Kerala alliance to launch agitations.
By Akhel Mathew, Correspondent .
Thiruvananthapuram: The opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala yesterday decided to launch a series of agitations against "the inept and lifeless" Left Democratic Front (LDF) government. The decision coincides with a number of recent developments that have adversely affected the image of the ruling LDF. They include group war in the Communist Party of India-Marxist that leads the LDF, the SNC Lavalin graft scam and the furore over a loan agreement with Asian Development Bank. Soon after the UDF meeting, its convener P. P. Thankachan said serious internal conflicts within the CPI-M and the ineptitude of ministers handling important portfolios had effectively brought the government to a standstill. Chief Minister V. S. Achuthanandan and his party leaders were speaking in different voices about the decision on the ADB loan. He also observed that 56 farmers had committed suicide since the LDF came to power and the ministry was doing little to address the issue. Three farmers had ended their life on Tuesday. .
ADB issue sets in motion a public battle within Kerala CPI(M) .
Financial Express, AJAYAN Posted online: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 at 0000 hours IST KOCHI: The controversy kicked up by the Rs 1,607-crore Asian Development Bank loan for sustainable urban development has put at stake the very sustainability of the seven-month old VS Achuthadanandan-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala. .
The babel talk on the loan by two groups in the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and claims of the chief minister not knowing how the deal was struck has literally seen ADB spread a death bed for the government. The dialectics have been inexplicable for the CPI(M) that led the campaign against ADBs entry into the state. More than the theoretical issues, it is the game of one-upmanship in the party that has come to the fore, with the chief minister being nudged to a corner by his own party and cabinet colleagues. .
While the loan move was initiated by the erstwhile Congress-led United Democratic Front government, the LDF, led by the CPI(M), had taken the issue to the streets. The ADB team that arrived in the state for discussions had to face violent agitation from the party and its youth wing. VS had then said that ADB would be swept away from the state. .

"The Fontana Maggiore, a masterpiece of medieval sculpture, placed in the centre of Piazza IV Novembre (formerly Piazza Grande), is the monument symbol of the city of Perugia.
The fountain was prepared in a workshop and then assembled in the centre of the square; it was made of stone from Assisi. The fountain consists of two concentric polygonal marble basins, on top a bronze cup (by the artisan Rosso Padellaio from Perugia) decorated with a coloured bronze group of feminine figures (perhaps nymphs) out of which comes the water.
The lower basin is made up of 25 mirrors, each divided into 2 tiles that describe the 12 months of the year, each of which is related to a zodiac symbol. Each month is connected to scenes of daily life and the characteristic farming work. As in other contemporary sculptures from Europe, in which the months are represented, here the manual work obtains dignity.[5] In this basin manual labour is in fact represented together with the arti liberali (liberal arts), with philosophy, with characters from the Bible and the history of Rome; in this specific order:
• The month of January (a gentleman and his wife at the hearth – Aquarius)
• The month of February (two fishermen - Pisces)
• The month of March (the "spinario" and the pruning of the vineyard - Aries)
• The month of April (two allegories of spring - Taurus)
• The month of May (two Knights on Falconry - Gemini)
• The month of June (the harvest and flailing - Cancer)
• The month of July (the threshing and the division of wheat - Lion)
• The month of August (the fig harvest - Virgo)
• The month of September (the crushing of must - Libra and the grape harvest)
• The month of October (the filling up of casks - Scorpion and the construction of casks)
• The month of November (the ploughing - Sagittarius and the sowing)
• The month of December (the slaughter of the pork - Capricorn)
• The Lion Guelph and the Griffin of Perugia
• Grammar and Dialectic
• Rhetoric and Arithmetic
• Geometry and Music
• Astronomy and Philosophy
Two eagles, on the right one the signature of Giovanni Pisano
• The Original Sin and the expulsion from Eden
• Samson kills the Lion and Samson and Dalila
• David triumphant and Goliath defeated
• Romulus and Remus (represented as two falconers)
• The she-wolf that fed Romulus, Remus and their mother Rea Silvia
• Two of Aesop's fables (the fox and the crane and the wolf and the lamb)"

~sol.a~ion it gives an impression as if Mao's emphasis was on gaining proficiency in the use of arms only and hence the extremist line of md1~1dual terror was enqorsed by him. But the truth was just the reverse. Mao made this comment when he was explaining a particular tact1~s of s~ruggl~ and stressing before the party workers its due importance in the then particular prevailing situation of semi-feudal. se~1-colomal ~hma, where warlords subservient to one or theother imperialist forces were engaged in wars among themselves and had the1r own arm1es. To confront these warlords for creating and holding on red bases in the countryside, the communists had to take up arms. In Mao's words,"...because of the feudal division of the country, those which have more guns, have more power. Placed in such an environment the party of the proletariat shouldclearly see to the heart of the matter." Hence,"... without armed struggle the proletariat and the communist party would have no standing at all in China, and it would be impossible to accomplish any revolutionary task" .
(SW.Vol.ll, p-222-24) .
But was such an observation in negation of the fact that it is the people imbued with correct ideology who constitute the most powerful weapon in the revolutionary battle? Mao himself provided the clarmcation, .....the so-called theory that 'weapons decide everything'... constitutes a mechanical approach... weapons are important factor in war, but not .
"Victory cannot be won with the vanguard alone. To throw the vanguard alone in the decisive battle, before the whole class, before the broad masses have taken up a position either of direct support of the vanguard, or at least of benevolent neutrality towards it, and one in which they cannot possibly support the enemy, would be not merely folly but a crime." .

the decisive factor, it is the people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only of a military and economic power, but also of a contest of human power and moral." (SW.Vol.ll, p-143). .
The Naxals attempt to fight the mighty Indian state without gaining the support of the vast masses of our population. They have forgotten the invaluable teaching of Lenin, "Victory cannot be won with the vanguard alone. To throw the vanguard alone in the decisive battle, before the whole class, before the broad masses have taken up a position either of direct support of the vanguard, or at least of benevolent neutrality towards it, and one in which they cannot possibly support the enemy, would be not merely folly but a crime." (Left Wing Communism an Infantile Disorder) .
3. The politics of Individual killings has nothing to do with Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong thoughts .
The politics of individual killings was never advocated by any Marxist authority. Revolutionaries respect others' life more than anybody else. It rs the ruling class which resorts to state terrorism though the use of its military and police force to crush people's resistance and such an order can be changed through revolution. Revolutionaries beleive in consciosly organized mass uprising not in individual killings. .
Ideological bankruptcy starts from name itself .
By calling themselves Maoists and naming the party as CPI (Maoist), the leaders of this outfit, by implication, are giving an impression as if there is something known as Maoism, distinct from Marxism-Leninism. We know il was Karl Marx who formulated the comprehensive philosophy of Dialectical Materialism and historically determined course of social progress through the class struggle between working class and capitalists. So, after the name of the thinker, we call this ideology as Marxism. With the emergence of the 20mcentury the era has qualitatively changed from the pre-imperialist stage to the imperialist stage. It was great Lenin who in the course of his historical struggle developed the fundamental theses on working class struggle in the new era and developed it in all domains. So today we call it Marxism-Leninism. Stalin, worthy continuer of Marx-Engels-Lenin, correctly observed that "Leninism is Marxism in the era of imperialism, war and proletarian revolution." In course of applying Marxism in the concrete conditions of the Chinese revolution,~om. Mao Zed?ng had developed and concretized Marxis~-Leninismand thus emeerged Marxism-Leninism-~ao Ze~o~g t~oughts. That 1s why we cons1der Mao Zedong a Marxist authority. But tt would be wrong to say Mao's thought as Mao1sm as 1t mdtcates the emergence of a new philosophy, something different from Marxism-Leninism. Mao himself rejected the formulation of Lin Biao that there is something called .
"Maoism". .

The overarching purpose of all this analysis is supposed to be justice, an end to the.
oppression Fanon is experiencing and telling us about. In describing the ways that all blacks are.
not free, Fanon is demanding a change: freedom for everyone. My concern is that a misreading.
of Fanon, an attempt to achieve justice via an already worked out concept of race, will fail to.
liberate. Joy James ends one important anthology of Fanon studies by reminding us of the.
importance of first seeing Fanon as a liberation theorist and second understanding what it takes.
to actually do liberatory work. In "`Bread and Land': Frantz Fanon's `Native Intellectual'" James.
reminds us that Fanon is always.
.
reminding intellectuals that radical liberatory theory serves those lacking.
sufficient land and bread. ... Fanon warns us not only of intellectual concealment,.
but against an intellectualism that distances itself from the specificity of justice.
struggles in order to offer truncated concepts of liberation and a myopic view of.
repression.32.
.
Similarly Kruks' most basic concern is reinvigorating a notion of identity politics that neither.
oversteps its bounds by requiring inaccessible abstract universals or a subjective solipsism and.
that can also return to its earlier invocations which called not only for recognition but for a.
redistribution of material goods.33 Bernasconi is also focused on Fanon's liberatory struggles..
The general purpose of the essay "Casting the Slough: Fanon's New Humanism for a New.
Humanity" is to defend and encourage Fanon's work toward justice. Bernasconi concludes with.
a warning that "theoreticians should avoid trying to disarm [the old order] ahead of time by.
presuming that they always know where it will lead."34 Of course, that final remark is meant to.
claim that the end of racialism may not be the end of the dialectic of identity. So, there is an.
appropriate openness, but it is limited by first assuming the end of racial categories. And, what.
we find in common with all these readers of Fanon, along with Lewis Gordon, is their.
commitment to understand him as an existential phenomenologist. So what might go wrong.
when we do not leave the end open and are not committed to a phenomenological analysis of.
experience? We close off possibilities, and areas of study and activism fail to fulfill their.
missions. A quick look at three ostensibly liberatory projects, Critical Whiteness Studies,.
Indigenous Studies, and Development Studies, will show that the endeavors of many.
practitioners who claim to already know what various identities will (should) or will not (should.
not) mean for us truncates the projects..
.
Critical Whiteness Studies, insofar as it is almost exclusively undertaken by.
"abolitionists,"35 often fails to see what other kinds of experiences it is missing out on and how it.
alienates, rather than informs, many white folk. Surely, important work is being done by.
exposing whiteness as the norm for human being and by revealing the many (invisible) privileges.
afforded to whites. We need to understand that "Whiteness is parasitic on Blackness" and other.
