What Is Human Becomes Animal
It is true that labor produces for the rich wonderful things—but for the worker it produces privation. It produces palaces—but for the worker, hovels. It produces beauty—but for the worker, deformity. It replaces labor by machines—but some of the workers it throws back to a barbarous type of labor, and the other workers it turns into machines. It produces intelligence—but for the worker idiocy, cretinism.
The direct relationship of labor to its produce is the relationship of the worker to the objects of his production. The relationship of the man of means to the objects of production and to production itself is only a consequence of this first relationship—and confirms it.
When we ask, then, what is the essential relationship of labor, we are asking about the relationship of the worker to production.As a result, therefore, man (the worker) no longer feels himself to be freely active in any but his animal functions—eating, drinking, procreating, or at most in his dwelling and in dressing-up, etc. And in his human functions he no longer feels himself to be anything but an animal. What is animal becomes human and what is human becomes animal.
-Karl Marx
Enjoy your suppressed wages as your ask yourself, "What have I done to increase shareholder value today?"
Never walk on all fours.

Up The Workers. :bowler:
How horrible, to imply that all Languishites derive their sustenance from labour and not capital.

May Day bank holiday
Most countries in Europe do not have a concept of "bank holidays" the way the UK has. The holiday falls on the date it is supposed to fall - it doesn't mean you get the nearest Monday off. :rolleyes:
Given that most holidays are religious anyway, it makes sense that you get the day off when the actual holiday happens - only for a politically correct secular dystopia like the UK it's just a day off. :P

It is Jos. If it isn't like what he had as a kid, it is wrong.
What exactly happened to Marty? Was he replaced by Mirror Universe Marty?
This is like that Harry Potter movie with the dude keeping the weird one eyed guy in a box.

If someone spend too much time gazing at a mirror, how do they end up telling the reflection from themselves?
Anyway I know that's rubbish, but I tried to make the analogy as Martyesque as possible. :P
Fuck the unions. Bunch of wankers.

Something to keep in mind next time you visit Breitbart, Raz.
I logged in last night to get some extra work done, just to mark the day. Screw you, commies.

I don't think any Commies care whether a comfortably middle class right wing American middle manager does a bit of Sunday work on May 1st :(
Mayday? as in a radio distress signal?

Wage slave finds happiness in slavery, film at 11.
See, there's one commie taking umbrage.

I guess I realised it's only a matter of time before the progressive left abandons white gay men so I'd rather jump ship on my own terms than be thrown overboard. :P

You know the reason they tolerate Muslims is the same reason they tolerate gay people right? They value toleration. Siding with people who are different then you and view toleration is a weakness will likely end badly. To them, you are just a filthy Polish catamite.

Slavery is a certainty. You can find happiness in it. Or not. Won't change anything. So I suggest that we all find happiness in it :contract:

Libertarians and Wall Street types tend not to give a fuck.
Most Alt-right people don't give a fuck either. And from what I have seen even Christian conservatives these days prefer just to be left alone.
Besides, why should I be defined solely by my sexuality, Raz?

Are you trying to remind us that you are in fact certifiably insane? No need, we remember.
You are a typical regressive, Raz. You spout a learned formula and when someone just counteracts to that with facts, you turn to derisiveness and rudeness, because you have no counterarguments.
I'm not sure what a "regressive" is, but he certainly has odd ideas about what libertarians are. Some guy who worked for Ron Paul wrote a racist article 40 years ago so all libertarians are racist; this is probably the same kind of rationale for how he determined they're all homophobes.

Regressive is the term used by Bill Maher and the likes for liberal "progressives" who in the name of political correctness end up defending rather nasty ideas and ideologies.
