Amid war of words between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the BJP over successes and failures of the government in Kerala, The Washington Post바카라 웹사이트on Sunday바카라 웹사이트published a front page article on the southern state, describing it as “one of the few places on earth where a Communist can still dream.”
The article came after President Ram Nath Kovind바카라 웹사이트on Friday바카라 웹사이트lavished praise on바카라 웹사이트Kerala라이브 바카라바카라 웹사이트achievements in health, education, tourism and IT sectors, and termed the southern state, with its inherent resources and strength, as a potential powerhouse of digital India while launching the state government's ambitious Technocity project near Thiruvananthapuram.바카라 웹사이트
The Washington Post바카라 웹사이트said: “Instead of being associated with repression or failure, the party (Communist Party) of Marx is widely associated with huge investments in education that have produced a 95 percent literacy rate, the highest in India, and a health-care system where citizens earning only a few dollars a day still qualify for free heart surgery.”

The article, written by Greg Jaffe and Vidhi Doshi, also highlighted an interesting journey, with curious nuggets for those unfamiliar of the CPI(M)라이브 바카라 history in the state. For instance, it talks of how a musical play Neengalennai Communistakki (You Made Me a Communist) played a big role in popularising Left thinking in the 1950s and helped the CPI (M) to its first electoral victory in 1957.
“Unlike communists in China, Latin America or Eastern Europe, party leaders in Kerala never seized factories — the ‘means of production’, in the words of Marx — or banned private property. Instead, they competed in elections with the center-left Indian National Congress party, winning some years and losing others,” the article added.
Interestingly, praises from Kovind and The바카라 웹사이트Washington Post바카라 웹사이트stand in stark contrast to BJP leaders’ attempts to stigmatise Kerala during a state-wide rally against violence attended by national leaders like BJP president Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief minister Yogi Adityanth who had advised Kerala to take healthcare lessons from his state. The ill-informed advice proved counterproductive as Kerala, with its world-class health indicators, was no comparison to Uttar Pradesh, a BIMARU state where children were dying due to lack of oxygen supply in the Yogi라이브 바카라 constituency.
Putting Kerala finance minister Thomas Isaac at the centre, the article traced the story of the lifelong Communist who began his political journey by picketing his own father라이브 바카라 factory.
“We are trying to build our dream state in this fascist India!” Isaac told the newspaper.
바카라 웹사이트“If you don’t negotiate with these workers, I will be with them on the picket line,” the article quotes him as recalling saying to his father.
On the바카라 웹사이트Indian communism라이브 바카라 future, Isaac said :바카라 웹사이트“The deterioration of capitalism is an inevitability, and it라이브 바카라 happening fast... Humans cannot be so narrow-minded and profit-oriented forever.”바카라 웹사이트
