Destructive capitalism

The Wall Street agitation that ignited similar movements across Europe vindicated my conviction that the destructive machine of capitalism is sure to be burned down by the fire that was so far burning in the hearts of 99% people of the world who were exploited by the 1% corporate giants. Writers like Rabinadranath Tagore, Thomas Hardy and T.S. Elliot much earlier pointed at the destructive consequences of the materialistic industrial revolution, but the general people were hypnotised by the glamour and glitzy lifestyle that the new civilisation brought. Once again it is proved that when the powerful are not knowledgeable, they always impose a system of greed and exploitation. So, the new trend is to establish a society marked with justice and faith. People have started to pour into the streets asserting themselves so valiantly that it seems it is only a matter of time before the juggernauts of capitalism are completely washed away by the waves of change for the better.
