Wolves practicing magic remedies survive on grasslands of foolishness

The wolves and vultures practicing magic remedies, the practitioners of tricks and untested and uncontested medicines and treatments, the quacks, the sorcerers, occultists and fake preachers earn their success on the universal truth that majority of all the sick and ill would heal by themselves with little effort and time and most of those in despair and melancholy would also come out of it by themselves helped by time. That is how these rogues continue to steal credit for themselves and for the fake knowledge they claim to practice. 

And those few who remain unhealed physically or mentally despite visiting these thugs either blame themselves or are too minuscule in numbers to be of any significance to bring disrepute or suspicion over acts of these quacks, and fake healers. Their glory thus continues because the world is mostly full of fools.

Being left is not being communist

Socialism and leftist ideology must not be considered same as communism as we saw sometimes in Russia and China of last century, which might have been ill implemented ground application of a noble thought. 

Most evilly indoctrinated people (idiots) confuse ‘socialism’ with ‘communism’ or deliberately try to mislead available equally biased idiots among commoners. Every democratic govt anywhere in the world strives to be 'social' welfare state. This is what a state primarily exists for, though some confuse that objective of existence of state with military prowess and controls over people. These also could be some of the means to achieve a welfare state though a wrong way.

Free healthcare, free education, free commuting, free power or free internet are target aims of every govt for their citizens, be it Germany, US, Norway, France, England, Emirates, Vietnam or Korea or any African nation or even India. It is the quality of delivery which would measure the efficiency of such a task not the profit it generates for state.

Despite many alleged aberrations it is for the leftist ideology, Marx, Lenin and Mao that humanity is spared of atrocities of royals, rich feudal lords and oligarchs and fascists and present day neo-fascists who for three thousand years since rise of bullies who became kings, landlords and rulers and their vassals had been rampantly trampling over commoners, poor, women and underprivileged. The emergence of left ideology in late 19th century led to founding of true democracies based on principles of equality and justice for all in most parts of the world and continues to do so as those principles never die. Left ideology would remain till democracy is there, forcing even more aspired and glamourised capitalism to become humane.

With Trump world order may disorder

Listened to live x space last 13 August, Monday of Trump with Musk on twitter space assuming US elections have global impact and everyone should know how the leadership there would help shape the world order. It was pessimistic outcome in the end. The conversation between the two was eyeopener and rather scary as to how people so important and powerful could be megalomaniacal, and egotistically unconcerned about universal values of discipline, and peace which has made world a much liveable place during past few decades of modern era. It may not remain so for long. 
The strikingly concerning clips out of this conversation which may define the world order after November was open and wholehearted praise for Korean leader  Kim who was mentioned as a strong leader, calling him a  even Boss ! while at the same time using some harsh taunting words for European leadership and display of awe for Putin  !!   Lately there have been sort of finality to the national boundaries even though surface tension at borders is prevalent between few nations. These status quos may not be respected any more in future.  World could be in for darker times if these views are acceptable for deciding whom people vote for. US too may brace for the impact. 

Why it’s ok to politically pamper communities

Pampering is part of expectations arising out  of REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY that is what we are. If Mayavati and Kashiram can champion cause of dalits and Yogi wants to represents only Sanatani Hindus or Owasi projects himself as Muslim representative so can DMK’s Karunanidhi and Stalin call for voters they think would look to them as leaders. Representative democracy is best as it gives chance to all communities to vent their expectations through elections and democracy.

Our institutions like courts are there to check excessive political leaning at cost of hurting other citizens or not treating all equally once elected.

If communities are not heard or politically silenced to get their representation at governance we have situations like punjab and naxalites or Assam and northeast.

Divergent communities when forming one single nation need to be accommodating to each other to stay existing as one.

We need left of center rule for achieving progress for every single individual. Presently ninety eight percent possess just one percent of all wealth. All talk of trillion dollars economy or third largest one is hogwash because 25-30 large business owners own ninety percent of all wealth. If they comprise some nation ‘India’ as group, yes their country is fast growing and progressing but for most of fellow countrymen it is a laggard state offering few jobs and sundry opportunities.

All that we observe in India, the social disharmony or the political partisanship or the religious frenzy or our collective refusal to adopt social reforms etc, are byproducts of poverty. Once you address poverty muslims and dalits too would become expectedly well mannered and upwardly like one thinks brahmins or other upper castes are. Arabs of soudi and UAE were tribal nomads few decades back. Now with wealth they are some of most well mannered and socially hygienic race. It’s all affordability of good life which every one wants to enjoy. Govt should work for that for every single individual.
