Economic, social & political crisis: Our task

 Social, political and economic crisis:

The death reported is at least 10 times more than the real due coronavirus pandemic, and so is the actual infected people! It is evident from the number of dead bodies at cemeteries.

The scene is beyond imagination, extremely ghastly and wonder even if an enemy army could have done such devastation that ‘own’ government did to its citizens, in pursuance of profit and serving its capitalist masters. Hitler must be congratulating his counterparts in India, who are achieving what Hitler achieved, but without using gas chambers.

They exported oxygen, essential medicines and vaccinations. The public healthcare system is completely demolished and today oxygen and other medicines are being horded and sold in black, so is with other essential products, where the government itself is part of it, see the monopolistic pricing done by it.

On the other hand, we have election rallies, Kumbh Mela, and most stupid and unscientific statements by the RW leaders and media, which includes hate mongering, jingoism, rhetoric, religiosity, casteism, national chauvinism, ignorance and superstition. The propaganda machinery of the state is at full run to dumb the people’s resistance, no, even ‘make’ them support the fascist regime.

The people’s resistance, on the other hand, does exist on a very large scale, like on farmers’ front), but disunited and on a non-revolutionary path. Even the demand of resignation of the BJP government is not being raised by the opposition.

Where is the bottom line? What is our task? At least, we must not promote class reconciliation, ideologically or in practice! For example ‘election to election’ politics promotes class reconciliation and blunts class struggle. Reason is simple, even in the present pandemic and economic recession, the class enemy is not slowing down its aim of accumulation, which in fact has accelerated, through constitutional means (liquidation of Labor Laws, 3 Farm Bills, Environmental Laws), monopoly pricing, direct plunder, surplusing a large number of workers (throwing them out of active Army of Labors to the Reserve Army of Labors, like in the category of of lumpen proletariat and paupers), that is, they are no longer the part of production and distribution system, run for & by the capitalist class, and its state.

Time is critical for us, the precariat & the proletariat, the workers in the unorganized sector (More than 90% of the total workforce in India), the advanced section of the working class (in organized sectors, which are being privatized at a very fast rate), the intellectuals who are with us and all those who can see their demise due capitalism. While we need to save ourselves from Covid-19, we need to continue our AgitProp, organizational works, education work (of the masses), pamphlets and other organs, promoting united fronts, etc.

It is not time to hide and save ourselves. Working outside today does not mean, either, to invite the deadly virus. Wear mask, maintain safe distance from others, use sanitizers and other cleaning materials, get vaccinated, and other measures to counter this virus.

Onward Comrades!

Nationalize Healthcare System

 “Let us all accept in spite of all this it was the government facilities created mainly after Independence till 1990s that is standing as our backbone in this crisis.”

In UK, USA and other advanced countries the fight between the people and the finance capital is getting severe, albeit in bursts, sometimes in form of massive rallies and protests over the health system. The National Health System (NHS) of UK is being eyed by the MNCs, and Trump, with the help of Boris Jonson wanted to usurp this massive industry/services. India is the next priority, even if not at number one, as it is one of the biggest market in the world, at par with education, insurance.

MNCs, other monopoly capitalists, financiers, petty bourgeois class, middlemen, their loyal political agents (no better than managers) lifeline is profit, without which they will lose the unending competition with the winning ‘entrepreneurs’ and will cease to even exist.

And health care system, world over is huge. The initial Coronavirus killed hundreds of thousands of people in Italy, Spain and even Brazil, UK, USA, India not because their medical services were of old era, in fact, they were very advanced but equally expensive, where the patients were objects of profit, and unable to pay the service charges & cost of medicines, bed and perished even if their governments ‘wanted’ to save them.

A line for the rabid anti socialist society rogues; nationalization is not socialism in capitalism, but an aid to the capitalist class, when it is unable to erect particular industry or sector, due lack of capital, technology and other wherewithal or save the working class to ensure steady flow of the workers to the capitalists in future, or on occasions, due tilt of balance of power in favor of the working class, in the ongoing class struggle.

“So when we demand nationalization of healthcare, pharma industry is included, to have the optimum, need based production and availability of medicines.”

And of course, as discussed in the article, for the right research works, on preventive medicine, patients, etc.

This article advocates nationalization of all the private hospitals, clinics, pharmaceuticals, etc. on “reasonable compensation”. The readers must understand, this demand is in synch with the liberals, social democrats, reformists, pseudo Lefts, etc. who are mortally scared of socialism. They perceive loss of private property (even though, they do not possess) as their loss of freedom to think!!

In building socialism, the expropriation of the capitalist class, financiers, bankers will be done as soon as possible, and WITHOUT any Compensation! And this can not be done, unless the state power is in the hands of the proletarian class, through its revolutionary party.
