Those are all just labels. The final analysis is the poor are only poor until they usurp the power and privilege of the rich, and then, they fight like hell to keep their new position.

Give me an honest man, and I'll show you a martyr on the altar of self-interest. You can't cheat an honest man, but you can make him disappear from the history books.

True revolution must first be successful in the hearts of humans before any real change in the program will be achieved.

The three poisons in Buddhism are greed, anger, and stupidity. Until we purify our hearts of these poisons, the dream for some will continue to be a nightmare for the rest.
