024 Total Socialism is the only solution for farmer suicides in India.

Recently a centrist party in India, Aam Admi Party (English: Party of the Commonman), organised a rally in Delhi, to protest against Land Acquisition bill moved by the NDA Govt.

During the rally one farmer by name Gajendra Singh Kalyanawat, from Dausa village, Rajasthan State, climbed to a tree branch and commited suicide by hanging himself.  Ignoring the incident, the AAP leaders went ahead with their speeches against the Govt.


Police say that AAP volunteers prevented them from climbing the tree and saving the farmer.   AAP leaders claim that Delhi Police were against their party, and that they did not make any attempt to save the farmer.

A political blame game is going on.

ybrao-a-donkey's humble view:

Indian agriculture cannot financially support both the absentee landlords who take away all the benefits and loans the Government extends apart from the rent on the land, and the unwritten tenant farmers who have to bear all the risks inherent in Indian agriculture.

Question: Why are you using the word Total Socialism instead of Marxism, or Communism?

The words Marxism and Communism have been so much misused in the world both past and current, that the words started meaning only dictatorships or one party rule.

Question: Then why don't you use the word Socialism, and insist on Total Socialism?

The word socialism has become hackneyed and a jargon all over the world.  For example, according to Indian Constitution , India is a Sovereign Democratic Secular Socialist Republic.   Where is socialism in India today?


Question: How does the total socialism save farmers from committing 

suicides?

Total socialism involves nationalisation of both land and the agricultural production.  Entire risk is to be borne by the State.  Both inputs and outputs belong to the State.  Farmers will get all their personal and their family needs from the State.

Reply, जवाब, జవాబు :   IN POST No. 022 here, I have given a link to the interview given by Mr. Sitaram Yechury to theHindu.com.  The last question in the interview, and the answer given by Mr. Sitaram Yechury, are quoted below:-

Are we speaking to the next general secretary of the CPI(M)?


None of us now, I believe, are competent also to say anything on it because our party has a very vibrant inner party democracy. The Party Congress — our highest decision-making body — elects the new Central Committee. That new Central Committee elects the new general secretary and the Polit Bureau. I am in the old Central Committee. I am completely out of my jurisdiction to say anything.

ybrao-a-donkey's  view वैबीराव गधे के विनम्र राय వైబీరావు గాడిద వినమ్ర వ్యాఖ్య
This view of Mr. Yechury is like a person appreciating his own perceived beauty.  Truth may be a thousand kilometers far away.   When a person's name is proposed for a particular post, by the powers-that-be, in Indian political parties, nobody will dare to oppose them.  If anybody dares, they will be necked out.  Speeches by powers-that-be are not opposed.  Nobody wants to expose themselves by their outspokenness.  Hence, most internal elections in Indian political parties end up to be unanimous affairs.  Proposers' names and seconders' names are predecided by the High Command, dynastic or otherwise. 



If Mr. Sitaram Yechury really wants his party to install a more effective and efficient inner democracy, he should strive for introduction of the system of secret ballot not only for elections, but also for all key decisions.  Then truth will come out.  The electorate and the Constituency should consist the largest possible number.  To ensure this, postal or e-ballots through internet or mobiles, may have to be introduced.  Everybody cannot personally attend the Party Congress.
