I've read the book and it's pretty good, and it dispels a lot of bourgeosie views on work.

I find it odd they are making it a musical though :wacko:

Well, you have to try different methods to get the message across.

The musical bit is only a few minutes long, if that is what you mean.

No idea, but I'll try and find out.

But you are right, its really good.

So much good stuff on Utube.

A modern day Lenin might even say that the capitalists will allow us to post a video on Utube of us hanging them if they thought they could make a dollar out of it...

I got it from the blog address you can see in my signature; this guy is is always posting good stuff like this.

I'll see if he knows where the full video can be found.

:lol: yeah, I know...I've had that thought more than once. one of these days i might just have to break down and make a few videos of my own.

i've been reading lenin's blog on and off for months now...it's a must read and i recommend it as well for any leftists out there. one of the few blogs i take time out to read regularly.

thanks again, and i'll keep on the lookout as well for that movie.

Well, even though he is a friend of mine, I agree with you; his is among some of the best informed and interesting writing on the far left available in 'Blogosphere'.

Right I have e-mailed him, and I have also asked Barbara Ehrenreich about it.

Here is her home page:

Ok, Juice, he replied thus:


It's the movie 'The American Ruling Class' and it can be downloaded here:

That requires bit torrent technology. I don't know if there's a
complete version available elsewhere. I could upload a few clips on
Youtube if I get a spare hour or two.
