The Bourgeois Commie

  • Has put on 15 kg, gels his hair, sports a Stalinesque moustache and loves his blazers

  • Wears a Rado (worth Rs 2 lakh), is driven in a Pajero, loves designer shades

  • Drinks two pegs of Scotch whisky every evening. Cannot resist fried chicken.

  • Appointed his son to the party's regional bureau. His daughter too holds a key post.

Who is this man? He is Prachanda, chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M). Self-abnegation is not sustainable after all. Now, he is not an aberration; he is just human. At least, he does it in the open unlike like his other comrades across the border. I am not into politics or ideology but I never quite understood how these commies manage to fool millions of people for so long!

Suman, the moniker for CPI(M), happens to be CPI (Money) in case you didnt know :)

Most of these ideologies work with either ignorant masses or lazy masses, or a combination. If we are still a 3rd world country, now you know why..!

Notice the "ism" is prevalent among groups who belong to the above club.. They are also helped by large labour unions.. Hope u understand politics better after reading this :)

The third group of pagal public is "fillum star" crazy fans.. hence politicians using film wallahs. I think that this group also is easily swayed.
