duration of the progress will depend on the magnitude of the

social issues. The path of development implies efforts and
hardships but it is the only way that should be taken in order

to reach new social order that has been desired for so long.

Morality is subject to transformations, but it remains

basically unchanged.

Imposed private property expropriation is immoral. History
has witnessed cases when moral principles were used for

immoral actions. A classic example of this is the Communist

Manifesto that contained moral slogans for liberation of the

exploited and oppressed working class, while at the same

time lots of innocent people were killed during the October
Revolution in Russia.

Friedrich Engels says, “Do not steal”, but it has no value in a

society where there is no personal property. Sending moral

messages to one class and destroying another class, while

pointing at an abstract future, is glorification of something

essentially lacking integrity.

A vain person has no capacity to lead and preach.
