It is an ominous sign of the breakdown of our uncivil socialist government that the Central State Police ministry has issued a warning that all those who "speak in favour of Maoist guerrillas will face legal action and 10 years imprisonment." This is not Law, nor is this Legislation. This is just administrative diktat.
I wonder what these monkeys who wield the Sword of State (bandar ke haath mein talwar) will do to the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities? The PCPA is the spearhead of the popular rebellion against the Communist State in West Bengal, and are sympathetic to the Maoists.
Perhaps these apes wearing the "uniforms of brutality" will begin by arresting every JNU professor. Jawaharlal Nehru University, after all, produced the chief ideologue of the Maoists in Nepal.
Meanwhile, it is reported that the Maoists in Jharkhand are opposing a project of ArcelorMittal - in precisely the same manner that they are opposing projects of the Steel Authority. The "authority" upon which the legitimacy of this mammoth State-owned undertaking rests is Maoism, or "collective property."
Commenting on Maoism in the journal of the Centre for a Stateless Society, Kevin Carson writes that the "economically illiterate have no property rights." We thus have economically illiterate Maoists on all sides - in the State and against it.
So the pot is calling the kettle black.
Meanwhile, there is news of the Supreme Court's decision on the price of Reliance gas. This is not a "constitutional issue" - which should merit the attention of such an elevated court. Rather, the matter has come to the court because the State is Maoist - and believes it "owns" all the gas in the country: collective property once again. Perhaps all the judges of this Maoist kangaroo court should be arrested too.
What about the Director of the IAS Academy? - which instructs the elite bureaucracy to govern using collectivist principles, violating Private Property (as I have earlier reported). There is big news today that the current IAS exam topper is an MBBS doctor from Kashmir. Precisely! What does an MBBS doctor know about civil administration? If the Academy teaches him Maoism, he will be a Maoist.
Pot calling the kettle black once again.
Let us not forget that in Chacha Nehru's time, the "evil professors" of Delhi U were all admirers of Chairman Mao and his totalitarianism. The Communists parties who are now in Parliament, opposing the Maoist rebels, then claimed that "China's Chairman is our Chairman." Forgotten?
In sum, this is a clientelistic State. Client Commies are OK; rebel Commies are not. Commie professors hold sinecures; Commie Supreme Court judges decide gas prices; Commie politicians are in cohorts with Chacha Manmohan and the CONgress; Commie administrators rule the land. Everything is about The Collective. The rebel Commies are a disturbing element to them. They, and their supporters and sympathizers, must be destroyed, according to the Central State Police.
Ultimately, good government is based on sound intellectual understanding of social and economic issues. In India, this understanding is faulty - and the Total Chacha State wants to COMPULSORILY teach us all. Arrest every teacher!
Why not arrest Chacha Manmohan too! - I say. Can't this "collectivist" (who refuses to privatize Air India) also be called a Maoist? He's the pot calling the kettle black. Lock him up. And throw away the key.
GREAT piece!!!! Very thoughtful.
