Reservations of jamal naqvi on Ideology and politics of left

By Wajahat Masood

Finally a debate has been started why left fails in Pakistan? Was it a inbuilt weakness? Are Marxists ready to revisit Marx? is it blasphemous to critically talk about fundamental Marxist questions? Why left is still hesitant to talk on these issues. Jamal may be wrong, the book may contain factual errors but situation of left is not as appreciable as it was 90 years back. it is hard to defend Russian, Chinese and East European socialist experiences in 21st century. 20th century Socialism is history now yet we fail to present socialism for 21st century. jamal neither support capitalism nor advocate fundamentalism yet he raises many questions. Wajahat, an old comrade in arms tries to deconstruct jamal through his book. In series it is another article which reminds us that we should reconsider our common past. Jamal is succesful in initiating a debate through his book. Read what Wajahat wrote in today's jang newspaper.
