Q. Some theorists argue that the growing inequality in some countries could lead to emergence of charismatic leaders and revolutions. Do you think this could happen?

A. It seems plausible to say that because it has the case. As Marx's socialism emerges from the anger stemming from the differences between the ruling and opposition parties, people may think it is right to create a revolution along with a charismatic leader rather than unequal present. However, I think it seems unlikely that the same situation will recur once again, as a result of repeated failures.
