Re: [Marxism] Stop Giving America a Bad Rap (Capitalism Magazine)

One of the
group's most infamous songs, "(Expletive) On Your Grave," includes a
scene in which Riley tours Arlington National Cemetery and stops to
urinate on George Washington's burial ground. Instead of being grateful
for a country that allows him to peddle such garbage for profit, Riley
boils with hypocritical resentment. The American flag, he says,
"symbolizes oppression, exploitation, racism, slavery and murder."

How big of an asshole do you have to be to lecture black people on how
they should feel greatful to George Washington, on how its
"hypocritical" to be resentful? Capitalism magazine is a great source of
the real views of the ruling class in candid detail. I personally
think it should be read in every classroom.
