Is Left Irrelevant Now?

I think left parties are relevant.

But they are not sticking to their core ideology.

Their core ideology could be ushering in communism or socialism.

In a democratic setup their ideology could be promoting public sector as an economic agent and supporting working class in defending their rights as well as to create political leadership from working classes.

Are the left parties doing these things successfully? One comes across very rarely in the media any success stories of left parties in the area of public sector.

Even in the area of supporting woring class, the left is inactive nowadays. Have left promoted political leadership in working classes recently. Once again it is difficult to find examples in every day news.

What is left doing? It is into manipulative politics with congress and caste based parties. It will be good for the society if left focuses on its ideology.

Even BJP has the same problem.In stead of politics that promote its ideology it is promoting personality based strategies. The isse is not whether Advani became a prime minister or not? The issue is how far the ideology of the party was promoted? Have they lost an opportunity to promote their ideology? Have they used their last term in the office to promote their ideology?
