Son, I did read the Communist Manifesto...once...about 5 years ago.

Old sponge, that's just a twenty-something page pamphlet; it's well
under ten thousand words. It was certainly an influential document in
the 19th century; however, any true socialist has a copy in his or her
shirt pocket. And you don't just *read* that... "five years ago"; you
make love to it! You memorize it and practice quoting by shouting it
at the pigs as you mount the barricade in the haze of tear gas!

SHOUTING
"LET THE RULING CLASSES TREMBLE AT THE COMMUNISTIC REVOLUTION! The
proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. WE HAVE A WORLD TO
WIN!!!" you might shout... after that, you can all meet over at
Starbucks in the mall for a latte.

Now, if you really want to showcase your reading skills, try: *Das
Kapital, Kritik der politischen Ökonomie*, also by Marx. I had to
wade through that in grad school at the University of Texas back in
the '70s... well, a couple hundred pages of it, anyway; it was
excruciating! I wouldn't even wish that on *you*, Vinnie. I'd sooner
be waterboarded... I guess. I'd have to try the latter briefly to
make an intelligent comparison; however, it sounds a lot like reading
Marx to me.

Do you want some Bill Bragg with that?

Isn't reading "Das Kapital" a prerequisite for application for entrance
at Codine University? I thought I saw that in the application packet I
got from Codine U when I opened read the prerequisite brochure in the
packet.
