    So if I'm understanding you, you believe these people to be naturally inferior & if inferior they then should learn to be obscure, Right?

    Hmmm, but which one? All of them want something different, by their own admission.

    I think the police should try inner city riot tactics to disperse these crowds..........

    Try throwing a job application down in the middle of the crowd.......problem solved. :thumbs:

    I tried reading it once. It made nothing clear in my feeble mind :). I could not stay awake. Heavy stuff, congrats on grasping it.

    Let me make it very simple for you...

    1. Leaders control the "poor people," using and inciting them to revolt against the "rich people."

    2. Leaders pretend to not exist, so as to not be revolted against themselves.

    3. The Leaders prove that they don't exist by using a system of dialectic maneuvers, take two steps forward and one step back, then blame everything on the rich to assist the revolt. Make sure that the "poor people" think this is all their idea.

    4. Promise utopia (in whatever guise the "poor people" will accept, whether intellectual, physical, monetary, sexual, etc., so they get on board with the program.

    5. Step back and watch it happen... Then reap the harvest for personal gain while constantly misdirecting inquiries that seem to be concerned with how it is that the leaders have everything good while everyone else has to share what is left.

    Thank you. I do understand the concepts, I'm just not smart enough to get through reading the book itself. Terribly boring reading, a lot like Mein Kampf.

    To be honest I had never seen those particular aspects spelled out that way. I have the seen the ten demands and had always thought that it was more of a worker's manifesto advocating the destruction of private enterprise. Thanks for that rendering.

    You are supposed to see it as a worker's manifesto... That is the irony of Marxism. But, there were/are ALWAYS leaders guiding those workers into correct thinking. Marx himself was antithetical to his own system, as were most of the other early adopters, most of whom quickly realized just how powerful a tool the philosophy was for ultimate control of all people and all wealth.

    I think you are totally misreading me. All I am saying is that I was never able to read through the entire book and I am glad for those who did.

    Under the new military appropriations bill the army can make the OWS protestors disappear and then most of you can relax.
