    i don't agree the populist conception of --income inequality--
    i agree that as power blocks ; - public = riches = soldiers -.. totaly.

    if we want to help to public then we must incite Secret Services and
    besiege the Riches and Soldiers ! not by Che tactics.... very easy !

    they somehow don't understand that the most notable
    social economic rawmaterials....mines...values are the poor ones !!!

    this is my ideology .
