"All races not yet moribund are trying to revolt every day" - Lu Xun

Lu Xun (1881-1936)

Some quotes from an article Literature of a Revolutionary Period by Chinese writer Lu Xun in April 1927,

"When a hawk catches a sparrow, the hawk is silent; the sparrow is the one to cry out. When a cat catches a mouse, the cat is silent; the mouse is the one to cry out. And the one that can only cry ends by being eaten by the one that is silent. "

"...nearly all literature expresses dissatisfaction and distress over social conditions, voicing suffering and indignation"… "Those who oppress you will ignore them. The mouse may squeak and even produce fine literature, yet the cat will gobble it up without any consideration. So a nation with only a literature of complaint is hopeless, because it stops short at that"…"the literature of complaints, like proclaiming one's grievances, gives the oppressors a sense of security"..."nations with inner strength which dare rebel when complaints prove useless wake up to the facts and their lamentations change into roars of anger."

"Mankind could only progress, evolve from protozoa to men, from barbarism to civilization, because of ceaseless revolutions. Biologists tell us: "Men are not very different from monkeys. Apes and men are cousins." How is it then that men have become men while monkeys remain monkeys? It is because monkeys will not change their ways — they like to walk on all fours. Quite likely some monkey once stood up and tried to walk on two legs, but many others protested, "Our ancestors have always crawled. You're not to stand up!" Then they bit him to death. They refused not only to stand but also to talk, being conservative. Men, however, are different. They eventually stood up and talked, and so they won out. But the process is still going on. So revolution is nothing strange, and all races not yet moribund are trying to revolt every day, though most of their revolutions are merely small ones." (Literature of a Revolutionary Period - Lu Xun)

Once More Crisis, Once More Rising....

For all who think they are safe from the point of employment and livelihood.

After anti-system movement in Africa (Egypt, Tunisia, Libya [See Here]) now in Europe (In Spain, and Paris, and UK, and Egypt**) and also in Kazakhstan (See Here) many Youth are awaking and trying to put the demands of public in focus against anti-public polities and activities of the ruling capitalist powers.

But, what the youths of India are doing. They sometimes go with Anna Hazare for Lokpal Bill, sometimes go with Baba Ramdev for anti-corruption and Black money issues. And there are many protests of workers are happening (See Report of Labor Day 2011 Demonstration), but still most of the youths have no interest in it, they don't give much attention to the demands of public, they look very busy in their own life or waiting that "some people" will do everything for the whole public.

We should take a look on these two types of movements, and the conditions of these African and European nations compared to India. We see the situations and movements of Africa and Europe and India.

How long to carry!!

In Spain anti-capitalism protest is happening and in the Paris on 29th May people gathered for the support of demonstrations across the country decrying mainstream politics, unemployment and corruption (See full report here). Now we see few points explaining the current condition of Spain and whole Europe, a report by Neil Clark (Full Report at: www.thefirstpost.co.uk Link Here):

"# 81 million young people worldwide were without jobs at the end of 2009 - the highest level of youth unemployment ever. 

# Taking to the streets, in increasing numbers, to protest over the country's high level of youth unemployment - which at 45 per cent is the highest in the EU. 

# Almost 21 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds are unemployed. 

# Youth unemployment is as high as 34 per cent"

What impact it had on the people, in the view of Neil Clark:

"Is it any wonder that people are getting angry?" "It's an anti-capitalism, anti-market ruled society, anti-banks, anti-political corruption, anti-failed democracy, anti-degraded democracy and pro-real democracy protest" He adds, " I won't be surprised to hear the same thoughts expressed on the streets of London and Manchester very soon."

Neil Clark draws a conclusion for the problems that is neo-liberalism or  open exploitation of workers in contract based production. We can see some more. In an article ("Food prices to double by 2030") published in the Guardian on 31 May 2011, papers by Oxfam, says, "One in seven people on the planet go hungry every day despite the fact that the world is capable of feeding everyone. The food system must be overhauled." It is the truth of capitalist era.

At a place the article says that it will lead to "political unrest" and "will require radical reform of the international food system." According to the article ruling powers must give attention to it, and so it is giving the picture of real conditions of the public so that rulers be ready for handling the crises.

This article did not explained why it is happening? Why, in spite of tons of grain are destroyed, one out of seven people daily sleep hungry? It means that 100 crore people out of 700 crore of total world population sleep hungry, not because of unavailability of food, but because of theft by few people. See Here Why??

At this moment many people, worldwide, who were supporting capitalism on the examples of European nations, now where will they get justification for their utopia about capitalism? Whole capitalist media, who all are the puppets of capitalists (all of us know it!!), are silent on all these protests, and trying to hide these demonstrations all around the Europe. Why? Only because these protests are anti-capitalism, it is the demands of hard working public; not of any imperialist of any capitalist.

A March for Life

Now at this movement a very big question arises that if African and now European youths are raising their voice against worst life conditions in capitalism, which are not as worst as in India here (See detail : Here). Then, why Indians, here, are not raising their voice for justice? See some of the facts; we will get surprised, in India,

# 77 percent of the Indian population is living below 20 rupees per day, which is nothing more than unemployment. In this so called "income" (<20 rupees per day), 84 crore people are living with poverty, which lead to malnutrition, and then finally end to starvation of 84 crore poor people. And at other side numbers of billionaires are increasing with fastest pace in the India.

# Over 394.9 million workers (86% of the working population) belong to the unorganized sector and work under “utterly deplorable” conditions with “extremely few livelihood options"

What is the reason that most of the Indian youths are living in such a worst conditions without any shouting for justice, while European start their demonstrations in much better conditions than presently in India like unemployment, poverty, starvation, malnutrition, inequality, corruption etc. etc. etc. (VISIT HERE FOR ALL DETAIL OF CONDITIONS in INDIA)!!!!

Whenever any voice for justice is raised then all anti-public means are tried out by the administration and capitalists to crush it (See recent report on "A Major Victory for the Agitating Workers" and Bhatta Parsaul). Why most of us become so busy in our daily life that we cannot see anything happening all around us; or we just satisfy ourselves by our senseless discussions; or we don't have any faith in self and in public; or we don't want to come out from a very long and anti-progress impact of 250 years of colonial slavery. We need to think about it, need to analyze it, and then also act for it to bring progress for all with a change for all.

[Anti-Capitalism]
Ref: www.thenewsignificance.com

"If organic tissue is capable of life it must react to every stimulus. ... "To pain I respond with tears and outcries (चिल्लाहट), to baseness with indignation (क्रोध), to filth (नीचता) with loathing (घृणा). To my mind, that is just what is called life. The lower the organism, the less sensitive it is, and the more feebly it reacts to stimulus; and the higher it is, the more responsively and vigorously it reacts to reality." - Chekhov

But, today this "life" has forcibly pushed below the burden of earning livelihood, either of a poor person or a rich person, and it is the reason why we don't react to any "stimulus" we get every time, at every place.

This cannot be continued!

This should not be continued!!

This must not be continued!!!

This will not be continued...

This is to be CHANGED.....

What is Happening in The Capitalist World

1. Reason for Revolutionary struggle in African Countries going through huge Public Uprising:

In Tunetia, Egypt, Yaman and Jordan: unemployment and stagnation in the degenerating Epoch of Capitalism and economic neocolonialism Imperialism. 20% of the total work forces are unemployed. 50% of the youths are unemployed. Sharp increase in food prices since 2007.

Egypt suffers from chronic high rate of unemployment, elevated inflation and  poverty. (Ref: Frontline, 25 Feb 2010 in article "Economic Root", P-30-31)

First to oppose the corruption and Mubarak Government of Egypt.

First individual protester who speared her voice through Facebook and other IT media.

2. Around the Whole World:

A total of 17 million more people have been rendered unemployed since 2007, taking the global total of the unemployed to 118.4 million.

2. Something in India:

"[A]ccording to the definition used in the report {Asian Development Bank}, the vast majority of this middle class earns between Rs 1,000 and Rs 2,000 per person per month. Only 0.0009% of Indians earn more than Rs 10,000 per month."..."The vast majority of the Indian middle class 82% of it, or 224 million people - however, fit into the first category." . The report concludes, "Indian middle class earns between Rs 1035 and Rs 2070" ("The Times Of India", Aug 22, 2010 "Most of Indian 'middle class' earns between Rs 1000-2000" by  Rukmini Shrinivasan)

Widespread poverty;  around 25 per cent of the population is below the poverty line as defined by the government of India,  means about 300 million people living on just enough to keep them at subsistence level." (This poverty line is decided on the basic of daily food earning, other things like cloths, housing, etc are never included in it!!) [Tendulkar committee report says that 41.8 per cent of the population (450 million people) survive on a monthly per capita consumption expenditure of Rs 447. It comes to bare Rs 14.50 per day. 

(Ref Indian measure of poverty level is much lesser than World Bank estimate!].

Now come to the Political propaganda of the Bourgeoise Media:

1. An article in Frontline commented on the Political situation in Indian, "If there is any political action, it is in the form of a big rally of people where leaders make impassioned speeches and everyone then goes home." (Frontline, 25 Feb 2011, "Unrest & Democracy" by Bhaskar Ghose Page-85)

2. An article "Divide and misrule", ("Times Of India", 08 February 2011) by Jug Suraiya trying to "suggest" that "India  is very diverse so it can never be united, "The people of India, on the other hand, you and me, are divided along economic, social, religious, linguistic, regional and many other faultlines too numerous to count. These differences have over the years been emphasised and exploited by the political class which has created its own captive vote banks based on caste, creed, language, regional identity, economic status and other real or imagined divisions that separate us from each other. The British taught our political class that the secret of gaining and holding on to power lay in the policy of divide and rule. After Independence, our netas have bettered the instruction of our colonial masters." See Full article Here.

Truth of all these false promotions is something like it:
