Communism in TnT
Hello comrades. Do any of you here resonate with communists or open to the idea of communism in Trinidad? And if yes/no, then why?
I know that Trinidad and Tobago initially was modeled to be a socialist democracy however with the world progressing as it is and our revenue declining as it is, we see that on the spectrum of capitalism and communism Trinidad is doomed to move toward a capitalist regime similar to the US. Do any of you believe that one day we will see the return of socialism in TnT, will there ever be a push towards communism as a whole?
I also feel like these ideologies aren’t spoken about enough in our political landscape. I believe that if our politicians were to take this approach it’d be better for our voting populous so they would have a general idea of what the party stands for economically especially as most voters(in my opinion) don’t read entire manifestos or give much thought to the actual implications of them.
Also, I believe that a lot of Trinbagonians are actually socialist and this is reflected in the “Gimme gimme mindset” a lot of people say we have. Which in my opinion is a call of the people to have their socialist needs met.
Also if anyone is interested in talking about this idea more, message me as I would love to discuss these ideas more!
