= Pyramid of the Capitalist System

[John Lenin]

In your view is this accurate?

If not, what adjustments would you make?

Thoughts? Critiques?

The fact that it... Is about Tsarist Russia, and does not apply to probably most of the world, certainly in modern times?

Mayvbe nowadays the clerical role is taken over by the media (in the first world) and the monarch are the politicians. But i guess generally speaking it's right. Though obviously it's a simplified version of class-relations.

The guy on the top left looks like Hugo Chavez.

Should there be a distinction between first-world semi-placated workers and third-world workers? Maybe not, I dunno.

The one below always strikes me as accurate. There are so many small details included into each character. For example, on the left one of the soldiers is showing doubt.

That's all good and everything, but wouldn't all of this count as agitation, not theory?

I know exactly how to fix it. :) Get the Proletarians off the bottom! Poor things have to hold up all that weight!

I think the pyramid still pertains to modern life. Although, i would rather see the rich above the military, since the military is closer to the proletariat than the rich.

[Picky Bugger]

Really... even though the army is made up mostly of the proletariat I would say that in truth it predominately fights for the the interests of the middle classes/ rich.

You have to remember that this pyramid is outdated though. Back in those days the military was under the service of the monarchy and therefore had to be close to them.

Ah, right. I had only seen Russia's so far, but that one didn't have the 'Capitalism' thing on top that I just noticed.
