Chasing Karl

Wonderful system of government. Fake democracy, fake elections, fake political system surrounded by humbug and greedy lawyers. This allows business to get on with its tasks, buying candidates, a bribe here, a bribe there. An interview with Karl Marx.

Whoa, an interview with a long-dead dude! The power of the internet! Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

Don't forget the cheap dialogue and cheap scenery.

Very well-written article with great language! A little bit like Das Kapital, long but worth the time it takes to read it. And quite funny in places.

Wow! It's like a transcript from a seance, only we marxists don't believe in supernatural hocus pocus (more poppyseed for the masses). This is brilliant. Thanks monju_bosatsu...

The FFP may be misleading regarding Karl Marx's view point regarding America (err... I mean the author's impression of Karl Marx's view point): "Always liked the Yankees: no feudalism, no hallowed traditions. Of course, a lot of cant and religion. But somehow they come out of every capitalist crisis stronger and stronger... I moved the headquarters of the first international of workers to New York not just to control it better but also because America was becoming the workers' country par excellence. It is really the only working-class country in the world. Their games, their culture, their manners, their food; everything about Americans is working class. Of course, old Europe remains rather snobby about them, a consolation prize for lost supremacy. "

"Just go to the annual convention of the American Social Science History Association, which I attend regularly as a ghost." Pretty funny. Sometimes hard to elaqueate the elementary linguistics, but funny nonethess.
