Via Dancing with Dogs: Marxists' Apartment A Microcosm Of Why Marxism Doesn't Work. Pretty perceptive for a satirical site.


Speaking of the Dogs, they claim that wealth brings happiness. I'm not so sure. What it brings is the freedom not to worry about the struggle for daily life, but as humans, we tend to worry about something, so wealth means worrying about things other than one's daily struggle to keep alive. I'd think that after we've satisfied our basic physical needs, the worries that face us then would seem minor, but then we need to satisfy various psychosocial needs, and things that are in the grand scheme of things really very silly loom just as large as life and death matters, unless they pop up and put things in perspective for us.
