The Looter Look

“Lenin, who spent most of his life in the West and knew it much better than Russia, always said that the Western capitalists would do anything to supply the Soviet economy—”They will fight with each other to sell us goods cheaper and sell them quicker so that we’ll buy from one rather than from the other.”

And in the difficult moments of a party meeting in Moscow he said: “Comrades, don’t worry when things are hard with us. When things are difficult, we will give a rope to the bourgeoisie and the bourgeoisie will hang itself with this rope.”

Then, Karl Radek, a witty fellow you may have heard of, said: “Vladimir Ilyich, where are we going to get enough rope to hang the whole bourgeoisie?”

Lenin said immediately: “They’ll supply us with it.”

News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:

BEAVERTON, OR—Nike has released a commemorative shoe to honor those looting and burning down buildings across the country.

The Nike Loot Force One comes packed with features the company says will help people loot safely and efficiently. From cushioned soles to make sure you make it through shattered windows without getting your feet cut to a detachable swoosh that can be thrown at business owners or police officers like a Batarang, the shoe is the ideal footwear for those looking to incite violent riots and also coincidentally get some free stuff.

“We stand in solidarity with those looting stores and getting free stuff to show how much they care about justice,” said a Nike representative. “To that end, we are releasing this $250 pair of shoes some Chinese lady made for 30 cents.”

Go here to read the rest.  I suspect Bee that you are just barely ahead of the game here, and that ad campaigns to appeal to the “rioter demographic” are even now on the drawing board of major ad firms even now.  The establishment is definitely in favor of the riots:

Lenin had it right. Money rules Capitalism. God and Country is useful propaganda to help control the masses. Capitalism must be controlled or it will control and sell us out to the highest bidder.

This is the unfortunate truth in today’s America. Anti-trust laws must be vigorously enforced. But now it may be too late since capitalists have largely sold us out to China.
