Another reason why the cling to power is, to some extent, they have succeeded in converting marxism into a religion.Just like, say, muslims, my Marxist friends in Kerala <B>*believe* -- yes blindly believe -- without any reason</B> that only "marxism" can save this world! They think that all these violent events -- like Nandigram, Kannur, Tiananmen square etc -- are efforts to "save" the world from "capitalist" forces! When people start blindly believing in something, no one can help -- just like muslims vote for muslim leaugue, "marxists",men belonging to this religion, vote for CPM! <BR/><BR/>There is a one-to-one comparison between a religion like Islam and CPM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32317349.post-22861158262142517222008-03-31T10:51:00.000-07:002008-03-31T10:51:00.000-07:00The issue of minority leadership being the example...The issue of minority leadership being the example of a shining society makes little sense.<BR/>The larger issue is the participation of minorities in general society.<BR/>To his credit Gandhi attempted exactly that, trying to integrate minority communities like the Muslims and Dalits into mainstream society and its governance.<BR/>Communists are discombobulated when it comes to living in a capitalistic, democratic society.<BR/>The principles of communism sharply contradict the foundation of the Indian constitution (despite token additions of words like socialism etc.).<BR/>The total failure of communism even in WB is something overlooked by CPM and Chindu.

Party members say the trend can be attributed to affluent lifestyles, increasing religious politics and the 'tough life' of party workers. <BR/><BR/>CPM sources admit that the rate of attrition among "whole-timers" — permanent members — is as high as 7.5 per cent. <BR/><BR/>http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14633061Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32317349.post-49108930045317229692008-03-30T08:47:00.000-07:002008-03-30T08:47:00.000-07:00Karat might be talking about minorities in Dharams...Karat might be talking about minorities in Dharamsala, Jammu and Kohima. :-)socalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327883033805273953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32317349.post-73964434871888048052008-03-30T06:30:00.000-07:002008-03-30T06:30:00.000-07:00Note also that when the claims of the commies are ...Note also that when the claims of the commies are reported, they are reported as if they are statements of fact.
