Nice. Marx, whatever his claims of being a materialist,
really seems to have been a romantic, as your quote
implies:

    ...A hundred years after Marx we know the
    fallacy of this reasoning: the spare time of the
    animal lkaborans is never spent in anything but
    consumption, and the more time is left to him, the
    greedier and more craving his appetites." (p. 133)

(see Dave's original post for source).

What's more, even Zoyd seems to realize what rubbish
Marxism is, as he, much more in sync with what's up by
this time, needles Zuniga with the old cant:

...But I'll wait for the read to catch up, so as not to
spoil the fun. Meantime, keep those excerpts coming.
