Well, that would explain professional wrestling, wouldn't it?

Hmmmm... marginalised, impoverished people exploited by lunatics, you say? Yes... just like St. Petersburg in 1917, eh Jag? Or China during the Great Leap Forward? Or Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge? I'm sorry to have to use such old examples, but the "inevitable victory of the historical dialectic" got the shit kicked out of it by "decadent bourgeois capitalism" a while back, so I had to reach back several decades to find what I was looking for. (Odd that no more recent examples of the forward march of Socialism are available, don't you think?)

Yes, yes... many interesting parallels between the tactics employed by the Taliban and those employed by the "progressive" forces of international Socialism... let's discuss them in another thread sometime?
