As if the stench of a rotten corpse can be hidden by sprinkling talcum powder over it. Even in Pakistan there are at the most 10 individuals whose wealth would be enough to eliminate poverty ignorance and disease. But not one of these names will be on the lists of defaulters up for accountability. Because the rulings of the state and the capitalist system are devised to protect the interests of these individuals. People like Bill Gates and George Soros are precisely the ones who define the laws of the present system, responsible for drenching more than a third of humanity below the poverty line.
Finance capital is the almighty power on earth today.
Even the angels would burn their wings in front of the crushing domination and heat of this power of capitalism. Yet the names of these people are mentioned in official documents and media headlines with respect, envy, sycophancy and adoration. There is such a stinking glorification of their generosity that it becomes nauseating to watch or read these news items. Their acts of charity are portrayed with such flagrant obtuseness that it becomes insult upon injury. The reality is that charity is a curse upon human mankind.
