CPI (M) is destined to become larger than the Congress and the BJP in India so as to enshrine a strong Third Front in that ocean of a country. It is the fastest growing party in India. The average age of its member is 40. It is a young party. Its leadership, Prakash Karat, is young.
The Nepali Maoists could learn from the CPI (M). Come into the mainstream and take over the power. That is the surer way.
Actually if the Maoists were to take to heart my proposal for a total, transparent democracy, they might actually have something to export to them communists in India. India should be working to abolish the veto, not trying to become a member of that club that should not even exist in the first place. The UN Security Council is an anachronism.
It is a brave, new world. The future is now.
I was just reading the CPI(M) program. And their 2004 manifesto. Both could benefit tremendously if the concept of total, transparent democracy were to be taken to heart.
