Death of Left

This post is after the crude shock that i have had looking at the turmoil in Nandigram. The left that once used to be the champion of the poor working for a classless society seems to have got it all wrong or should i say that they have finally got it right, communism + capitalism is the way to go. To understand this I think one needs to understand the communist ideology . If you look at the state of various countries who adopted communism as a political tool for creating a socialist equitable society, they have failed (communist Europe), disintegrated (USSR) or move to capitalism. Similar is the case with Nandigram. The left after toiling with the communist\socialist ideology has finally realized that it is the capitalist economic model that works best with communist politics clearly picking a leaf from their bosses in China. I think it is a new type of land reform where the poor, the farmer, the labourer is forced to vacate his land for some MNC, the rest will be taken care of by the cadres of Buddhadeb. Further looking at the case of Taslima Nasreen and the way Nuclear deal has been handled it makes me feel that we are moving towards a political system very similar to the United States where the choice between political groups is just symbolic with the same ideology and same policies. There is no left left in India, the right is left the left is right, and they both are wrong.
