I have said that all the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? I also said that the tsar of Russia, the emperor of China and Japanese imperialism were all paper tigers. As we know, they were all overthrown. U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atom bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.

Are there communist parties in India?

of course there are! the oldest one is the communist party of india founded in 1925. then in 1964 along with the sino-soviet split came ideological differences and what is now known as the communist party of india (marxist) split from cpi. then in 1969, a radical faction within the cpi(m) split from the party, forming the communist party of india (marxist leninist) on lenin's birthday. this came after the 1967 naxalbari revolt led by tribal peasants and said radical faction of cpi(m). this revolt eventually spread and led to the ongoing naxalite insurgency. unfortunately, after the death of charu majumdar, the leader of cpi (ml), it splintered into multiple naxalite groups, communist part of india (maoist) being one of them

cpi and cpi(m) are unfortunately very moderate parties that engage in electoralism and aren't actually communist in any meaningful way, but that's a story for another day. cpi (maoist) however has no use for parliamentarism and are instead waging a protracted people's war against the indian state, for which they are banned. there are other minor commie parties but who cares about the trotskyists lmao

really enjoy the fact that in the the first issue of the official CPI(ML) journal Liberation, there's an article included by Andre Gunder Frank, but they print his name as "Andrew" Gunder Frank

Joe Did That: Inflation Costs Americans an Extra $1000 Monthly

CATHERINE SALGADO | 5:14 PM ON APRIL 12, 2024

Thanks to the wonders of Bidenomics, the average American is spending over a thousand dollars extra a month. Fortunately, Biden is focused on important things — like funding jihad supporters in Gaza and paying off student loans with taxpayer money the government cannot spare.

Fox Business highlighted the $1,069 cost increase compared to three years ago before Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies drove up inflation higher than Hunter Biden smoking Parmesan cheese. Inflation has allegedly fallen since 2022, but the context for that statement is that inflation is still rising, just at a supposedly slower rate — inflation went up about 18% under Biden. You still have to shell out more money for the basic costs of living than you did two or three years ago, which is why Americans are increasingly burdened with credit card debt.

As of February, two-thirds of full-time American workers said that their income had not kept pace with inflation. Real wages have been steadily dropping since Biden took office.

From Fox Business:

The typical U.S. household needed to pay $227 more a month in March to purchase the same goods and services it did one year ago because of still-high inflation, according to calculations from Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi shared with FOX Business. Americans are paying on average $784 more each month compared with the same time two years ago and $1,069 more compared with three years ago, before the inflation crisis began… when compared with January 2021, shortly before the inflation crisis began, prices remain up a stunning 18.94%.

Food, child care, and rent — the necessities — are devastatingly expensive under the Biden administration. Fox quoted Bright MLS chief economist Lisa Sturtevant, “Inflation has not just stalled, but it is moving in the wrong direction.” Unfortunately, low-income Americans — those who can least afford to spend more — are of course hardest hit by rising costs.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures the costs of what is supposed to be a representative “basket of goods,” continues to be well above the rate that the U.S. had before the economically damaging COVID-19 pandemic, Fox explained. The necessities mentioned above (food, rent, child care) are significantly more expensive than they were just a year ago. 

“Housing and gasoline costs were the biggest drivers of inflation last month, accounting for more than half of the total monthly increase,” Fox added. Food and auto insurance costs also went up, with the latter at a sobering 22.2% increase over the same time in 2023. Inflation is causing Americans to use up savings and increasingly rack up credit card debt to meet expenses, a situation that is both risky and unsustainable.

Credit card debt in America reached a new record high by the end of December 2023, Fox Business noted, citing data from the New York Federal Reserve.

Bidenomics has been nothing but a catastrophe for ordinary Americans, costing them ever more money even as their real wages decrease.

In Bihar, Modi Factor and Nitish’s EBC, Mahadalit Base Propel NDA Over INDIA

In the recent Bihar elections, the NDA maintained its dominance by winning 30 out of 40 seats, while the opposition alliance, INDIA, secured 9 seats — an improvement from the single seat they won in 2019.

NDA’s Performance

Despite losing five seats compared to its 2019 performance, the BJP won 12 out of the 17 seats it contested. The JD(U), led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, secured 12 seats, four fewer than in 2019. The NDA’s success has been attributed to the Narendra Modi factor and the support from Nitish’s constituency of Extreme Backward Classes (EBCs) and Mahadalits.

Key Allies and Victories

Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) won all five seats it contested, continuing its strong performance from 2019. Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) candidate and former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi won the Gaya seat, reinforcing NDA’s strength.

However, Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) chief Upendra Kushwaha lost in Karakat, largely due to the presence of BJP rebel Pawan Singh.

INDIA’s Struggles and Gains

The RJD, part of the INDIA bloc, won 4 out of 23 seats, marking its return to the Lok Sabha after a gap of five years. Lalu Prasad’s daughter, Misa Bharti, won the Pataliputra seat, a first for the party since its creation in 2008.

Notable Wins and Losses

RJD’s Breakthroughs: The RJD broke through in the BJP stronghold of Buxar with Sudhakar Singh defeating BJP’s Mithilesh Tiwari.

Congress’s Improved Performance: The Congress increased its seat count from one in 2019 to three, winning in Katihar and Sasaram.

CPI (ML)L’s Emergence: The CPI (ML)L’s Sudama Prasad and Raja Ram Singh became giant-killers in Arrah and Karakat, respectively.

Setbacks and Surprises

Independent Victory: Rajesh Ranjan, an independent candidate, won the Purnia seat, defeating the JD(U) incumbent.

Key Losses: The JD(U) lost seats in Kishanganj, Katihar, and Jehanabad.

Conclusion

The NDA’s success in Bihar was driven by a combination of Modi’s influence and Nitish Kumar’s loyal base among EBCs and Mahadalits. Meanwhile, the opposition bloc, INDIA, managed significant gains but fell short of toppling the NDA’s dominance. The emergence of CPI (ML)L as a formidable force and the improved performance of Congress highlight the evolving political landscape in Bihar.
