in mid 60's -the crisis of CPI was so deep.ajay gosh wrote an article on -non-capitalist path ,it was a criticism of a russian academic very close to cpi position(dange's position-national bourgeoise).the problem is that how is to develop a non-capitalist alternative development project.Look at those periods of cpi-cpim split- a core question is here-what about the accumulation ?borgeoies-land lord alliance ? how is it possible?bourgeoise has its own accumulation tactics like wise land lord class.where is their unity. now,in the time of empire after globalisation,how is to develop an anti-neo-liberal development project?prabat patnaik says that socialist project will take long years,this is not in the periods of comintern -and development of productive forces ala industrialisation is inevitable-this is what their new governance project under india's federal socio-economic order.
