Greetings comrades,

I find this incredibly disturbing and sickening. I am not really good at speaking and this video says it all so...

Our Indian comrades need our support.

Thanks comrades.

Become a Brahmin, Become a Kshatriya.

Be a visionary, Be a warrior.

The people need to rise up or that's unfortunately how it will continue.

It's really crazy how illusions via fictional narratives can effect social organization like this.

It's kinda nuts hey.

But if you think about it

The west and europe are on some fictional narratives too, they're just becoming more ideological and less religious, etc. Which almost makes it more absurd that they are more "rational".

I never made such a distinction that's your own reading but that's not the case. I fully recognize the West, this is most certainly true and far stranger. Agreed, but Europe, the West, and so on wasn't what was being discussed so I didn't mention it.

I really wish you'd correct the typo - both in the title and the tags. It's 'caste', not 'cast'.

BB English may not be his first language. But agreed that threw me off too hah.

And Vox sorry about that. It's true I re-read your statement and that was my own reading into it. Had a few beers last night. :P

I'm quite sure that there is no 'perfect' way to speak (or even write) English. But mistaking one word for another ('cast' for 'caste' or 'mute' for 'moot' for instance) makes it really unclear what you're talking about. If you want to communicate with people, you need to be clear.

PM a mod. I'm sure they'll be able to edit the title and change the tags if you can't.

Be as unclear as you want. Just don't expect other people to know what you're talking about.

Marshal of the people, no worries I think a lot of us understand what you where going for.

Look forward to hearing more from you :)

I am from India and the caste system has been around for a very long time. The communists have been extremely divided over this. There have been debates over its relation to class, production relations and its evolution/change over time. Caste is often at the very center of the mode of production debate -which divides the communists into two major sides - those who refer to it as a semi feudal semi colonial country and those who think it is a capitalist country. The former give a call for "democratic" revolution, mostly along the lines of Maoism, while the latter give a call for socialist revolution. The former believe that the productive forces have not developed enough and class structures are still defined largely by caste domination of certain upper castes and pre capitalist formations exist.
