Hypertree would like to put it out there that it is a big fan of Jaswant Singh. Yes, he is a member of the fascist communalist BJP but then Hypertree is not beyond forgiveness. It does not judge a book by its fascist communalist cover so to speak. I mean, we’re talking of a man who, overwhelmed with compassion, not only released but personally escorted three terrorists to Kandahar in return for the release of the passengers of a hijacked Air India plane, thus courageously giving in to the demands of the terrorists.

Hypertree’s sources reveal that along with the terrorists he’d also brought cases of ParleG cookies to the starving Kandahar hijackers, who’d no doubt have been suffering under the appalling Air India food. Which munching on their ParleG cookies, they reminisced on geopolitical issues of exploitative imperialists, on how they haven’t read about Karl Marx, but if they had they’d no doubt have liked him, and so on, till it was time to bid goodbye, and amidst tearful farewells, promised to write to each other and remain pen pals, and continue to exchange anti-Indian terrorists and ParleG cookies. Hypertree thinks such compassion can only come from a man who though a fascist communalist on the outside, is very much an egalitarian communist on the inside.

How can such a courageously angelic person possibly become more angelic you ask? Jaswant Singh, in a feat that should earn him a direct seat in the Politburo should he choose to take leave from the fascist communalist party of his, revealed that there was a mole in the PMO in 1991 and that he has all the details in his upcoming book. A fascist nationalist might have made use of this information while he was a foreign minister in the late 90’s, or take it through proper channels, but it takes a man of courage to responsibly reveal it to the press, and that too a decade later, right before the release of his book. It shows that he puts key humanist elements over parochial nationalism, not the least of which is to make people more literate by reading his book.

Hypertree believes his noble mission to courageously trivialize all aspects of our national security is not incongruous from that of our esteemed Politburo, and can only urge Jaswant to take the next step and join our CPIM so that all us compassionate Indians could give him his due respect.

Hypertree is a strong proponent of compassion and forgiveness. An i for an eye, Hypertree believes, would lead to exploitative inequalities in the vowel market, and if Hypertree does not care about u, who would?

That said, Hypertree is not exactly saddenned to see the latest bout of calisthenics by the Indian and Pakistani diplomatic services. It all started with Pakistan expelling an Indian diplomat (a mere exception to the rule of course which is that it all starts with hegemonist communalists). India in turn retaliated by expelling a Pakistani diplomat. Thus continuing a game of ping pong that has been going on for a long time.
Hypertree is not saddenned by this because if there is one thing that Hypertree does not like that starts with ‘d’ and ends with ‘omat’, it is a diplomat. And the reason for that, my alertly compassionate readers would be interested to know, is that they are but frontliners of exploitative imperialists. Hypertree could not fail to observe that these were all predominantly men in suits and boots, who sip martinis and talk in funny accents all day. And if there is one egregious instance of such a funny accent talking martini sipping person in a bunch of movies, it is Bond. James Bond.

Hypertree has daily nightmares about that movie series; where the hegemonist James Bond would go around killing egalitarian communist spies who were engaged in righteous information liberation. All the while imposing his hegemony upon buxom bikini clad women, trapping them in an abusive and physical relationship that would set back their self-actualization by many years. It was no coincidence that many of James Bond’s covers were diplomats.

So when Hypertree looks at the tit-for-tat expulsions of the diplomats, it can’t help but feel glad that somehow all those communist spies and buxom women on the verge of self-actualization done wrong by James Bond are being avenged.

There was once a time when Hypertree felt that the only clear thinkers in India were members of the CPI-M politburo. But then it came to know of some other stellar emotively logical thinkers like this and this, and it had to admit that the hegemonistic world outside the CPI-M politburo was not all madness.

It is thus gladdened to see yet another clear thinker emerge out of the depressive swamp that is the hegemonistic English newspaper columnists (other than our comrades in The Hindu of course).

Shekhar Gupta in this interesting article avers that casteist and classist struggles as well as righteous Islamic self-defence against the hegemonist upper class upper caste Gujarati Hindus, are the underlying causes of the recent bomb blasts in Mumbai. Hypertree is always in solidarity with the oppressed and those facing injustice, and cannot fail to grasp the progressive message of Gupta: that it is the upper class upper caste Gujarati Hindus who were behind the blasts and who bombed themselves so as to cast aspersions on Islamic extremists and Pakistan.

Also, in the article he observes that the most “stunning” aspect of the Indian response was the lack of riots. As Hypertree keeps telling its readers, we Indians are barbarians and lie in wait for the next bomb blast so that we can start killing each other and if we do not do this it is very stunning. Hypertree was so stunned, it had to apply Vico turmeric anti stunning cream to its forehead.

Actually Hypertree is not just stunned, it is also glad. For if the lack of riots was the most stunning thing to Gupta, what was not the most stunning were the moral and progressive actions of this government of bravely not acting at all in response to the attacks. It shows that the Gandhian tradition of cutting off ones balls is still running strong as to not be stunning, inspite of the best efforts of the hegemonist communalists.

Hypertree prefers to focus on the pressing issues facing the exploited and the oppressed, such as banning the blogs of the hegemonist upper class bourgeois, but if there is one failing we compassionates have, it is empathy.

So, with the recent bomb blasts in Mumbai, Hypertree was beside itself in empathy with Pakistan. With every graphic image from Mumbai of the people injured or dead, Hypertree couldn’t help thinking of the innocent Pakistani child who would be exposed to such images; and about the extent of fascism in India’s communal parties who lay the blame on such innocent children of our fraternal nation across the border. (I refer of course to Pakistan, and not China, which is our paternal nation.)

The bomb blast had seared not just through the train cars, it had also seared through the hearts of us compassionates. It had seared our hearts because we knew the communal parties would point fingers at our Pakistani brethren and not at themselves for their exploitative hegemonistic lifestyles.
Hypertree feels there is only one way to stop this madness. And that is to ban not just the blogs but also the parties of the hegemonist communalists. Only then can we prevent the depressing catastrophe of unjust aspersions being cast on anybody other than the upper class Hindu-communalist majority.

Hypertree feels that the only thing that should be free is a copy of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. So that those of us on the side of the exploited and the oppressed can beat on the head of the hegemonists with it. Hypertree is thus amused at the furore about a lack of free-speech in the Indian Blogosphere at a recent banning of blogs by the Indian Government.

If Hypertree’s readers need any more reason to back this ban than to watch the hegemonists sputter about rights to speak freely about anything other than the glorious justice of communism; it is that there is little doubt that it is our CPIM leaders who are behind this noble crusade.
Hypertree of course has its sources, but an astute blog ban observologist has but to take one look at some of the banned blogs, like Expose the Left and Hindu Human Rights and be left with no doubt as to the righteous hands behind such a noble crusade.

Hypertree is cognizant of the tender sensitivities of its compassionate readers, so to provide the readers with a sanitized sample, it decided to brave doubtlessly hazardous exposure to fascism by going to the ExposeTheLeft website.
Now Hypertree is no stranger to depravity, but even its wordly wise ways had not prepared it for posts titled “Industrial production up 0.8% in June” and “Court reinstates Nebraska’s same-sex marriage ban”.

Dazed, Hypertree looked at the list of the banned sites again, to find something less hazardous to Hypertree’s weak stomach; only to find a ghastly titled princesskimberley.blogspot.com.
Hypertree could not bring itself to visit this website, but just from its name, thoroughly supports its ban, and perhaps even a fine on its author.

As for the Hindu Human Rights website which is fighting for the human rights of the oppressive and fascist Hindus, no doubt upper caste ones at that, Hypertree is glad that our idols of compassion, our CPIM leaders, are showing these idolators their place.

The noble crusade was extended by the progressive ISPs to encompass the entire hegemonist set of blogspot and typepad blogs. There is a reason why Hypertree is hosted on WordPress and it is that it was told that WordPress practices sustainable electron farming, and is hosted on fair-trade servers. Which must also be why the progressive ISPs and our CPIM leaders have not banned WordPress.

Hypertree is beside itself with rejoicement, for there could be little doubt that under the able stewardship of our enlightened CPIM and Congress leaders, India’s utopia is getting nearer and nearer.

The Desi Blogosphere, a medium of hegemonistic libertarian propaganda, has been roiling with debate on the reservations proposed by the honorable HRD minister, Arjun Singh. ArS wants to extend caste-based reservations in higher educational institutions like IITs and IIMs to 50%. (HyperTree'd touched upon these imperialist inegalitarian higher education institutions in this earlier post.)

HyperTree feels those opposing ArS's splendidly egalitarian proposal are not thinking with due emotional clarity. You see, for centuries, people in India have been discriminated on the basis of caste. Not just people, but the state and society itself has discriminated against people on the basis of caste. Naturally, we should ask what can state and society do now to redress these past injustices. The answer is simple: discriminate on the basis of caste; not just state but society itself should discriminatively allocate jobs and education seats on the basis on birth and caste. Only this can destroy the discrimination of society and state on the basis of caste.

Another argument for ArS's proposal, splendidly put forward by Dilip, an eminently socialist and emotively-logical thinker, is that those opposing these reservations only point out the injustice to those who'd be cut out of the pie. But do they talk about those who'd unjustly get a piece of the pie? This shows that libertarian hegemonists have lost grasp of even basic mathematics: if we steal candy from a poor brahmin and give it to a rich OBC, that's not just an unjust loss to the poor Brahmin, it is also an unjust gain to the rich OBC. So how can they say it is all a loss? HyperTree wishes more people were such clear thinkers like Dilip.

Another argument that the hegemonists give is that they want a system similar to the US, where instead of an egalitarian quota system, there is an insufficient affirmative action system. Instead of a rightfully blind entry on the basis of birth like in India, inegalitarian thought is given to make sure there is diversity as well as a certain minimum standard of ability.

HyperTree feels that even considering the notion that lopsided differences in ability along caste lines enforced by a quota system would lead to disharmony and a disservice to those been "quotaed in" is submitting oneself to the hegemonists' trap of looking at mere amply available empirical evidence as opposed to looking in one's heart and mind.

The final argument they give, that we should also take care to not disincentivize merit, is of course laughable. I mean, if we wanted to incentivize merit instead of a righteous egalitarianism, we might as well call ourselves a fully free capitalist society. A hegemonist dream we must not allow to come true, my dear comrades.

Sorry for the hiatus my dear compassionate readers, but I was immersed in the work of the cruel bourgeois exploitative world around us. Us enlightened compassionate folks, have to partake of the comforts and luxuries of the bourgeois capitalist nightmarish world so that we can teach about its evils to those who are still immersed in the blissful arms of hand-to-mouth poverty and sustainable practices of their non-capitalist economies. There is much to talk about, so stay tuned for our regular emotionally logical programming.

Ever notice, my compassionate readers, how the hegemonists keep talking about how it is only capitalism which can keep the economy dynamic. HyperTree feels this opinion reflects a lack of understanding about socialism. You see, in compassionate socialism, we progressively take money from the sinful rich and give them to the virtuous poor. We do this to save the souls of the rich by making them poor, but by giving money to the erstwhile poor, we make them rich. Consequently, we have to repeat the above process and keep shuttling money between different groups of people. If this is not keeping the economy dynamic, then what is?

In this ironically indicting post, Sandeep, a hegemonistic right wingist, compares selfish libertarianism and compassionate socialism.

Libertarianism, for the compassionate innocents amongst my readers, advocates ruthless self-interest as a sole moral virtue, instead of an innocent altruism that gets according to need and contributes according to ability. It relies on machinistic rigid reason instead of a righteously vague human emotion and feeling. It emphasizes vulgar money, most probably obtained by unsustainable practices, instead of a collectively joyous egalitarian poverty. Do read that post for more gruesome descriptions that would make even the robust-hearted amongst us feel faint at the hegemonistic threat posed by this ideology.
Hopefully the exposition of the moral hollowness of libertarianism in that post would lead more of the capitalist minions into the inviting arms of us compassionate socialists.

Sometimes HyperTree feels pity on the rapacious capitalists who get so easily swayed by the hegemonistic right wing propaganda and end up with their uniformly hegemonistic and capitalistic views. The poor sods are reduced to rabble-rousing minions who follow the dictats of their leaders with nary an independent thought, much less with their hearts and feelings. Idol worshippers; they drool over their icons barely able to stop at mere admiration.

I was reminded of this sorry state of affairs in the capitalist camp when I was looking at a recent post at ICW; a website that does the good job of showing the evils of the imperialist Indian corporations which are out to entice honest-to-goodness Indians into the bourgeois dream of exploiting the poor and getting rich by unsustainable practices.
Now can you imagine what the capitalists would have done with an autograph of one of their leader capitalist-economists? They would have creamed their pants that is what. Contrast that with the restrained display of Brinda Karat’s autograph in the many compassionate-socialist blogs – [1][2]. Brinda Karat, for the swinish capitalist-chauvinists amongst my readers, is a prominent member of the CPI(M) politburo and is well-known for her efforts to stop the greedy capitalist-imperialists from hegemonistically increasing the capital of India.

Sometimes I get really angry at the way the right wing propaganda brainwashes the minions of the capitalists; this makes it that much more difficult for our brilliant leaders, like Ms. Karat, to show the capitalist minions the light. Truly, we in the compassionate socialist camp have been really lucky to have such maginficent leaders who use their superior intellect to look at complicated economic issues and lead the less gifted amongst us compassionate socialists telling us the righteous things to do.
