Monseignor Karat choses "Mistakes"

Vijaywada. The venue of a "Special and Extended Party Plenum", not to set right, but to "fix" some patches only to set the cart of bourgeois power sharing rolling till the next election. M.Karat and company has turned minimalist under the avowed garb of Marxists. Minimalism is very focused, it runs fast one-track with break-neck speed towards its goal, everything is subservient to achieving its only aim- the rise to power. Means has no meaning unless they serve directly and fastest toward the end. Karat is excellent minimalist, even better than his college buddy Yechury. The party has to be kept in shape, it has to win back the lost ground in WB and Kerala, it has to manage to steer with its status quo and of course above all to bring back the monetary resource it enjoyed while it was in power. Yes, they know it will dwindle when outside power. but whatever loss mitigation can be possible. All these objectives have nothing special to do with the "ism" they avow. The "ism" is a nice commodity for CPM, nice enough to get some levy from some gullible white collar workers [In India we eulogistic-ally call them that actually the most privileged petty bourgeois who want to have the best of all the worlds]. Leftism is the "best policy" that can fetch them that amount. The typical behavioral trait a white collar public servant petty bourgeois donning the identity of a "worker" is eclecticism. And eclecticism based on pragmatic operational methods is what CPM's leftism is, that we call in Indian context as Indian Social democracy. CPM will survive, survive with dissensions, with fractions, with splits and with re-organization- this is a different kind of survival, a survival that can live long with crises, a survival that does not feel shy of differences but rather take a little pride in that. CPM has inherited this trait from the Congress party of India, that sees its strength in as many as dissensions and lobbies as it can contain. CPM has in fact gone beyond that by keeping a seemingly unified party structure and yet would contain all kinds of conflicting and yet cohabiting ideas. CPM maintains the structure of a communist party structure espousing "democratic centralism" by manipulation- the modus operandi of the manipulation is very simple- take out and throw away the spirit and the essence, keep all the form and attires intact, that will "teach" the cadres how effectively to flout the "ism" they espouse. This is what CPM had been doing all along. In Vijaywada, they repeated the same - they made a great potion- a little from Yechury and Bengal line, a little from the just opposite KARAT line, a little from a Tripura Line, a little from Hindutva by the latest Hindutva-master Comrade Achyutanandan, a little from Orissa's land struggle and then a lot from Somenath Chatterjee, the phantom of Jyoti Basu and Harkishen Singh -- all nicely cooked to form a stock of CPM leftism.

Leftists, revolutionary communists expect too much from CPM- though in a negative way. They grin to find out how far CPM have fallen out of Marxism and Leninism and then show that as the "exposure" of CPM- CPM however is hardly bothered. They wanted to become good managers of bureaucratic Capital in India and sentinels of American Imperialism- the best way they found is to swear against it a fine craft of deception.. they have now kept their party cadres at bay and contained by saying that no communist party can survive by not opposing Imperialism and in deeds have been always the first the implementation of Imperialist tact and acts. CPM can not be exposed, because it does not care about exposure, there is nothing to expose. Those who try to do so actually prove how strong CPM is in machinations, manipulations, in forgery, in liedom and in all kinds of negative subversion. CPM wants actually to show the managers of International Capital that they are the most effective crafty group of crooks and can sustain Capital in the most crises ridden predicament.

Monsieur Karat has now to set right the future track for the party- without much of accountability, simply till such time and situation whereby they can cling on to whatever small while going down. Whatever means they need to take is OK, if that requires some minor penning across some clause be that as it may, if that requires chiding some section and restructure be that as it may as long as the loss is minimal to whatever extent they can save.

In the contemporary history of the fall of CPM, it had experienced three moments and all of them enacted in West Bengal- They are Singur, Nandigram and Lalgarh. All three are connected to the SEZ. However M. Karat sanctifies Singur, finds great fault with Nandigram and now zealously guards all horrendous acts in Lalgarh. Simply Random choice. If Singur policy is correct how come Nandigram was wrong? if Nandigram was wrong how come Lalgarh policy is correct? Has there been any difference in any of the three policies? even M Karat did not come out with any explanation. He does not need to. He basically balances between the Bengal line [ of supporting SEZ implementation] and the Tripura line [of opposing forcible land acquisition] and the Kerala Line [ of hobnobbing with the Capitalists] and the line of the rest of the party including those Delhiwallahs led by Prasenjit Bose and Karat himself [ of sprouting radical anti-imperialist rhetoric]. Trapiz game is the art every revisionist has to learn as (s)he does not have to mind ideology or politics or class matters. "Nandigram relegated the anti-SEZ movement years back" - Oh is that right? then why did the West Bengal government bring in the SEZ law way back in 2003, full two years ago than it had come to be an act in the Indian scenario? Why did they were the first to implement in Singur? How could they delink SEZ- the bauxite exploration, the mineral induced dispossession and displacement in case of Lalgarh? Well, CPM is a post box where you can not reply or ask back. Karat is the CEO of that company - a service Capital formation company to form Capital aiding imperialism and multi-national globalization which however speaks the language of dissension. It talks the walk of opposition and walks the talk of subservience even to the extent of forcible compliance. - This is Karatian "Marxism" or CPM style of revisionism.
