Marxists, Maoists... Is there a difference?

jun 22nd, 2009

no. they are the same thing. just like the mohammedans and christists have various sects always at each other's throats, these are two variants of the communist semites.

Marxists, Maoists... Is there a difference?

June.19 : The "liberation" of Lalgarh by Maoists is a logical upshot of the politics of violence and savagery that the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) successfully practised against its political opponents in West Bengal for over three decades. The state, in the not too distant past, was known for its high intellectual content in public discourse. Today, violence is intrinsic to its politics.

While a part of West Bengal burns, two key actors in state politics, the Congress and the CPI(M), are busy playing the blame game. The ruling Marxists and their fellow travellers (in the media and numerous NGOs) are paralysed in this crisis because of ideological confusion. The rebel Maoists are doing in Lalgarh what the Marxists have been preaching and selectively practising while dealing with dissent in West Bengal and Kerala — the Left's two stronghold states.

the Centre has banned CPI Maoists but West Bengal is still thinking. Really a difference in Idealogy is killing the common man.
