[Reader-list] Greetings for May Day

[Partha Dasgupta]

Hi,

The unfortunate part is that the 'leaders' of the revolution by the very
nature of their function become the new 'bourgeoisie'.

It's like the pigs in Orwell's Animal Farm (and I would like to clarify that
I am NOT calling anyone names or making any subtle digs by this reference -
that just happens to be the animal that Orwell chose). They became the new
leaders and slowly started adopting the actions of the humans.

That's the crazy part of leadership. There's only so much time you have in a
day. If you prefer someone you know (even if s/he is capable of getting the
work done) for a job then it's favouritism. So you depend on the word of an
aide, who may not be as well qualified to take the decision.

On top of that, the 'system' of politics has it's own corruptions and
'adjustments' that take precedence over everything.

Rgds, Partha
