Ji, Shiben Koul,

The Post Covid-19 era has given responsibility to each one the younger
generation, scio-political activists ,thinkers ,writers etc that they
should view and review all philosophies, methods,mindsets of people, needs
and GREEDS of the present system and its fallouts.After 2 world wars  a
international body named UNO along with two thoughts of political and
economic development models  gave  unemployment, poverty, global warming,
climate change crises, shortage of safe drinking water  and Coronavirus
Pandemic which remained anti nature , anti human during the journey
wheather it was under Marxian influence or under corporate capitalism and
Coronavirus Pandemic proved totally failed systems which were unable to
arrange medicine,PPE, hospitals, Quarantine centres and during lockdown
thousands workers and migrant labour died due to unavailability of food,
shelters, mobile facilities etc.

Both models developed only missiles,bombs,nuke weaonary etc to create
conflicts and supplying arms for profit maximisation.

The foregoing evidence suggests that explanation of reality and it's
various processes as made by Marxists is neither 'scientific truth' as
claimed by Marxists nor a 'Falsehood 'as advocated by the anti Marxists.So
it is one sided.

However, despite  its one- sided approach about nature and humankind.Marx
had broken new grounds and made certain useful additions to human knowledge
e.g nothing being absolute and eternal in the world every phenomenon being
under constant change;.  Universe and it's various phenomenae being known
able.

To accept the irrelevance of Marxism hi highly shocking when we treat  it
as a universal Truth' and devotedly sacrificing for the Marxist cause.But
there is no other way out except to come to terms with reality which always
demands the rejection of dogmas, judgement of processes on the basis of
evidence and reviewing of all such concepts which begin to conflict with
new facts and experiences. In the process of change and development of
various phenomenae in this universe contradiction is not a only method of
change and development.Economy being an important (but not only) factor in
social development; human resources (, labour)as a component (not
exclusive) of capital; social nature of Mankind; and so on.

 The present system was solely adopted the concept of Confrontation and
Communal/Races/Ethnicities hatred to conquer the nature including humankind
and exploited unlimitedly the natural and human and natural resources to
make maximum profits to accomulate wealth and used each phenomenon
(including humankind) as Commodity in a manner of Use and Throw.

The present realities demanding that Politics of Peace and Coexistence with
behavioral attitude of Tolerance and interdependence among all diverse
identities, Regional communities and nations is the way out of an alternate
political and economic development model with global vision and which can
defeat the Politics of Confrontation and Communal/Races hatred.
