Our Nepali capitalism is cruel to the bone, not that western capitalism is not, but our version degrades the worker to the extreme. Nepali society is relatively new to consumer capitalism. We have created our own type of capitalism where because we straight dived into it we have kept our feudal ways while adapting to capitalism. We don't think when we buy and consume. Who is this money going to? Is it going to our local "Kirana Pasals"? No. Profits end up in the hands of the big business, and in most cases go straight to multinational companies. Profits won't stay here and help our local Nepalese economy. The trickle down theory is a lie. We are helping the people who are oppressing us by buying their products. We are supporting the cruel oppressive capitalist system by supporting their businesses. If we want a more fair and just society, we have to boycott all multinationals and their products, we have to support our local produce, and buy stuff made by small artisans. Locally produced things are better in quality anyways. We have to learn that greed has no limits, you can earn a lot of money and will still think that you want more. Consumerism has no limit, we will keep consuming until the earth is finished of its resources if we leave the system in the hands of multinational cooperations. In this song Chari Maila sings about how cruel and unforgiving the capitalist system can be. The people live in the brink of survival, and when a natural crisis happens, the capitalist master will not give slack so that people can survive. The result is the loan shark, who in the end is also owned by the capitalist. Here are the English translations to the song: Capitalism is cruel to the extreme Predators and prey Even relationships between us Has become a commodity It tires the people Trying too hard for capital We dig our own grave By destroying the already destroyed earth Consumerism has no limits There is no end for greed It is an accident of human society The world is increasing its speed Civilization and development has an end Harder to live than ever The proletariat struggle In the life of slaverymore

This song is about the 10 year civil war in Nepal and how progress made inevitably because of the war regressed back into the conservative society that caused the war in the first place. Here are the translations to the lyrics : There’s a load of money in the capitalist’s account It’s a year’s worth of profit A year’s profit and a year’s wages Weighs differently for the wage labourer Hammering away to make construction aggregates It’s impossible to save a rupee Loads full of sand for the laborer to haul Duped into the middleman’s web The load is of debt, the interest rate kills The load is of debt, and of the interest rate Money is the weapon of the capitalist Buying off leaders of the revolution Breaking unions being scared of rebellion Bribing with the nectar of Coca-cola Suppressing us economically Police kicks the martyr’s dream America murders the fighter The state is maintained upon exploitation and suppression Hands of the revolution more
