Marxist theory is why we are inexplicably hearing about the Koch brothers. There has to be a capitalist in the struggle. The Koch brothers have NOTHING to do with the situation in Madison, but for the simplistic Marxist theory to work, there has to be some sort of capitalist oppressor working against the people. The fact that the Union is the true fatcat capitalist bad guy in the Wisconsin situation does not fit the Marxist narrative, so they had to invent an evil bogeyman. The truly oppressed in Wisconsin is the non- citizen.
