There are no poor people who are Socialists

She's a model.


She does not have to hold clearly thought-out positions until her legs and money go...
 
Socialism is the fig-leaf for elite guilt. No real socialist wants to part with a dime for more taxes, what she prefers is for the government to shake-down her daddys competitors.

I dated girls like that. They were socialists, daddy owned a Cadillac dealership, a we went to the drive-in in one of his cars.

My history classes said he was upper middle class.

It's relative, I guess.

He was born so. But philosophers don't make a lot of money -- Marx (and his family) spent most of his adult life at the edge of starvation and financially dependent on his rich friend Engels.

Heh, he pawned the family silver to get by.
 
My new book is almost out, I call it Les Assholes. Its about a welfare brat who goes to prison for stealing bling to feed his poor mothers need; after he's released he steals silver from a priest, and uses the money to launch his political career in the Democrat Party.
 
It is really no new insight -- it often has been remarked on, by socialists, such as H.G. Wells -- that socialist thought and activism have always been the work, primarily, of men who were not workers. Essentially, the work of comfortable gentry and comfortable bourgeoisie looking around them and asking, "Why can't everybody live as well as I do?" How else could it be? Most actual proles have insufficient free time and insufficient education for all that.

Engels' father owned a shitload of Lancashire textile mills and kept Marx in food and writing materials.

Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier makes that point better than anything else I've ever read.

Do you believe in Socialism?

Only a fool or corrupt soul can find value in the fantasy of "Socialism"
