If you ever come across any communist in my home state of Kerala (trust me, there are a lot of them around!) and if he/she paints for you a romantic image of communism - please ask him - “Got Milk?”
Communism is flawed. All the means of production can’t be controlled by the government. Not even the politburo can control or manage that. It hasn’t worked anywhere in the world. Why is that our comrades in Kerala get it? Now, don’t get me wrong, I do agree with some of the leftist ideology and I am particularly found of socialism if it is social - but communism is a totally different ball game.
Sure, the comrades will sing praises for Castro, Saddam, Zimbabwe, Iran and Sudan (why? don’t ask) - spite venom on the US and they think is imperialist but they do know how to beg. Last month, the God’s Own Country’s Food and Civil Supplies Minister C. Divakaran started his South Indian Grand Begging Tour - first to Tamil Nadu, Karanataka (for milk!) and now to Maharashtra. Why don’t you ask Castro or Kim in North Korea or the dude in Zimbabwe? What did you say? - Same problem? Hmm… I wonder why?
