Respected Sir,

i am obliged to u that u are giving open publicity to my mails.. my work is  not that considerable... i  fight for time to debate on such issues but still feel it important to contribute.. because it is important and because i know that applying  Common-sense and seeing ground realities is important before we select ideologies ... and right understanding of these issues is important for  building our collective future...while searching the net about the quotes/ideas of Mao...
i found the  RED BOOK :
excerpts from the same...

 this clearly shows that communism doesnt  allow liberty and real democracy of people... it is a systematically imposed tyranny for sure....


Liberalism is extreme]y harmful in a revolutionary collective. It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion, causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary ranks of compact organization and strict discipline, prevents policies from being carried through and alienates the Party organizations from the masses which the Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency.

Ibid., p. 32.

People who are liberals look upon the principles of Marxism as abstract dogma. They approve of Marxism, but are not prepared to practice it or to practice it in full; they are not prepared to replace their liberalism by Marxism. These people have their Marxism, but they have their liberalism as well - they talk Marxism but practice liberalism; they apply Marxism to others but liberalism to themselves. They keep both kinds of goods in stock and find a use for each. This is how the minds of certain people work.

Ibid., pp. 32-33

The people's state protects the people. Only when the people have such a state can they educate and remold themselves by democratic methods on a country-wide scale, with everyone taking part, and shake off the influence of domestic and foreign reactionaries (which is still very strong, will survive for a long time and cannot be quickly destroyed), rid themselves of the bad habits and ideas acquired in the old society, not allow themselves to be led astray by the reactionaries, and continue to advance - to advance towards a socialist and communist society.

This specifically seems to be the reason for such stronghold of communist party in china/ north Korea... these ideas are absolutely unacceptable to any free minded person...

 we have a saying in our popular rural culture which can explain this dogmatic philosophy of communism like  " Rog (disease) se ilaj (medication) bhayanak"  ..
