		<title>Comment on Why the left is doomed to fail. by the bandage</title>

		<description>I heard that the same professor went on to fail an entire generation of classes after modeling his class after the right wing capitalist system.

Firstly, the capitalist professor wouldn&#039;t even give his students any grades. He would distribute the absolute bare minimum required by law, and keep all the good grades for himself in a locked box. Because dammit, he worked hard to become a &#039;grade creator&#039;, and so he is entitled to them.

Next, our capitalist professor would decide that he can get even more grades by going in with other professors across the country to invest in securities, sub prime mortgages, foreign grade exchange, and the stock market.

Now because that is all intangible nonsense, the grades will inevitably be lost into the ether through a series of bad investments, causing our professor and all his colleagues to have to borrow millions of grades from chinese schools to keep their way of life going. Except the borrowed grades are all F&#039;s, D&#039;s and C-&#039;s


So the students get even less grades for the work they put in, eventually having to work to a superhuman standard just to get awarded a C-

Then, when the students get fed up and start complaining, the university staff just tell them that there is no such thing as a free meal, and that they just have to work harder. 

so every student fails. In the entire country. Because capitalism is broken.

Important lessons here:

-A right wing view ultimately serves only youself and leaves no room for giving a sh*t about the human race as a whole.  
-You must legislate human greed, because those right wing people will happily ruin the lives of every other person on this earth if they think they can get slightly richer doing so.
-A capitalist system rewards the greediest few people who best fit the right wing archetype, and punishes those who just want to do an honest days work for honest pay.</description>
