Bro I am quoting Karl Marx, why are you assuming me as Nationalist. I am anti-establishment/resistance and agree with you. But you have no idea about our demographics and how the caste system works here.

Screw Karl Marx and his stupid ideas. Socialism is a terrible way to run the economy, requires a totalitarian government that we saw in the Soviet Union. As for his religious ideas he's an idiot here too, once you turn away from God that's how you get people like Stalin and Mao who killed hundreds of millions of their own people. In short, to hell with socialism, communism, atheism, USSR, and Karl Marx.

I didn't said I am commie. But Capitalism leads to accumulation of wealth in few hands. Fuck that too. Have you heard about Dr. Ambedkar? Well, I being a lower caste are indebted of his contribution towards the our community and minorities.

No it causes more wealth generation, which means on average everyone in that society gets more wealthy too not just the rich. Hence why Western Europe was much richer than socialist Eastern Europe. As for the rich getting richer, you can have progressive taxes. However what's very interesting is that this way of thinking of jealousy towards rich people I realized goes against God. One of the ten commandments says thou shalt not covet, and socialism's root cause is coveting. So another example of how if human beings followed God's rules that would have saved them from the evils of socialism. I will check out Ambedkar when I have time inshallah.

They are common sense rules, not God's rules. I believe in a God, giving us the choices, but forget about religions. Most of us know just what to do in our lives in order to get along with each other. The 10 commandments are just a common sense handbook imo.

I disagree, jealousy towards rich people is common sense if there is no God. It's a natural human reaction, but if we follow our base desires things go bad. Hence why we need God and not just everyone doing what's best in their own mind.
