How tasty of a worm we talkin'? bird-screm1

Marx would never be a gusano, this hypothetical is contradictory

No, worms cannot operate a pen

Marx would never be a gusano, how dare you?

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Flat out no, are you serious?

I’d tell people I’m a Marxist and what would they say, that I take my political opinions from a fucking worm? Any semblance of credibility I have would be gone.

People would be like, ‘You think capitalism makes no sense because your little worm told you’ and everyone would laugh. Shit, I’d question everything, whether dialectical materialism is even valid…BECAUSE IT WAS PROPOSED BY A WORM

I don't know about a worm, but I think we would all be safer if Marx were a bear.

Bless the maker and his water.

Yes, if he was like one of the worms from the hit Worms video game franchise and dropped a Concrete Donkey on capitalism.

Unfortunately, this would have to replace the Internationale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0RlZsE3o6E

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

YES

The Worm loves us. It will always love us, and thus it always has. It winds around the hot heart of our home star. It winds around every infinitesimal loop of genetic information. It provokes a shuddering series of cataclysms in the planetary crust of our home, but when our star grows cold, that cataclysm will warm us. We understand so much more. We will always be what we were going to be, wound tight in the love of the Worm.

WHAT WAS SHALL BE WHAT SHALL BE WAS

If he were a worm, he'd be a silk worm, as silk has similar usage to linen

[–] jacab@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

0.02 yard of silk = 1 worm coat

How would Marx write Capital if he was a worm?

With the help of his wife, Worm Jenny

Cover himself in ink and crawl along the page in cursive

[–] GrosMichel@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

It would make me reconsider dialectical materialism.

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I would be a marxist even if the man himself was a poor fuck with warts on his cock
