If somebody says so, it means Marxism has become irrelevant; Kanam Rajendran rejects M V Govindan Master

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Rejecting the ideological stand of M V Govindan, CPI secretary Kanam Rajendran has lashed out at the senior CPM leader. “Dialectical materialism has never become irrelevant. If somebody says so, then Marxism has become meaningless,” Kanam Rajendran said.

“I don’t know whether Govindan Master has said dialectical materialism has become irrelevant. It is a methodological tool to observe the intricacies of society. It is a common strategy used by communists to evaluate social problems. It is not done as per the nation’s conditions. It is wrong to perceive materialism as faithlessness. Such opinions are made by certain mechanical materialists.” Kanam said.
