REFLECTIONS ... 1

To communists must be given the credit of defeating fascism. Soviet Russia almost singlehandedly and at an unimaginable cost of human lives halted the advance of Nazi Germany any further than it had done before it pushed Hitler's army back. This tilted the war in favour of the Allies and saved civilisation from the impending scourge of Nazi racial barbarism before the communists themselves cast all pretensions to civilisation aside and unleashed terror on their own proletariat population worldwide. 

History witnesses strange twists and turns as it traverses its course hopefully towards a more human destination. As of now, though, rampant capitalism is on the rise with all its concomitant evils, its silent blood-sucking of the masses, its evil imperialistic designs both in commerce and in politics with democracy and human rights and civilisational tall talk providing the perfect ruse for the unbridled exploitation of the weak and the dispossessed. The strong tyrannises the weak, capital and power---naked and noxious, rule with a ruthlessness that revolution aspires to overthrow one day but cannot in a world of radically altered reality. The tussle now is of civilisational supremacy with the Islamic forces at war with the West. The battle goes on.
