Bangladesh seriously needs revolution. Thank God the Maoists have taken up arms there to overthrow the system. They have not done too well, they are completely insane, and the Islamists have united against them, but we must wish them well. After all, only the Maoists are fighting to get rid of the system, the system that kills so many.
Reasons.
Electricity is scarce and most do not have access to clean water. Roads are in terrible shape and agriculture is lagging far behind where it ought to be.
In other words, it is a total capitalist South Asian clusterfuck. Get rid of it.
Even more reasons.
⅓ of rural Bangladeshis are landless (for contrast, 50% of Central American rural ppl are landless). All land reforms since independence have failed.
Truth is, if you are landless in Bangladesh, I would wager that you are probably starving. The land question is clearly the heart of the matter here. If someone disagrees that giving these folks land will keep them from starving, please speak up in the comments.

Islam is quite a powerful force, so unless they can combine leftism with Islam, it doesn't stand much a chance.
Anyway, a number of Islamic nations, though, have tilted westward with Islamic approval and it's more common than in Christian or other nations (Hindu, Buddhist).
Sorry, I mean, tilted leftward - lol.
