A debate not to be avoided

Age is advancing. Patience is receding as the rule of nature. Irritation out of talking for talking sake is not an uncommon phenomenon. It is time to trace out the flaws and shortcomings with subsequent remedies if possible. Mind wants to live in tranquility. It is prudent to avoid uncalled for debate what spoils mental easiness. But if the debate is called for and if it wants to divert the spirit of the discussion there stands no other option but to take part in the debate with no passiveness. When logic and argument is attacked none can sit as passive spectator and if it happens at all it will be taken as the act of an escapist. To behave like an escapist is equivalent to defeat or death. So we are often involved in debate out of compulsion.

A debate is compulsory in question of principle and if that is associated organizational point of view especially in the Communist Party. The philosophy of the Communist Party is based on dialectics. Any policy matter in the Communist Party should never be unchallenged or uncontested because it contradicts the basic principle of the party organization. Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis are the mother principle of the living Communist Party. Mere acceptance without raising any question, obviously logic bounding, to a policy matter inside the party organization is the replica of stagnancy and it is the inevitability of a Communist Party Organization confirmedly leading to non-functioning or better be termed extinction.

What is today’s debate inside the Communist Party Organization? Needless to mention, all the identified Communist Parties in India are facing a tremendous setback. It is very much evident in West Bengal. Even a few years back the Communist Parties in West Bengal, despite their differences in line of action, had a strong footing if Assembly Election results are taken into consideration as the yard stick to measure. Mass movements in different frontal organizations had been the basic recipe of the popularity of the Communist party among the toiling mass, peasantry class and middle class elements. A Communist Party remains alive on movements. If bureaucratic attitude is developed inside a Communist Party the down of the party is the time factor. Bureaucracy begets so many vices and those poison the mass base from the root where non-trustworthiness is the major factor to count with ultimate priority. Many of us are bewildered with the landslide of the Communist Party in West Bengal. Even leading leaderships of the Communist Parties are trying to form divertive opinions. This is nothing but the prevarication of truth with deliberate concealment. Conscious and sensible persons are expressing their strong reservations to the explanations of the cause of the downfall. The leadership should go for hairsplitting analysis the causes of the downfall of the Communist Party in West Bengal as well as in India. What is the cause of huge erosion we must have a realistic analysis. There should no camouflaging practice.

Crisis of Communist Party is not a new phenomenon all over the world. So many vivid instances are there. Imperialistic forces are very much proactive and aspire to decimalize the foundation of the Communist Party as a mission of their one point agenda. They want the total destruction of all the Communist Parties now in existence as a policy matter. A constant fight is going on between imperialism and communism or socialism. After the debacle of the Communist Party in the Soviet Russia it is now the era of the “Unipolar World.” The U.S. Imperialism has brought down the ruthless attack on third world countries in order to plunder the natural resources, mineral resources and human resources. The chemistry of the attack of imperialism is now enough powerful not to be contested or challenged with full vigour. Under this condition the leadership, activists and followers of the Communist Parties should be enough careful and meticulous in every step with all pragmatic calculations and speculations.

Influence of Communism to expand in India is an untraveled path because there is no precedence of success of Communism in any country amidst so many cultural differences, racial discrimination, and religious disparities like India. Communist Party in India will develop on trial and error practice. That is why misconceptions are appearing time and again. Farsightedness on realistic analysis of the continuous happenings is the basic characteristic of the front-liners of the Communist Party. In case of any analysis on the wrong foot out of misconception policy matter of the Communist Party suffers a tremendous setback. That is taking place in India leaving common people in the lurch.

Communist Party is a mass-base party. It acts as a forum. None has the liberty to take any unilateral decision to be carried out by the activists of the party. Thesis, Antithesis and then Synthesis are the fundamental basis of the Communist Party in case of formulation of policy matter and the principle of Democratic Centralization is very much followed there. But the question on execution of the principles of Democratic Centralization stands before a big question mark. We should keep it into mind that it can never function without a liberalized outlook. I will rely upon the philosophy of communism and my liberalized look will be strapped with the rope of narrowness and meanness – it is a greater contradiction and moral prostitution too. There is no room for narrowness in the Communist Party. “I must have to remain at the epicenter of power’ – it is the net outcome of the Left Front in power for 34 years in West Bengal. Crisis initiates from this particular point. It is an incurable disease and it eats away the moral values and ethical senses of any individual up to the end level. It develops a nefarious tendency to impeach others at any cost to protect the chair of any individual well fortified. If the dream spins round occupancy of chair moral values of communism receives a premature death. Just at this moment individualism inside the party begins and breaks out in an epidemic form. Many define it as inner party struggle. But they are blatant liar. They try to confuse common people with due deliberation. They should be classified as the enemy of civilization, enemy of human understanding. They want to define communism in behalf of their vested interest.

There is no need of any rooftop view. All of us who rely upon of communism as the only option of total emancipation of the depressed class should take to streets as the mandatory option with complete elimination of the vested and reactionary forces inside the party. Let the reactionary forces understand that the communist party is not the platform to fulfill the narrow interest of any individual or any group in particular. Activists of the Communist Party should make it very clear with all clarity that they should never mortgage their good senses to any biased opinion. There is no room for bias principle in communism. It is a continuous flow with robust optimism. Nihilists and power hankers must be discarded without any further attempt of their rectification. Those who want to enfeeble communism residing inside the Communist Party must be expelled from the party. The party will survive then. To appease all is to appease none. Sometimes to take “Hard Decisions” is very much compulsory. It stands as the inevitable part within the organization. It is an admitted fact that the present morally corrupt party activists had a greater contribution for the Communist Party a day. We pay a great tribute for their contribution. But if their present role confirms detrimental to the organization the Communist must be get rid of them in no delay.

Question of compromise does not arise in any case because compromising attitude begets destruction. Indecision is no good at all. The organization may suffer for a transitory period for the landslide inside the party. But that is the best option to keep the Communist Party Organization alive with all its flavour. It is the true inner party struggle to decimalize the evil forces inside the party. Let the organization be small in volume; but that is good enough to save the Communist Party Organization. Communism is a flowing stream with swift current. There is no end of Communism because exploitations are coming down on us in dreadful way. Naturally conception of ifs and buts should not be indulged in any way.
