The Bengal Communists of India are busy completing their faceover in Bengal as the new face of the Communists in India.
In its attempt, to paint the picture of a new and post Marxian Bengal, a capitalist friendly Bengal, a pragmatic Bengal, the first guillitone will naturally fall on the small farmers of Bengal, in terms of inadequate compensation and forcible land acquisition on behalf of industrialists. Singur Krishijami Bachao Committee (Save Singur Farmland Committee) has been running an agitation against forcible land possession for the last eight months. Tillers and sharecroppers who till the land in Amar Sonar Bangla, are being forced to make way for a Tata Motors small car project.
How can one possibly expect, Indian Communists, to use their leverage over Indian Congress at the Centre. Afterall, neither the kulaks, nor the sharecroppers of Bengal, are friends of the revolutionary proletariat.
The bhadralok is surely emerging from the facade of years of sterile Marxist posturing, and confronting sharecroppers, women and children with the full might of the police force, in aid and support of, much needed capitalists who were disenchanted with Shri Jyoti Basu, for all these lost decades.
The Bengal Communists, are finally emerging from the shadows of sterile and outdated rhetoric. Pumping capital into Bengal, is the new mantra. And kulaks and sharecroppers will be the first casualty, surely. For afterall, that distinction was anyway never real. For the Indian communists, kulak or the sharecropper, is a farmer, and farming is no more than a means to an end - industrial subsidization and the emergence of the industrial proletariat, that will one day surely emerge, and display its revolutionary potential on the global stage, as we all watch in awe for that fabulous finale.
Bengal communists, are putting final touches to their makeover, as they handover the reigns of Bengal's capital driven industrialization, to non Marwari capitalists from progressive lands.
