How the middle class is responsible for perpetuating poverty
I am no fan of communist regimes and their totalitarian ways. In Bengal where soaring unemployment was blamed on the disastrous Left trade unionism, I grew up reading sordid tales of repression and watching forlorn black-and-white pictures of ill-clothed people waiting in long food queues on the streets of the #Communism #Europe #HowThisWorks #India #MIddle Class #Poverty #social reforms
