These days lefties, socialists and pinkos are all screaming about the "evil, greedy businessmen." Back during the communist revolution in Russia, they screamed of "greedy capitalists" and the bourgeoise. Fast forward to today and you'll see something interesting...they're ONE AND THE SAME! Just what does the modern bourgeoise look like? Read today's "Geeks On Caffeine" cartoon and see for yourself! NOTE: The author of this comic requests that you visit his web site and please refrain from copying the cartoon within this thread. Thank you very much!
Are they really protesting against capitalists and capitalism?
Or are they protesting against corruption in goverment, wasteful and corrupt government spending, market manipulation and the failure of government to prevent and to prosecute corruption in the market.
That’s the problem I have with the liberal form of protest, it’s incoherent.
I’m hardly the biggest fan of globalism but you’ll never catch me screaming that we need to ban money.
