This Sunday was the Walk for Capitalism, a mass protest in defense of the global capitalist economic system
against the dreadlocked menace who wish to rob us of our Big Macs and Nikes and
herd us into Soviet-style collective farms. Well, not exactly a mass protest;
in Auckland, only 25 people showed up. The protesters recited quotes from Ayn Rand and
"tied blue ribbons to Starbucks cafes as a gesture of thanks"; thanks for what,
for the mediocre coffee?
A <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/04/nyregion/04BIG.html">column in today's New York Times</a> covered
the NYC version of the march. Sixty people
showed up. Six of them, the largest
contingent there, were lefties from Vassar
who came to infiltrate the march, carrying
signs like "Profits Before People". The
true Randroids there, oblivious as always
to sarcasm, didn't realize they'd been
infiltrated.
