Maoism and their cause ( Sympathizers View) is one of the main topics of TV shows these days. Sympathizers feel that Maoism is a result of capitalism in the country and lack of even development for all sections of the community..
I find this thought hard to digest because the more I think of it, I cant understand what really does these two ideologies profess & who follows them…
Couple of years back, during the age & times of USSR, may be this was an active ideology splitting the world into loyalty towards the two super powers…
But What about now.. what does US profess.. the superpower of the capitalist world, believes that profits are for keeps by the multi billion asset companies and if there is a loss then it is borne by the tax payers ( the 1 Trillion debt waive off / or stimulus package).. and wars are surely paid from the tax payer’s money.. This is surely socialism turned upside down… Profits to the companies & Losses to the nation community…
How about the Socialistic Country China… Companies belong to the state.. but the community is suppressed by the be-all’s & end –all’s of governing bodies.. They decide who speaks what, what to wear, how to communicate, what to learn, where to work, what to eat and everything else which a basic human being should be able to decide without help from the “ community ”.. So here is an example of twisted capitalism… “ Power to the people, but no power to think or decide by oneself”…
And of course there are countries like India, which is capitalistic & socialistic..it is caught in between.. Declaring Capitalism will create unrest in CPI ( nearing extinction)..some flares like Maoists.. & professing socialism means declaring yourself as Anti – Development and non futuristic country and also bring on the wrath of FDI’s & FII’s…
Isn’t this confusing enough….

Interesting article... like the good old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whatever a group of people like and willing make a difference will create history BUT except in India. We are neither socialistic, nor capitalists.... on top of all we call ourselves DEMOCRATICS!
I guess this happens for many such idealism, ultimately it is neither black or white, it is always grey...
