Kerala, a state in Southern India, has a strong communist party that despite having to share state power with liberals in a capitalist government implemented a decentralised planned economy.

Local assemblies in villages or city districts make proposals of what to spend the planning budget on, from building schools, hospitals, roads to energy projects. Then through delegates these local proposals go to larger administrative levels and get adapted/combine into larger projects. Then these projects get approved or disapproved by a higher level of government. This happens once a year and has produced multiple 5 year plans throughout its existence.

Could this be used as a blueprint for a a real communist revolution? The problem with giving ownership of MoP to worker cooperatives is the fracturing of society's interests down to the firm (see mutualism), while organisational structures centred on the workplace tend to prioritise production over other important societal issues (see syndicalism). This encourages the maintenance of the commodity form and competition.

To reach true revolutionary ends workers ownership needs to be eventually transferred to social ownership. A planning commission organised based on the commune/society needs to have political grip over workplaces and industries. This to me seems like a viable model towards this that has been tried and tested.

They just lost their election in Kerela and I doubt the INC will continue whatever planning CPI Marxist was doing

From what I understand Kerala tends to go in cycles from communist to liberal government, so this is just another turn in the liberal electoral cycle. The planning commission has also been thoroughly integrated into the government so you can't just get rid of it any more

I think Kerala is similar to Sweden in the 70s in that it shows the upper limit of what you can achieve through electoralism. Communist parties that strictly adhere to legalism and have no revolutionary program are for all intents and purposes old school social democrats anyways. It's pretty impressive what they've achieved, especially in a poor country like India. But leaving aside any theoretical gripes about how they've failed to abolish capitalism, the main practical issue is that such efforts are always one bad election away from being dismantled.

Maybe not the time for socialist experiments when they are under siege by military.

Laws are retarded and should be replaced with all-encompassing principles.
The principles should be enshrined in an unchangeable constitution.
These principles are true because they are absolute objectives.

Also we need a dictator caesar with an ideological superstructure like the ayatollahs, but these are random chuds from the plebs.

Would be funny if a demigod had to answer to a committee of random joes and ask them if he can borrow the military.

I hate electoralism and seek its destruction.

>>2861360
Kerela isn’t the Maoist corridor, CPI Marxist and CPI Maoist hate and kill each other

>>2861380
It's more like the CPI MX are Mensheviks while CPI MO are the Bolsheviks

I wish armed rebellion was legal.
You don't get to impose your shitty laws on me. I have no choice but to obey them.
>Accept terms and conditions
No, but I still want your product.
I hate legalism
I hate the Serpent Race

>>2861389
And CPI Maoist are losing the war and have been losing since Operation Green Hunt, they’re in an infinitely worse position now than they were 20 years ago when CPI Maoist first formed

>>2861311
Of course electoralism is inherently limiting and will not bring the necessary social change. What I wonder is how we use and apply this experiment when an actual revolution were to break out
