"In 1770, a writer envisioned a new plan for making the poor productive: The House of Terror, in which the inhabitants would be obliged to work for 14 hours a day and controlled by keeping them on a starvation diet. His idea was not that far ahead of its time; a generation later, the House of Terror was simply called a factory. Andrew Ure, one of the greatest proponents of Industry, wrote in 1835: 'If science was put to the service of capital, the recalcitrant worker's docility would be assured.'"

Well, good news is I have a VoIP box I brought with me to China so I can make and receive calls at the same rate with the same number as back home.

There is a supermarket chain called Vanguard in China, and one is located literally across the street from the apartment building I’m staying in.
How come I get the feeling that all the ~*~*super popular*~*~ Leninists would shop there exclusively (for much the same reason they follow Denny’s)?

These are our demands
Get on the floor & put up your hands
We'll ball-gag your mouth
Turn the safety off
Squeeze the trigger & rock

marlkarx:

"Poverty is human nature" ignores how the vast majority of human existence was spent in egalitarian bands rather than highly stratified class societies.

If there's a human nature, poverty is not a part of it.
