CHAPTER 14

EPILOGUE
Is there anything like end of creation and life? What has been continuing
from generation to generation can hardly be imagined to an end. Yet, a
footstep becomes necessary at a particular stage within the framework of a
book. We have presented this discourse from the stand point of a general
citizen having the knowledge of a political worker. The writer is neither an
academician of a college or university nor the leader of any recognized
political party. He is not even a writer or thinker of the highest rank.
The issues of this book of such a low profile writer presented to the readers
may appear the display of audacity to top scholars.
Keeping this limitation in mind, the writer desired to place this writing ---up
to the people, political workers and fraternity initiated in Marxism in all
humility. It is the appeal of the writer to all the torch-bearers of this line of
thought to come forward with fresh blood to create a new country, a new
world piercing the cover of hopes & despondency, daylight & darkness of the
past.
The progressive ideology of Socialism and Communism are sure to fulfill the
basic needs of the people, e.g., food, clothing, shelter and stability but to
hold its promises to wider needs.
No wonder, developed states or welfare states have already succeeded in
resolving the problems of meeting such primary needs with the high
technology and surplus money collected through imperialist exploitation. The
people of these countries will continue to enjoy the benefit and lead to a
better standard of living in comparison to less developed states, till the
continuance of imperialist exploitation and the unequal technological growth.
Yet, the goal of the transformation of socialism in to the communist society is
more attractive to us than the development through capitalist welfare states
system based on unequal distribution of wealth. We have discussed
elsewhere that new socialism or democratic socialism stands more
extensive, deep and rooted to grass roots.
The basic trait of democracy is the right to self determination of individuals,
people and working classes. The liberation from bondage makes the passing

over to freedom a great moving force on the right to self determination of

nations. Likewise, to establish the right of self determination of individuals
and societies is the main aspect of democracy. The producing class and the
people at large will regulate and control all production units, societies,
organizations, nations, states rather the entire world. By contrast, in the
present capitalist and erstwhile feudal systems, the right to conduct and
regulate goes to only the exploiting ruling class.
Notwithstanding, the minority status they dominate over the big society and
the majority people. It is they who regulate everything, and the majority
people including the working class practically dance to the tune of the
bourgeois in the bourgeoisie democracy. In the society based on individual
property rights, the right to self determination remains with the propertied
class. As such, neither the capitalist state nor the welfare bourgeoisie state is
acceptable to us. We desire that society and state system which assume the
shape of new socialism or democratic socialism and will establish liberty and
right to self determination of the people. The desired society will go a long
way to create new state, new world and new man with the liberation of
mankind from the clutches of violence, terror, brute force and cruelty.
The writer calls upon all political workers and leaders of all categories and
people to meet at the communist platform throwing away all doubts,
despondency, leaving aside violence and holding aloft the banner of
democracy , peace and socialism.
We have discussed in this treatise the following topics:
Where from we have come? Where do we stand? Where do we want to go?
How do we want to go? Why do we want to go there?
We venture to formulate the issues in the following paragraphs:1. On analyzing the ethnology and history of India, it is found that India
consisting of many nations and tribal communities contain some
characteristics of different races and tribals of the world. Despite the
existence of separation and conflict the thread of the unity and
composite culture prevails in India. This spirit of unity in diversity can
lead the world to reach the destination of socialism and communism
through the struggle fro peace and democracy.
2. The great idea of non-violence issuing from the Indian history is
considered as the main force to establish the social justice, religious

movements, and freedom movement and in changing the political

background.
Various agitation programs based on the principle of non-violence, e.g.,
fasting, non-cooperation, Satyagraha, civil disobedience and even
strikes will have to be used as instruments and strategy to the
application of class struggle. In such forms of agitations, communists
are to avoid use of terror, armed struggle, barricade fight and old
tactics like guerilla warfare. The new technique should exhibit the
evidence that the working class and communists are fighting with their
blood to achieve freedom, peace, democracy and equality.
Before the advent of socialist revolution, the dominance of the working
class over the entire toiling mass should be present. A number of
agitations and steps needed to be taken so that the working class may
identify their friends and foes. The working class can transform nonantagonist classes in the interest of revolution.
Before the big changes in the socialist economy, state and social
sphere, a bold democratic movement needs to be launched to place
the working class gradually in the driving seat. In other words, before
reaching the socialist stage some socialist, economic and cultural
processes require to be infused in the womb of capitalist system.
In the transition period it will be necessary to carry on non-violent class
struggle to implement joint ventures towards socialist goal. The
participation of the working class and the toiling mass in the
management and decision making should be an important aspect of
the movement. Movements should be carried on in the participation of
workers and peasants in the cooperation sector and capitalist
agricultural farms. Workers councils in industrial units, information
technological hubs and multinational corporations. These councils----factory councils, corporate councils, public sector councils and so on
will, in course of time, assume directing agencies through movements.
The process of democratization at all levels of the society should be
continued and a large political platform or communist forum should be
formed to establish the dominance of the working class. Different
political parties, groups with their varied approaches should have
representation in the communist forum which should aim at reinforcing
the cause of democracy, socialism and communism. The forum will
continue the movements relating to the popular issues pertaining to
large political, economic and social aspects.
The main basis of socialism and communism is large scale democracy.
As such, in the past socialist period too, political pluralism, personal

liberty, freedom of expression, freedom of press and multi party

system should be introduced.
9. In the socialist system also, a socialist and communist party or their
alliance should be eligible to form government with the peoples
mandate through the general election and to replace the social system
of individual ownership by a system based on social ownership of
property. The dictatorship of the working class instead of the
dictatorship of the party reflected through the peoples verdict in the
election process and the formation of the government. The dictatorship
of the working class with its commitment to social ownership of
property and the constitution needs to be established. It may require
for this purpose a vigilance of all communist parties and groups and
the judiciary. These devices will legitimize government steps and resist
reactionary forces and activities.
10.
The right to self determination and large democracy of the
working class and the toiling mass will be established through
socialism. In this way, a new socialism or democratic socialism will
down in course of time.
Now we have to say something about the judicial and vigilance system, as
mentioned above. Any state-system must have a judicial system. In this
system, the judgment is conducted according to constitution and its clauses
and sub clauses. This constitution of a given state-system is adapted by a
country by the opinion of the people through their representative. In all
countries that govern the state system, have to take any step and new
policies should be according to the constitutional rights given to them. In a
democratic set up, the judicial system has very important role. For this, in a
democratic set up, the conductors of the state system have to face the trial
and judgment by judiciaries. Moreover, this judicial system has also a
limitation. As it is confined by constitutional frame and its clauses, it cannot
go beyond the constitution and not able to adopt new policy and any law. As
a result, for the upliftment of social system, judiciaries have limited roles. In
this aspect, the parliament or law making body plays the major role. Because
the policy and law making power have given to them as they are
representing the people of a country. So, upliftment of the social system
usually occurs according to newer and better state policy taken by peoples
representatives. But the development and upliftment of a social and state
system do not go always in a simplified and definite path. In the course of
the social development, various types of inequalities, problems and
contradictions will continue to evolve. We are proposing the concept of neosocialism, even in that system solution of all types of contradictions and

problems are not possible. Because in new socialist system, the inequality
among the classes and the contradictions are not abolished. This class
contradiction takes different shapes and class struggle will continue till
communist society or classless society will be established. In a prerevolutionary socialist society, the remnants of older society and state are
continued their presence. In the super structure, mostly the cultural sector of
the post-revolutionary system. The existence of older social remnants are
flaws in the super structure of newer state-system, in cultural fields, in
behavioral pattern of the people and their values in personality cult and
inequality in religious, racial, sexual and ethnic field. So, after establishment
of new social system with newer economic base (from a private ownership
oriented economic state system to a social ownership oriented state system
that is from capitalism to socialism) is not obvious that with this change of
social base the super structural remnants will change spontaneously. Rather
these are active in the newer society. The relation of base and super
structures is always dialectical in a given state system and they are
influencing each other. Even it can able to change the others. That means
the super structural remnants may change and reverse the base also. The
counter-revolution may take place if we cannot study properly the dialectical
relation of base and super structure of post-revolutionary social system. So,
revolutionaries must take the lesson from the experience of previous century
(20th century). Taking the lesson from Russian revolution, the great leader of
Chinese revolution, Mao-Tse-Tung, had adapted the policy and program of
Cultural Revolution for abating the super structural inequalities and
contradictions. These thoughts are influencing us for need of new long term
revolutionary movement in a post-revolutionary society. Though the
programs of Cultural Revolution were not successful at its end. After the
death of great leader of China Mao-Ze-Dong and rise of Deng-Xiao-Ping
established himself and his followers in the leadership of Communist party of
China and captured the state-power of this vast country. The Communist
party led by Deng-Xiao-Ping slowly adopted the policy of capitalist path by
reforming socialist and commune based economy towards neo-liberal path
by defining a new terminology in the field of economy as market socialism.
By giving this nomenclature the resurrection of capitalism in China became
apparent under the leadership of revisionist leader of Communist Party. An
undeclared counter-revolution follows in China till date. The result of this
counter-revolution program of massive privatization of state sector and
abolish of commune based agricultural economy have taken place. At the
same time the corporate capital of multi-national imperialist economy gets
free access in Chinese production units and in market. As a result of all this

China is now a country of maximum class inequality next to Nepal in Asia

with growing labor dispute causing loss of social equilibrium in this country.
The human development parameters like health, education, etc have fallen
rapidly. This undeclared counter-revolution in China with the concept of
market socialism by adopting the neo-liberal economy of imperialist camp
has a tremendous influence in other socialist countries of Asia like Vietnam,
Kampuchea, etc. Even in our country the legal leftist parties led by CPI (M)
adopted this policy in provincial governmental activity which resulted the
blood-shed of Nandigram for implementation and agricultural based area to
SEZ (Special Economic Zone). This policy of formation of SEZ by communist
led provincial government shows us the naked character of revisionist Leftist
policies being has a roader of neo-liberal capitalist economy. People of West
Bengal rejected the self-contradictory role of communist parties and leftists.
That reflected in subsequent electoral process and being the negligible force
at 16th parliamentary election occurred in May 2014. So, we may conclude
here that the struggle of proletarian class for establishing socialism may be
depicted as the revolution and counter-revolution of 20th century. But within
these major depressions in the progressive politics the struggle of Latin
American countries including Cuba have been showing new hope and some
light to march forward to build new socialist society in the aim of
communism. Though they have many limitations and debate. We can make a
new type of revolutionary struggle by rethinking of the historical and political
lesson from the revolution and counter-revolution of 20th century. This newer
revolutionary struggle should be long term and may be a continuous
revolutionary process or may renamed as continuous revolutionary theory for
achieving the goal of classless communist society.
In a post-revolutionary socialist
society and state-system will not able to abolish all type of class inequality
and class-contradiction with numerous problems. These various problems
and inequalities cannot be explained by the theory of class contradiction
only. Moreover many new problems will arise in the course of development of
society and state-system. As we have already discussed about the character
of the contradictions elsewhere in this book and, i.e. according to Mao-ZeDong there are two types of contradictions ---- one is antagonistic and others
are non-antagonistic in a given state and society. With the change of the
social, economic, and state-system this character of contradiction may also
change. With the abolishment of antagonistic contradiction in a postrevolutionary society, the other non-antagonistic contradiction may be
changed into antagonistic character. So, society will march forward by

solving these antagonistic and non-antagonistic contradictions towards

classless communist society. This may be over simplified if we think that this
goal of communist society will be achieved by the amendment of
constitution of a state-system by the policy adopted by law makers. So, there
must be involvement of active conscious peoples participation for changing
the social order to higher form. Even, in the communist society there must
be various diversity in human beings. So, many new problems and
contradictions shall grow from the various diversity. These diversities,
problems and contradictions will not be closed by the abolishment of
economic class-contradiction. In that society there will be need of conscious
and active effort of majority of the people to solve these problems. This
solution of numerous problems arising in the course of development of the
society should be a revolutionary process which is a conscious effort in spite
of evolutionary or passive process. This revolutionary process is not only
limited for changing economic and state-system, but also to solve all types of
contradictions and problems arising in course of development by continuous
revolutionary process. So, the continuous revolutionary process will march
along with the development of the human civilization. We are stating above
the vigilance and judiciary system of any state-system that should be a
constitutional body which must exist till the state exist. Apart from these
constitutional bodies there should be a revolutionary vigilance committee or
platform should exist who shall not take part in the state-power. These
revolutionaries shall continue their activities within the people. Various
problems, contradictions which will evolve with the development of the
society that may be ethnic, racial, religious, cultural, sexual, and other super
structural problems should be a sharp attention of the revolutionaries. A
continuous struggle in a revolutionary outlook will be continuing to solve all
these evolving problems by the revolutionaries by uniting them with the
people and not taking part in the power. These revolutionary organizations
will act as a complementary to the constitutional bodies and may cross the
limit of these bodies for the development of the society in higher form,
continuously.
