We want capital, socialism not possible now: Basu

The Left parties in India had never any ideology, the plank on which they are supposed to carry on their political work. They have never been on the "right" side of the situation and have therefore been "left" out in most parts of the country. The "Left" hand of the communists does not know what the "Right" hand is doing and they are only making fools of themselves. All their leaders have gone past their prime and hence this disenchantment from the hard realities. They survive on the anti-BJP platter and are today so measely as to be totally dependent on the Congress Party, of all the other combinations. Their so called "young brigade" too is 'left' out of ideas and they are seen trying their hands at solving problems across the borders while "Nandigram" is still boiling. Let charity begin at home. They had better realise the fact that their services are required for only trade union activity- lockouts, dharnas, strikes etc. and they had better leave the political thinking to the 'fight' thinking intelligentsia and the watchful media.

at last west bengal relieved of clutches of idoiotic nonprogressive comunism

If the veteren nonogenarian marxist say something it should be right! So if he says Cpitalism is Socialism(he may say so a few weeks later)it should be right. A true marxist can't go wrong; can do no wrong! He can call another politician a capitalist; and the word is a dirty one. When he wants capital(for the State!)and he calls on Capitalists and entreats them to invest in his State the word automatically wears an aura and bears a sweet smell! And those who fails to understand and to assimilate the sudden 'ulta' are fools, to use the mildest invective! Green Back Salute! Sterling Salute! Mark Salue!, Jyoti Da!

Mr. Basu, thanks for being honest, finally.

If Communism is a byegone thing in the world what is the Commies fighting for and fooling the people of the country and perpetrated genocide in thier own Governed State.

Jothi Basu learned from his life time experience, uncontested growth pattern of china, Down fall of Russian empire force us to accept some of the bitter truth. Jothi Basu always a great leader of India

Kudos to Bamponth for taking the lead in becoming the capitalisitic class. The money they have made by ruling in name of Commieism must be used as capital so that Bamponthis and their superior Leftist children become richer and more powerful and establish true seclularism under their dynasties for the uneducated masses and middle class of comnunal Hindoosthan. The same has happened in most advanced superpower of the world, the greatest democracy and commie nation of Chin. Even the same happened in Animal Farm when pigs became the ruling Marxist class of the farm. This is the inevitale course of History, and only by this method can statesmen like Budda, SOmnath, Karate, Achutiyanandan, Surjeet, Bhunda, et al. can bring enlightenment to proletariat, especially minroties, OBC, SC And ST. Under the governance of Chin and by selling land to East India Company, great Bamponthi statesmen can bring capitalistic investment to Bongal! CEnturies ago, East India Company brought foreign direct investment into SEZ's first time in Bongal, and established socialism there, and used the base to create communism in whold of comnunal Hindoosthan where minroties were being oppressed by upper cast comnunal HIndoos. IT is now the duty of BAsu, Budda, and other greate Bamponthi leaders of Bongal to establish the same utopia as Marx Mao and Lenin came and told them in their dreams.

Dont Go to Bengal - It has become a state of hypocrites. Even by the standards of bengalee hypocrisy, this takes the cake.

Since 60s of the last century we have been watching the red brigade doing to West Bengal what Talibans did in Afganistan opposing everything modern, progressive and forward-looking. After long last, it seems, wisdom has dawned on them. Education for the masses has been destroyed. They are enemies of education to the people. The lowest strata has been the worst to suffer in the processs.They have pampered the upper castes in the name and under the cover of an ideology. The present government in W. Bengal has 16 Brahmin of 33 cabinet ministers, though they account for 3.5% population of the state. Not one tribal holds a cabinet rank as minister there! Only 5 ministers are Muslim with 23% population. Still many feel they apppease them.Everywhere one can see three castes---Brahmin, Kayasth and Baidya---in position of influence,affluence, gain and dominance. What comrades have been doing in Bengal in last 30 years, Mr. Narendra Modi is attempting that! He would do without raising dust if he takes lessons in Alimuddin Street, Kolkata. What else?

Spoiled a generation... These red flags will lick anywhere for money..

This guy screwed WB all his life, served the Russian and Chinese and Muslims and now says socialism is not good. Who is responsible for the repression of the party members? He enjoyed the top position while partymembers shivered under inhumane commusinst regulations.

Jyothi Basu, ever since the Communists began controlling politics in Kerala and West Bengal, you guys have systematically destroyed the industrial environment in these states. While sermoning proletariates of the world to unite, unite and be strong, you have motivated them to hate the providers of capital. People who worked hard, saved their hard earned income and helped capital formation have become the enemy of the proletariates. Communist movement has promoted irreligion and militancy among young people who have no other resource except their (physical health, which they are unwilling to use), The party has few leaders who know how the society works and what is economics. There was a time when your cohorts used to make midnight visits to people whom they considered "Rich," and to distribute their wealth to the common men. Your cohorts used to threaten public hearings against professionals like doctors to coerce them to provide free service to people. Your proletariates idle in workplaces and harrass their supervisors. Now you say the days of socialism is over and "Come Capitalism." Do you mean, the days of "Communism is over?" Are you planning to lower the red flags? What are your plans for your polit bureau and the rank and file communists? Are you planning to join Congress (Sonia). The axis of evil of Congress-Communist-Muslim League has been in de facto existence for a long time. You have your main enemy..........the communal Hindus. Know this, though, that capital leaves even before you ask it to leave, but does not come at your invitation.

It is not a change of heart or not even a compulsion. The order has come from China. These commies came to power in the most industrialized state in India and moved it to below avrage(by per capita GDP) despite having a huge locational and relatively well-educated manpower.

Atlast Basu came out openly against socialism. It will be interesting to see what other leaders like Karat and Yechuri have to say. Militant attitude of left parties are over and it is time for the people of India to learn from this comment of Basu. The communist and so called left movements are not at all needed today. India can walk into more prosperity and stability once these curses are removed from the country. Let us hope next election will have proper answer to these leftists goons.

Having been the CM of Bengal for almost three decades and having perpetuated distribution of poverty and not wealth, Jyoti Basu has got a real dawn of wisdom.Yes sir, capitalist investment is necessary and will generate wealth which YOU can distribute to your loyals!!!!!!!

Head chameleon has changed colors - rest of the herd will do the same soon.

Communism/socialism,was and is a low grade,retrograde,discredited and a bogus idelogy,which lacked substance and authenticity.It was a perverse canard devised by cabal of gerryatrics,tyrants,despots,fasciists and bolsheviks,whose agenda was under the garb of Communism,was to take the ignorants,misinformed,gullible peasants for a ride,by promising them the Paradise,in the cloud cucooland. Finally this myth and fallacy has been exploded and this mystified discredited idelogy has been dubunked there is now no turning back. The road to prosperity, wealth and job creation,is one way, that is to impement market economy, induce FDI,enhanced productivity and Capitalism. This should be the sole Mantra,all other socialist hoopla has failed to uplift the poor and the wretched. In fact like all öther failed socialist states has accentuated greater and endemic poverty,including Communists much vaunted and boasted Agrarian revolution.,the frmers per capita income has regressed over the years,this is a FACT,therefore the time is of the oportune to change strategy and move on with Capitalist system,which will in the long run will lay the Golden Egg.Millions of poor West Bengalis will benefit. So now go ahead and industrialise as fast as possible and reform the system.

Socialism's main goal hould be to encourage individuals to stand up and utilize the resources with out solely or wholly depending up on the Governement.

jyoti basu is the most disgusting commie,after having destroyed the hopes which he had promised to work for the millions of workers during his time of prime, leading people to strike whenever he would please and making them fools eventually having given all the impetus to his son's private business (capitalist). now he is talking of capitalism! disgusting once again

Finally a small part of their brain is working now. May this extend to other parts of their decaying brains and they realize the misery they have caused the nation. Amen!!

Jyoti Basu has destroyed Bengal and Bengalis. What British and Mughal rule could not do for hundreds of years, he did it in 30 years. He is the messaaih to convert Bengal into an Islamist baston, allowing unchecked illegal Bangladeshi muslim infiltrations. Basu was the voice against Assam student movement, which was fighting to flush-out illegal Bangladeshi muslims from Assam. Today, about 25% of Bengals population are muslims, which was less than 10% at the time of partion 1947. Wake up Bengalis and save your state, else you will become like Kashmiri Hindus.

Jyoti babu is right,left party is working in a capitalist system whatever best possible undercapitalist system that should be done for best interest of people.People's interest should be above all in politics in a democratic nation.

Still pending :Return of :1. democratic values in rural areas2. unpoliticised education sector3. social and business environment fee of state sponsored mafia party cadres4. free uncluttered and unfiltered information flow to all areas including rural5. good work culture and discipline free of Left promoted militant and inefficient culture6. society free of corruption at all points of all levels7. pure and uncorrupted idealogy of Socialism to make use of the capitalism and bring the gains of open economy to the villageUse the strengths of West Bengal to result in economic growth is all sectorsWe all want to go back to our Bengal achieving freedom from the corrupted socialism.
