Meaningless waffle.

Hardly industrial.

Thats not capital.

Thats not capital, its just a resource.

Industry isnt industrial.

Thats not capital, thats just what went into what was produced.

Because there is no 'capital'

And hardly any other society is. And those that are, can have queens instead.

Mindlessly superficial. There are plenty of kings that never had a harem.

Nope.

How odd that capitalism worked fine when run by men.

Quite a few of which didnt bother with mistresses.

Corse nothing like that ever happened pre communism, eh ?

And quite a few dont bother, like Henry Ford, Lincoln, Washington, Edison, Einstein etc.

Chaz Darwin has a hilarious bit in his diary where he lists
the advantages and disadvantages of a dog and a wife.

Have fun explaining Maggie Thatcher and Golda Meir.

Fat lot of good that does them. Have fun listing even a single one

Like hell it did. You still need the mentality behind it.

How odd that there are fuck all with any real power.

They never do. Hitlary has been flushed down the tubes of history where she belongs.

They dont have any of those.

And they hardly ever manage much at all. Maggie is now a drunk in the gutter.
