Perish the thought of how this saffron enrobed blighter raises the bulk of his financial support while wading among our profit obsessed Capitalist cess pits. Here's hoping he manages to avoid staining the hem of his precious robe with any of our hard earned $h!t.

Even more curious is how this self-proclaimed "Marxist" is at such odds with having his homeland appropriated by the world's foremost practitioners of Marxism. One would think he should welcome his Communist Chinese overlords with open arms.
