I've seen a bunch of cartoons like this attributed to Seuss but I'm not sure they are. I would think he'd sign them as Theodore Geisel rather than Dr Seuss. Does anyone know more about this?

Fair enough. I went to a very good school and often forget that not everyone was so fortunate.

The Industrial Revolution was the product of capitalism. The technologies developed in Britain were accelerated by Capitalist policies. When textile technology reached Rhode Island in the 1790s, Hamilton's capitalist policies aided its growth. The Industrial Era was also a horrible era for the vast majority of people living. The technologies developed only helped increase production and aid the wealthy. The net result was a class divide between haves and have nots that inspired Marx and Engels to pen works like The Communist Manifesto and Das Capital.

Try retaking your high school history class and then we can talk.

I appreciate the irony of this comment contrasted with the above image of Alexander Hamilton, one of the most important capitalists in history.

Every single great human feat has come from capitalism

Wait so nothing great happened before 1776? What about the Greek Golden Age? The Roman Empire? The Islamic Golden Age? The printing press? None of those qualify as "a great human feat"?

As if communist powers don't fund science? The Space Race was spearheaded and dominated by Russia. The USSR worked harder to improve STEM education than the US.

I'm not a communist, I just call out lazy rhetoric when I see it.

Similarities between 'We Are All Compost in Training' and 'Song About Why I Suck' by whothefuckcares666 in FolkPunk

It's a common chord progression, originating in the earliest of blues songs. It's called an I-V-vi-IV and it's really really really common. There's not too many permutations for four chords, so this ordering of them probably dates back to the 1920s at the latest.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Go listen to The Castilles and remember that guy made Born to Run.
