Comfort is capitolism, Pain is love, Repression is order!

Those of us who find ourselves conscious of the various stirrings of the political left, have often heard the cry for the average consumer to cast off the oppressive chains of our corporate overlords and refrain from purchasing ANYTHING for even just one day; these initiatives meeting with varying degrees of success. I propose, a more devious and ultimately far more destructive plan. The corporate world finds itself at the rather tentitive end of a long consumer pipeline. Their task is essentially to cater to our, that is, the consumers every want and need; so what is truly needed to topple the evil empire is to falsify, en mass, a consumer trend. This would result in the corporate world reacting by sinking millions and possibly billions of dollars into research, development, production, distribution and advertising into a product with no actual consumer appeal. This bypasses any actual sacrifice or restraint on behalf of the consumer, as does the former 'buy nothing' plans, since, going 24 hours without purchasing anything seems to be so terribly repugnant to the vast majority of the population. As well, this wouldn't seem to be such a terribly difficult plan to inplement, since the advertisers have been successfully telling the comsumer what they want for years, it shouldn't be all that difficult to teach the consumer to give false reports on what they truly do want, allowing them to hit back for themselves.
For too long have we allowed the multi-national, Billion dollar corporation to create a new bourgoise capitolist regime, with anti socialist tendencies! Exploiting the worker; selling, at inflated prices valueless products bent on worldwide complacency and mindless, reckless consumerism for their own gain, all the while devaluing the economy, and lowerign the average wage of the worker. The time has come for action. The time has come for the time of talk to end, and the time of action to approach!
LONG LIVE THE PEOPLES REVOLUTION!

(The mission of this article was multi-faceted, while I do believe that corporation are, to a certain extent abusing the common person, I do not necessarily belive that communist revolutions are the answer, this blog will not be held responsible for any marxist revolutions worldwide, except maybe in djiboudi, and then only because of their kick ass name.
