talking about LGBT rights then waving Azov battalion flag is as bad as BJP doing namesake caste affirmative movements. Most identity politics of bahujans falls into this category. Most leftist bahujans who talk about Ambedkar and so on , don’t want to admit that Ambedkar himself was a anti communist and he has nothing to do with India’s left politics. Even within the lower caste people or dalits they have inter caste issues and this caste problem cannot go away by mere admitting dalits into politburo and your point that is the biggest flaw of CPIM. There are liberals who talks about why CPIM doesn’t have more females if it represents equality among sexes. These are bourgeois talking points and btw you are only repeating those talking points here by slandering CPIM who fought against casteism for decades and also for tribal rights . What did ambedkarites achieve for the whole population ?

**In one of his famous speeches, ‘Buddha or Karl Marx?’ he has minced no words in clearly articulating the fundamental differences between the two. It is worth reading and understanding. Babasaheb was a faithful follower of the tenets of the Buddha and he imbibed and put forth the essence in countering communism which he was vehemently against. Whenever he spoke of Buddhism, he always accorded it the status of a proven scientific religion and not of random mysterious practice. For Babasaheb, communism was synonymous with violence and this he illustrated with great depth, powerful words and meaning.

“Buddha would never allow violence, but the communists do. No doubt the communists get quick results because when you adopt the means of annihilating a man, they do not remain to oppose you. Humanity does not only want economic values, it also wants spiritual values to be retained. Permanent communist dictatorship has paid no attention to spiritual values and does not seem to intend to. Carlyle called political economy a pig philosophy. Carlyle was of course wrong. For man needs material comforts. But the communist philosophy seems to equally wrong, for the aim of their philosophy seems to be fatten pigs, as though men are no better than pigs. Man must grow materially as well as spiritually. Buddha’s method was to change the mind of man without the use of force. Buddha sought to change man’s moral disposition to follow the path voluntarily. The means adopted by the communists are equally clear short and swift; one is violence and second is dictatorship of the proletariat,” he said.**

You are confusing sole identity politics with Marxism . Recently a tribal leader of CPIM was murdered , did anyone of the so called bahujans send condolences to CPIM and protest against this murder ? No. CPIM necessarily doesn’t have to fill up their ranks with OBC’s/Dalits because CPIM itself doesn’t work on espousing casteism like BJP , BJP has elected a tribal leader for president does that change the character of India itself . No . CPIM’s top leadership comes from genuine class struggle and intense training and it doesn’t have to do with specific identity. Sorry we won’t elect people like Kavita krishnan in our party ranks who calls herself a Marxist then adores Timothy Snyder for being “anti stalin” and then supports Azov battalion to “free” Ukraine .

Study, finish your degree and get out. US and it’s international diaspora is filled with right wing people it will take either bombs or a civil war to wake them up. Why do you think governments in the Western countries are in NATO and are in a cold War against China. They are extremely racist and aggressive.

Yeah kinda same thing. Though Indian political spectrum without the actual left ( CPI(M) and CPI) are like that only. When time is favorable congis will join BJP and vice versa. They don’t mind that BJP and RSS is killing India, they want to partake in the loot and clout.

Living near US and espousing hammer and sickle is enough for you to get into terrorist list 🤣

great analysis :)

I think most were nazi collaborators, kulaks largely stayed inside the soviet Union and were reabsorbed into the soviet system after WW2. I heard stories from Russian people that how their kulak great grandfathers were repressed but when Nazis showed up they didn’t hesitate to take arms against their enemies.

it happens , rocket science is very sophisticated even India is trying it for 3rd time.

Ever since Catherine the Great conquered Crimea in 1783 and established Sevastopol as its principal naval base, Crimea has been key to Russian military strategy. It was transferred to Ukraine in 1954 when it was part of the USSR. Then, when the USSR was dissolved in 1991, Ukraine kept Crimea.

This was unforgivable for Putin, who has long wanted to restore the USSR. In March 2014, Russia annexed Crimea and declared Sevastopol a federal city. Approximately 800,000 Russians have moved into Crimea since then. Facing constant bombardments from Ukraine from just across a narrow border, would make life unbearable for them, and for Putin.

lol … Yeah what kind of fuckery is this ? 800K Russians moved into Crimea where water supply was short ?

man its a sarcasm , if west forces Ukraine to attack Crimea it will be nothing sort of a nuke war in future.

I will say the opposition alliance is full of holes and consist of lots of opportunists , they can switch between Congis and BJP when time is favorable . Left front has become weak af post 2008, its difficult for Indians to choose a coherent party with some ideals . Congress also won’t ban the extremists like Bajrang Dal and VHP affiliated terrorist fronts and they will pursue the neoliberal policies of BJP .

drinking and marijuana is too good.

but they made a major mistake , China was not very close to Russia and it was after Trump anti china policies and hardline hawks Xi kinda went to Putin’s side. Putin was also not very keen to make enemy out of US but it was the Ukraine issue which displeased him and his cohorts in the government. I remember clearly that it was the LDPR and KPRF who were very vocal about NATO intrusion in Ukraine but Putin was nonchalant about it. I will say Nixon and Kissinger were better in geopolitics , atleast they understood that Russia and China shouldn’t come together to kick their ass. Even now China can kick Russia’s butt if US normalizes relations with China but I think the hawks and incompetency in congress is very high.

Actually if Americans were any clever they would have befriended China and kept their relationship intact and after kicking Russia’s ass then they should have threatened China with full force. But US lack cunning politicians like Kissinger.

Lenin ended the white army that was funded by the west and US , period .

Thats how midlife crisis yanks spend their days

created by CIA IT cell , common NAFO’s address is blatantly langley ,Virginia

Luka said that Ukraine is begging to be annihilated by Russia . He knows more than Alexander Khodakovsky .

Putler couping newspapers and governments since 2000. 🙃

You are not wrong that North was wealthier historically but colonialism , casteism and religious sentiments ruined the North. Congress also had bad policies in the past. Though I won’t say North is like Africa but they lack affirmative policies towards downtrodden and lower caste people and they lack visionary leaders overall. Nowadays Hindutva has engulfed the whole North it will take many years to undo the Nazi mindset.
