Bhairavi Desai and Biju Mathew - True Marxists.

There is an activist in New York named Biju Mathew who proudly endorses Marxism as a way of life. He is not only an American Marxist, and an activist at that, but he is the professor of the Business Administration department of all things, at New Jersey’s Rider University. He is also a contributor to Rethinking Marxism.

Not only is he anti-Capitalist, but he teaches those values at a business school to young minds trying to build towards careers and independence in life. Not surprising that he is the co-founder of the Forum of Indian Leftists and a huge advocate of fellow Indian Marxist Bhairavi Desai.

He published a book titled Taxi!: Cabs and Capitalism in New York City, which claims that taxi drivers are exploited. So it is no wonder that he is also an organizer of New York Taxi Workers Alliance, and it is no secret that he is a fan of the TWA’s antagonistic leader.

Desai finds a reason to fight against progress at every step. Today, studies show that credit card readers in cabs have increased fares and tips, yet when the City mandated credit card acceptance by taxi drivers, she argued sternly against it claiming it would be bad for drivers. Drivers get the fare and the tips while owners must pay the fees. She was against it simply because it was about capitalism and more business.
She advocated for a six cent tax per fare on her own drivers that fools drivers into thinking it funds access to the Affordable Care Act “This is a good thing,” said Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the TWA. “This is going to give services to a population that’s been exploited.” Yet, the truth is more heinous, as the money goes to a more sketchy, “disability insurance and health-care navigation services.” Double speak for “bureaucracy”. As one cabbie stated, “I thought the 6 cents would go to health care.” It will actually cost drivers $10 million to $15 million annually and David Pollack, executive director of the Committee for Taxi Safety calls it a “scam.”

Like communism itself, the major flaw was that while it was intended to be for everyone, it was the members of the government who got rich and pampered off the backs of the workers. Marxism became a class system in which those who made and enforced the law lived one way and everyone else was subject to socialist ways. In this case, the TLC gave Bhairavi Desai and her Taxi Workers Alliance the charge of overseeing and administering this usurious and large fund. So who is getting rich and who is getting ripped off? Biju Mathew’s and Bhairavi Desai’s organization is hurting their drivers.
