The process of reform is never ending, be it US, UK or India, Somalia. Reform is a process, could be in any direction, even reversing the old reforms in different names or shades.
For example, it may include establishment of workers’ colonies in close proximately (or even inside) of a coming up of a township. These workers could be skilled and unskilled ones. Transporting them from a distant habitat on daily basis would be uneconomical. Their presence is not illegal and administration, police, courts do not take cognizance of their existence, neither raise any question. They are given regular supply of electricity, water, TV, WiFi, etc. and even pay property taxes in some cases. To help them live and find means of subsistence for themselves, small shopkeepers, venders, maid servants, small scale doctors, lawyers settle there. They become part of the ‘civilized’ world and the growing townships of the establishments.
After a decade or so, when the township grows enough, the land prices rise more than 5-10 times and even 100 times, there arises ‘need’ of making mauls, PVRs, builders’ society, parks, water bodies, various institutions, beautification of the town for the growth of the country. The laws are changed to carry on ‘reforms’ for the need of the country and GDP!
These colonies become illegal, the dwellers become rogues, uncouth, uncivilized lots, even branded foreigners and terrorists, and reform evicts them by force, where judiciary, police, bureaucracy, government, builders, businessmen and financiers, banks unite!
So are the cases with building huge statues, reforming religions (new ones also come up), cultural institutions, changes in relations with other countries with changes in internal situations, market laws, labor laws, farm bills (to convert the agriculture in sync with industries), ‘mood’ of the people which changes with the mood of the political parties, who change as per the mood of the big capitalist class (both domestic and international), amendments in constitution or making a new one, changing demography, nationalization and privatization in both direction as per the need of the capital, election process, from ballot paper to EVM and back, etc. and etc.
Whole story of so called REFORM is to maximize the rate of profit (increase the surplus vale, both absolute and relative), and it has be in motion, because one or few measures get exhausted after certain time and profit rate, which has a tendency to fall to zero, starts tumbling.
However, there is resistance to this process, the reform, by the working people, against whom the reforms are initiated, their lifestyle and living standard goes down, their employment opportunity and purchasing capacity goes down, despite few exceptions for the few people, whose income increase, especially during economic boom.
Comrades and Friends, get out of the so called process of reforms, which is nothing but a capitalist class need, albeit in name of national interests and welfare of the people. Think holistically and work to bury capitalism, mother of all evils, and supersede it with socialism.
Stop opposing or favoring reformism.
Unite for revolution.
