THE SUCCESSOR OF KARL MARX
Communists are people with strong
affinity to the idea of disintegrating the social barriers between the working
class and the elite. Also known as ‘ free thinkers’ ,this sect strongly
believes in atheism . In other words they need a solid proven theory behind
anything mystical or something not yet clear to humans. In terms of politics ,
this term communism refers to a situation wherein everything and everybody is
controlled and decided by the government, believing in the fact that government
is the sole social welfare benefactor of the people.
In India , Kerala and West Bengal are
the only states where the communist government ever came into power. However 30
years of communist rule didn’t bring much welfare to the people in the state
which still stands more or less exactly like the British left it. In Bengal
when the communist government tried to takeover the land of the farmers for
large scale industrialisation ,the government was overthrown and also gave rise
to a mutiny among people. Kerala however is no different ,in the recent
election has come again under the communist regime.
The idea of communism is not all that favoured across the globe, in
fact in the early 20th century many west countries feared that
communism would overthrow the government and destabilize the private industrial
revolution which occurred during the era. Though many people give the reason of
nuclear warfare being the reason behind the longest standing cold war between
USA and then USSR ,many also assume the fear that their capitalistic
economy would be overthrown by the
communist thinking thereby disrupting their private based economy was another
major reason.
Presently across the globe The
Republic Of china, Cuba, Vietnam and North Korea are the only countries with
communist government in power with the exception of North Korea being a closed
economy. Both Cuba and Vietnam have been experiencing political and economical
instability for a little over two decades. The government of these countries have
been infiltrated to the top with corruption, leaves China as the only country
where communism truly works to its senses ; by not only improving the living
standards of people but by also becoming one of the few available markets
across the globe for all kind of industrial and service products. The
government in China is the sole decider to what all purpose and works should
its resources be put to use. Although China has a good growth rate ,red tapism
and dictatorial autocracy are few problems that daunt this economy.
Although communism is for the welfare of the
people sometimes due to its dictatorial behaviour taps innovation and new idea; thereby leading
to interbreeding of old ideas leading to orthodoxies.
