The Vindication of Vlad The Impaler
Vlad can't really be such a bad guy since he is just an administrator who has no imperial design on neighboring principalities. Vlad represents himself as the established government standard to the subjects under his reign. The real issue between capitalism and communism is that communism is defensive about the provenance of Vlad The Impaler. Capitalism isn't Vlad The Impaler. Capitalism says that the elite ruling class doesn't need to have a clear conscience if the working class is satisfied with flattery and the relaxation of standards. Communism applies itself to standards and doesn't assume that the working class is deluded by flattery. Capitalism says standards only get in the way of winning against communism and everyone agrees that it is true. In truth, communism is based on the ideal of Vlad The Impaler. If winning is all that matters to capitalism then at least admitting the truth gives communism a reason to feel superior. Vlad The Impaler is to me, invisible. His presence in known but what is not known is what he wants me to believe is true. Well, in the final analysis, Vlad The Impaler shouldn't be invisible. Vlad The Impaler is on one side or the other and it seems to me that he is on the side of standards which communism adheres to... Vlad isn't such a bad guy from the perspective of his boss... It can't be that he is a bad guy just because the people under his reign don't like him. The rich getting richer at a faster rate and the poor getting poorer at a faster rate is the basis for believing that a real genius invented the web.
