Osho continues:
"It is tremendously beautiful, and with a little change I can use it for my own purposes.

"First, his exact statement: he says, 'Proletariat…' his word for have-nots 'Proletariat of the world unite' – and don't be afraid because – 'you have nothing to lose except your chains.'

"Moments come in history when a small group of cunning, clever, people start exploiting the whole society. All the money goes on gathering on one side and all the poverty and starvation on the other. Naturally this state cannot be continued forever. Sooner or later those who have nothing are going to overthrow those who have all.

"Revolution is a class action; it is a class struggle. It is basically political; it has nothing to do with religion, nothing to do with spirituality. And it is also violent because those who have power are not going to lose their vested interest easily. It is going to be a bloody, violent struggle in which thousands, sometimes millions of people will die.

"Thirty million people were killed just in the Russian Revolution. The czar's whole family, he was the king of Russia before the revolution, was killed so brutally by the revolutionaries that it is inconceivable. Even a six-month-old girl was killed. Now, she was absolutely innocent, she had done no harm to anybody; but just because she belonged to the royal family…. The whole royal family had to be destroyed completely. Seventeen people were killed, and not just killed but cut into pieces.

"It is bound to happen in a revolution. Centuries of anger ultimately turn into blind violence.

"And the last thing to remember: revolution changes nothing. It is a wheel: one class comes into power, others become powerless, but sooner or later the powerless are going to become the majority – because the powerful don't want to share their power; they want to have it in as few hands as possible.

"Now, you cannot conceive it: in in this country there are nine hundred million people, but half the capital of the country is just in Mumbai. Nine hundred million people in the whole country, and half the capital of the whole country is just in a small city."
