They have needs and a salary. They have no right to desire a better life, better instruction, better political consciousness, better health care, etc. Only that allows capitalists to show so much disdain towards those who have no money to even buy 1 bag of rice to feed them, as is the case of the vast exploited masses of Africa, South America, and India, just to give a few examples.
