A constructive revolution
Our country is nothing but marginal, defensive about its corrupt political system. Corruption has always been and continues to be our number one social malady. Does our country need a revolution (!) to break the existing political system? I think so. The dynamics to start a revolution already exists in our country. What we need is a real revolutionary process aiming to overturn the existing political and economic order. The future for poor Bengalis at present is very dark but it can be changed.
According to Marx, the class, which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. This society consists of readers like us. We can contribute further by spreading the word about what our country needs. Over the last few years the big corporations have been, and are, swarming to our country. Consequentially, as the popular saying goes, the rich will only get richer and the poor poorer.
The two major political parties should not underestimate the power of the people. Bangladesh is the 8th most populous country in the world and the most corrupt as well. The revolutionary theories indicate that we are in the perfect situation for a change.
