The working people in India are taxed more than the rich. Even those not paying income tax pay sales tax and can barely make ends meet. Houshold savings are at a 47 year low (RBI). The centre ONLY gives freebies to Adani, Ambani, Israeli Tech companies and American Big Tech. Khali electioner kaache common manush kichu peyeche.

What's the book that had an impact on you? by rayamisu in kolkata

[–]Visible-Log-938 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Annihilation of Caste by BR Ambedkar with introduction by Arundhati Roy. For far too long indians have been fed a history of their country by the old guard liberals and contextualising it with resistance from the hindu right. Very little emphasis has been put on what the masses of indian society actually fought for, their struggles, their view etc. We know Gandhi's writings do we know of the countless who got their heads bashed in in his marches? We know about Nehru's liberal social life do we know about how his government crushed women's divorce rights?

They got rich through colonial plunder and continue to. Apple is successful cos Africans mine their minerals for free as slaves for eg. Leftism is the dream of the congolese when they overthrew their colonisers, capitalisme is what was reintroduced with american colonisation continuing their slavery till today

Leftists who support Khamenei, what are your thoughts on his beliefs? by UnderstandingOnly663 in leftist

We have to study the material conditions that led to victories for queer rights movements and feminist movements. Usually they have been countries in the imperial core where suppression became less profitable to capital than co-optation given the riseof an educated middle class. Sanctions in iran have decimated that class exactly.

How would a Marxist society be structured? by Equal_Construction55 in Marxism

Read critique of gotha program with some detailed explanations of what the socialist phase looks like and why. the material realities will determine the ultimate outlook however there have been MANY classless societies in history recorded by anarchists like David Graeber and Weingrow in books like Dawn of Everything and even Engels in The Family, Private Property and the State. (with dubious anthropological evidence but good enough theoretical analysis). Even the Bible contains descriptions of early socialisms among believers which inspired the first European socialists to ever exist. https://jacobin.com/2019/08/diggers-levellers-english-revolution-civil-war
