"No". But YMMV.

I am really at a loss. Does it mean that those telangaaNa families
are not slaving any more; hence, they do not need Marxism any more?
Or does the 'we' above refer really to 'us' in the US?
Or since those languishing folks have an admiration to SrI SrI
and Marxism, and (accepting your NO only for argument's sake),
that they do not need Marxism any more, am I to understand that
admiration to SrI SrI too is not needed? Confused! Yes, I am, due
to no fault of yours.
I think, those slaving masses(if they still exist!), do not
distinguish SrI SrI and Marxism as two separate entities. For them,
IMO, it is one and the same! It is 'us' who have acquired the
ability to read-in-between-the-lines, and try to nit-pick(just exactly
the way I am doing now; but some of my friends in this group are
a million times better than I am), make such a distinction.
Did I say nit-picking? Ooops! I sincerely apologise!
May be the real answer to all my doubts lies in, YMMV. I am
thoroughly and totally lost, now. Whether Marxism is still a viable
economic philosophy that can be seriously pursued, is to be debated,
not here but elsewhere!
