570. SOCIALISM - A WORLD - FREE FROM POVERTY.

                  570. SOCIALISM - A WORLD - FREE FROM POVERTY AND HARDSHIPS.

"LET US ENDURE OUR POVERTY TO END HUNGER AND POVERTY FROM THE WHOLE WORLD".

/

These were the words of Karl Marx, which he said to his wife Jenny Marx when they undergone the poverty and hardships during the period of preparation for the work "DAS CAPITAL". Actually those words were the content and target of MARXISM, to end the poverty of everybody in the world. Only he could consider the subject according to the world situation existed in those days. Life partner of Marx was Jenny, the daughter of Westphalen, a Lord, but had to face entire poverty and hardships along with Marx, even though she also supported the whole efforts of Marx.

Karl Marx was a German philosopher, economist, political theorist, historian, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. Karl Marx's father, Heintik Marx, who was a lawyer, wanted his son to become a lawyer as himself. But Marx's thinking turned to history and philosophy. After completing his higher education at the Universities of Bonn and Berlin, Karl Marx studied and obtained a doctorate in the "MATERIALISM" of the ancient Yavana philosophers, Demokratus and Epicurus. He turned to economic researches after understanding the causes of laborers' hard work and their sufferings in life.

//

Marx had to experience extreme poverty in his life when he turned to the researches that were part of his magnum opus "Capital". Only the meager assistance of Engels was relied upon. Even though children were dying of starvation, Marx could not turn away from his economic research. Then the words he spoke to comfort his life partner were:

//

"LET US SUFFER OUR POVERTY TO END HUNGER AND POVERTY FROM THE WHOLE WORLD".

Yes. The whole message of Marxism is embedded in it – “Marxism is a philosophy for the eradication of hunger and poverty for all people of the world. It is a fact that somebody earning wealth, even though they can't enjoy in any way, how much they enjoyed, on the other hand, think about how they can harm people and find ways to do so. That is the core of the "capitalist" social system. Even if one side has wealth that cannot be exhausted no matter how much it is used, due to the insatiable appetite for money, the people of the country are being harmed and continue to accumulate wealth. "Nature" have decided every living thing that how much they can use as oxygen, water and food required by every living thing and maximum life span; and their method of reproduction. There is likely to be only a slight difference between them. Such things include human affairs also. But efforts are made to accumulate wealth that cannot be exhausted by human beings alone without considering a very large human beings suffering acute poverty and hardships to maintain their normal life.

 THOSE WHO ONLY ACCEPT KARL MARX'S "WORDS" WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THEIR PURPOSE.

//

Those who do not understand what was the aim of Marx's life and accept only some words without knowing the meaning, will never be able to do justice to Marx and his ideas. Starting his career as a journalist, Marx turned to economic research when he had to write articles about the lives of workers who, despite how hard they worked, suffered only poverty. That is what led him to his magnum opus "Capital". What Marx does in that work is to establish how all workers are exploited. The conclusions he reaches are that concentration of wealth is the cause of all problems. That is what led Marx to the goal of an exploitation-free social system - a socialist system. It is important to understand that the goal is important anywhere. Lenin had no qualms about endorsing the economic-social system of old Russia and the goal of socialism, which was so deplorable. In China, Mao had no qualms about eliminating exploitation. Even after three quarters of a century since the 1950s in India, there is no doubt to promote exploitation, to strengthen bourgeois.

//

 Many people only accept the words of Marx without understanding what the subject is dealing with. Words become irrelevant when the situation changes. Such people will even decide that Marxism is obsolete. But if we understand that Marx's goal was that no one in the world should suffer from poverty, then we will understand that democracy is the most suitable for socialism. Such a word is "proletarian dictatorship ". A monarchy can even be overthrown if a revolution takes place and the government could be seized. That was the reason why Marx, Lenin and others talked about "totalitarianism of the proletariat". But in modern parliamentary democracy, which came into being after the Second World War, the people have the power to change or not change the government at fixed intervals. That was only with a view to avoid killing human being in revolutions. Such a situation did not exist during the time of Marx or Lenin. The problem is that most people do not know what democracy is. Actual "democracy" is "PEOPLES DEMOCRACY" which only means "of the people; by the people; for the people". And also bourgeois will never admit actual democracy; that is free from corruption; independent judiciary; independent executive and independent press and social media and they will even destroy the democracy using money; cheating the people as a whole through

communal forces and vandalism; booth capturing; riot etc.

//

 "Communist leaders" see the termination of monarchy in India and the empowerment of political power to individual citizens as the reason for not accepting the goal of a Socialist India. Because Karl Marx said that socialism can only be established through the "dictatorship of the working class" That was the position of K. Damodaran, EMS and others in the 1950s. It has no place in a democracy. What then? The solution that the communist leaders of India have found is to abandon socialism completely and forever. Those who always say that everything is always subject to change, Marx said this after the collapse of the "Paris Commune" in 1871. The communist leadership in India has not understood any of the changes that have taken place in the world since Marx. It's not just that the monarchy is gone, but that's what happens in a democracy. All the hereditary rights that existed until then are being denied. The monarchy was hereditary. All the important responsibilities (positions) were with those who belonged to the royal family. No "Armed revolutions can bring this situation) Those elected in democracy have the right to rule only for a fixed period of time. The communist leaders in India do not need to know that. They will not accept Marx's life goal of a social system free of exploitation. They will promote Indian capitalism until the end of the world. The only way to eliminate exploitation and ensure that no one goes hungry is through a socialist system. Ask the people to vote for it. There, all doubts about the future of Marxism and democracy will disappear.

People need honest people in politics. That is happening in Kerala. India also will follow this. Marxism is only honest politics. People will certainly reject when they recognize acute thieves those handling "POLITICS" for using selfishness through illegal and anti-social manner through corruption and looting public property. Those who working actual workers should also be able to live with dignity. The basis of MARXISM is that workers also have the right to live with dignity. To live means a suitable house and necessarily land; employment with a living wage, free medical facilities, free education for children, and protection in old age etc. . Only in SOCIALISM the "GOVERNMENT" can guarantee these. It is not difficult if the wealth of the country is under the control of the "GOVERNMENT". If the COMMUNIST PARTIES asking for VOTE for SOCIALISM, the peoples will certainly do it. But the position of Indian National Congress and Hindu Communalists called BJP is that there should be no such thing. According to them, the wealth of the country always should be with CORPORATES.

SOCIALISM IS THE LAW OF NATURE.

/

The peculiarity of natural laws is that they cannot deny living things anything. Those that live only in water cannot live on land. Those that live only on land cannot live in water. Living as a community is also a natural law. Those that are contrary to it will not have a long life. Like air, water and sunlight, land is the birthright of all living beings. Even nations do not come under natural law. Land is common property to all species except humans. Civilized man turned the earth into kingdoms. But even though monarchies have been abolished in most of the Indian states following the ancient tribal laws (the tribal chieftains became kings), not all men are granted rights to land. It is common to hear stories of people sleeping on the roadside and dying in vehicles hit without land for their homes and basic needs.

//

The basic tenets of the social science "Marxism" are as profound as any other science. But its goals are quite simple. Working people also have the right to live in dignity. The position of those against Marxism is that it will not be allowed. All sections of the society are directly or indirectly involved in producing all the things required by the society. Without the hard work of the workers in the iron mines, others would not get even a single pin. The "man" as a social being "live" means food, house, education of children; better living wage employment and treatment facilities; Old age care etc are all inclusive. It is not so difficult if the wealth of the country is directed in such a way as to benefit the people as a whole. Such a system is called "SOCIALISM". But if it is a situation where the wealth of the country exists only in a few people like in the old royal days, the majority of the society will have to live in perpetual poverty. When society changes from monarchy to democracy, there must also be a change in the economic order of monarchy. That is the general justice of socialism.

//

In "EARTH" there is no scarcity for OXYGEN. Why "CORPORATES" not using more oxygen than others? It is "nature" decided how much each and every living thing can use. All matters are like this. By assigning more and more wealth, CORPORATES are only destroying the society as a whole. Those who use all the evil means to make all the wealth of the world their own are unable to use it and finally succumb to death. But all the capitalists of the world and their political parties are of the same mind in paying less wages to the working worker. Their position is that under no circumstances should a socialist system exist on earth. For that, the political parties that exist in India with the same mind are the Indian National Congress and the Hindu Communalist Bharatiya Janata Party.

Marx made it clear in the Communist Manifesto itself that the bourgeoisie placed money above all else. "Profit" - Maximum Profit only. It trampled all human values. Only "selfishness" anywhere. They declared: "No hawk flies over money". Dominated only by selfish aspirants. That is capitalism. Instead, there must be an order of man and humanity. That is the socialist system. In democracy, the decision of the people is their vote. The peculiarity of democracy is that it has all the facilities to educate the people. It was not in the monarchy. Marxism, like "mathematics", works only in principle.

Mukesh Ambani, a businessman in India, has a monthly salary of fifteen crore rupees. He can increase it as much as he wants; but he doesn't do that. Even if he pays  3.5 crores of income tax out of fifteen crore rupees, he cannot use the remaining  11.5 crores  in any way in a month. It's about a month. He is the only one among his family. Another picture of this is a Dalit youth who was not willing to work for meager wages in Uttar Pradesh, was viciously beaten, his toenails were pulled out and a dog bit him to death. It is only a snapshot of what the "Hindutva--Sana-Dhana" culture of the Hindutva ruling India is. Gautam Adani is another tycoon who is trying to increase his wealth beyond Mukesh Ambani. The above are just two of the many who are working hard to become the world's richest.

A newspaper in Kerala, which also has a rubber industry, expressed its happiness over the non-increase in import duty on rubber imports from abroad in the Union Budget 2024 by prominently publishing an interview with the Union Home Minister, who is viewed with the utmost dread by the Indian public. The Union Home Minister who is supposed to end the ongoing killings in the Indian state of "Manipur" is deliberately encouraging it. For many years, the life of rubber farmers and related workers in Kerala has been made difficult by the import of rubber and the fall in the price of natural rubber. It is well known that it was due to the import of rubber from abroad to maximize the profits of the tire industrialists and the deliberate importation of rubber by the Indian National Congress which ruled India and the Hindu Communalists who ruled after that. The tire industrialists can "donate" any of thousands of crores to bourgeois politicians. Rubber farmers cannot do it. Tapping workers are the most affected by the fall in the price of rubber. Due to the fall in the price of rubber, the land value will fall and hence the tax revenue to the government will be lost as land will not be bought and sold. Increasing the tax on rubber imports will increase central government revenue; Increase in price of rubber will benefit farmers. The non-increase in import duty without interfering with that would greatly benefit the newspaper magnate who also owns the rubber industry. To show his gratitude, the Union Home Minister, who is also an old Gujarat terrorist, was given a deep hug through the newspapers. The work of the newspaper boss proved how capitalism exploits the people. All the rubber farmers could do was boycott the rubber boss's newspaper. Rubber farmers and tapping workers can choose not to vote for Indian National Congress and Hindu Communalists in elections.

MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT DEMOCRACY.

/

Karl Marx introduced the philosophy of "Marxism" in the middle of the 19th century. The "Communist Manifesto" was published in 1848. The first part of "Capital" was published in 1867. The time when the British empire ruled the world. A time when the English East India Company, which was just a trading company, established the "British Empire on which the sun never sets" for Britain. Only according to the conditions of that time, Marx could think of establishing socialism all over the world. Marx did not have time to judge the modern parliamentary democracy that came into being a century after Marx. The peculiarity of democracy is that the "political power" which was vested only in the monarch has become vested in every citizen in democracy, enabling every citizen to control the course of the country. Any citizen can form a political party and propagate ideas; People can be convinced that it benefits all people; With their consent, the course of the country can be determined. None of this was even thought of in the old monarchy. Those who did not understand what democracy really was "created in the people the impression that socialism was impossible by parliamentary means.

Exactly, "MODERN PARLIAMENTARY" democracy have some effect of the birth and the growth of old "USSR" and situations were changed all over the world after 2nd WORLD WAR. To defeat Germany, about 1.5 Crores men of old USSR had lost their life and their victory was very hard which was actually the power of MARXISM, and if USSR had failed, the victory of NAZI/FACIST forces had been prevented even the present modern Parliamentary democracy. When "CHINA" also in the field of "SOCIALISM", about 2/3rd portion of world population became socialist, which also have some good effect in MODERN PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY. A very good effect of "democracy" is freedom of opinion/media which give right of information, which enables COMMUNIST MOVEMENTS have right to teach about MARXISM AND SOCIALISM IN WORKING CLASS AND COMMON PEOPLES; and if the victory of 2nd world war with NAZI/FASCIST FORCES; these benefits will certainly denied. (Unfortunately, then "COMMUNISTS" decided to promote CAPITALISM OR EXPLOITATION AS "MARXISM). .

.......The old Soviet Union itself was the result of World War I and the great Lenin and how the philosophy of Marxism works with socialism. World War I was from 1914 to 1919. The "October Revolution" takes place in 1917, when the Sitarist Russian army was at war with Germany. After the war, the T"zar's army returned and waged a four-year "counter-revolution" under the leadership of "Kolchak" against the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union was victorious in the end. The history of "RED ARMY''s victory of the four-year counter-revolutionary subversive struggle proves that if the proletariat adopts the philosophy of "Marxism" along with socialism, it cannot be defeated by any force. But two and a half crore people died there. Yet the fact that the Soviet Union does not exist today proves that socialism can only survive with the full cooperation of the people. A modern parliamentary democracy is the most effective for the success of socialism. But the "STATE" ruling should be governed by MARXIAN IDEOLOGY otherwise bourgeois will destroy each and every aspects of democracy through their "MONEY" and ill motivated intentions like caste and religion.

//

When democracy has come into being from monarchy, the political freedom of the citizen will enable him to move the human race to the socialist system as every citizen has political freedom. But as education has been denied since prehistoric times, the working class needs to be convinced of the political conditions. According to "HINDU" religious concept, the right to get education vested only in "brahmins". Prevailing beliefs and the supremacy of money are for the exploiters to maintain their supremacy. To change it, the people must be convinced of the social justice of Marxism and socialism.Otherwise, no one can create a situation where there is no hunger and poverty in the world as Karl Marx wanted. Almost two centuries after the formulation of Marxism, the situation makes changes inevitable.
