end of history

CPI(M) says Tibet is China’s internal matter, so no comments. Well so from now on we should not comment on

  1. Racism, so no judgment on apartheid in South Africa please
  2. Islamophobia, since its worst and everyday manifestations (as with racism) is on citizens and legal residents.
  3. Colonialism as well, since before the colony became a state, it was part of another state, and hence its internal matter.
  4. Torture, inhuman and draconian laws, human rights violations, anywhere. Including Palestine, its Israel’s ‘internal matter’. There is no Palestinian state and cannot be, as it will be against Israel’s sovereignty.

I could go on….and so could you. The point however is, do you want to go down this path?
