Another Post About Marx

Seriously, everyone is doing a post that includes Marx somehow. It's like we're reading him or something...*cough*... Moving on.

As quite a few people have said Marx's ideas are understandable when you look at society how it was back then. Things were horrible: insane work hours, dangerous and unhealthy conditions, little pay, and no respect. It makes one wonder why there wasn't a revolt like Marx thought there should be? Of course there was miniature revolts in the form of Unions, but why not the society overturning one?

Personally, I blame the internet or, more specifically, lack of. Sure there were many other factors, but think about if we lived in the conditions back then yet still had the internet. People would have a much easier time spreading the word and organizing the revolt. (Ignoring the fact that working so long and being paid so poorly would make having internet unlikely.)

On the final note, please don't take this post too seriously. I'm not entirely lucid right now. Viva Revolution!
