In 1993,somewhere in the no man"s land between the Thailand and Myanmar,i happened to settle down.During the period of that time ,i was told how arakan revolution can successfully emerge when people become very poor under the ruling regime by my old buddy who was also my comrade in journey  of revolution at some point of time.We were young and callow in the mysterious journey of revolution.My crony who explained me that poor is supposed to be dispensable.If poor patience is running out,there will be definitely real defiance.Poor are representative of a new generation.It does not belong to the older revolution movement.I stupidly agreed with  him while most of the people in Arakan were receiving end of society and economy .We hoped that revolution was on the way.It could destroy oppressive regime eventually.Before the tempest ,atmosphere was very calm that we believed.The other day my friend, who believed revolution led by poor, had gone to live in Uncle Sam when he retired from revolution.I was left only lonely to see what happen on our own theory. we were wrong because we were callow.According to Carl Marx,the poor just do not have the stuffing for revolution.When he looked into history , clue just rolled the shelves speaking of how only better off lead revolts.Feudalism was collapsed by prosperous,growing bourgeois class and he,likewise, predicted that intellectuals would have to takeover communist.The poor left to themselves.The sad fact is that poor never revolt but they are good enough for transitory bouts of unrest,no more.the middle class is one that questions the official version and fight for justice in every case because they have enough things and are educated to lead it.So many kinds led by middle class are occurring by the day,and their quantities grow.Just to say in business ,the fashion world has a revolution every hour.If we can keep growing of middle class,then there will be successfully revolution.
