Excellent question

From the JungleTrader we have a revelation and a question:
Marxist Monk

Last January the Dalai Lama gave a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad.

"I am a Marxist monk, a Buddhist Marxist," he said. "I belong to the Marxist camp, because unlike capitalism, Marxism is more ethical. Marxism, as an ideology, takes care of the welfare of its employees and believes in distribution of wealth among the people of the state.”

What does Nancy Pelosi think about that?

I can’t pretend to read the twisted thoughts of any in today’s political class, but since she is the titular head of her party in the House of Representatives, and because of the ideas held by and statements made by the two Democratic candidates currently running for President.(and the two that were on the ticked for Pres and VP last time), I would guess that Nancy is far more at home with the Dali Lama’s political leanings than the history and traditions of the USA.
