AGARTALA, Feb 16 (TIWN): Marxist economist and political commentator Prabhat Patnaik on Saturday has lectured on the importance of Marxism and Karl Marx’s economic theories, claiming capitalism increases unemployment problems always and exactly that is happening in our state. CPI-M has organized the conference to put a stress on the importance of Communist or Marxist in India’s economic development right now. The programme was conducted at Rabindra Bhawan in the presence of former Chief Minister of Tripura Manik Sarkar and other top CPI-M leaders as Tapan Chakraborty, Gautam Das, Bijan Dhar, Aghore Debbarma. Addressing in the conference, Prabhat Patnaik said, “Capitalism even though an exploratory but nobody can create capitalism system for others. It is a self driven system and you have to overthrow this system from your mind. There is no freedom in capitalism and neither the capitalist himself is free. Capitalism is controlled by capitalists tendency inside a person. Thus if you are serious about freedom, if you are serious about overcoming poverty, if you are overcoming unemployment, then you have to chose Marxism”.He further blamed the technology’s introduction in each sector for increasing unemployment.

 “Marxism will be existing as far as capitalism is there. Marxism is blamed as orthodox, but it is not true. Whenever, people’s freedom was needed Marxism again and again has been relevant”, said Patnaik.
