It’s not often that a single cartoon sums up, not only the whole current situation, but even its whole history. This, from South African newspaper Mail & Guardian Online’s cartoonist Zapiro:
is an idiot.
Anyone who trusts them
is a fool.
Jaunary 20, 2009 ... it's up to us to break the tape
not uncritical,
and not chivalrous
If you like standardized tests, you're anti-reform.
Crowds are knowledgeable...
theory is wise.

PEOPLE'S WEALTH
- All large-scale
productive
resources
belong
inalienably
to all the
people. - That
ownership
can be
exercised
only through
democracy. - The revolution
is yet to come.
WHAT I REALLY BELIEVE DEPT.
If you want a society run by working people, achieve democracy first.
Then, socialize the wealth...not the labor pool.
The Soviet Union RAN the working class -- it was not run by them!
This was true from the first year the Bolsheviks were in power.
Those sorts of regimes have no relationship to what I consider socialism.
On the other hand, if you just want a nice democracy and none of that nasty socialism, just realize that as long as the capitalists call the shots, democracy will always come second.
"Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man"
"From each according to his abilities,
to each according to his needs."
Marxist-Lennonism...there's just nothing like it.
Unless, of course, you prefer to submit yourself to the tender mercies of
The Ruling Class

The cartoon is obviously the work of Zapiro, a man badly lacking in knowledge and understanding. He is more to be pitied than condemned. Why? Because in producing cartoon like this, it is like he were standing on the roof tops and shouting to the world how stupid he is. And a man blind to his own stupidity is worse than a fool.
Yes, it is Zapiro. You can say all you want about stupidity and lack of knowledge and understanding. Everything in this cartoon is true and documented many times over. If you had a valid point to make, you would make a specific criticism instead of blanket dismissals.
