   “Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.

Abstract 

The essay’s Author argues that time comes for reconstructing some of America’s Social-economic 

set-ups. The COVID-19 pandemic strengthened this requirement by teaching two important lessons. 1) 

The magnitude of the Unknown World, as well as the amount of Universe Mysteries still are 

threatening. Thus, significant efforts are required for resolving future dangers. 2) The most promising 

way for coping with such dangers is by enacting collaboration, cooperation and partnerships between 

the Public, Private and Business sectors. The Author claims that this was, in fact, the original spirit of 

the Founding Fathers. What is required now, is just to go back to basics. Today is needed, a 

reconstruction of the American Dream, that originally was offered some ninety years ago. Since the 

running Brutal Capitalism concept fails in providing satisfactory remedies to America’s failing social 

services, it makes sense to use other methods that work well in other places. Moreover, this move is 

justified because hard work, devotion, working together and collaboration are indispensable parts of 

the American genuine heritage. Traditionally they helped US to resume its role as the World’s Leader. 

The brutal Russian invasion to Ukraine, in February 24
th,

 just demonstrates how serious and 

intimidating is the current international complex situation.

1. Introduction 

January 2022 is a good time for me, as a senior writer, to recollect my thoughts about America today. 

The ending process of the COVID-19 pandemic, which takes place now, is also a proper time for 

reexamining, rethinking and summing up ideas on future developments. Thus, we shortly explore 

history and some of the events occurred during the past 150 years.  

The well-known Statue of Liberty, is a good departing point for any discussion on people’s freedom 

and general liberty. For many immigrants, who came to America by sea, the Statue of Liberty 

symbolizes the promise land of new hopes. It signifies the opening of many new opportunities. It was 

for them: “an iconic symbol of the American Dream” (Wikipedia). 

The Covid-19 Plague, on the other hand, with already millions death worldwide, even if it is not the 

worst-case event, is serious enough for being a proper opportunity for reexamining and rethinking some 

of our main paradigms. Because the subject is so large, we focus here mostly on United States of 

America with the hope that some of the conclusions will be applicable for other countries.

2. The Argument 

The CORONA pandemic taught us, during the past two years, some important lessons. This general 

impression, which is too fresh for being regarded as a solid scientific material, is good enough for 

generating doubts and wonders about the relevancy of the current socio-economic system-the American 

Capitalism, and its ability to face future challenges. Thus, after discussing two main lessons learnt from 

the current COVID-19 pandemic, a general socio-economic fresh perception is proposed. We hope that 

these ideas could be used as a platform for rebuilding American socio-economic system and improve 

its ability to meet future challenges.   

2.1 Unknown Mysteries still Characterize the Universe  

Despite the tremendous technological advancements and in spite of all the most impressive medical 

achievements, a small unseen tiny virus challenges the world in the 21
st
 Century. It is fair to assume 

that the whole World, over eight billion inhabitants, was surprised by this little creature, while nobody 

really knows what the next unknown threats have to be expected. It is true that the advanced 

pharmaceutical industry, was able, due to current R&D, to offer reliable vaccination and some types of 

supporting drugs, but unknown developments are still waiting around the corner. 

The simple lesson learnt from the pandemic is quite clear–Future, withholds some interesting, 

mysterious or even dangerous medical surprises for Humankind. How to prepare and what exactly 

should be done in order to be able and qualified for meeting such challenges is a subject of another and 

a more specific paper. 

This paper intends only to attract the intention of state-persons, politicians and other decision-makers to 

the coming challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic reminds us all that in addition to the Earth and 

Climate Hazards we have now and also will have in the future, a threat of many less-known 

medical plagues. Recognizing and addressing these intimidations is the first step for confronting 

and resolving the dangers. 

On the other side, we have to realize that future events may be surprising, un-precedential and 

un-conventual. Thus, as George Bernard Show recommends, we have to encourage un-conventional 

scholars to confront and meet future events. 

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in 

trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the 

unreasonable man” (George Bernard Shaw)  

In any case, Governments have to be smart enough for choosing the right capable and courageous 

people (frequently not politicians) for preparing the world for the future. 

2.2 A Decent Public Health System Is a Must Today 

The COVID-19 pandemic clearly indicates that medical threats are international, boundaries-less 

and do not accept any political or man-made borders or limits. World Nations, have no choice, 

they have to cooperate for fighting together against these threats. Although every nation is entitled to 

run the battle according to its policy and priorities, but at the end, all horses drink the same water from 



www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/elp                   Economics, Law and Policy                        Vol. 5, No. 1, 2022

the same bucket.    

Moreover, the present Corona plague indicates that overcoming this threat depends on the ability to 

combine all the relevant organizations for the common goal. The two main sectors, the Private and the 

Public health organizations must come together for this purpose. In this case, like in others, life 

indicates that the former Capitalist competitive system, which negates such a cooperation, cannot 

resolve the issue alone. Only collaboration, teamwork and partnerships can provide the necessary 

solution. This type of action should be enacted in all levels, between local organizations, among 

nations, between different regimes and on the global arena.   

Men and women have no choice; they have to cooperate against Nature’s hazards. This World 

crisis point out quite clear that the right way to go and hope for succusses is by national and 

international cooperation and working together. As Albert Einstein had noted: “Today we must 

abandon competition and secure cooperation. This must be the central fact in all our considerations 

of international affairs, otherwise, we face certain disaster”. 

After discussing the above two lessons learnt from the Covid-19 Pandemic a short historical review is 

provided. Then the stage will be ready for presenting the main course–a more comprehensive outlook 

on some of the central principles that should guide and direct American Capitalist Society. The 

discussion focuses on US mostly and little on other industrialist nations, because the Author knows 

little about Less Developed Countries. Usually, and practically, the author tends to minimize his 

remarks on subjects he knows little.   

 

3. The Present Situation 

Over ninety years had passed since the “American Dream” was portraited by James Truslow Adams 

in 1931. It was a dream and a hope that millions of immigrants, from all parts of the world, had borne 

in their minds and hearts. For many this dream came through as they have enjoyed good and pleasant 

life in America. 

However, toward the end of the 1980s, two main processes took place; First, the collapse of the Soviet 

Union and the Communist ideology, as an ideology and as political-economic regimes worldwide. 

Secondly, President George Bush, while addressing this promising change had expressed the wish for 

coming of a World New Order, under the auspices of the American Capitalism. What happened in 

Russia is beyond the scope of this paper. With regard to US and the advancements of the American 

Capitalist Regime, two perceptions took place: 1) An Optimist–a non- realistic, and 2) A Pessimist–a 

more realistic one. Two known books reflect the two options. They have tried foreseeing the situation 

in the coming millennium: the first was Francis Fukuyama’s “The End of History and the last 

man”. The second was Sam Huntington’s “the Clash of Civilizations”. Fukuyama assumed, 

mistakenly, that as the Cold War is ending, and there will be no more wars–meaning, no more 

historical violent. Such a naïve wish-full thinking proved to be a utopia, which was failed within few 

years. Sam Huntington argued almost the opposite. He suggested to divide the World into nine 



www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/elp                   Economics, Law and Policy                        Vol. 5, No. 1, 2022 

40 
Published by SCHOLINK INC. 

Civilizations while assuming that future wars or conflicts, will be between them. This forecast was 

more realistic since it foresaw more wars and conflicts.  

However, with the moving into the new Millennium, American Capitalism continues galloping for 

increasing corporates’ wealth while the New York’s Stock market continued to sky rocketing. 

President Bill Clinton encouraged the economy while young people start having hope. But then 

occurred the big terror attack of September the 11
th

. This was a living example of the theses expressed 

in the above two books. It was a terror attack–a new type of post-modern war signifying that, wars do 

not stop, as Fukuyama mistakenly hoped. They became a battle or a fight between Civilizations, as 

Sam Huntington foresaw. The 9/11
th

 terror attack, later drag US into 20 years of the Afghanistan War, 

that costed several trillion dollars.    

With the incoming of the new Millennium scholars started wondering whether the American 

Capitalism is the best qualified system for resolving the sever social-economic issues of the time.  

Joseph Stiglitz (2002) questioned the value and the worth of the Globalization in his book 

“Globalization and its Discontents”. Additionally, another Nobel Prize Laurette Paul Krugman 

(1999) examined the world economy, denied the classical capitalist solutions and proposed some 

different ways and monetary reforms in his book: “The Return of Depression Economics”. A third 

critic was presented Prof. Ha-Joon Chang (2010), who paraphrased the maxim on Democracy. He 

claims that the free-market capitalism is the worst economic system on earth. Further he argues that 

by ignoring or omitting the free-market system, as the sole solution, other forms of capitalism could be 

much better. For this purpose, he published his book: “23 Things they don't tell you about 

Capitalism”.  

However, and in spite all precautions, the American Brutal Capitalism was so eager that it pushed the 

economy to the 2008-9 financial crisis. Many explanations proposed for justifying the crisis. However, 

only few dared to blame the American Capitalism for this unresponsible greediness. As many times in 

the past, Easy-to-be-made Capital, is always the easy-to-evaporate one.  

This was another clear evidence that genuine capitalists care first for their own interests and less about 

the “Common Good”. Moreover, those who loudly oppose any public intervention in private business, 

did not hesitated to be the first who pursed and asked for public moneys for helping them in bad times.   

The next denial of the capitalist principle of Open Competition at the Free Market was expressed 

few years later, by President Donald Trump, when declaring on his policy of “America First”. This 

challenging declaration surprised many traditional economists, who blindly followed, the idea of free 

international market and competition, disregarding and sometime even contradicting the basic interests 

of local industries. By this declaration President Trump indicated that sometimes, and maybe 

frequently, National interests precede theoretical economic maxims. It is fair to assume that often, 

providing decent employment and meaningful jobs to fellow citizens, precedes increasing 

dividends to the stockholders.   

 



www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/elp                   Economics, Law and Policy                        Vol. 5, No. 1, 2022

Published by SCHOLINK INC. 

This astonished move, even if or when it came out of political reasons, has a remarkable impact on 

national economy. It clearly indicates that: the “Free Market” is no more the sole and exclusive 

smart and right decision-maker, there are also other participants within every decision-making 

process. Such a policy, stating by President Trump, contrasts the teaching of many professors of 

economics and the advice of similar consultants. It preferred supporting people’s first and increasing 

the value of the employees. A worry, economists frequently forget.   

And then came the 2019-2022 COVID-19 pandemic, that put many business initiatives at hold. It 

raised doubts about the strength of the current system to run and lead the economy. Consequently, it 

forced to run an unprecedented policy of public support of private enterprises and the use of 

government budgets for assisting small, medium and large businesses.  

Summing up things together, one may say that at present, at the 2020s, American society is in a mess. 

Many of the previous rules and arrangements are questioned and even denied. Some politicians and 

social activists argue that the historical American Dreams does not match present-day’s US reality. It is 

just a past remarkable declaration that is far away from being achieved. Many political fractions try to 

lead politics, run the streets and impose their bizarre ideas. America is political divided into two large 

groups while one group does not even listen to the other. The 2019-2022 COVID-19 pandemic reality, 

does not resolve the existing popular conflict. It even increases it. Many agree that such a situation is 

bad and even dangerous. They call and wait for a change.   

As a humble contribution, we offer hereby some notions and ideas for promoting the required change 

and encouraging its execution. Since always a good idea requires having competent followers for 

ensuring its execution, these thoughts may help them a little. George Bernard Shaw had already 

referred to these “change agents” by noting: “Those who cannot change their minds cannot change 

anything”. Thus, we try here to bridge over those social conflicts by offering some different paradigms. 

Ones that were learnt from the pandemic behavior but are connected also to America's past heritage. 

Let us start with basics. 

3.1 We the People  

Who are “the People”?–those that Presidents and Governments’ officials frequently claim that they 

represent.    

Throughout the past 75 years, since the ending of World War Two, American population grew by about 

100 million people. That population grew not only quantitatively, by almost 50 percent, but, have 

changed characteristically also. It has changed from a homogeneous Anglo-Saxon dominated society 

into a heterogeneous mixed-races society. Such a heterogeneous society evokes many new or 

different problems, never appear before. Not only that the new emigrants seemed different, they 

differed in their thinking, their basic education, their customs and daily behavior. Naturally some of the 

“old-timers” old and young, feel bad about these differences, while some were even more violent 

against the new-comers. Although similar feelings and actions appear in other similar countries 

Americans are little too extremist.

42 
Published by SCHOLINK INC. 

US’s Prudent, Strength, Competence and Ability springs mainly from its history as an immigrant 

country. Although some tend to forget or hide this legacy the facts remain so. History shows that when 

various people of different countries join together, they have the chance to succeed in building a new 

mighty Super-power. This was in the past and may happen in the future also. Let us and every single 

individual support this idea. This is the way great ambitious nations are created. We believe that this 

idea will assist US overcoming its present crisis.     

3.2 How to Assess People? 

   “Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves  

                        much the higher consideration” (Abraham Lincoln)  

Following Lincoln’s above statement, we have to added that Labor is carried out by people–Laborers. 

There is no anonymous labor. Labor means laborers, working people, doers, human beings. Thus, our 

interpretation of Lincoln’s phrase is that nurturing, developing and empowering people, specifically 

working ones, precedes promoting capital interests. The basic Capitalist Value Chain should be 

reversed–Human-beings can invent, create, produce and increase Capital, while Capital cannot 

and is incapable of creating or producing human-beings, hardly it can hire or buy them. Based on 

that axiom, it is right recommending that the People of America, their needs, desires and hopes, 

should be the first and foremost future concern of every US Administration, Government or 

Agency. This is our interpretation to the Constitutional “We the People”, and the right meaning of the 

“Blessing of Liberty” goal. The above statement should be the Highpoint, the Moto and the 

North-Pole Star of every public and private job-holder and of organizations or individuals, who are 

involved in the work of Government.  

 

4. Two Notions on Labor and Laborers 

“Try not to become a man of success,  

       but rather try to become a man of 

value.” 

 (Albert Einstein)  

Although many agree that a change is required and even indispensable, few will point on the specific 

points. Thus, two critical subjects are referred below. Even if they are self-understandable, known, old 

and daily practice indicates that many job-holders tend to forget these commitments. Some will wonder 

why, when trying to improve American social-economic system, we begin with touchy points like 

people in general and laborers in particular. The answer is that, following the Founding Fathers 

teaching, we see The People as the basic cornerstone, the crucial component and the main leverage for 

any initiative and improvement in both the public or the private sectors. 

Moreover, while discussing the people, and accepting the “People come First” statement, two subjects 

have to be considered in detail: 1) Hard Work, and 2) Team Work.   

 



www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/elp                   Economics, Law and Policy                        Vol. 5, No. 1, 2022 

43 
Published by SCHOLINK INC. 

4.1 Hard Work 

American and Western History, Legacy, Literature and Culture are full with many stories and 

examples about the critical role Hard Work has in any marches to success. Hard Work is almost the 

crucial prerequisite for any attempt to initiate or accomplish anything. Thus, those who are not ready or 

willing to work hard are gently advised to look for other opportunities.  

Pele, a famous Brazilian soccer player, explains: “Success is no accident. It is hard work, 

perseverance, learning, studying scarifying and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to 

do”.  

Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister, point on hard work as a prerequisite for a 

successful career: “I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the 

recipe”.  

While Sam Ewing, an American baseball player, reflects on the character of the hard workers: 

“Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn 

up their noses, and some don't turn up at all”.  

4.2 Team Work 

“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence     

win Championships” (Michael Jordan) 

Business persons want money, Military Generals pursue victories, Sportspersons compete for 

championship while social activists and upscale national leaders seek prosperity and success. The 

quotes at this paper indicate that most social leaders understand that these goals could be achieved only 

by working together, as a Nation, a group or a team. Although such a claim may contradict some of the 

American individualistic and traditional maxims, the 20
th

 Century’s technological achievements, such 

outer space flights and deep ocean diving, demanded that execution will be carried out by teams. Helen 

Keller, the bright blind social personality, had said it simple: “Alone we can do so little, together we 

can do so much”.   

The current struggle against the Covid-19 Virus also indicates how cooperation and collaboration 

within and between the medical teams is important and crucial for getting success and conquering the 

plague. The huge unknown universe, which threatens human civilization, forces all power involved to 

find ways of working and researching together. The world needs individual talents, breakthroughs 

initiated by individuals, but further R&Ds depend on team works.   

Hard Work and Team Work have also an additional effect. Besides their effect on the quality of the 

work and the execution’s worth, they also have a remarkable effect on the type and the form of the 

formal and un-formal relationships within the organizations. Similarly, they affect the inner culture and 

climate. Such a positive atmosphere is a crucial requirement for building a healthier and supporting 

environment for social and communal life. People working together, in a given department, a group, a 

team, like fire-fighters or other emergency’s squads run special in-house relationships, maintain a 

special supporting climate and use unique jargon. Working within such a given designated organization 



www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/elp                   Economics, Law and Policy                        Vol. 5, No. 1, 2022

helps people to adopt unofficial rules and behaviors beyond the formal requirements of the organization. 

It also trains them to care for their colleagues and support them in bad times. These are the places 

where Fraternity gets its true shape and meaning. Unfortunately, the business competitive atmosphere 

does not encourage such relations in many greater organizations. Henry Ford has nicely expressed his 

feelings on this topic by saying: “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. 

Working together is success”.   

American manufacturing industries, learning from their foreign competitors, had replaced their former 

“classical assembly line” systems by different forms of team or group works. Time came that the rest, 

the industries that stick to old “Scientific Management Methods”, will move forward and will adapt the 

more effective and human-oriented team-work.    

 

5. A Promising Future Requires a Fresh Outlook   

“Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom 

involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of 

responsibility” (Sigmund Freud, Civilization and its Discontents)  

For about two hundred years Americans believed that Capitalism, as a social-economic system, will 

resolve their problems and will bring them successes and pleasure. Many scholars, in the Academy and 

in the Business-world promise them that this is the only and may be the exclusive way for making good 

life in United States.  

Unfortunately, at the second decade of the 21
st
 century and at the hopefully ending of the Covid-19 

pandemic, many Americans, of all walks of life, are still looking for a better future. For being fair with 

the readers and respecting our fellow citizens, we tend to be very moderate by pointing out on some 

reconstructing strategies, that if smartly be inactivated, may bring some satisfaction and prosperity to 

many.  Further, some refreshing ideas are addressed. 

5.1 Meaning of Life  

“Ever more people today have the means to live,  

but no meaning to live for” (Viktor Frankl)   

Having a vision, a goal or a given meaning to a person’s initiative seemed today relevant and 

self-explainable. It is unfortunate that only in the second half of the 20
th

 Century researchers, scholars, 

managers and executives had come to this conclusion. It is pity that many well-known Academicians 

realized that workers, laborers, scholars and actually everyone, will act better and will function more 

professionally when being familiarize with the organization's vision and when being acquainted with 

the firm’s Goals. 

Most organizations, for-profit and not-for-profit, experience during their life, bad times. Usually, they 

fail meeting their employees’ financial demands. Providing an inspiring picture of the future, setting 

meaningful goals for the coming days and empowering the employees' self-esteem, may, to a given 

extent, replace monetary compensations.      



www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/elp                   Economics, Law and Policy                        Vol. 5, No. 1, 2022

The last pandemic indicates how important, assisting and effective are human touch in bad times. The 

struggle against the Covid-19 Virus and all the Public-Health campaigners, who work so hard for 

overcoming the plague should remind us on the thanks and credit we owe them. It is another example 

of human initiative, which is so required and demanded around. With regard to this medical effort, it is 

worth citing Winston Churchill, who noted in the “Never Give In!” speech, at the British Parliament: 

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few”.         

Advanced technology and the digitation movement in particular, drive many to ignore and disregard 

the value of human touch. Many do not understand that as high and sophisticated technology can go, so 

must be the staff who serve it.   

From our early days of childhood, throughout school and university genuine Americans taught 

us–“Make money and that will make you Happy”. They have said it, not because it reflected their 

own experience, but rather, because it was the American Dream. 

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic, besides similar events taught that this is not the right equation 

for good life. Money, Capital or Wealth are very helpful and assisting for enjoying life but, not 

necessarily the crucial ones. Viktor Frankl, based on his observations in Nazi Concentration Camps, 

during World War Two, claims that in order to maintain Qualitative Life, one should permanently 

pursue meaning to his/her Life. Moreover, he explains that this “meaning of life” must be concrete 

and particular  

“The meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. 

What matter, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific 

meaning of a person’s life, at a given moment” ([Viktor Frankl)   

The Corona pandemic taught us how little money can do in critical moments and how unbelieving help 

may provide a supporting gesture or an encouraging word.   

The conclusion, the saying: people should join together and collaborate in struggling against 

natural catastrophes, man-made tragedies or terror disasters, is a lesson should be taught to young 

children from their early days in kindergartens. When young children will properly be educated 

accordingly, it will be easier for them later to act similarly along their life.    

5.2 A Visionary Nation Should Evoke a Genuine Dream 

A Nation, which is inspired to be a Super-power, a Union that pretends to lead the World and a country 

that wishes to be a nice place for decent life, should be a visionary nation. It should rest on inspiring 

ideas, just rules, fair play and equal opportunities. After all the bad occurrences, the mal functions 

and the unjust behaviors, enumerated along the previous pages, the United States yet, is not a lost case. 

Thus, we do not wait for an extreme revolution or a similar event to lead a radical change. We just 

suggest to change some of the leading capitalist theoretical guidelines. We offer to install a more 

moderate people-oriented, political-economic system, based on the positive elements taken from 

Capitalism and Socialism. It should rest on practical experience in every country and should be more 

people-oriented than capital friendly. We should never forget Abraham Lincoln’s statement: “Labor 



www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/elp                   Economics, Law and Policy                        Vol. 5, No. 1, 2022

Published by SCHOLINK INC. 

is prior to, and independent of, capital”. With this vision in mind and for carrying out this mission we 

do not have to go too far away. We can just adopt a ninety years old original text of the American 

Dream: 

“The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, the set of Ideals 

(democracy, rights, liberty, opportunity and equality) in which freedom includes the 

opportunity for prosperity and success, as well as an upward social mobility for family 

a and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers” (Wikipedia)   

This is the proper place for asking, first, what, really people want? and secondly, how to get it? 

However, it is beyond our duty to ask whether such a demand is really needed or justified. Similarly, 

we refer only to just and legitimate ways of provision and negate any type of unjust ways of supply, 

like violent or terror.   

 

6. Conclusion 

    “I have a dream” Speech (Martin Luther King)  

In concluding this assay, we have also a dream, We, hope to see America regains its position as the 

World Leader. We hope it resumes its historical stand as the World’s Prophetic and Visionary 

Nation. We wish to face a Novel Global Vision. A vision, which contains, resolving Nature’s 

unknown Mysteries, leading advance science and technology efforts, while promoting and empowering 

human ambitions. However, we hope that these wishes will not remain as dreams or wishful desires. 

We believe that while those expectations gradually will be fulfilled a decent, meaningful and just, 

satisfying and happy daily life will endure for generation to come.    

P.S.  

Writing in Mars 2022, when Autocratic Regime’s armies attack against and invade into, a Democratic 

State, while all international means fail to prevent it, reminds me of  the darken days of autumn 1939, 

when Hitler began World War Two. We can only paraphrase Winston Churchill, who noted in the 

“Never Give In!” speech, at the British Parliament: “Never in the field of human conflict” were so 

few Autocrats responsible for so many sorrows and deaths done by the running dictators of Russia.  

As our tiny contribution we can only offer Pete Seger’s Song: “We shall Overcome” that “became 

the anthem of the American Civil Right Movement of the 1950 and 1960”.  

“We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome someday 

Oh, deep in my heart, I know that I do believe, We shall overcome, someday   

We shall be all right, We shall be all right, We shall be all right, someday 

We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, someday.' 

This song is so inspiring because it offers courage, comfort and hope” for people all over the 

world (Wikipedia). Thus, let us wish Victory and Peace to all today’s Freedom-Fighters and the 

supporters of liberty and Democracy.
