This Present Absurd Order
CHE: “HOW LONG THIS PRESENT ORDER, based on the absurd idea of caste, will last is not within my means to answer, but it’s time that those who govern spent less time publicizing their own virtues and more money … funding socially useful works.”
WITHOUT GETTING INTO ALL KINDS OF ARGUMENTS about how much he represented any social justice movement and how much he represented not much more than a bloodthirsty guerrero (or if you do, you are going to be arguing alone but by all means, enjoy yourself as long as you center the thesis that inspired this post) I really dig a few quotes from Señor Guevara lately in light of this media-driven UpperCrustian movement to convince us how terrible it is to tax those earning and squirreling away vastly disproportionate sums of money in order to save the whole ship from capsizing.
“How long this present order, based on the absurd idea of caste, will last is not within my means to answer, but it’s time that those who govern spent less time publicizing their own virtues and more money, much more money, funding socially useful works.”
