With appreciation for your response, we (me and millions of others) fully
agree that a revolution is necessary.  But one sure doesn't have to be a
Marxist to see that!  All one needs is two or one eye, two or one ear, and
one heart.  What is revolution but fundamental change?  In fact, the
situation will not/can not change with violence.  That's the same ol' shit.

Excuse, but what *is* the polarization of wealth but "the expropriation of
the
resources of the earth and the resources of humanity as the private
property and exclusive concerns of the few"?
