A survey was carried out (result is shown in above picture).
In case one wishes to leave India, what will one do? The options were “Leave
India”, “Remain in India” and “Undecided”!
The sample was small, where only 542 voters participated,
but it gave an overwhelming vote in support of “Leave India”, more than 70%!
What does it indicate? We may or may not extrapolate it on
all over India, and also, if sample is bigger, may not repeat this outcome, but
this shows something loud and clear.
The “nationalism”, even in fascism (A form of social
movement, albeit very reactionary, seen in Nazis’ Germany, post Shah’s Iran or
the present India), is not enough carrot to the individual men and women not to
look for better life, may be out of India.
Further, in comment section, people have opined that they
will not prefer USA, but yes to Scandinavian countries. Some have agreed to
remain in the country and fight back the anti-people government, it’s
dictatorship. Despite that, it is evident that people’s first choice is life, a
life where employment, housing, medical facilities, leisure time, respect are
available, they are against all sorts of injustice, exploitation and discrimination.
Nationalism, personality cultism, identity politics are due
ignorance, superstition and lack of other progressive, creative activities and
scientific education. The state and its machineries, like media, social media
through paid trolls and lumpen workers & youths, Information and
Broadcasting Ministry, and supported by judiciary, police (The incidence of
Vikas Dubey is an example), Secret Services, etc.
An ideology, based on science and for people’s struggle for
a real democracy (For the people, by the people and of the people) is,
seemingly, dead. This is not only in India but the world over. This
degeneration accelerated after the demise of USSR in 1991 (Where capitalism was
already restored and the USSR was akin to Social Imperialism). New liberalism
(After globalization, reform and similar slogans and their economic, political policies
failed or had lived their lives.) was enforced in most of the country, under
the leadership of USA and its allies, and the people, world over, lost their
political and social rights, economic “freedom”. A large section of them were
thrown out of the main production circle, and had to join informal sectors at
much lower wages and even worse became paupers, where they stopped resembling
humans.
In recent times, Neo-Liberalism too has lived its life and
the ruling class, the bourgeoisie was forced to find new ways to plunder the
working class and the oppressed people, the public property and the natural
resources, so that it can continue extracting high rate of profit, which it was
unable to do so through market. Capitalism is forced to face the dreaded
tendency of falling profit rate as well as swelling of reserve army of labor
and its resistance, which temporarily looks satisfactory during the boom days
or lesser economic crisis days.
So, we have fascism, a form of social movement, where a
section of the population becomes close allies of the ruling class for material
gains and even, more than that, for reactionary ideologies, very discernible
phenomenon in India, since last 6 years.
This trend, fascism, is visible in many other countries,
with different characteristics, suiting to their national character, historical
cultural and social conditions, economic situation and political preparations
of the capitalist class, and other various conditions which corelate with the
working class political training, their trade unions and revolutionary parties
preparedness to counter the attack of the enemy class. Fascism uses religion,
nationalism, other existing discrimination in the society, which enables it to
make the minorities as sworn enemy of the majority of the society. The sole aim
is to plunder the working class and create maximum surplus value and as a collateral
damage, the working class is deprived of its unity and resistance power, and is
subjugated to the extreme state sponsored atrocities, which includes
imprisonments, murders, mob lynching. The degradation of living condition is,
but, natural.
And, in this condition, if 70% people opt to migrate to
other countries, of course in hunt for better life, it is worthy of further
inspection. Here lies the task of the revolutionary forces. Yes, the skepticism
is natural and genuine. The voters were not the workers and the peasants, whom
we witness in daily life, on road in millions, like we saw them during
lockdown. Also, many of these voters are not in favor of struggle. They are
“Chocolate soldiers”, do not mind working for good living, good pay and perks,
but no struggle against the class enemy!! Yes, the middle class and the petty
bourgeois class are the most vacillating class in any society, so the outcome
has to be treated with caution, not a milestone.
Revolution needs unity and struggle of the working class,
peasants and other allies. But it needs a revolutionary party, which has revolutionary
ideology. The proletarian class lacks these “privileges” in present crisis and
hence in such bad condition, is bereft of direction and material support to
live. On the other hand, the capitalist class cannot survive without the
proletarian class, which creates surplus value. Despite their dependence on
each other, their relation is that of the two sworn enemies. This
irreconcilable contradiction leads to mass movement, and this must be tapped by
the revolutionary party to ensure the successful revolution.
Revolutionary situation is ripening, visible from other
surveys, with much bigger samples, which shows how desperate is the mass to get
rid of fascism and the ground realities, pouring in every day. And the crux of the whole analysis is this,
prepare to use the forthcoming revolutionary situation.
