The Liberals are bound to fail - and are taking us all down the same route - break ranks while there is time... by Qalandar Memon on Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 6:47pm The liberal dream is bound to fail.
Candles have been lit before and aunties in Gucci bags and sunglasses - as much as we love you - have gotten down from there chauffeur driven cars to march on a lawn at liberty roundabout for sometime now.
It hasn't changed a single soul.
Hasn't touched the views of that man on a cycle who after working 12 hours on security rides past you worried more about his children's stomach then your candles.
Your servants and sons and daughters have been touched and congratulations they will carry on the tradition ( of lighting candles and sipping whiskey - though not the servants after employment).
These liberal tactics have failed and will fail. They are callous. Twitter and facebook and guardian articles do not touch anyone either...we move in our own circles...round and round and round...
The liberal agenda has been the dominate agenda in the economic domain. It has directed Pakistan's economy. Your children work for the World Bank or as consultants for the Asian Development bank or NGO's that amount to the thing, that call for more privatization, that call for more sales tax, and less subsidies, that call for the burden of privatization to fall on the poor and that allow the rich to get richer - some call it neo-liberalism but it is all better understood as,'socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor'.
So when you talk about 'rule of law', or 'burka' or (alas) 'blasphemy laws'. no one outside your circle really is convinced. They rightly think you hypocritical - after all, on an empty stomach who wants to listen to your urdu/english lectures on 'civilization'...
Where is my bread going to come from they ask?
