Task of Left Party

Both the Right & Left Wing ideologies are product of the "need" of certain classes, that of the ruling and the ruled class.
Right wing ideology is needed by the rulers, their henchmen, by those who do not work but live off on other's work. To live more comfortably, they need more profit, through appropriation of "Surplus Value", created by the workers in a capitalist society.
While Left wing ideology is the need of the hard working population, which is in super majority, to fight back against increasing exploitation, falling wages, falling living conditions.
These opposing ideologies have different manifestations. In philosophy, Right advocates old, illogical, unscientific "idealism", that is, it upholds idea as primary and matter secondary, supports creation of the universe. Naturally, Left is opposed to it.
In economy, Right is opposed to the scientific discovery of surplus value by Karl Marx, that is, the labourer creates all conceivable wealth. It without proof, advances the theory that capitalists create wealth, out of production realm, recent example is that of finance or fictitious capital, where in capital grows without involvement of workers.
And in politics, Right wants present state & its machineries to continue in its present form. In short bourgeois democracy pretends that all citizens are equal. However, during crisis, this pretentious mask is thrown away, of which examples are innumerous, like fascism, where the so called democratic rights evaporate!
We the Leftists are, ironically, divided. First reason is experience of Right wing adherents, US & allies, have learnt enough experience to counter the unity & struggle of the working class and have penetrated in most of so called "Left" parties (Especially after the restoration of capitalism in ex USSR). Second, opportunism among the leaders in Left parties. Third is confusion among the leaders, cadre of Left parties and their failures to see the danger and commitment for sacrifices. Lastly, we have traitors among us in form of Trotskyites, Titoites, Social Democrats, Anarchists, etc.
Yes, there are perceptible rise of the true revolutionaries in the factories, mines, fields and on social media. Study, struggle and study, build Communist Party, strengthen it, train the working class, peasants, unite and struggle are simultaneous process and is happening all over the world.
Ideology, Marxism Leninism, is a potent weapon for the working class to defeat its enemy, to abolish class division in society, to change the genes of capital (a dead entity, which grows on the flesh, blood & sweat of the living workers and becomes their masters)into social wealth.
This ideology can not penetrate into the working class, unite them and prepare them for struggle AUTOMATICALLY, just because they are exploited and need revolution! For this we need a party, a revolutionary party, a party based on democratic centralism, armed with Marxism Leninism. Party is an instrument of revolution, which fights with the workers in their need, against their enemy, prepares them for the revolution and on the opportune moment, leads them to state power, replaces bourgeois democracy (call it dictatorship) with proletarian democracy (again call it dictatorship).
This is the general understanding of Left ideology, which may work differently as per the prevailing time, region, crisis, etc. Like in India, the Communists have to understand caste system, ally with the lower caste workers to resist social discrimination, oppression against them. At present, we are fighting against fascism in India, and the petty bourgeois class is more keen than ever to be part of resistance movement against fascism. Its our task to ensure that they join us in joint front, breaking caste barrier.
However, allying various sections of the society, does not alter the leading role of the working class, its party, its ideology, its aim! And that is the beauty of this science, the Marxism Leninism.
Lastly and more importantly, the working women must be part of our party, struggle to ensure our victory!
Long live revolution! Workers of the world unite!
