What a wonderful article. The truth.

As Ngugi said in," Devil on the Cross."

"As a worker, I know very well that the forces of law and order are on the side of those who rob the workers of the products of their sweat, of those who steal food and land from the peasants. The peace and order and the stability they defend with armoured cars is the peace and the order and stability of the rich,who feast on bread and wine snatched from the mouths of the poor-yes, they protect the eaters from the wrath of the thirsty and the hungry. Have you ever seen employers being attacked by the armed forces for refusing to increase the salaries of their workers. What about when the workers go on strike? And they have the audacity to talk about violence! Who plants the seeds of violence in the country?

Have you ever seen the police being sent to silence the rich?

A book everybody should read.
