Binay Sarkar welcomed the AMM.

 

• Then he began speaking on the subject: HISTORY OF UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE spread over successive historical epochs and ages. Reading and critical elucidation of the circumstances regarding initiation of suffrage during the days of feudal aristocracy in Britain began. He pointed out how in course of time the capitalist class was to be eventually included beside the aristocracy. And ultimately the suffrage got extended to the working class having to deal, on the one hand, with the constant pressure from beneath by the working class and, in course of time, on the other, also in the interest of the capitalist class themselves to exploit the suffrage as an instrument of trickery. He made a threadbare analysis with historical notes on pertinent passages from the recently finalized manuscript intended to be published now.
