WHY CHINA TURNED INTO CAPITALISM AND COMMUNISM FLOPPED IN THE WORLD
Based on house hold survey the poverty rate in China reached to 63% of the population in 1981. This was declined to 10% in 2004. This indicates that about 500 million people have climbed out of poverty during this period. Ownership by the state and centrally planned economy had earlier brought them to this utmost poverty status. Privatisation began to accelerate after 1992 and the private grew as percentage of the GDP. In fact it was not a sudden turn around but a post Mao transition from 1976. Now China has reached at the No 2 position in GDP after US. GDP per capita income is expected to reach USD 12,081 by the end of 2023. At present China is known to be ranking 71 in the list of world countries in GDP per capita income.
We must remember the vast tide of oppression, tyranny and mass murder that communist regimes unleashed upon the world. Historians and others have accounted numerous atrocities by Communists around the world. American historian Timothy D Snyder stated that Stalin deliberately killed about 6 million, which rise to 9 million if foreseeable death arising from policies are taken into account. Lenin's revolution, the resulting civil war and famines, and the brutal domestic repression which he led against the dissidents and scapegoats directly led to the deaths of over 8 million citizens of the Russian Empire, many by starvation, torture or summary executions. While the above are the deaths created by Communism in Russia, we may find below sprisontill larger numbers of deaths during the regime of Mao in China. Mao's policies were responsible for vast of deaths, with estimates ranging from 40 million to 80 million victims due to starvation, persecution, labour and mass executions and his government was described as totalitarian. What we have seen here is the concise account of two countries. If we go through the detailed account of all the 42 countries where Communism had put their colour, the story may be totally different. May be because of the after effects of all these none of the 13 living descendants (grand children) of Karl Marx are Communists. And one of them known to be a Christian preacher (details to be confirmed)
This must be the prime reason for the Indians to reject Communism from this 'all are welcome country '. Despite most favorable environment, this party could not enter into more than three states of India in their best efforts for about a century. While West Bengal and Tripura they have lost for ever the state of Kerala is also on the verge of a non returnable position. On the whole Communism is an imaginary or decorated socio-economic concept. Their theories cannot support a single case of success anywhere in the world.
