'workers of the world unite-you have nothing to lose but your chains' - is just about the most hopeful and positive message there is. a bit of community, mutual support, treating each other with respect and fairness. who could object to such idealism? depressing is the fact that throughout history in all parts of the world people have been enslaved and set to fighting each other for the benefit of a small number of men -warmongers, greedy, racist, parasites - with seriously disturbed and depressing views and the power to persuade us mugs to pick up a gun on their behalf
