IS COMMUNISM A SOLUTION TO GLOBAL CALAMITIES?


Liberalisation, Privatisation, Globalisation, Foreign Direct Investment, Foreign Institutional Investors, Bulls, Bears, Speculation, Hedging, Equity, Growth, Profits,Inflation, Recession, Depression, Risk,Joint Ventures, mergers, terror,Aquisitions etc all these terms have evolved post capitalistic Economies.


Karl Marx in his Books- Communist Manifesto and Das Capital had constantly focussed on the domination of Communism in Asia and rest of the world. His vision was to see a World full of Communism. Communism mainly aimed at establishing a society characterised by equal distribution of Income where the disparities between the rich and poor does not exist paving way for "Zero- Tragedy" Society- A society where events like Financial Meltdown, Recession, Depression, Retrenchments, lay offs, Unemployment, Foreclosures, Liquidity crunch , rate cuts etc does not arise . These kind of economies were left far behind by the capitalistic economies which were sailing along the Economic growth tide paving way for the creation of "Enterpreneurship" whose main aim was to screw the customer to the maximum extent possible( In harsh terms). the Profit bug had driven the enterpreneurs to indulge in series of acts like Innovation , artificially creating a need and want for the people to exercise, The multiplier effect of many such events had over a period of time resulted in so called" Development, Progress, Growth,Standard of Living".

I am not against the benefits which Capitalism had resulted in , but i am Against the innumerable aftermaths of a Capitalistic Economy. History reveals that the passion to Growth and Development has resulted in Countries like France, UK, USA exploring countries like India etc and making them their colonies giving rise to Imperialism in their quest to assert supremacy over the other nations. US resorting to wars against countries like Japan, Afghanistan, Syria,Iraq,Russia( Cold War) resulting in irrepairable damage to mankind and loss of Property, Nobody can ignore the role of the US in the disintegration of the USSR,World Wars had been a constant threat, Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when UNO was formed on the 24th of October, 1945 with US enjoying the VETO Power by becoming a permanent member of UNO. But UN over a period of time had become a puppet in the hands of the US as it(UNO) turned a deaf ear to the the attacks of the US on the other countries, UNO itself has been a mute spectator to the sufferings of the African Nations like Egypt,Uganda,Somalia,Kenya, Angola,Mozambique, Rwanda, Sierra Congo,Sudan,Zimbabwe etc. Countries like Sierra leonne has the highest number of People whose deaths are due to Poverty law & Order crisis. Most of the african nations are known for their Massive killings, Law & Order problems, Lunacracy( I think dis is the apt word)- Govt run by lunatics, poverty, Unemployment, Child Massacres, Kidnaps, Ruling by armed forces, drug peddling, Smuggling of weapons and what not. Not to forget is the race for the nuclear arms, Country like India spends billions of dollars on purchase of arms and ammunition , India spends a whopping $20 Billion dollar on defence and remember its a developing nation, How many times hadn't terrorism striked the world, How many times haven't people lost billions of their fortunes in the Stock market mayhem?


Dont u think, capitalism & Its add ons are the root cause for all these problems? Communism On the other hand aimed at making the world a better place to live. As a human being irrespective of Capitalism or Communism, I believe in" Live and Let live", what's ur call?
