Abstract

Faced with the assault of neoliberal globalization and internecine struggle, the Indian communist movement is shown to be facing a series of inherent contradictions and an identity crisis that has dented its influence and stifled its growth. Maoism and mainstream communist trends functioning with different goals and strategies exhibit a common commitment to state-centric politics and a vanguardist party structure that comes at the expense of advancing the Marxian project of nonexploitation, fair distribution, and democracy.
