Death to the Bourgeoisie!
by max blunt
How do you feel towards those who want to help you? Who care for your well-being? Who sacrifice themselves for you benefit? Those good liberals and conservatives who do charity work for the poor and under-privileged. Bake a cake for the destitute. Send a Christmas present to the suffering children of Iraq. You know the type. Patronising, condescending wimps who salve their consciences by praying to God and giving to charity. These are the people I hate most. The privileged kill with their kindness. This is why the bourgeoisie are still the ruling class. Karl Marx predicted the inevitable implosion of capitalism and theorized that a much more humane, egalitarian, and democratic system would rise in its place.
It is little wonder that the bourgeoisie in the United States have striven so tenaciously to inculcate the unwashed masses to despise, fear, and ridicule socialism, communism, and nearly all aspects of Marxist thought. Sound bites, emotionally evocative images, ahistorical presentations, fear mongering, jingoism, advertising, and numerous temptations of instant gratification comprise a vast array of highly refined and insidious propaganda that perpetually hammers our minds to create a potent and effective false consciousness, and an irrational fear of anything but capitalism.
