CPI(M) Urges Centre to Stop Buying Weapons From Israel

obviously, the fathers of the above indian members never had their factory employee unions or company employee unions... obviously the above indian members want to live as coolies in 2500 bc.

obviously, the sisters of the above indian members don't want to live in a enlightened and free society, but rather in a panchayat society.

obviously, the idea of communism is oh-so-inferior to the "shining india" of modi sarkaar.

This is being proved again and again in every election. Communists lost the game much before Modi arrived.

in person and months back, i have urged the two public communist parties to consider why they couldn't achieve national power... one mistake was fighting elections.

There is no turning back now. They will have to keep fighting elections.

in south asia, the afghani socialists didn't achieve national power by fighting elections, they came to power by plotting a revolution... that is true of any other revolutionary society... as long as cpi-m and cpi-ml keep having "electoral constituencies", they will keep failing.

Very true and its their ideology that led to the downfall.
Trade union politics hasn't succeeded anywhere because it inherently supports inefficiency and rowdyism. But perhaps we need not worry much, it will ultimately be a candidate of Darwinian model of extinction of unworthy.
I recall an old soviet era joke
Fairy Tale in Capitalist countries Once upon a time....
Fairy Tale in Communist Countries One day there will be....

and what ideology is that??

no, trade unions are for action against injustice, and they are pro-efficiency because a happy employee is a happy society ( an employee brought to point of suicide is, technically, an inefficient process ).

i myself tried to create an employee's union in my last job place... it would have been the first union in india's modern services industry... and the plan included ladies, so no scope there for rowdyism.

any person concerned about justice will have no objection to unions, especially in a inherently selfish and unjust society like india.

But perhaps we need not worry much, it will ultimately be a candidate of Darwinian model of extinction of unworthy.

even the western anglo nations have internal agitation against capitalism... i speak of the occupy movements ( About – 2014 ).

i won't speak of the socialist direct action in southern europe.

and the west is being affected by emergence of the anti-capitalist technological company, spacex ( SpaceX ).

india seems to be the last fortress of the obscenity of money and economics... it will fall within five years... remember the tens of thousands of ibm-bangalore employees thrown out of jobs in february this year... or the foxconn factory ( assembly plant ) in madras presently with suspended operations.

any sane person will be disgusted with the system which allows this in 2014... ( Death, hunger stalk Indian tea-estate workers )... there is no place in humanity for such unjust and anti-democracy systems.

Karat is a Keralite and Yechury is a Bengali.

How does communism justify cheating people in Trivandrum Railway station as said by @Rajaraja Chola

My uncle had a real bad experience in Kerala.. He had went to Tiruvanandapuram with a single suitcase.. He refused a porter , as he doesnt really need it.. When he came out of the station and boarded a taxi, porters surrounded him and started demanding money.. They told him, he had no right to carry his own case inside station, as the porters are there for the purpose.. He was asked to pay up .. CITU unions.. These were the situation of Kerala some 15 years back,, Not sure now..
The failure of the CPM is its failure to re-orient themselves to the aspirations of the middle class.. Even the lowest poor now has a smartphone, and he expects better services. CPM still harps on free goodies...
And CPM are the biggest hypocrites in India. They protest when someone converts to Hinduism. But they keep a mum if people are converted from Hinduism through freebies or money.

For plotting u need support from people and politicians alike. Our politicians have for too long enjoyed the fruits of democracy, laziness, corruption and as such no one will support the commies for a revolution.

And then hand over our nation to terrorist?...Looser commies...

CPI(M) Politburo member Sitaram Yechury today asked India to suspend buying weapons from Israel as it is helping them to fund their war against Palestine.

"Unfortunately, India has been financing Israel's inhuman war on Palestine by being the largest purchaser of Israeli weapons in the world. We have been asking the government to stop buying weapons from Israel, if it doesn't want to stop, then at least, suspend the purchase of weapons to express our solidarity with Palestine," Yechury said at the first Satyendranath Majumdar Memorial Lecture here organised by AIPSO.

"The government has now clarified that there is no change in India's support to Palestine cause, but what is the use of it if you continue to buy the weapons and finance its (Israel) war on Palestine," the CPI(M) Rajya Sabha member said.

Yechury also lashed out at the US for its policies of trying to create hegemony across the globe and blamed it for the conflict in Middle East in order to create its supremacy over oil and gas resources.

He also cautioned the Centre of not trying to get swayed by the US while deciding its policy on China.

"The US wants all its friendly countries to a play a role in containing China whom it doesn't want to see as emerging as a global player after the fall of the Soviet Union. The only economic and strategic power that can come close to US is China, its containment is a part of US strategy and India should not be part of it," Yechury said.

"Already several chinks are appearing in India's foreign policies. We want India not to get swayed by the US considerations and its strategy of trying to contain China," he added.

yes, the general masses have no thoughtful fires within them... they get furious about india-pakistan shelling on the border but allow india to become suicide capital of the world.

but some people who joined or support aam aadmi party are thoughtful people... but they should become more politically involved, to the point that complete social change of india should become their only goal.

and the two communist parties should reunite and present a new face.
