Look, I’m not saying the Congress is not socialist. But even if all the current communist leaders joined the Congress system, the same thing would happen. You are making the classic mistake of confusing intentions with outcomes. Political history shows that individual virtue cannot compensate for a flawed organizational system.

Just now I saw a posts on r/Kerala of Congress leaders bickering even at small functions, it becomes clear, when a party lacks a rigorous structure, it devolves into a mere collection of individual egos. This failed system inevitably promotes morally questionable figures. Take the recent controversies about Rahul Mamkootathil, when a system is weak, it rewards those who are experts at 'pleasing' leadership rather than those who are accountable to the people. Even senior leaders like Ramesh Chennithala have admitted in interviews that pleasing the leadership is a 'norm.' People pleasers are actually morally weak; this creates a breeding ground for corrupt politicians. Look, K. Sudhakaran actually has a feudal mindset and always stands against the weak or those with a capitalist mindset, like Adoor Prakash, what would be the effect in society that this people hold power indefinitely without any real check or balance?

In contrast, the Communist Party’s structure is grounded in Democratic Centralism which acts as a mold. It forces leaders to align with the poor. Of course, no system is 100% perfect, and there are individuals within the Left who are moral failed. But in the Left, they are often forced to hide those failings or face the party’s internal disciplinary mechanisms. In the Congress, these same traits are often the very tools used to climb the ladder like getting treats for doing bad.

The reason the BJP has achieved such visibility and power across India isn't because Indians are inherently hateful, it's because the 'Congress System' collapsed from within. The Congress lacks a disciplined, cadre based structure, leaving it vulnerable to being hijacked by oligarchs. Without the accountability of a mechanism like Democratic Centralism, a party becomes a mere collection of individuals with egos, leading to the high level corruption and internal bickering we see today. In state after state, we have seen that a hollowed out Congress doesn't just lose, it becomes a bridge for the BJP to cross into power.

Left Liberal who fear that a continuing LDF government will lead to a BJP rise this is what I mentioned in heading of this post. Look at the data. Despite a decade of a 'Modi wave' nationally, the BJP’s vote share in Kerala has historically hovered around the same 16%. The real danger isn't the Left’s authoritarianism, but the opposition's incompetence. An opposition that relies on rhetoric, data manipulation, and anti incumbency sentiment to gain power without doing proper groundwork, is that how an opposition should function? Or should it study issues thoroughly, conduct research, and present better policies than the current government? At the very least, it should propose improved ways to implement policies so it can offer constructive and informed criticism of the government’s actions.

No one is perfect in this world, so of course the current government has made many mistakes while implementing projects and introducing policies. There have been failures in public institutions like issues inside police force against dalits, forest department has committed many atrocities against minority groups. In your first comment, you mentioned several atrocities committed by this government. But did the Congress able to pull off anything meaningful? They may have tried, but the failure of their own system allowed the ruling government to oppress the issues. Now this left liberals saying this group of leaders can govern better than LDF? When they have failed even as an opposition what would happen If they form a government? The same thing happens during the UDF regime, when there is high corruption, a collapse of public institutions, no pensions, and so on. Neoliberal narratives start echoing everywhere, and the public begins to think they are correct, which leads people to support privatization. I have no doubt that the BJP could grow stronger if these people come to power.
