"the things capitalism cause: wars, racism, exploitation, sexism and homophobia"

If not for public subsidy - he'd starve.

Are you sure that's not Neil from the Young Ones? Dead ringer, though he's aged well.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of homophobia, should we edify this self-described 'Marxist horror writer' than ol' Karl and his mate Freidrich Engels described homosexuality as an 'abomination'?
