DOCTOR KARL MARX

 

May 05 is the birth anniversary of Doctor Karl Marx, the world's famous socialist, economist, writer, and baptised German Jew. He is to be remembered especially in India, which, under pro-corporate religiosity fascism, accumulated wealth at one pole, and chained the society with various dangerous bonds at another pole. 

Study theories of Marxism. Integrate them into real-world action. Dialectical and historical materialism should be the philosophical foundation. Marx and Engels derived their ideas from class struggles, stressing that theory must arise from and return to practice. Lenin applied it, uniting workers and oppressed nations. Study the Communist Manifesto, Capital, and Lenin's State and Revolution, stressing dialectics, surplus value, and class struggle. If you can't study, hear from those studied, organise, and link Marxism to current conditions, and internalize materialist dialectics. Avoid dogmatism. Treat Marxism as a living guide. Join unions, lead workplace agitation against exploitation, and build solidarity among workers. Discard feudal practices right from home. Propagate, and participate in mass movements to swing the public mood toward revolution. In the current context, the party's name may not be Communist or Socialist. But aim to achieve them. In India, all the communists must unite first. Lead struggles, military preparations, and united fronts. Link the proletarian fights to the anti-imperialist efforts. Hesitancy stems from weak practice. Develop rational knowledge from perceptual data. Balance relative truth with absolute stand on proletarian lines. In workplaces or communities, refer to Marxist analysis to get improvements.
