THREAD | Atrocities of Indian Revisionism: CPM
Very often, we witness uninformed idolization of the party known as CPI (Marxist). This thread serves the purpose of collecting several sources on their distortions of marxism, chauvinism and gruesome atrocities against the masses.
Marichjhapi, when the revisionists actively ordered the furious massacre of hundreds of Dalit refugees whose bodies were thrown into rivers:

The award-winning documentary 'India Untouched: Stories of a People Apart' also shortly deals with the way CPI/CPM organizations..
are dominated by the oppressor castes, with their sole claim for hegemony on village-level resulting in attacks of goons on dalit opposition in the context of elections.

These are only some of the countless cases in which the CPM leadership demonstrated that it firmly stands on the side of the comprador bourgeoisie, feudal landlords and foreign imperialists, not the masses. At it's whole, it shows that this party - claiming to be marxist -..
has consistently played a reactionary role antagonistic to any genuine revolutionaries, tailed behind reaction and defended their interests with an iron fist if necessary. The historical experience internationally, as well as specifically in India, has clearly shown that..
the only sufficient path for revolutionary change is through armed struggle, striking back against centuries of oppression and exploitation inflicted by brahmanic-casteism, feudal patriarchy and imperialism and building a new world, freeing oneself from the burdens of the old.
