I am losing faith now in something that I have learnt and applauded and imbibed in my life. Communism. It's losing the stronghold it had in my mind over the last few years in belief, and over the last decade in thought process.
Upliftment of the masses, improvement in living conditions for the Proletariat, all these are now clichéd words, as I realise the actual tumult of the people who live in such a government. The agony of getting simple things done becoming so unimaginably difficult is proof in itself that they system is flawed at worst, and needs to be bespoke at best. Taking money and power from the upper economical strata of the society and distributing it to the people has only ultimately succeeded in making the people lazy and arrogant.
Not more than a couple of decades ago, Kerala was the main supplier of all vegetables to Tamil Nadu. Now, it is the opposite, with Kerala only sustaining due to the Tamil Nadu market. Fraudulently claiming that labour is the backbone of the Kerala Communist Society, (which it USED to be until recently), the Communist workers still go about parading themselves as the saviours of a land that, in reality, has all the saviours and protectors and redeemers in the general public itself.
Sorry Comrades, but we do not need YOU to protect us. In fact, we want protection FROM YOU.
Another simple example. I know a family who wanted to get their house items shifted from their rented apartment, to a flat of their own. They appointed a group of 3-4 people to get the job done. When moving the luggage on the truck, they were however stopped, and they had to pay some money to the Communist Party Labour Union because the workers in their stead were not Commie-registered. What kind of non-sense is this? I mean, first you say, that give power to the masses. Give work to the lay man. And then when we do, you go about charging us for it?! It’s either really stupid of you, or really stupid of you. Sure, you made a few quick bucks and the problem of booze for that night is solved. But is this really how you would bring progress in your life, or to the lives of the others around you? And is this really how the land would be redeemed? If it is, then it indeed is a land beyond redemption, scarred with not just the occasional, but the very frequent marks of violence, greed and foolishness.
What this system needs is a prosector, a prosecutor and a persecutor. And a lot of common sense.
Lal Salaam, they say. Sorry Saare, but I cannot offer my Salaams to you anymore.

then how do u think should the govt. bring about a change?
this post is not about the act of revolution, as much as it is about the emotion of repulsion. the concept of change, and revolution, will only gradually come to me in time.
