BC COMMUNISM
Saved by @Scout_Captaln_

One of my first conversations and confrontations about my Communism... in a thread..

* Fellow traveler sees me watching a video clip on Leninism...

Him: You're a Communist? In this day and age? That's rare. Where are you from?

Me: India

 Him: Is Communism still a thing there?

Me: Pretty much. Many communists around if you want to find them, it's a third world country, it is still a feudalistic cultural epitome as well.
Him: So what do they do? Revolution?

Me: No. India's communist parties follow the electoral line. Though there are many hardline Maoists that believe in Armed struggle. The CPs also have trade unions, they do a lot of societal transformations, etc wherever they are in power.
Him: So Communism is viewed as a good thing?

Me: Yeah. At least, there is no antagonistic anti communism like you have in the west.
Him: All Soviet Bloc countries in Europe are poor. How do you guys still follow Communism after communism did that?

Me: Communism didn't do that. The Eastern bloc countries turned poor en masse after they abandoned Socialism btw.
Him: Well yeah, that's because those living on welfare had to get a job, duh!

Me: Under Socialism, jobs were a fundamental right. When they turned neoliberal is when their jobs went and they were left high and dry.
Him: But you have to admit that Communism is about making everyone poor!

Me: Let me ask you. Do you want to be rich?

Him: Yes.

Me: ... and the person next to you?

Him: Sure that would be great!

Me: and perhaps everyone in this aircraft as well?
Him: theoretically, sure!

Me: Then that's communism, btw :) Have a look at the UN figures for Soviet Russia and you will see an economic graph that never went down despite being the most sanctioned country in the world. Cuba...
Cuba... produces the best doctors in the world, has no starvation, the best electoral system in the world, and the highest life expectancy in Latin America. And also notice how no Communist country has ever produced terrorists that have pulled buildings or killed anyone!
Him: But Stalin, Mao... they killed billions!

Me: Billions? And the world never saw a population drop? USSR and China eliminated those who threatened their Revolutions, which I find no different from massacres and wars started by the West to keep their hegemonic power intact.
Him: Isnt China really Communists doing Capitalism, mate?

Me: But it's also a planned economy. The government also has board members in every private company, there are national targets, things to achieve as a nation.
So you could say that they have a controlled Capitalist model, which enriches the state to send resources back to the people, to employ and enrich everyone. It's a Communist Party that's using Capitalism for rapid growth by using the benefits of socialism.
We the Communists believe that just as Capitalism has come and replaced an economic system before it, it itself will collapse under it's own shortcomings and will be replaced by Socialism which then will be replaced by Communism. There is no visceral hatred for economic systems.
... The challenge is always to make economics more democratic: from the rule of one family in slavery, to the rule of the church in feudalism, to the rule of rich folks who own capital to society collectively owning capital, to finally humanity living in a state of abundance...
... the abolition of class differences, where from each as per their ability to each as per their need.
Him: Sounds utopian :)

Me: To quote Marx... Philosophers have merely interpreted the World...

Him:....the point is hower, to change it?

Me: Exactly.
That was the beginning of many such encounters. Some successful, some not so much. I never try and make someone a Communist like some kind of evangelist. I just tell them what it has done this far and what it can do in the future.

Towards that World Revolution with my Comrades..

and characters of Pandavas are described by the dialogues between Suutji and Shaunakji. Then there is the story of Parikshit.
Next there is a Brahm Narad dialogue describing the avtaar of Bhagwan. Then the characteristics of Puraan are mentioned.

It also discusses the evolution of universe.( https://t.co/2aK1AZSC79 )

Next is the portrayal of Vidur and his dialogue with Maitreyji. Then there is a mention of Creation of universe by Brahma and the preachings of Sankhya by Kapil Muni.


In the next section we find the portrayal of Sati, Dhruv, Pruthu, and the story of ancient King, Bahirshi.

Latest update from @TheBernician

1/19

Hancock, Whitty, Vallance & Ferguson Stand Accused of Pandemic Fraud.

After yet more damning evidence arose last week, further additions had to be made to the court papers, which we are now aiming to lay in the coming week.

2/19

The four defendants will be Matt Hancock, Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance and Neil Ferguson, each of whom has inextricable and ultimately incriminating connections with Bill Gates and Big Pharma.

3/19

As well as three counts of fraud by false representation and seven counts of fraud by non-disclosure, under sections 2 and 3 of the Fraud Act 2006, we can now also prove that the entire worldwide scamdemic originated on these shores.

4/19

In fact, we can show that, without the dishonest statements and non-disclosures of the four defendants we are initially proceeding against, COVID-1984 would not have transpired.

5/19

Furthermore, the 1st defendant, Matt Hancock, cannot rely upon the defence of Parliamentary Privilege, on the ground that none of the evidence relied upon by the prosecution is capable of preventing parliamentarians from carrying out their lawful business in Parliament.

Ok I was wrong about theHouse. 2 years of legislative gridlock = not fun. Few bills passing.

Control of the House is useless when it comes to keeping Trump from declassifying all the SpyGate docs. Or stopping an Inspector General from releasing a report.

Trump still gets control of judicial appointments so we can expect another 100 judges over the next two years. This time there’ll be no McCain or Flake playing the Maverick role with their swing vote.

That new margin in the Senate is huge if another Supreme Court seat comes open.

So from the responses I’m getting, people seem to think if Trump declassifies the Spygate stuff now, nothing happens.

Are you under the impression federal prosecutors have to wait until CONGRESS finishes an investigation and makes criminal referrals before the DOJ can act?

There’s a federal grand jury on McCabe right now. Did Congress ever finish it’s investigation and make a referral to the DOJ against him?

No.

BUT INSPECTOR GENERAL HOROWITZ DID. On finishing his McCabe leak report.

Funny how nobody remembers that.

THE BATTLE OF PRATAPGARH (10 Nov, 1659)

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's impeccable military genius and matchless courage humbled the Adil Shahi Sultanate.

The beginning of what was to come later for the M0ghuls from one of the most indefatigable defenders of Dharma!

(Thread)


Shivaji’s growing influence in Maval region, made him a threat to the Adil Shahi ruler of Bijapur who sought to restrain him. The man who was given the responsibility of this mission, was their commander, Afzal Khan. Afzal was a formidable warrior known for his ruthlessness.(1)

His strategy was to bring Shivaji out into the plains, where he held an advantage, compared to the rocky Deccan terrain. Afzal attacked the holy town of Pandharpur, and later demolished the temple of Bhavani at Tuljapur to instigate Shivaji in a bid to bring him out.(2)

Shivaji was angry but remained patient. Knowing that he could not defeat Bijapuri Sultanate in an open battle, Shivaji moved to Pratapgarh fort, located on rocky heights, surrounded by thick forests of Jawali.(3)

This set the pattern for future Maratha attacks, using guerrilla warfare against larger invading armies rendering them ineffective in unfavorable terrain.(4)
