Amazing new Cure Discovered for Trotskyism

Trotsky | 05.05.2003 08:48

It is not just a new pill! Not even a
LOBOTOMY!

It is called a JOB!

Yes, now those infantile paper-selling revolutionaries with their well-rehearsed working-calss accents can turn down their megaphones and stop munching on the pizzas. They can get a job to see what REAL workers go through and how they live. And they can discover what REAL workers would like to do with these political masturbators for revolution!

So kick a Trotskyite out of the street. Toss him down the steps. Make him clean out a dustbin or two before he himself goes into the dustbin of history!

But Trotsky had a job

05.05.2003 09:04

And it should be a real job, should it? Like working for a major corporation. Because if you ain't got a real job, you have no right to speak and say corporations are bad, which of course you are forbidden to do by your employment contract. And if you quit and go out on the streets and then say it's bad, you're just a loser.

Only listen to experts.

People who make money on the stock market are the only ones who know enough to decide whether the system is fair. Generals are the only people who can judge the cost and value of war. Newspaper proprietors will tell us how to safeguard freedom of the press. Music executives, the higher paid the better, are best qualified to explain how important tight copyrights are to the development of music. The president knows and will do what's best for the country.

And people who have safe and secure jobs obviously know all about how easy it is to get a job when you do not have one.

Experts indeed.

excellent logic

05.05.2003 10:41

Your logic seems to go as follows.

We're criticising trotskyists

Therefore we're not criticising the BNP enough

Therefore we're closet fascists!

Hehehe, incredible :P

'realists' job

05.05.2003 11:08

Realists job is too post confusing and contradictory opinions in an attempt to brush over issues and to add a paradoxical response to infomation.
The original article, if not deeply ironic, is indicative of a degenerate mental state called stupidity.
Beware this state is infectious. Anyone who thinks they may have been in contact with this stupid person, must seek professional help (usually found at either your library or internet terminal).

this is tiresome

this kind of plebian "worms eye" sentiment was around in marx's day too, and almost always ends up on the reactionary side of things. anyway, does our author know anything about trotsky ? or socialism ? probably not, and who decides what a proper job is anyway ?
i recall some idiot levelling a similar complaint against shakespeare: "all right for him, being rich. why didnt he get a job in a factory like everyone else has to ? " which is hilarious to analyse: ( shakespeare was not "rich", here obviously being confused with the modern elite litterati of the south bank. there werent any factories to speak of in 1600, and anyway, as a playwright, he didnt "have" to get a "proper" job at all. i sense envy abvove all.
