    "Grandpa when you were young, there was these capitalists who owned everything and made all the rules and had a bazillion soldiers. How did they lose?"

    "You see one day somebody talked about Lenin at a furry convention and then six people working at AWS turned of the internet and said they wouldn't turn it on again until full global communism had been achieved. It was the toughest two weeks of my life"

      "then everyone went outside"

      Honestly, the way Marx describes the power of the proletariat makes me so fucking pissed that Raynd ruined the phrase "Atlas shrugged" because he constantly shows that through division of labor and social production the global proletariat literally is Atlas and any small movement we make as one shakes the very bedrock of outdated bourgeois society.
