कम्युनिज्म पर डॉ. राम मनोहर लोहिया के विचार- 5

डा. राम मनोहर लोहिया एक ऐसे समाजवादी महापुरूष थे, जो समाजवाद की भारतीय आत्मा के पोषक थे। वह एक कर्मठ स्वतंत्रता सेनानी, मौलिक चिंतक तथा लेखक थे। वे भारतीय संस्कृति के पोषक एक ऐसे व्यक्ति थे, जो मानव की सहानुभूति तथा अनुभूति से परिपूर्ण थे।

सन् 1952 में पहली बार राम मनोहर लोहिया ने भारतीय संदर्भ में एक 'गैर-कम्युनिस्ट सोशलिज्म' की विस्तृत रूपरेखा प्रस्तुत की थी। उसमें उन्होंने 'कम्युनिज्म' को बर्बर तथा हिंसक विचार बतलाया। उसे एशिया के विरूध्द यूरोप का हथियार बताया तथा देशद्रोह की ओर अग्रसर करनेवाला एवं अनैतिकता से पूर्ण कहा।

भारतीय कम्युनिस्टों के बारे में-
"Were robbed of all self-respect and minimum of pride, which holds the personality together... They had during the open rebellion of 1942, associated with foreign rule in treacherous suppression of their own people, they had intermittently dishonored the national flag and had thought to abuse Mahatma Gandhi."
(Giresh Mishra, B.K.Pandy, 'Ram Manohar Lohia : The Man and his Ism')p.93

सोवियत नेताओं के बारे में-
"(Stalin as) one of the great criminals of world history...the present leaders of Russia have all been accomplices in Stalin's crimes; they are, in fact, little jackals to the lion Stalin. Their denunciation of Stalin when they took part in everyone of his black deeds is patent gibberish."

कम्युनिज्म के बारे में-
"I consider Communism as very evil-as evil as the status quo. But I would like to issue a warning. The American mind is obsessed with the bogey of communism. Whenever any thing happened, the American ruling powers say it is the big communist beast. Beast he may be, but he is not so big as the communism won in china, but there is a long story and you are party responsible for that. But communism is not winning in Burma or in India."
