"..Which Perpetuates the Economic and Social Differences In Our Society..."

Bonsoir my lovelies!! It's so good to be back in the blogging world and to see your shining.. er.. words.

anyways:

The Word of the Day, children, is Marx. Karl Marx. And Karl Marx's labour movement.

I now direct you to this link, of which most of you will find wildly appropriate and tastefully hilarious.

Seems Dennis the peasant and Marx kind of had the same ideas.. perhaps Dennis was the forerunner of Marxist theory even? An anarcho-syndicast is someone who wants to abolish "wage-slavery" among other pleasant things, which is something that Marx took a huge stance on.

Now, I'm pretty sure the Python men really weren't thinking about Marx in the 70's when they created this but when it comes down to it, the boys nailed it on the head. "Workers of the world, unite" as the Manifesto says, and so Dennis says that supreme executive power is derived by a mandate from the masses. The proles. Working class. Meaning not the King [sorry Arthur] and not the bourgeois of Marx's time.

The peasants pretty much ruled their own through organization and Marx wanted society to slowly assimilate into a wage-slavery free society run by the workers.

Either way, Monty Python has suddenly been turned into an educational lesson on political science. I do so love being an Honors kid!


until laters, children!
