For aNew Communist Resurgence.
Afterthefall ofthe.Berlin Wall in 1989 and the disintegration ofthe mighty Soviet Union in 1990, bourgeois.
think-tanks and academia of the West reveled in hysteric caterwaul. The· death of Marxism and Socialism was.
proclaimed; the age ofmeta-narratives was finally over; the last oppressiveness ofthe 'modern' was finally over,.
and the post-modern had, at last, begun! The hired hack ofthe imperialist Rand Corporation, Francis Fukuyama,.
trumpeted the ultimate victory ofliberal bourgeois democracy and thus, the End of History! However, afew years.
.
back in 2007, when Francis Fukuyama was in 11ndia Today Conclave' to deliver a lecture on the challenges before.
the New World (which, ofcourse, for the likes of Fukuyama, means a world with the Anglo-Saxon axis at the helm.
ofthe affairs and neo-con czars ruling the roost around the globe!), he opined thatthe most dangerous challenges.
before the liberal bourgeois democracy today are Maoism and Islamic Terrorism. Islamic terrorism is the.
.
Frankenstein created by Imperialism which does not have any systemic utopia to realize; it is the product of a.
reaction and therefore does not have any positive proposal for the future, except the fantasies of an imagined.
past. But why was Fukuyama so worried about Maoism, which according to him, was already a spent force almost.
two decades ago? IfSocialism and Marxism were dead, why so many books, articles, etc are written every year to.
refute it again and again? Why the imperialist media is still untiringly waging it5 crusade againSt CommuniSm and.
Bolshevik Revolution? .
.
Now, the period of capitalist triumphalism is over; world capitalist system is submerged in the mire ofthe.
stubborn crisis which began with the subprime crisis in the US in 2007. The epicentre ofcrisis is shifting eastwards.
every year. By 20C9 the epicentre ofthe economic upheaval had shifted to the European Union and taken the form.
of sovereign debt crisis which still plagues several European countries and especially Greece, Spain, Italy and.
Portugal. In 2011, the epicentre shifted even eastwards and the growth rates of celebrated Eastern engines of.
.
global growth, China and India, recorded their all-time low in almost a decade. One could expect that in the.
coming 2-3 years the Asian giants will be caught in the whirl ofimperialist crisis even more seriously. Everyyearthe.
finance ministers of different countries claim that soon the crisis will be over; claims of recovery are made every.
now.·and then; but the crisis is proving too stubborn and systemic to go away. In such a situation of gloom, the.
imperialist bosses are reading Marx to understand the sheer lunacy of the capitalist financial system that they.
themselves have created! (Sarkozy was caught red-handed by the media, while reading oas Capital when he was.
still the president of France!) The age of postmodernism', 'poststructuralism', 'post-... '.... seems to be overforthe.
university academe worldwide; while some are claiming that they never were postmodernist:;, othe-rs contend.
.
that they subscribed ~o a version of postmodernism which was not hostile to Marxism; stlll ot~ers argue that they.
only learnt a thing or two from postmodernism to cure Marxism of economic determinism and class.
reductionism, etc. They have, for quite some time now, been talking "'!bout a 'return to' Marx', 'resurgence of.
socialism', 'revival of Marxism', etc, simply not realizing that Marx and Marxism had always been there all this.
.
while, when the ideological myopia had gripped ~he bourgeois academe and university :ntelligentsia; when thewave of skepticism had taken over even various communist revolutlonaries and ~hinkers around the world andthey were pondering over a revision ofthe Marxisttheses; when, with the imminent arrival of'crisis following ~hefall ofthe USSR, various Left academicians ar.d ·~hinkers had gone on the 'philosophical vocation', in the words of.
louiseAlthusser! That period is certainly over now. But what ~ypesof 'return to Marx' are in vogue these da"ys? Arethey really agenuine :-eturn to Marx? We will discuss these 'ssues a little later..
Its clear as daylight now that the period following the ~all =>f the Soviet Union has been a witness to theincreasingly crisis-ridden and decadent capital:sm. The world capitalist system now plunges i:1to recession and.
slump at the dr-.:>p ::>f the hat. It is more prone to crisis than ever. The unproductive nature of capitalism has.
increased in an unprecedented manner and speculation ar.d unproductive stock market investment rules the.
world economy. The excessively fragile nature ofthis ~erminally diseased system ;s demonstrated by the fact that.
now an individual broker-cum-speculator like George ~orescan bring .:.boutatotal.:ollapse ofthe financial systern.
and inaugurate a global slow-down. Evidently, capitalism has become more crises-ridden, moribund,.
misanthropic, and decacent than ever and it can only giJe war, destruction, starvation, ecological disaster,unemployment, malnutrition, homelessness and povet:y to the people. of the world. It has exhausted all itspositive and progressive iJOtentialities one and a half centuries ago and now it has reached a dead end. RosaLuxemburg had ...
mce said ~hat the humanity has only two alternatives: socialism or barbarism. Now, itcan be saidthatthe hu rna nity '"'as onlytwo alternatives: Socialism orAnnihilation. .
