[1] To await the pleasure of the capitalist [2] beast (hung on a wall, no less!) to be taken down and passed around, exploited and then discarded; <b>THIS</b> is a metaphor of individual alienation in this obscurantist mass production capitalist world.<br /><br />[1] Some of these same obscurantist capitalists will argue a marginal decrease in value with each unit consumed. As if this exonerates them of the charge. To suffer a decrease in value through no fault of your own whilst awaiting the pleasure of the capitalist exploiter is simply another economic crime to be brought to the indictment!<br /><br />[2] As we all know, the word "capital" comes from the Latin "<i>caput</i>" meaning "head." Beer has a "head" which appeals to the "tastes" of the classist abusers of the working class, who, through psychological transference (see Stockholm Syndrome), imbibe the beverage that is just another symbol of their class oppressors!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
