But Confucius has answered them with the final whistle, it’s all over. Germany, having trounced England’s famous midfield trio of Bentham, Locke and Hobbes in the semi-final, have been beaten by the odd goal.
Maybe my favorite Monty Python sketch ever. And Marx is claiming it was offside.
I like it because Marx’s argument is clearly rooted in the actually material conditions of the game.
I noticed that too.
good use of the rule of three

“Peoples of the Americas are rising once again, saying no to imperialism, saying no to fascism, saying no to intervention — and saying no to death.” - Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela for 14 years (July 28, 1954 - March 5, 2013)

Quote reblogged from False Sense of SubstanceThe results of the Chavez government’s economic policies have been a 50% drop in the poverty rate, from 49% of the households in early 1998 to 24% in late 2009. Similarly, the extreme poverty rate dropped more than two-thirds, from 21% of households in 1998 to 6% in late 2009. While most of this drop in poverty is attributable to social policies that benefit the poor, much of it is also traceable to a dramatic drop in unemployment, which fell by nearly half, from 14.5% in early 1999 to around 7% in late 2010. Some countries that pursue neo-liberal economic policies have also achieved lower poverty rates, but usually at the expense of greater inequality. In Venezuela, though, inequality, as measured by the “Gini coefficient,” dropped from 0.49 in 1998 to 0.39 in 2010, one of the lowest levels in Latin America.

Lisbon, Portugal: More than 500,000 people flooded the streets demanding an end to the austerity regime imposed by the European Union and imperialist banks, March 2, 2013. People in the crowd sang ‘Grandola,’ a protest song from the 1974 ‘Carnation Revolution’ that ousted the dictatorship established by Antonio Salazar, and brought an end to military rule in the country.

“Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.”
