Reply #76: Exactly true.

I, back then a really really naive communist sympathizer, was railing against capitalism during the mid 90s - within the great economic boom. I had little understanding of Marxism but had read much dystopian literature that resonated with me (all I needed to see a dim light somewhere in my mind): The Iron Heel; Brave New World; We; Looking Backward; and 1984.

According to Marx, we have been tricked because they've dressed our chains with roses.

But they're rotting, mainly cause the bastards are too cheap to buy more; that and they now just depend on our dependence (hows that for fucking irony?).

Edit: I should say that "Looking Backward" by Bellamy is not dystopian, but utopian literature. But it is essentially supporting communism; I included it therefore, so 'f' off ;)

On double-plus good edit: the 'f' is not meant for anyone in particular beside those d-bags that nitpick over posts and their holy perfection.
