You are idealising a particular view of "politics' while referring to
Communist party's past and present. The delegitimisation of politics by
legal discourse is indeed an issue. But providing an explanation in terms of
Communists' degeneration won't suffice. In the first instance, can we
legitimise the way in which politics ( for a whole people) is mediated
through one "party" , be it in past or present.
If democracy is the horizon in which we are considering such issues, I find
it extreamly difficult to proceed by acepting the assumptions you
presuppose.
For instance, look at the reportoire of even middle class front
organisations of CPIM . They
invoke the memories of a feudal/ pre-- democratic milieu intentionally evene
if it is a token strike. ("Raktha saakshikal amaranamar... Jeeven
koduthum...")
The very notion of "politics" you are proposing as solution is part of the
problem, I fear
