Is Pakistan standing on the threshold of a big revolution?
Karl Marx said that it is only a penny that tears any society apart from within.
Let me give you an example, you start loading a camel. For several hours you can continue to load continuously. After some time he will finally lose his courage. Now if you put a small straw on the camel, he will sit down. His power will be gone. It does not mean that the straw was too heavy for the camel to carry. Rather, the camel was unable to carry the load any more, so a straw sat it down. So we can say that since the camel's strength was no longer able to carry the load, it sat down. If someone destroys a society, or starts a revolution there, it is because the purchasing power of the people is gone, they no longer have the courage and strength to bear the inflation.
Therefore, as soon as there is a penny inflation, people come out, protests start, fires are lit and one class is ready to fight with other classes. The red line is where they reach the point of no return. This is the point beyond which the other comes to fight and die or kill. I have been seeing a restlessness, chaos and anger among the people of the country for the past few days.
This anger is not against a single political party, political leader or politician, nor is it against a single soldier, nor against the IMF or its policies, rather this anger is against the rotten system that is in Pakistan. I am currently in vogue. I think most people in this society have the guts to respond. They can collapse at any moment like a camel. Big revolutions in the world ignited with just a small spark and swallowed the whole system. I have a gut feeling that the time is not far when workers will seize factories and set them on fire, farmers will seize land by force, when tenants will refuse to pay rent to landlords. When there is blood on the streets. The dead bodies hanging outside the chambers and parliament will belong to the operators of this system. And people will be making their own decisions. They will set up their own courts, they will make their own decisions and they will hang their necks as their own executioners. Then no reforms, no words, no lullabies will work.
The power will belong to the people, justice will also belong to the people, and the people themselves will do justice, then there will be no need for the police, the army, and the courts, which have delayed tactics.
The revolution of France, the Soviet Union and China is before us. The world is witnessing how one class has demolished the palaces of another privileged class occupying the resources. The dancing princes and princesses were reduced to ashes in the falling palaces. Is that time knocking at our door now? . Is it time for the people to pay their debt to the people who have been occupying here for decades? Has the moment arrived when the resource-possessors will be dragged to the streets? Remember, it will be the common people dragging the elite down, the middle class, who will be burdened with electricity bills, unable to pay children's fees, unable to pay the rent. They will be starving. There will be stumbling blocks for justice.
Remember that when the candle's wax runs out, the wick begins to burn, followed by either dawn or darkness. These people are seeing the darkness, now all that is left is to see the dawn.
