Abstract
While making a hot dog in a restaurant, David Obermeyer reflects on class and labor.
Description
Kleinhans: “What do you think of the dictatorship of the proletariat?”
Obermeyer: “I kinda think Marx said it all, ya know? Marx said Socialism was the declaration of the permanence of the revolution, the class dictatorship of the proletariat as the necessary transit point to the abolition of all the relations of production on which they rest -- the abolition of all social relations that correspond to these relations of production, and to the revolutionizing of all the ideas that result in these social relations."
Kleinhans: "Yeah, I really liked that part about the revolutionizing of ideas."
Obermeyer: "Yeah, yeah, so do I, it's real good. Say uh, anything to drink?"
