Goat, if you haven't noticed, Marx's theories have failed completely. The only countries that still proclaim to follow them are dictatorships - not to
mention what happened in the Soviet Union where the "dictatorship of the proletariat" was a direct descendant of those same ideas. So, what does it
say about you when you declare yourself to have "Marxist tendencies"? Hmmmm?

Coming from a real liberal, I agree---Stalin had far more in common with the old tzars than with Marx. Lenin was even moving toward more capitalism,
but then he started suffering from a strokes---he died probably too soon. Woodrow Wilson also suffered from strokes that affected his acts.
Marx was an interesting character---had some good ideas, IMHO, but not very workable ideas. The real shame, IMHO, is that Marxism became associated
with all Socialism --they are as different as day and night.
OH well, this belongs now in Off topic, and the simple sharing of some favorite pictures does not deserve, IMHO, or I believe, does not deserve the
silly designations.

Okay then...
...this will have to be my favorite 'worker photo' from now on. This poor idiot was practically worked to death.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Senior Candelario Casa Salas
Senior Salas was the General Contractor on this particular commercial job and a few of the homes built on my street.
On my daily walk into town, I noticed he was the only one working that day. I yelled up to him, “where are your workers”? He embarrassingly said,
“they all had too much fun at the fiesta last night”.
My heart went out to him. My Father was a General Contractor. I can remember early morning calls to his people, trying to get them to come to work
and finish a job. After futile attempts, he would have resolve and go change into his overalls.
I can honestly say, there was not one beam erected or nail struck on my home without me being appreciative for the trades. Now, there is shoddy and
sloppy, OK, and so-so. Then, there are the masters. They eyeball without using a level and take great pride in their craft. Today, I still think
I’m not worthy of fetching a hammer, brush, or trowel for them.
