A. P. Shukla on India:
For us Leftists the 11th Thesis (ref: Theses on Feuerbach by Karl Marx 1845) is a precious legacy, and an essential part of our survival kit; the choice of my title is an expression of this emphasis. With this in mind, I’ll first present a brief history of 40 years of punctuated evolution of Left activism in IIT, Kanpur, a 50 year old elite educational institute, established with US collaboration, and cultural dominance and control. Based on this, I’ll express my views on the problems of Left activism in the form of a few questions, to initiate a participatory discussion. With the wide civilizational divide between India and US, I hope this to be an interesting exchange which I’ll share with friends on my return to India.

Communism is dead. A workers revolution is excepting slavery run by another fascist group power hungry leaders (Assholes). Grassroots tribalism is where we are headed - Hopi prophecy and the Mayan calendar. I wish people would stop insulting us indigenous folks. When Martin Lither King was talking about going to the promise land, Christopher Columbus landed on it as they were 80 million living on the North American continent and we did not have Jails, Wars or Money. We are the Civilized Ones.
