Essay / India needs socialism - 1177
The Indian economy is an interesting thing on the one hand, we see middle-aged men in imported cars, tall buildings with luxury apartments, five star hotels and clubs full of people spending thousands and fancy luxury offices. we have the impression that money is coming out of the pockets of the rich to make this capitalist utopia the prerogative of a few. We also see slums, factories with horrible working conditions, beggars and ragpickers on the roads living with less than the bare minimum needed to survive. When I was 12, I saw a woman feeding her child out of a trash can and into my hand. was a hamburger from a fancy American fast food restaurant. I still think about that day and I don't feel lucky but guilty. If you wanted me to write this essay on "The Glorious Indian Economy", don't bother reading ahead. The economy is not only a system where the factors of production come together in the process of production, consumption and distribution, but it is a story. This particular story tells us about the lives of people living under this system and what they do to survive. When I look at this country and its economy, I see a great divide between the rich and the poor, the weak and the strong, the lucky and the unlucky, and the oppressors and the oppressed. On one side we see workers, farmers, peasants and landless workers who work hard just to survive and on the other we see rich capitalists who simply manipulate the markets to fill their pockets with money to which they never worked. In this country, the worker is poor and the gambler is rich. The worker has built the railways, built the buildings, worked the mines and yet he remains hungry looking at what he has built. This country has millionaires who are bus...... middle of paper...... the list production method only gives opportunities to the rich and not the talented. The question arises as to how to change these miserable economic conditions faced by the vast majority. In order to end it, we must overturn this social order in favor of a more just and equitable system. We must fairly redistribute society's wealth so that everyone can live a dignified life. To do this and improve the working conditions of workers, it is necessary: 1) Nationalization of all industries 2) Abolition of private property 3) Abolition of all inheritance rights 4) Abolition of cities by equal distribution 5) Abolition of the State in favor of anarchist-syndicalist6) A heavy and progressive income tax7) The creation of immense self-managed industrial armiesSourcesWikiquote
