One thing Karl Max got right !
Karl Max writes that Capitalism leads many hungry and impoverished so better the wealth of the wealthy should be used to make sure no citizen of a country goes hungry ,,Isopanisad also teach everything belongs to Krsna and should be used in that way for the wellfare of all understanding everything belongs to God..Many wars are simply over financial gain ,,why is Putin attacking Ukraine ,,does Russia not have enough land ? Well it is over trillions of dollars worth in minerals and rare earth metals etc ..Is there really Drugs coming from Venezuela or is Trump trying to go to war with Venezuela to gain access to the oil there? He has threatened to take Canada and Greenland by force..everyting is possible for this Godless fellow , Musk has helped Trump destroy the US Goverment by firing value able members of the Goverment and close things like US aid that was started to help those in need world wide by JFK .Musk has over a trillion dollars with this money he could feed 2 billion people
2 billion people
With a trillion dollars, you could potentially feed over 2 billion people globally, as it is estimated that 2 billion people do not have regular access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food. This figure highlights the significant impact that such a large sum of money could have on alleviating hunger and improving food security.
Trillions of dollars are not used to help people but to increase Military spending I looked it up 2.7 trillion dollars for Military spending world wide and 2 billions people are suffering at least that many if not not more

Summary of Das Kapital
Karl Marx's critique of capitalism centers on the exploitation of labor, the dynamics of class struggle, and the inherent contradictions within the capitalist system, as detailed in his seminal work "Das Kapital."
Key Concepts in Marx's Critique of Capitalism
Surplus Value: At the heart of Marx's analysis is the concept of surplus value, which refers to the difference between the value produced by labor and the actual wages paid to workers. Marx argued that capitalists profit by paying workers less than the value of what they produce, leading to exploitation and inequality.
2
Class Struggle: Marx viewed history as a series of conflicts between social classes, primarily between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class). He believed that capitalism inherently creates class antagonisms, as the interests of these two groups are fundamentally opposed.
2
Alienation: Under capitalism, workers become alienated from their labor, the products they create, and their fellow workers. This alienation arises because workers do not own the means of production and are reduced to mere commodities themselves, leading to a loss of individuality and fulfillment.
1
Historical Materialism: Marx's analysis is grounded in historical materialism, which posits that economic systems evolve through historical processes driven by material conditions and class relations. He argued that capitalism emerged from the contradictions of feudalism and would eventually be replaced by socialism as a result of its internal contradictions.
2
Crises of Overproduction: Marx predicted that capitalism would lead to periodic economic crises due to overproduction, where goods exceed market demand. This results in economic instability, unemployment, and social unrest, further exacerbating class tensions.

Srila Prabhupada said many transcendental things about Food should be prasadam and everyone should have prasadam
The population has a right to use goods only after offering them to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the process of accepting prasāda. Unless one eats prasāda, he is certainly a thief. It is the duty of governors and kings to punish such thieves and maintain the world nicely. If this is not done, grains will no longer be produced, and people will simply starve. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.18.7)
Srila Prabhupada did not want only to feed the poor but everyone with prasadam poor or rich ,,in Mayapure Srila Prabhupada cried when he saw some boys fighting with dogs over left over prasadam and ordered no one should go hungry in a 10 miles radius of a temple ..now we have so many temples in Delhi and Mumbai,, and it is ISKCONs responsibility to serve Prasadam to everyone

Why is it that money that has been collected on behalf of ISKCON Food Relief program has not been sent to India? Where is that money? This is not good. If you are not intending to send for food distribution, then do not collect in the name of Food Relief.
750117 - Letter to Rupanuga written from Bombay
January 17, 1975
Brooklyn
My dear Rupanuga das,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated nil and have noted the contents. Why is it that money that has been collected on behalf of ISKCON Food Relief program has not been sent to India? Where is that money? This is not good. If you are not intending to send for food distribution, then do not collect in the name of Food Relief. Whatever is collected for India food distribution, must be sent as soon as it is collected, to India. You should send it to: Bank of America, International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Mayapur-Vrndavana Fund, account no. 16026 in Bombay. It must be sent, otherwise it will be a discrepancy. The plan that the lawyer has proposed to you is very good. There can be two separated accounts, ISKCON Food Relief, and BBT.
Let Gopala Krishna come to India immediately. When he comes, he can get approval from Delhi for importing grains.
Secure the new building. Be cautious. Do not spoil the negotiation. That building is very nice. We want it.
The Bulletin that you have sent is very nice. Pancaratna has done very nicely. Maybe you can approach all the constituent members of the CSR (mentioned on the 2nd page) for giving us facility to expand our preaching work even more.
Regarding Harikesa, I thought he was going to London to take standing orders of books from the libraries there. Anyway he is there now, he can be engaged as you both see it fit. Consult amongst yourselves.
I hope this meets you in good health.
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami


The West German Goverment at one point was upset with ISKCON Germany for collecting for Food for life in Bangladesh and India but it appears no money was never send so Srila Prabhupada wrote such letters
