Equality is not prosperity ....

When i was 27 years old and a firm believer in capitalism i have opined that communists can never become intellectually honest to accept the fact that their ideology is a lost cause and has been summarily drubbed in every corner of the world . My opinion about communists has been reaffirmed by Tarun Tejpal the other day when i read his interview in Firstpost .

Karl Marx has proposed a whole new theory to analyse the nature of capital and proposed solutions to wipe out human suffering . His followers called it Marxism . He advocated armed insurgency and suggested his followers replace any form of government with Proletariat dictatorship . He suggested that government leave nothing for private ownership and government own all forms of capital and treat all forms of labour , intellectual or physical as the same and hence forth they receive the same salary . This form of marxism was first implemented in Russia by communist party of Russia headed by Vladmir Lenin . Vladmir lenin and his successor Joesph Stalin killed millions of people who owned property and refused to surrender that to state . They created an equal society except that the society was equal and equally poor . Communism has achieved unprecedented proportions barbarism under Chairman Mao in China when the Communist party of China killed millions of their own people in the name of cultural revolution . This is the prime feature of communist regimes all across the world , they killed millions of their own people to create equality and failed miserably to do so .

All across the socialist media , there is an obsession for equality . They beat their chests about the increasing rich-poor gap . U.S has the highest rich-poor gap but if the living standards of the people is looked at it is probably the highest in the world . I would rather be poor in an unequal and prosperous society like U.S where the living standards are far higher than a socialistc society where everybody is equal and poor . Socialists believe in curatiling free-enterprise they want controls on everything that could probably increase the rich-poor gap . If the so called levers of economy should be taken away from the enterpreneurs and businessman they have to be taken over by the government , which has already been done in the name of Marxism and the results are there for all of us to see . The answer to poverty alleviation in this country is more of market driven economics .
