600 injured in two days since the riots started.
As the Hindus of Calcutta started organising themselves and put up a gallant resistance to the Muslim rioters, Premier Suhrawardy was forced to call in the military on 17 August. The communist leaders were left aghast at the Hindu retaliation, and momentarily switched sides. To be on the safer side, few communist leaders including Jyoti Basu contributed to the ‘peace committees that took the work of restoring communal harmony.
This was an ‘eyewash’ for many while for some this was sheer ‘damage control’. There was a feeling among the upper rungs of the CPI that further passivity would push the communists to the margins of political untouchability and alienation. It would have taken no longer to turn the repulsive Hindu tide against the vulnerable communists. Though the damage had already been done yet better late than never!
The non-League Trade Union that did join the Muslim League’s call for Direct Action Day was the CPI-controlled Tramway Workers’Union. The workers of this union had a four-hour-long session at the University Institute Hall with its Muslim comrade, Mohammed Ismail presiding.
During the 1946 election campaign in Raipur, Central Provinces, the same Mohammed Ismail had drawn the mass attention to the Pakistan demand of the League and explained the stance of his party vis-a-vis the League demand. For Ismail, Pakistan demand was a ‘natural outcome of the freedom urge of the Muslims’.
Under him, the CPI decided to observe 16August as a strike to maintain Hindu-Muslim workers’solidarity. The communist trade union observed complete bandh in several petroleum, steel, iron and jute factories of Bengal.
Communist leadership had advocated for Pakistan and handing over the entire Bengal to Pakistan, however, the grassroots workers were realising the folly of this stand. The industrialised localities of Calcutta had a strong presence of communist trade unions.
Dr Kalyan Dutta, a communist ideologue and professor, noted in his autobiography that in the Khidirpur the Hindu communist workers were attacked by their Muslim party-comrades on the fateful day of 17 August 1946. The communist textile union leader Syed Abdullah Farooqui along with Muslim hardliner Elian Mistry led an armed Muslim band into the Kesoram Cotton Mills in the slums of Lichubagan, near Khidirpur in Calcutta.
The Hindu workers were utterly perplexed. They did show their party membership card to their Muslim comrades and begged for their own lives. Their lives, however, were not spared. According to conservative estimates, not less than 400 (500-600 according to other reports) Hindu labourers, mostly Oriyas, were killed. This is the largest reported anti-Hindu massacre in the whole series of Great Calcutta Killings.
It goes without saying that the Hindu members of communist trade unions had to face the brunt of Muslim fundamentalist fury that was offered a free hand by their party barons. The Khidirpur incident was a sordid chapter enunciating the totalizing effect of the Direct Action Day. The communist determinism of ‘class struggle’ could not restrain their Muslim members from taking up the cause of Pakistan- a call for ‘religious struggle’.
In 1946, the composition of the Bengal Legislative Assembly was as follows: Muslim League: 116; Congress: 62; Hindu Mahasabha: 1; Depressed Castes: 30 (including 24 Congress members) and; Communist Party: 3.
The three communist MLAs were- Jyoti Basu from Syedpur; Rupnarayan Roy from Dinajpur and Ratanlal Brahman from Darjeeling. The communist legislators defied the united Hindu call for Suhrawardy’s resignation in the Bengal Legislative Assembly and voted in an unprincipled manner that facilitated the League.
On 19 September 1946, the Congress moved two no-confidence motions against the Muslim League in the Bengal Legislative Assembly. One was against the ministry in general and another against Premier Suhrawardy in particular.
Participating in this debate Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the Hindu Mahasabha Leader, gave the longest speech in the House on 20 September 1946 wherein he strongly attacked both the Government and the Premier. However, the role played by the Communist Party during the two-day long debate in the Assembly exposed the nefarious nexus between the communists and Leaguers.
Jyoti Basu, the CPI Leader who later became the Chief Minister of West Bengal, said before the House that the British Imperialists, who were looking after Indian administration, were the main criminals for the communal riots and pointed out the fact that while the Sindh Governor disallowed the declaration of holiday on 16 August, the Bengal Governor did the contrary in Calcutta.
Basu and his party unquestionably played the role of a League collaborationist and a genocide apologist within the Assembly. In the guise of attacking the British Governor of Bengal for inciting Leaguers to riot freely, he preserved silence on the flagitious role played by Suhrawardy in orchestrating the anti-Hindu pogrom in the heart of the provincial capital. CPI legislator Rupnarayan Roy went to the extent of proposing a resolution to condemn the stridently anti-League stand Syama Prasad Mukherjee took in the floor of the House.
Both the motions were put to vote on 20 September 1946. The motion against the Premier was defeated by 130 to 85 votes, while the motion against the government was also defeated by 131 to 87.
86 Congress members and 1 Hindu Mahasabha member voted in bloc against the Suhrawardy government. All the 3 communist members (Basu, Roy and Brahman) remained ‘neutral’; voting neither for nor against the Muslim League.
In spite of their failure in the face of the brute majority of the Muslims in the Bengal Legislative Assembly gifted by the Communal Award of 1932, the most striking thing about the no-confidence motion was how the opposition, irrespective of their political affiliations, spoke in one voice. Whether the Congress or Mahasabha, they all criticised the ministry in one voice for their failure to adequately police pickets and delay in calling the military.
However, when the whole spectrum of Hindu opinion was consolidated against the League, the communist legislators played a dismal role by adopting ‘neutrality’. What was to be deciphered was that neutrality at all costs in such an abysmal situation implied silence and, silence inferred acquiescence to the ruthlessness of the League Ministry.
Needless to say, the communist members in the Assembly were not ignorant to the atrocious designs of the League government as its direct role in the masterminding of the communal pogrom was ascertained and revealed. Yet the communist neutrality during the voting and its despicable inaction to take a stand against the Muslim League in itself proved its commitment to the pro-Pakistan effort.
Contrary to the Hindu opinion which was united against the League, the Communists backstabbed not only their electors who were largely Hindu but also quite notoriously jeopardized the unity and integrity of undivided India. The Communist Party posited the farcical excuse of ‘working-class unity’ to defend its position. In the veneer of class struggle, the communists did not dither to push the Hindu masses into the jaws of the League and henceforth jeopardise the national integrity of India.
Justifying their ‘neutral’ stand, the Communist Party’s General Secretary Puran Chand Joshi wrote to his fellow Bengali comrades on 27 August 1947, “We can vote against the Muslim League Ministry provided it does not affect our working-class base and we can carry it with ourselves through our extensive explanatory campaign… If we cannot keep up even our hold on existing organised working class, everything is lost, even for the future. Thus the best way possible to keep all in good humour was to stay neutral. Voting against the Muslim League will have other serious implications.
The grinch mentality ; Role of Communists in the Pakistan Movement.
The communists rubbing shoulders with the Muslim fundamentalists can be aptly compared with Gandhi’s support to the Khilafat Movement. Justifying the anti-British stance of the Khilafat agitators, Gandhi did not hesitate to strike a Hindu-Muslim alliance. It was a Himalayan Blunder on Gandhi’s part as the Hindus had nothing to gain from this mischievous alliance.
The deadly anti-Hindu genocide in Malabar exhibits the subtlety of the alliance. Gandhi had justified the massacre and blamed Hindus for the rise of Muslim fanaticism! Direct Action Day was nothing but the highest culmination of fanatical expression of the Muslim masses arising out of the Pakistan movement.
The Hindus were the worst sufferers of the Pakistan movement. Henceforth, the Communist Party’s justification of a common Hindu-Muslim alliance was wholly inefficacious and only pushed the Hindus into the horrid dregs of Islamist frenzy.
The lame excuses of the communists for endorsing the Pakistan movement swarmed between ‘anti-imperialism’ and ‘workers’ unity’. They believed that Pakistan was a rightful demand of the Muslim working classes. Clinging on to the principle of ‘international unity of working classes’, they argued that the Hindu working classes should concur to the political bargaining of the Muslim working classes, even at the cost of their own existence.
The communists ardently believed that the Hindu and Muslim working classes were working for a common objective i.e., a socialist revolution. They further argued that the nature of the bourgeoisie was the same everywhere and that the Muslims would be worse off in a united India as they would be compressed between neoimperialist interests on one hand and Hindu repression on the other.
Even after independence, communist ideologues like Jyoti Basu and Manikuntala Sen left no stone unturned to whitewash Muslim League’s crimes. The CPI’s espousal of Pakistan did not stop here. CPI leaders, such as Sajjad Zaheer, B.T. Ranadive, P.C. Joshi and others, actively wrote and otherwise propagandized in favour of the ‘right of secession of the Muslims of India’.
This was all before the partition actually took place. Probably the Communists expected that in the fledgling state of Pakistan they would be much better off as a party than they were in undivided India. Alas, this was not to be.
The atheist Communists with Hindu names were treated no differently from their God-fearing Hindu brethren, and with the exception of very few like Moni Singh, they had all to leave their beloved Pakistan for which they had done so much clamouring.
Acclaimed Bengali communists like Ganesh Ghosh and Kalpana Dutta- the two revolutionaries of the Chittagong Armoury Raid, and Ramen Mitra and Ilaa Mitra (organisers of the Nachole Tebhaga Uprising) had to flee Pakistan after independence. History bears testimony to the fact that the fallacious Hindu-Muslim worker’s unity was driven by a ploy to relegate Hindus into pawns at hands of Islamic fundamentalism.
The mendaciousness of Marx — Stalin ; pacts for violence in India , organsming over CPM flag.
In life, you learn nothing unless you ask the right questions. A number of Indians will rationalize the violence in Chhattisgarh and the value system of the Naxalites. You must have come across at least a couple of these people yourself. They see it as a struggle by tribal people to protect their land.
Really? First of all, do you know of any other group of people that is fighting against building of schools, hospitals, roads, railways and factories? Why would you assume that tribal communities think about life so differently? Is that not kind of insulting? Second, if the violence had nothing to do with Communism, why would Naxalites raise the Communist flag at all? Because you and I are outsiders, but Karl Marx is indigenous to the land?
Just like this bogey of tribal rights, the Communists have prepared a number of smokescreens to hide their real agenda. One of these is that you can never pin down who actually represents the Communists. They have set up dozens of closely related isms such as Marxism, Leninism, Maoism, Marxism-Leninism and the like. Each one differs from the other in unintelligible ways. The idea is that when you put the spotlight on the crimes of one, the other factions distance themselves quickly.
And yet, the Chinese Communist Party and all factions of the Communist Party in India (both legal and illegal) use nearly the same flag and have an identical set of heroes. For people who claim to be totally different, they spend an awful lot of time copying each other.
Do you know the other reason the Communists are divided into so many splinter groups? Because Communists are fundamentally intolerant. Any two people in an organization will always disagree on something or the other. But for Communists, every difference of opinion is worth killing over. You will see the same pattern with Islamic terrorists. Every jihadi faction is convinced that only they have the truth and all other factions are working for the devil.
These days, we talk a lot about dangers to our democracy. The good news is that we want to be vigilant. The bad news is that we are mostly ignoring Communism, which is the biggest danger of all. In many tribal regions such as Bastar, polling has to be completed by 3 pm so that the polling officers can leave before evening sets in. Voters in these areas are often too scared to get their fingers inked after voting. If the Communists see someone with ink on their finger, they might chop off the finger … or even the neck.
Is that a big enough danger to democracy for us to take notice? Or do we spend all our time discussing the plight of those who can make more money by resigning a job (in dramatic style) instead of doing that job? If you have failed to teach young minds about the danger of Communism, you should be fired anyway. You don’t get to resign and become a hero.
We need to stop making nonsensical excuses for Naxalism and go liberate our people living under Communist occupation in the hinterland.
Oh, and I am still not telling which flag belongs to the Communist Party of China and which one belongs to the CPI(Maoist). Mostly because it does not matter.
The unnecessary attachment of West Bengal Communists with Epar Bangla, Opar Bangla (this side of Bengal and that side of Bengal) sentiment has diverted the attention of Bengali Hindus from the real issues about them in West Bengal and East Pakistan/Bangladesh. Indians are highly critical of Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels. But Communist propaganda of West Bengal has made Goebbels a dwarf.
The refugees from East Pakistan/Bangladesh have been the main foot soldiers of Communism in West Bengal. Presently a large section of their descendants is carrying the deadly infection of Communism in the state. Following partition in 1947 and Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, millions of Bengali Hindu refugees came to West Bengal to escape from Islamic persecution.
Instead of addressing the implication of Muslim League’s Two Nation Theory during 1947-70 and West Pakistan’s attack of Bengali Hindus of East Pakistan in 1970-71, the propagandists of Communism eagerly gave those refugees the tag of proletariat and fuelled their anger against Indian Congress government at the centre and in the state. The whole lot was made violently angry against the Congress government of India by forcing them to forget their anger against the Muslims of East Pakistan.
Unlike Punjab, population transfer following partition did not happen equally in Bengal. More Hindus were compelled to leave East Pakistan to West Bengal than Muslims of West Bengal to East Pakistan. The violent Anti-Tram fare Hike Movement of 1953 and Food Movements of 1959 and 1966, under the leadership of Communists in West Bengal, could consolidate the refugees, labourers, farmers and poor people of the state under its umbrella.
The opium of Communism also made the refugees forget the real reason for their uprooting, displacement and miseries. They were made a proud part of the international community of secular proletariat. This refugee-based Communist movement was also seen in Tripura at a later stage. But in Assam it never happened, as Assam never had any love for Communism.
A number of elite Bengali Hindus who went to Britain for study between 1925 and 1947 were inducted to Communism by the famous British Marxist Rajani Palme Dutt. On the other hand, M N Roy and Abani Mukherjee from Bengal were directly involved in the famous October Revolusion of USSR and inspired a generation of Bengali Hindus to accept Communism as a religion.
It was interesting to note that Indian Communists demanded that Pakistan should be created for Muslims before independence of India. They knew that Islam was not compatible with Communism. In case of Bengal, more than 80 percent Muslims fell in East Pakistan after the partition of Bengal and that allowed the Communists of West Bengal to spread their tentacles much easily in West Bengal after 1947.
When the uproar for Pakistan by the Muslim League was warming up, and top-level Congress leaders were in jail following the Quit India Movement of 1942, the CPI released a Thesis, drafted by Gangadhar Adhikari. The substance of the thesis was that there was no such nation as ‘India’. British India had 18 distinct population groups, who could secede from India. The communist understanding was that Muslims would be oppressed by the Hindus in united India and that the Muslim League had become progressive.
After the partition of Bengal, the same Communists of West Bengal forgot their support for creation of Pakistan for Muslims and started blaming Hindu Mahasabha leader Shyama Prasad Mukherjee for the division of Bengal. The uncouth Bengali Communists of today even curse Mr. Mukherjee as Shyama Poka (a type of insect) for division of Bengal. They forget that because of Mr. Mukherjee they got West Bengal, from where they can abuse him. Otherwise, the undivided Islamic Bengal would have annihilated them long back.
Going back again, Indian Communists opposed the Quit India Movement of 1942. They even opposed the division of India at the last moment and abstained from the celebration of independence of India on 15 August 1947. On the socio-political front, Indian Communists started crying Ye Azadi Jhoota Hai after India became independent.
Communists always tried to keep the water muddy for their political fishing. Before independence, Communist movement had a strong base in Bengal, Bombay and Punjab. But after independence, they got the most fertile ground in West Bengal by enticing Bengali Hindu refugees, labourers and poor rural people of the state. And rest is history.
The main contribution of 34 years Communist rule in West Bengal (1977 to 2011) was the change of demography of the state in favour of Muslims. Illegal infiltration of Muslims from East Pakistan/Bangladesh to West Bengal for economic reasons was commonplace after 1950. Subsequently, such infiltration became Islamic in nature. A comparison of decadal growth rate and proportion Muslim population vis-à-vis Hindus between West Bengal and Bangladesh from 1981 to 2011 will clear all the doubts.
The core point is, Communists could do whatever they wanted in the state because Bengali Hindus of the state have been stupidly secular and insanely liberal. Two real life stories will explain this fact.
The prominent CPI leader of West Bengal and ex-Home Minister of India Indrajit Gupta married a Muslim lady at the age of 62. Before marriage Indrajit Gupta converted to Islam and took the name of Iftiar Ghani. The secular Communist Indrajit Gupta miserably failed to rise above Islam in his own marriage. Predictably, no Bengali Hindu of West Bengal was annoyed with Indrajit Gupta’s conversion.
Another example we find in the case of famous Marxist economist Ashok Mitra. He was Finance Minister in Jyoti Basu’s first two Left Front governments in West Bengal. Ashok Mitra hailed from Dacca and after partition of Bengal he not only stayed on in East Pakistan, but even represented Pakistan at an international conference of progressive students held in India.
But Islamic persecution compelled Ashok Mitra to save his life and he migrated to Calcutta thereafter. Ashok Mitra once told a bureaucrat in Calcutta “I am a Communist, not a gentleman”. But he could not dare to say in East Pakistan “I am a Communist, not a Hindu or Muslim”.
An adumbral face of communism.
The Communists called Subash Chandra Bose a ‘dog of Japanese General Tojo’
During the Second World War, when freedom fighter Subash Chandra Bose was attempting to build an international alliance to counter the British empire with a pursuit to free India of British rule, the mouthpiece of the undivided CPI ‘People’s War’ published sketches of Subash Chandra Bose being led by General Tojo by holding his hand. Another illustration from the same magazine showed Bose being thrown in a circus by a man donning the Nazi Hakenkreuz.
Ordered party cadre not to donate blood to Indian Army
During the 1962 war between India and China, the Indian Communist parties issued a diktat to their party cadre that they shouldn’t donate blood to Indian soldiers. Several Communist leaders had backed China during the war and supported the country’s stance.
Openly said ‘China’s Chairman is our Chairman’
Merely 8 years after the Indo-China war, the Left front in India put posters all over West Bengal which said ‘China’s Chairman is our Chairman’, very openly showing their allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Mao Zedong.
Received funds from USSR and China
A declassified report from the CIA reveals that the CPI and breakaway CPI (M) were funded directly by China and USSR respectively.
The two parties received funds “through a combination of kickback schemes, normal business transactions and direct cash payments”.
“In addition to party funding, the Soviets channel money to individual Congress and opposition politicians (through) clandestine payments. This cash is reportedly obtained from the favourable Soviet trade balance,” said the document titled “The Soviets in India”, which is one of the millions of CIA memos declassified in 2011.
Mitrokhin Archives allege that CPI and CPIM received funds through several bizarre ways during the cold war, including through car windows during Delhi traffic!
At several instances, India’s Intelligence Bureau intercepted transfer of funds from USSR to CPI during the time of Jawaharlal Nehru. However, these were given a blind eye by the former Prime Minister and such activities continued till the fall of USSR.
Marad Massacre of Hindus in Kerela
On the Marad beach of Kozhikode in Kerala, 8 Hindus were murdered by 62 Muslim workers belonging to CPI (M), Popular Front of India and Indian Union Muslim League. The attackers hacked the innocent Hindus in broad daylight and then proceeded to hurl bombs and other explosives at nearby areas.
A golblin named Communism ;
When you think of barbaric acts against humanity which has shamed the entire human race, what examples come to your mind or to be precise, what have been fed to your mind? Nazis; off course Nazis. Because what Nazis did was documented, filmed and photographed. You were reminded again and again that Nazis were blot on the humanity. Indeed, they were. They tortured millions of Jews, starved them in concentration camps, gassed them to suffocating deaths. Just think of any inhumane acts and Nazis committed. Such horrible souls they were.
But what about Communism? A sugarcoated ideology which killed millions of people across the globe: From Moscow to Stalingrad, Beijing to Tibet to Xinjiang, Pyongyang to killing fields of Cambodia, Tripura to Bengal to Kerala and so on. A gory and lurid tales of blood curdling crimes committed against the humanity, all in the name of lofty ideals of Communism: Equality.
Do you find the same outrage against Communists who did exactly the same what Nazis did? You would have definitely heard about Concentration camps but do you know about Gulags. Do you know why? Because History is written and shaped by the victors. Communists are glorified Nazis who wrote their own history.
Communists claim to fight for the oppressed and trampled, talks of emancipation, equality, better society; but once seated to power, complete submission to the communist regime is what they impose and oppress with even much barbarity and cruelty. Communism is an ideology where you exist only to support the ideology, else you are doomed. No one dare say a word against the communism; else he/she may not see the day.
In communist countries, criticism of communist ideology is the biggest crime, far worse than blasphemy in the theocratic nations of the middle east. For communists, ideology is even beyond nation. That’s why in China, it is not the Chinese Army but Peoples Liberation Army whose loyalties rest with the Communist Party of China. The primary task of the PLA is not to safeguard China but the communist ideology. This is how typical communists operate.
Do you know whom Communists are afraid of? Communists are afraid of the same people whom they promise to liberate? Communists don’t want people to speak up, to express themselves, to be free. Communists allows your freedom of speech only if you are a communist propagandist and toe the ideology; else tanks are waiting in the square. Complete freedom of expression they say.
Communist heroes are those who were absolute dictators. Be it Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot or Castro. All of them believed in violence with impunity; killing millions. That hooked sickle which reminds of the cursed hooked cross, signifies bloodlust which paints the communist flag red.
And these communists glorify all these mass murderers. It is the sub-conscious display of the mindset which every communist carry within: of violence, bloodshed and dictatorship. That’s why you will find that wherever communists rule; violence, political killing, bloodshed is an absolute norm.
I have just one question from all those who believe in Communism, promote Communism but are living in democratic countries. Do you support democracy or Communism? Their wishy-washy responses will tell you the truth. In a democratic country, communists enjoy every freedom which communist don’t give in a communist country. One can be a communist in democracy but one can’t be democratic in communist regime. The moment you understand this subtle difference between communism and democracy, you would be a liberated soul. Yet, some brainwashed souls like Bhaskar and Krishnan, despise democracy and love communism.
One unique thing which I would like to highlight about Indian communists. Communist parties have been in India for almost 100 years now but still their heroes are imported. If you ask these leftists who your heroes are; you will find them talking about Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Castro etc. God knows why they leave Kim un Jong and Pol Pot in endorsing. There is not even one local communist hero. You attend any communist ideological conferences; Marx, Lenin or Stalin would adore the wall. An ideology who could not produce even a single Indian leader to follow and who still import ideologies promise to liberate India. At first, every communist need to get themselves liberated from what can be called as mental colonization. And these bunch of mentally colonized communist thugs who thrive on imported ideologies and imported leaders seek to talk about India. What an irony!
Communists say that religion is the opium of masses. They talk big of shunning religion because it is the root cause of all ills pervading in the society. But two prominent communists who were atheists as well – Stalin and Mao; killed almost 100 million people in their lifetime.
