PPP no longer Marxist-Leninist in theory but definitely in practice

Sep 08, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

I note that a once honourable president preceded by an also once honourable former Speaker assert that the PPP is longer Marxist-Leninist. Given all the free-market capitalist skullduggeries now characteristic of party leaders and party cabals, I am glad they came out with this public confession. But the party may wish to be considered non-Marxist-Leninist in those mind-numbing theories, but definitely not in the practices perfected under Marxism, Leninism, Maoism, and all those other isms that the PPP still embrace.
It is good that these onetime PPP cardinals of Guyana’s Kremlin have confessed, which I think is the latest deception from a long deceptive group. Not being Marxist-Leninist is the equivalent of the pontiff admitting to being an atheist. The next thing the once honourable leaders of country and parliament are going to tell Guyanese is that they have found religion, and with the accompanying impeccable integrity that such demands, when sincerely observed.
Editor, given the seductions of oil, everybody is now an Adam Smith disciple in Guyana. Get me straight: capitalists are the biggest thieves to be encountered anywhere. Remember, I shared space with them in the beating heart and nerve centre of capitalism. Anyone that thinks that Goldman is all blue ribbon and apple pie needs some serious reengineering. And note now a former American leader and his world of trouble for dodges. The PPP is as much non-Marxist-Leninist as Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and the politburos of both Mother Russia and Celestial China. What a set of racketeers! I prefer Mafia godfathers and gang lords from the ghetto, since they are open about how they are, and what they do. Yes, the PPP leadership struggled to hide criminal capitalist tendencies and conduct, but there has been transparency in this area, for which I thank the president, whose denials only made matters worse.
In terms of Marxist-Leninist practices still cherished, there is more and more control of the media for the party’s and leadership lies to be transmitted to cover-up criminal behaviour that robs taxpayers; the taxpayers’ money is used to whip them into shape. Mind control and total control have always been defining features of Marxist-Leninism, which is why there were gulags for dissidents, so-called criminals, and those that leaders declared insane. The irony is that a top-rank Bolshevist psychiatrist like Bogdanov and a onetime Lenin physician Takhtarev (also Bolshevist) assessed him psychotic. That is why they kill so many of their own, just like Chairman Mao. The state police are misused with a Laurentia Beria let loose until he became too much to stomach, and they had to kill him, too.
Editor, look at what was and is in Marxist-Leninist-Maoist societies and it is the media, the police, the bureaucracy, the economy (private is government and vice versa), the technology, and more all brought to bear to coerce subject populations into submission. I submit this is what we have here under this so-called suddenly non-Marxist-Leninist PPP. Just a matter of degree and time.

Sincerely,
GHK Lall
