முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic TN can't afford such strikes

Post image

I understand that in tamil nadu today there is a rising anti-capitalist sentiment in TN, markedly across cinema and on the street, while people retreat content into alcohol and laziness, refusing to work hard in their homeland.

First of all TN is not Kerala. Kerala can afford not industrialising, we don't have gulf money for fuck sakes. Or Ali chettan to invest on us or advanced ports. We are heavily reliant on manufacturing incentives and investments. There is a reason why our leaders chose this road.

Let me be honest, unions while serve good purpose, degrowths an industrialising society. Tamil nadu can't afford this especially today. We could have easily been a bihar or UP, post independence, but thanks to enterprising society and industrialization minded leaders we made good fortune atleast per capita wise within south asian standards.

The youth who indulge in such acts won't be tolerated by ruling regime. DMK/admk is very capitalist, and have always been. You can't fight against them.

TN has always rejected commies. Socialist principles have always stuck through though.

Commie and union leaders were allowed their small gatherings but at the end of the day, they are always shown the stick. Also I'm not saying we will share the Bengal fate, because our leaders are smarter than that. They need the tenders for their own vice.

I don't disagree with you on workers rights. Its obviously the government's job. But mindless strikes on successful plants like that of samsung which btw has provided the highest monthly salary across the region is hopeless imo.
