Most BNP activists disagree what Moudud said about Mujib and Zia. The reality is that Mujib and Zia both had tremendous contribution for Bangladesh's liberation. Zia fought liberation war and he declared Bangladesh's liberation from Shadhin Bangla Betar Kendra's Kalurghat station. We all heard his voice. On who's behalf he declared this Indpendence is not relevant rather he declared on behalf of all freedom loving Bangladeshis(except some razakars and Pakistani traitors). In other hand Mujib contribution from 25th March until our liberation on 16th December 1971 was unknown to all of us or he could not participate directly for unavoidable reasons. Mujib's last public address before his arrest inspired our liberation war make no doubt about it. Mujib is the Architect of Bangladesh.
History will judge their contribution properly. When Awami League is in power, government focus Mujib's contribution and deny Zia's contribution and When BNP is in power Zia contribution is focused and Mujib's contribution is denied. That's the realy. Both BNP and BAL want to rewrite the history of our liberation war in their way not independently.
Entire nation is divided on this issue. Nation is not united on this issue yet.
Moudud.s comment I will say as slip of tongue ,later he explained his position and apologized. By saying such praise for Mujib the father of current Prime Minister he may have included in the good book of Hasina not to Khaleda for the time being.
Defintely like few other politicians in BNP and BAL Moudud is well known opportunist politician of Bangladesh.

[ALOCHONA] A wake up call for govt



A wake up call for govt

Syed Badrul Ahsan

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina leads an embattled government at this point of time.

You do not need much wisdom to suggest that it is not a very enviable condition. But you do wonder if the prime minister might not be regretting taking some people into her cabinet who have not only turned out to be incompetent but also an embarrassment for her and for the country.

Or you could look at this whole image of chaos in a different way. Has the prime minister been providing the kind of enlightened leadership people expected her to when they so cheerfully returned her party to power in the 2008 general elections? She has never gone for a cabinet reshuffle; she has often stepped in to save ministers who should have ruthlessly been shown the door.

Briefly, she has been presiding over an administration which today faces a mid-term crisis because it is an administration which increasingly looks complacent, which believes it is doing all the good things and which therefore is certain that the rest of the country is wrong in its opinion of it. That's a pity.

The chief engineer of the Roads and Highways Division has resigned. That is good news, proof again that public pressure is a force the vulnerable cannot truly withstand. But why did the minister for communications stay on? Under his watch, roads in the country have been disappearing or degenerating, to a point where you are reminded of all those craters pockmarking the surface of the moon. His own party lawmakers pounce on him in parliament. And yet he smiles all the onslaught off, does not dream of resigning.

The prime minister does not see the damage his presence in government causes the country. Added to this is the dismal defence the shipping minister comes up with over his recommendations for 24,000 licences to new drivers. These drivers do not need literacy, he says, but mere knowledge of traffic signs and signals. And he also suggested that no written tests come in the way of those 24,000 licences.

So, here you have a most bizarre situation. The communications minister will not make our roads vehicle-worthy (because he says he has no funds) and the shipping minister would have 24,000 drivers hit those roads without a required written test. Calculated danger is ready to be unleashed on our roads, thanks to ministerial "'wisdom".

On a different note, the commerce minister now informs the country that his suggestion about eating less was taken out of context by the media. It is an old habit, this attempt at a battering of the media every time a functionary of the state is caught saying or doing the most embarrassing things in public. You ask if the prime minister has pulled him up over his comments or if she has given any thought to replacing him.

And while you do, there is the veteran Tofail Ahmed to remind you of the nosedive the power sector has been taking. People do not even have enough time to have their mobile phones recharged because of the frequency of power cuts. The ministry of power comes forth with all the old, stilted explanations for the malady. Your sense of disbelief lingers.

Elections are difficult to win. And they are easy to lose. With half the term of her government gone, the prime minister should not go on believing that the same people who put her party back in office in 2008 will repeat the exercise the next time round.

In this country, a landslide in the polls has historically and quickly been succeeded by a growing and overwhelming disillusionment over governmental performance or the lack of it, followed by another landslide for another party and yet another period of disillusionment.

It is always the people, those instrumental in creating those huge majorities, who keep losing. They lose in the market, where exorbitant prices and dishonest traders propped up by shady syndicates humiliate them day after day. They lose on the streets, where criminal gangs brandish guns at and fear into them; where callous drivers are happy to mutate into agents of sudden death for the unsuspecting and the innocent. They lose when their taps do not give them water, when the flame on their gas burners grows dim, when the lights go out and swiftly transport them into darkness reminiscent of the medieval, with little way of reaching out to the world beyond their homes.

It is a bleak political landscape we plod through. When ministers place the blame for the miserable condition of roads on past administrations, the bleakness only gets starker. Why must public figures presiding over the present make a scapegoat of the past?

Is the prime minister listening? She will want to win the next election, which presupposes winning back the country before polling day. To win the country, she must lose some badly performing ministers and ministers of state. A leaner, more efficient, vibrant government with competent ministers at the helm is what she and the country needs.

We rest our case.

21 AUGUST

Haunted forever

 

Survivors of grisly Aug 21 attack live on with grenade splinters in their body

21AugustGranadeAttackDailyStar.bmp

Seven years after the grenade attack on an Awami League rally, survivor Abdul Matin, who had been paralysed for some time, wants to meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ask for a job.

Today is the seventh anniversary of the horrific grenade attack on Bangabandhu Avenue which was apparently carried out to assassinate Hasina, then opposition leader. Twenty-four people died in the attack including Ivy Rahman, wife of President Zillur Rahman. The attack also left scores of people injured who now have to live with the scars.

Matin was partially paralysed after the attack in 2004.

One of the many splinters he carries in his body today had entered his head and left the right side of his body inactive.

He lost his salesman job at a shop and has been unemployed ever since due to his physical inability. Now he can walk but with great difficulty.

Hailing from Barguna, the forty-year-old reached Dhaka on Friday. This is the first time Matin is going to attend any programme in Dhaka commemorating the August 21 attack.

He wants an audience with the prime minister. He wants to stand on his own feet again, earn for his food and treatment since he is regaining senses in the right side of his body.

"I can only move slightly but I cannot do much with this movement. I need help of others even if I want to get on a bus," the Awami League activist told The Daily Star yesterday.

"I have no job now…" he said, adding, "I need a job now to survive." He received Tk 25,000 in last two and a half years from the government for treatment but he has to spend Tk 750 a month for pills alone.

On that fateful day, Matin was listening to Hasina at the rally. He heard the sound of a huge blast and within seconds he heard a number of similar bangs. "Suddenly, I understood that something had hit me on the head and then I lost consciousness. I can't remember anything else but then I regained senses at Dhaka Medical College Hospital several hours later," Matin recalled.

Stories of many other survivors of the August 21, 2004, attack are not different from Matin's. Many survivors still suffer from various physical and mental complications. The Daily Star talked to several of them to know how they are passing their days now.

With around 200 splinters inside his body, Mohammad Mukti Mamun, a survivor and Jubo League leader from Bashabo, cannot walk for a few minutes. The excruciating pain stops him.

"I have to take medicine every day, otherwise the splinters inside my body start itching," said Mukti, who was on the southern end of the dais for speakers.

"I could not stand up and I got frightened seeing all the blood coming out of my body," Mukti recalled. He was rushed to DMCH after the attack and later moved to a private hospital.

Kazi Jamir Uddin Siddique Titu has another problem. He cannot sleep well. Nightmares haunt him.

"I often wake up at night having nightmares of the incident...I have been living with around 50 splinters inside my body, mainly in the back and left chest," Titu of Brahmanbaria said.

He cannot even offer his prayers the usual way. He has to pray sitting on a chair since he still feels the pain.

His doctor asked him not to climb more than a few flights of stairs. He is now in Dhaka to join the August 21 commemoration programme.

However, Mukti and Titu are pleased with the supplementary charge sheet submitted in the cases filed in connection with the attack. They want exemplary punishment for the masterminds and others involved.

CHARGE SHEET & TRIAL
The Criminal Investigation Department on July 3 submitted supplementary charge sheets including BNP chief Khaleda Zia's son Tarique Rahman, former state minister Lutfozzaman Babar, Khaleda's political secretary Harris Chowdhury and Jamaat leader Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed and 30 others in the August 21 grenade attack cases.

According to the charge sheet, Hawa Bhaban, former political office of Khaleda Zia which was considered a BNP power house, different militant organisations and a number of people from the administration had collaborated in the planning and execution of the grisly attack.

The Court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate on August 16 this year transferred the supplementary charge sheets of the murder case to the Second Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court of Dhaka for trial.

Two cases were filed in connection with the attack, one for murder and the other was filed under Explosive Substances Act.

PROGRAMMES
The Awami League has plans for two days of programmes to observe the seventh anniversary of the grenade attack.

It will begin with placing of wreaths at the memorial plaque in front of the Awami League central office on Bangabandhu Avenue in honour of the deceased leaders and workers at 11:00am today.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will exchange views with family members of those killed and the survivors at Gono Bhaban at 5:00pm. A discussion will also be held at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital at 3:00pm tomorrow with Awami League chief Hasina as the chief guest.

Awami League General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam urged all to observe the day and attend the discussion programme.

[ALOCHONA] The current state of the foreign ministry

The current state of the foreign ministry

PROFESSIONALISM has no match in formulation and implementation of a
country's foreign policy. The slightest mistake in formulating and
conducting foreign policy can make the country vulnerable to attack by
foreign powers. Therefore, it should be formulated keeping in mind a
country's interests while avoiding any attitude that might be
construed as a hostile or unfriendly act of the government. Foreign
service officers and political entities who head the foreign ministry
should be well-acquainted with the nitty-gritty of the foreign policy.

Recently, the foreign ministry saw an influx of people from other
areas who do not seem to be acquainted with the ins and outs of the
country's foreign policy. Half a dozen ambassadors come from a
different sector, some of them placed in important countries,
including Russia and Britain. Germany, an important donor country and
second highest export destination of Bangladeshi products, remains
without an ambassador for quite some time. I recall the generous
contribution of the German government and NGOs when severe floods
affected Bangladesh in 1998. At that time I was in charge of the
Bangladesh embassy in Bonn as the ambassador was on leave. The
permanent representative to the United Nations is also represented by
a non-diplomat — an American citizen of Bangladesh origin. His recent
meeting with the exiled Tibetan Dalai Lama raised eyebrows in the
political circles in Beijing. If no appropriate explanation is given
to the Chinese authorities, the relations between Bangladesh and China
will grow cold. Bangladesh needs China much more than China needs
Bangladesh. Our country should maintain balanced relationships with
the two Asian giants, China and India, in the interests of the
country.

Sex scandals involving diplomats at the ambassador level has seriously
damaged the image of the foreign ministry. In June this year, the
Bangladesh ambassador to Japan, AKM Mujibur Rahman, was called back to
Dhaka on such a charge. Japan has been playing a very important role
in developing the infrastructure of Bangladesh since pre-liberation
days of the country, apart from turning out to be our largest donor
country. In the recent past, another diplomat, Hasib Aziz, was called
back to the foreign affairs ministry for taking an Uzbek woman as a
second wife without seeking permission from the government. He later
married two others. The latest incident involving someone with a
non-diplomatic background was that of the ambassador to Nepal, Neem
Chandra Bhowmik, which turned out to be a very serious matter. Apart
from the scandal, the former applied physics teacher of Dhaka
University was accused of meddling in the internal affairs of Nepal.
There has been allegation of corruption against him while offering
scholarships to Nepalese students selected by the Bangladesh
government. As reported, he lacks mannerism and diplomatic etiquette
in dealing with foreign government. There has been serious allegation
against the Bangladesh ambassador, as reported in the news media, that
he gave ride to retired Indian general Jacob to different meeting
places in his official car flying the Indian flag. It is an
unbelievably disgraceful affair. No action has yet been taken despite
requests from the Nepalese government for calling him back. Needless
to say that Nepal is a very important country in the region for
Bangladesh. Also, allegation of corruption against the Bangladesh high
commission in Britain needs to be looked into by the foreign ministry.

Both the prime minister and the foreign minister have toured many
parts of the world by now, the achievements to which are not much
visible. After Bangladesh has allowed transit facilities to India from
Akhaura to Tripura, India will succeed in establishing link with its
seven landlocked sister states through Bangladesh territory, apart
from using Bangladesh sea ports. It may be recalled here that
following our independence, the Chittagong Port was under a mine
cleaning operation by Russian naval units, due to which Bangladesh had
placed a request to use the Calcutta Port for transhipment for the
time being. The request was denied by the Indian government at a time
when friendship between the two countries was at its highest peak as
India had assisted our freedom fighters to liberate the country from
Pakistan's subjugation. Speaking recently at Bangladesh strategic
study institute, the visiting Indian foreign minister reportedly said
that Bangladesh would enjoy trade relations with the Indian landlocked
states. The possibility of such scenario is bleak as these areas are
low income. The entire north-eastern part of India is infested with
insurgency. For all practical purposes, the government of India has no
hold on Nagaland. Arunachal Pradesh has become controversial since
China claimed 16 districts of the state. Apart from this, the Indian
authorities are in the process of demarcating the border by
constructing barbed wire fences along Bangladesh borders without
consulting the Bangladesh authorities, which should be considered an
unfriendly act. Killing of Bangladeshi nationals by India's Border
Security Force is increasing without any serious protest from the
Bangladesh side. Without resolving water sharing issues, India is
reportedly ready to construct Tipaimukh dam, in spite of protests from
the local people. Although the government of India verbally assured
that no damage would be done to Bangladesh if it is constructed,
experts are of the opinion that there would be tremendous adverse
effect on Bangladesh, it being the lower riparian country. In a way,
much more harm would be inflicted on Bangladesh than was by the
Farakka barrage. Since China is going ahead with a project to divert
waters from the River Brahmaputra in Tibet to arid Xinxiang region,
apart from building hydroelectric power plant, India is taking
initiative to make a dam to preserve waters from Brahmaputra, causing
damage to Bangladesh. Brahmaputra is an international river and the
interest of lower riparian should be looked into.

The non-recognition of Kosovo by the Bangladesh government may have
irritated the United States which took the initiative to recognise
Kosovo. There are similarities between the birth of Bangladesh and
that of Kosovo from the subjugation of Serbia. It is understood that
the Russian influence has deterred the recognition of Kosovo by
Bangladesh. Possibly, the issue is linked with the construction of the
atomic energy plant by Russia at Rooppur in Pabna. The treaty between
Bangladesh and Russia is likely to be signed when the prime minister
pays a visit to Russia this year. This would be her second visit to
Russia.

The ministry of foreign affairs suffers from a shortage of manpower to
run it effectively. With the departure of the ambassadors to China and
France, there will be a vacuum in the ministry in respect of foreign
language oriented diplomat. The post of additional foreign secretary
remains vacant till writing of this article. The director general is
looking after the territorial desk. No director general, however
efficient, can handle the territorial desk without gaining a clear
perception thorough training abroad. Each territorial desk is
different from the point of view of geography, history and current
affairs from other desks. From the desk officer to the
director-general level, the ministry needs specialisation in the area
to make judgment on significant issues which might affect the national
interest of the country. Research work on important developments
around Bangladesh and international platform is very important in
formulating foreign policy. The ministry lacks a full-fledged research
wing. It may consider introducing a course for non-diplomatic
ambassadors before posting them abroad.

A state can be governed by a person uninitiated in politics, but
foreign ministry could not be run by non-professional diplomats. The
government should pay much more attention to the ministry of foreign
affairs as it stands as the first line of defence for the country.

congratulations.....farida majid,   the would-be finance advisor to PM putul, for ur wonderful comments.

You have not clarified yet, what is " digital Bangladesh"?

Is it a brilliant project to teach I.T. to 5 % Bangladeshis, who are enjoying other community facilities too!!
How many people will benefit from such a bogus master-plan?

What is there in this project....for millions of people in the 'muddy paddy field '  and millions who live

"  under beautiful skies, whether full of rain-clouds or bright blue with cotton flakes of clouds, of these monsoon months of Bengal ".

People have been fooled with sweet talks for years and you must be " the new singer in the block ".

          The subject line "Digital Bangladesh?" is a sarcastic jab at the election campaign promises of the AL who won a landslide victory at the last election and is now the major party of a coalition that has formed the Govt.
 
         Like the rest of the Alochona members I got the joke, and having gotten it I should feel pretty smart and full of a sense of superiority.  Or so is the intention of bd-mailer who never tires of these jabs at the current Govt.  After all, here I am typing on my computer and not at that muddy paddy field where a family is hard at work planting the rice. Our intrepid bd-mailer, one presumes, never leaves his/her computer to glance at the beautiful skies, whether full of rain-clouds or bright blue with cotton flakes of clouds, of these monsoon months of Bengal.  He and his computer are probably nowhere near Bangladesh.
 
         I was actually thoroughly delighted by the photograph of this wonderful scene of Bangalee innovation in the midst of want and dearth.  I said a prayer of goodwill for the boy riding on the 'moi' pulled by his parents wading in the rich mud. How much happier is he than the boy of his age stuck in the city of Dhaka with no playground either in school or in the neighborhood of his apartment complex.
 
        What would have pleased bd mailer and his dumbed down cheerleaders in Alochona? the picture of a 4-yr old in front of a desktop computer playing violent video games? May be thats what the BNP thugs would publicize when they come to POWER with the message that the real 'Digital Bangladesh' is one where you abandon agriculture and devote yourself to money-laundering a la Tarek Zia and Coco using computerized cell phone or other gizmo.

RE: [ALOCHONA] The Controversial Corridor



       Dear Shamim Chowdhury,
 
                      Will you please do a check-up IPS and other details on this "Ayesha Kabir" clone of 'you know who'?  You were great to find out and expose his frantically intense attachment to Pakistan Defense Forum.  It was specially frantic during the tragic incident of the Peelkhana massacre.  Around the same time he devised clones of himself as 'Sunita Paul' 'Delawar Mazumdar' and the fogettable Sohel Taj thanking Robin Khundkar for recommending the book, The India Doctrine, which the said Sohel Taj supposedly read with much pleasure and admiration.
 
                       I recall the emergence of this fake thing named "Ayesha Kabir" during the spat over the Daily Star magazine cover story and the art-picture of a woman being stoned.  There has never been a "Ayesha Kabir" in the world of Dhaka's English language writing journalists or reporters.
 
                        Can we ask ALOCHONA management to take some precautionary measures against this malicious practice of deception on the part of bd-mailer on a consistent basis? We want to know the conditions of Ashuganj from real, honest reporters. Being the captive target of deception is a kind of being subject to mental slavery.
 
                          May Allah subh hanu t'ala deliver us from the misery and humiliation of servitude to mischief.
 
                          Farida Majid

Subject: [ALOCHONA] The Controversial Corridor

 
The Controversial Corridor

By Ayesha Kabir

The face of Ashuanj has changed. This little town of Bangladesh hitherto known only for its fertilizer factory is now bustling with activity. Vessel after vessel is arriving at the port, heavy machinery is being unloaded, massive container trucks are parked at a nearby depot, an expansive container yard is being constructed, and there is much more. Are the people thrilled with all these activities going on? After all, it looks like big time development, and big time development means big time money, a boost to the economy.

No, the truth is that there is anger and indignation simmering over these activities.

The work going on in full swing at Ashuganj is to ensure full implementation of transit facilities for India, for it to transport goods from one part of the country to another, over Bangladesh territory.

When the present government of Bangladesh decided to comply with India's long-standing demand for transit facilities to its northeastern states, it was immediately met by a strong voice of protest, not only from the opposition, but from civil society and the common people too. It was not just the ingrained anti-Indian spirit that egged on this protest, but there were several reasons why this facility was eyed with suspicion.

Though talking about regional or sub-regional connectivity in public, the ruling Awami League government in Bangladesh granted and operationalized a 'transport corridor' with India through the country without any fee. Over the years, the economic dividends of granting transit to India had been highlighted, but the ground reality now shows that the dividends in financial terms are nil. And the haste and secrecy accompanying the entire deal, gives an uncanny feeling that all is not well.

The free transport corridor between Bangladesh and India became effective on March 29 this year. Soon after the signing of the MOU on the transport corridor between Bangladesh and India, 16 diversion roads were built to facilitate heavy-duty trailers carrying equipment for the Palatana Power Station being constructed in the Indian state if Tripura. Two temporary depots have been constructed on leased land to store the machinery and equipment. The district administration has begun acquiring land to construct a yard with capacity for 60 thousand containers.

Whether Customs at Ashuganj river port or Akhaura border post, both in Bangladesh, are equipped with necessary logistic support to scan the huge hardware being received and sent also seem to have been kept confidential.

Promises of a sub-regional connectivity with dreams of earning millions, the passage through Bangladesh has now been reduced to a transport corridor with only one country and that too without any fee. Indians demand that the passage through land route of the country should be provided for free.

"India needs the help of Bangladesh to get the environment-friendly and cheap electricity, and Bangladesh should extend its hand for that," said Dr. Mashiur Rahman, Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh's Shipping Minister Shahjahan Khan speaking in favor of fee waiver said, since the Indians were constructing the road connection Bangladesh needed direly, why should they pay any fee?

Dr. Mashiur Rahman went to the extent of saying, "Had our country been an uncivilised one or our leaders been illiterate then we could have asked for the fees, but that's not the case."
Again, security is vitally interlinked with this transport corridor. The nature of the goods being transported must be scrutinized and monitored on a regular basis and security must also be provided for safe transportation of the goods. Bangladesh lacks facilities for both types of such security measures.

There are health risks involved too. If hundreds of vehicles travel from India through Bangladesh every day, health problems are bound to crop up. Top on the list is HIV/AIDS. India, according to official reports, had six million identified AIDS-affected persons. This outnumbers AIDS patients anywhere else in the world. The main cause of concern is that the three regions of India with the highest prevalence of AIDS, Mizoram, Manipur and Nagaland, are near the Bangladesh border. To make matters worse, it is the truck drivers in India who are mostly AIDS virus carriers and they are the ones who will be entering Bangladesh.

Another inevitable fallout of transit is smuggling and illegal drug trade. Bangladesh is facing the menace of the addictive drug Phensidyl being smuggled over the border into the country. Phensidyl has become such a serious business for the Indians now that all along their side of the Bangladesh border so far 132 Phensidyl factories have been identified. Though the Border Guard of Bangladesh (BGB) has approached the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) with these facts and figures, no measures have been taken to resolve the matter.

When there are so many unresolved bilateral issues, why is only transit being brought to the table? It would only be expected that Bangladesh will receive equal trade benefits in exchange for granting India transit. This would include expanded entry of Bangladeshi goods in the Indian market as well as facilities to transport goods from Bangladesh over Indian territory to Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, etc. But that is not to be so.

There are several other unresolved issues Bangladesh has with India – determining the maritime boundary, demarcation of land borders, killing of innocent Bangladeshis by the BSF along the border, water sharing, Farakka Barrage and Tipaimukh Dam - all these remain unresolved.

India is Bangladesh's biggest trading partner. India's business in Bangladesh is four billion dollars, while Bangladesh exports only 3.6 million dollars worth of commodities to India. Basically Bangladeshi goods can't enter the Indian market due to non-tariff barriers. Negotiations have been on in this connection over the last eight years, but things haven't moved an inch in Bangladesh's favor.

Towards the end of the nineties, the Ganges water sharing treaty was signed in a similar hurried and secretive manner. But a decade on, Bangladesh is yet to receive its fair share of water. All of the bilateral agreements signed between Bangladesh and India in the past have met the same fate. So, on a regional level the big question is, why is Bangladesh sitting with India alone to discuss the issue of transit instead of dealing with this issue multilaterally with other countries of the region? There are many similar questions for which no answers are being given.

[mukto-mona] Re: An article for your review

Here are my two cents for this debate: Socialism will work only in heaven where there are no earthly needs exist. "There", people are busy with their own idiosyncratic passions and nobody checks their productivity. Socialism has totally failed us and it has no future in our current or future society. Some Indian diehards still might be dreaming about those Lenin/Stalin's days without having to experience the practicalities of slavery under the unelected state apparatchiks. These morons should go to Cuba and ask Cubans about their experience about socialism!

No, Prof Roy:
 
Lenin, despite being the best among those who tried to implement Marxism, deviated from basics of Marxism. Take one example. Lenin realised in the twilight of his life that Bolshevik Party failed to establish leadership of the working class. Kindly read, if you haven't - http://frontierweekly.com/pdf-files/vol-43-12-15/lenin-43-12-15.pdf
Also Simon Clarke's paper -Populism and the Origins of Russian Marxism
 
Warmly,

It's a very well-written piece and should be widely circulated.
However, I disagree with the point that socialism has failed. Socialism which Marx enunciated is very different from what was tried out. Among the rarely-erudite scholars on Marx and Marxism who stated ingenuously that the drift began with Lenin is Prof Paresh Chattopadhyay of the University of Quebec.
