The Age of Ideologies (2): Reflections on Karl Marx

I know, but...
- Alameda county was like 78-10
- Cuyahoga is surrounded by red counties, Alameda is surrounded by other super blue counties

I was reading a history of the Russian Revolution a couple months ago and I came across an amazing anecdote:

One of Lenin's underlings sent him a report about 10,000 political prisoners being held by the Marxists at a particular place. Lenin marked an X next to that number and returned the memo, maybe with some other comments, to the underling. A while later, Lenin asked for an update on the status of those prisoners. The underling replied that they had all been shot like Lenin wanted. It transpired, however, that Lenin had just been tallying up some numbers, and had marked that memo with an X to indicate that he had included the 10,000 in his sum.

Standard Soviet bad beat story.

I'm on my phone but someone has to embed the eichenwald tweets here.

Lol socialism.

It's kind of a shame that Osama Bin Laden didn't live to see his victory over Western Civilization.

BBC America is airing Star Trek reruns instead of the election results.

The awful candidate won!

The current episode features shipwercked humans hiding from a matriarchal government. Currently engaging my creativity to turn that into a substitute, haven't succeeded yet

Can someone cliffs the Eichenwald thing? I don't get what's going on. How did people find that he'd searched tentacle porn, or w/e?

Just found out tonight that I don't get BBC, but I feel less bad about it now.

I'm sure the Democrats will do an excellent job opposing something so easy to oppose. They can't possibly **** up a chance to paint the GOP as beholden to the Wall Street banks that wrecked the economy and made middle class people poor, right? Maybe a long winded speech is in order. Or perhaps offer a way to compromise so we only lose 80% of the regulations in Dodd-Frank instead of 90%. Whatever it takes, I know they're up to the task!

Years of bank bailouts are coming to an end so we can begin work on an improved and even larger bail out scheme for whatever malfeasance they cook up in the meantime.

We need a revolution.

It's the classic "take a picture of your browser and forget you have hentai tabs open" move.

Let he who has never masturbated to a cartoon cast the first stone.

Tonight I learned that raccoons have very large families and sometimes they go scavenging in packs.

They also have very coarse fur. My friends have a baby racoon

..... it's going to end badly
