Gilbakka posted:According to the PPP Constitution, the party is still Marxist-Leninist. The PPP claims to operate on the Leninist principle of democratic centralism, but in practice the "centralism" takes precedence over the democracy. For instance, the PPP Leader/General Secretary is not elected directly by the party's general membership but by its 35-member Central Committee. That was the style practised by the authoritarian Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Will the PPP remove Marxism-Leninism from its Constitution at its upcoming Congress in December?
Whatever one wants to say about the PNC, the indisputable fact is that its Leader David Granger was elected directly at a PNC congress by its general membership and not by its General Council which approximates to a Central Committee.
Regarding Mr Granger's utterances about socialism at his party congress, I will not comment until more details are available. What I can say is that I am a socialist who moved away from the Soviet authoritarian kind to the Social Democratic kind. Hence, I usually vote for the social democratic New Democratic Party [NDP] in Canada.
We are talking PNC socialism, the pretext ideology to excuse the transfer of wealth from the Indians to the PNC constituency!
