WB commies are not surviving in Bengal because of the supremacy of their ideology, but because of their experience in harboring pro-bengali sentiments since a long time back. People go and vote for WB commies because its portrayed as a bengali party. Leaders from all other parties in Bengal would be adequately branded foreign and hostile to Bengal, by these marxists. The lower world of criminals and union-leaders is so strong and interlinked, that almost no free political thought can take hold in Bengal. The Bengal of British times, seems to be 'gone with the Raj'.
Ironically enough, these so-called Marxists, exercise all nasty machiaveliian political tactics, expoiting the very malpractices in Indian society, which their intellectuals are found tirading against. In the villages of bengal, the new untouchables are those who don't support CPI. Its the same play goin' on in Bengal, where marxists have just changed the names of the characters, to give this whole game a humanitarian edge, or probably to hybridize marxist socialism and Bengali identity into their own kinda communism.
I would say leftists in India don't have an ideology. They have to save their butt by being a good regional party. Throughout all their history, from the intellectuals to the leaders, they have always said what the indian educated class wants them to say. At times, they have even ridiculously changed stances, like in the time of world war. They remain nothing more than whores of elitism, controlled by big business houses, but still trying to sell their ideas of socialistic justice, reflected nowhere in their own actions. If they represent anything in india, its only the bankrupcy of ideas and hypocrisy.
