Barring few exceptions, for 800+ members house representing India’s flourishing bonded democracy involving grapevine of few families and imperialists, each seat is fought by five seriously rich candidates on average with an investment of 50 crore per candidate. Total approx investment is 125000 crores. Same way, 4000+ seats for state members are always on jugaad auction with an average investment of 10 crore per stock, worth 200000 crores money printing. Grand investment: 325000 crores worth industry (Audited BS 2.0).

Minister’s Prime ROI: Every gang member have its own capital empire, state’s excise and tax profit jugaad just for private wealth of its sponsors are both zero-sum and zero nationalism!

Investments in local / civic elections and other higher government postings and promotions also require more billions, no wonder real social leaders are far way from these electrolytic wealth theatrics. Where does this money goes? Anyone’s guess! Bribing voters / opinion makers, hiring intellectual gangs bias, purchase of freebies, buying arms for goons, abusing state resources for private gains, nurturing tech-cell smarties, greasing fellow workers, funding corporate media, mobilizing like-minded parties, gathering crowd, selling hype, advertising and tactical PR, organizing unwanted events, luring partner celebrities, horse-trading with allies, etc.. this is apart from disguised bribery (TVs, Laptops, Jobs, Smart Gadgets, Food Grains, Subsidies, Religious Lollipop, Rights to Loot, etc..) they distribute from public accounts or say government funds of which they are self-appointed custodians cum sucking parasites.

When you accept a free biryani, desi jugaad, pawwa or paneer halwa ladoo with a 500/- or 3000/- direct transfer bribe during election seasons remember you’re part of the gangs raping democracies, and helping the real anti-national leaders killing or throwing out many good alternative social change forces. Looking at dark sides of our civilization’s history (atleast 2000+ years) of internal infighting over empires, wealth and greatness, results can be even more epidemically darker for our future generations! Where does all these electrolytic bonds, money & power comes from? Not from great celebrities and famous election cronies of our times?

A struggling common man will surely wonder about the need for such huge showcase of wealth / investments and what are the modes these popular contractors of democracy deploy for wealth creation (ROI) once on the chairs. Looting money out of pet schemes, ambani crony contracts, public asset sellouts, pumped budgets, inflation taxes, outlay for gurus, distributing nationalist certificates, feku branding, capital packages and many such avenues are the best known recovery practices. Is this indirect democracy-cess or self-feeding mechanism for the corrupt?

A perfect way of inflation targeting is strong & stable govt? But Bank of England governor says about their inflation that we’ve got to blame the Russians and greedy businessmen, and that sort of thing. Inflation has increased and the central bankers strangely don’t accept that it’s their fault. And they might have a case, too, at least up to a point. I think I’m probably in sympathy with what you were saying. I think, setting aside COVID or the wars in Ukraine and mid-east, in normal circumstances, at least, there has been an excess of caution, based on fear of rising inflation, on the basis that it will quickly get its way into expectations, and once it does that, it’ll be very hard to control it again.

But in telling them the inflation target is everything, that that’s what you ought to worry about — well, that’s actually an instruction not to worry about asset bubbles or currency bubbles or financial crisis. And of course, if you instruct the central bank not to worry about these other things, you’ll increase the danger that things will go wrong (though just affecting workers and commoners minus polity-jerks).

Is it not naive to expect politicians and local leaders to talk to the people and explain issues being like just one of them? They are accountable for explanations by occupying the positions they do, but the wistful tone that asks for explanations sounds naively expectant to us. With AI driven social media adding fuel on hype games, now see all party जुमलेबाजी every hour to please, bribe, lure voters in 365 days election fever each year for a 1 minute digital button press or easy smart swipe, taking clues from success of exported investment bankers, our own converted science & tech mates!

Bombarding a few poor struggling and underground opposing activists with full might of state defense are just one of the ways to deviate and ignore the real culprits – the corrupt assholes who are responsible for worse situations, which pushes many proud communities to adopt extreme practices and sacrifices for survival of humanity and morality, mostly these humane groups are not the vote-bank who may also be scaring the profiteering media away – no gain out of bitter minority wisdom, why pain? Do not eradicate poverty or pandemic or inequality or heal the climate, bombarding the corrupt class & co which occupies most prime estate jungles is real dharma, who gets hyper active as any election or tech-abuse opportunity approaches. All other bad things and its side-affects will surely get auto-fixed.

For/of/by the Election Victory Machines: Even as Indian democracy & economy are becoming somewhat vibrant, important issues in most elections is whether we had substituted the crony socialism of the past with crony capitalism, where the famous celebs and the influential lobbyists have received land, natural resources, kickbacks, indirect state endorsements, tender / contracts in return for payoffs to venal politicians. By killing smaller parties, transparency and competition, crony capitalism is harmful to free enterprise, equal opportunity, and balanced economic growth. Substituting special interests for public interest is harmful to democratic or nationalistic expressions. As there is much truth in crony capitalism, a natural question is why people tolerate it. Why do they vote for the venal politician or party or its bhakts who perpetuates it?

A widely held hypothesis is that India suffers from want of good people baring few upstanding cheerleaders in most areas (0.00001%) like outstanding #TATAs as a rare exception among desi capitalists, so welcome opportunist media / neta parties and its wrongful capitalization? But even assuming it is true, every so often we see the emergence of a group, usually upper middle class professionals, who want to clean up politics. But when these good people stand for election, they either fail or compromise eventually. Does the electorate really not want squeaky clean government? Tolerance for the venal politician is because he is the robin-hood (दबंग) crutch that helps the poor and underprivileged navigate a system that gives them so little access. This may be why he survives..

While the poor do not have the money to purchase public services that are their right, they have a vote that the politician wants. The politician and its hired gangs of headless Karyakarta (just like MLM finance scheme agents) does a little bit to make life a little more tolerable for his poor constituents – a government contract here, an FIR registered there, a land right or AADHAR card somewhere else. For this, he gets the gratitude of his voters, and more important, their vote.

Democracies benefit only when Progressive Socially Left ideas (like of giving books) are much more mainstream vs corporatism power center enjoying taxes from book publishers, US / Europe are not black and white democracies, they’ve learned many lessons including the World Wars in very hard ways. We are privileged to quickly learn mixing our strong vedic nector. Never endorse a messy third-world trying to mock American way of pure capitalist lifestyles, where motivated bhakts tag our indigenous social or left ideologies as some anti-national for selfie development commissions from big investors. Manipulate its paid network of chanakya’s wolves to hallucinate the sucked ignorant masses for a few days during every voting season.

Our conscience must start demanding a quick shift to Democratic Welfare states preferably lead by real middle-class reformists, not some so-called Islamic or Hindu Bhaktoist, Elite Liberal, Communist, Capitalist or Jingoist Mob! Else, as has history taught our ancestors, we the digitized commoners will soon be engulfed by fierce dynasties with grand tiananmen red squared penta gone / vesta empires showcasing greed, democratic imperialism, enslaving armed forces to bow before their central command AI bunkers built on taxes / trusts of millions of native citizens, smartly fooled / looted.
