1) I have seen a lot of #Leftists in my real life. Some claim to be liberals, rationalists, progressive etc.. But if you scratch the surface, they are also Leftists on many key issues.

Here are my thoughts on their effect on gullible youth.

2) The whole purpose of #Leftists is to grab power by provoking innocent youth. Resist, Occupy, revolution, fight fascism, save democracy, save Constitution etc.. are just for show off.

In reality, 90% of young followers end up as failures by age 35 or 40.

3) Slogans and protests don't feed your family. They don't pay for your mother's kidney or heart ailment bill. They don't send kids to good schools. They don't pay EMIs.

All the "revolutionary" slogans and thoughts are just feel good things like a movie fight scene. But useless

4) All the revolutions of #Leftists have destroyed nations, cultures and killed millions.

Read about Soviet Union, Venezuela, China (before it became economically capitalist), North Korea, Ecuador, Cuba...

Cultures destroyed, millions killed and freedom gone.

5) Always tell youth to focus on productive employment with self respect, and not living off freebies from government.

Because, a life that is led with dignity of earned job or job creation, is very superior to Communist sloganeering and living off governments freebies.

6) Indian culture is all about Shubh Laabh. Artha is a key part of Dharma, Artha, Kama & Moksha purusharthas .

Being independent is very important, unless you have tremendous things to contribute to the society like that of Sanyasis, whom the society itself willingly supports

7) The next time you see a young man or woman trying to become a "Comrade" or something similar with provoking banner or post or slogan, talk to them.

Explain the futility of becoming a 'use and throw' tool in someone else's larger power grabbing agenda. Leftism always fails!
