The Crimes of Capitalism

In the USA an educated man can strut proudly and proclaim
the maxims of marketing
and think thereby
that he shows his worth;
but marketing is bullshit.
It pretends to reveal some deep truths about humanity,
but instead has all the power of a distorting glass that cuts the light
and twists shapes into grotesque mockeries of original perfections.

The fact that such rubbish is given any place at all in universities
 is evidence of a dismally low level of actual culture.

Overheard:
"And they have a good business school."
---Said by a young man....to  a friend, as if boasting....
But he is about to ruin his life,
to waste his life,
and damage the lives of others;
all perfectly legal,
--capitalistically legally.

The crimes of capitalism include the personal possession of paintings
and things of beauty
by individuals;
----things which are by natural right the birthright and possession of all human beings;
never mind the question how they got their wealth
---these fools who clutch at beauty they cannot create---
They exchange their wealth for things at auctions,
auctions which should never happen.

What kind of fool imagines that he can possess beauty?

What narrowness of intellect!
What brazen idolatry!
Oh! Look at me!  On MY wall hangs this or that beautiful thing which I did not and never could create!
But I could buy it.

The man has evidently got a screw loose.

A perfect capitalist fool!
