    we haz got to get fucked up on the grog, and then revolt...if the lessons of the Paris Commune has taught as such, the working class cannot lay hold of the ready made bourgeoisie alcohol, they must smash it, and get pissed on cheap methylated spirits.

    holler,

    Very interesting analysis... A bit oversimplified in certain ways and I think he could have definitely gone further into it, but his take on American capitalism is overall very well thought out. His idea of socialism is a little strange, however... Worker-run corporations competing with each other would soon revert right back to executive-led corporations. Perhaps he was just using that as an analogy but it could have been clearer.
    Siento que llegó nuestra hora, esta es nuestra revolución
    Somos una luz cegadora, fuerte, mas brillante que el sol
    Porque siento que este es el momento
    De olvidar lo que nos separó y pensar en lo que nos une!
