It all started with the discussion of *real* independence of my "third 
world" country.  Seeing that every, yes, every important decision in my 
faaaaar away country was carried out only to satisfy the "developed" 
countries we had economic relationship with.  This is a real problem 
when you can not even discuss the wages of carpenters without asking the 
international powers. 

The discussion lead to the discussion of imperialism.. which brought the 
economic relationships between countries.  Well, this brings the 
question of inequalities between countries and its reasons.  The 
discussion of inequality of countries brought the discusion of 
inequalities between classes in a country.  If you want to inquire *and 
be honest* in your inquiry and answers, this will force you to read 
Marx.  From that point on you are hooked!
