If Karl Marx had been alive in 2007, he would have been working for a bank. Banks had reached a state of communist perfection. The workers took home everything; the capital holders were left with nothing. Shareholders of banks were raped by the staff, who paid themselves extravagant sums out of illusory profits. Labour had found a far more effective device than trade unions for destroying capitalists, by duping the shareholders that higher pay was essential to retain Talent. They were assisted by the accountants, who allowed them to declare profits before they received any cash. Marx would have been laughing all the way from the bank.
如果2007年卡爾•馬克思(Karl Marx)在世的話，他會在銀行工作。銀行已經達到了「共產主義」的完美狀態。所有的東西都被工人拿走，資本家則一無所有。員工肆意欺凌著股東，根據虛幻的利潤爲自己發放豐厚的薪酬。勞動者發現了比工會更能摧毀資本家的工具，哄騙股東說，要留住「人才」，就必須付出更高的工資。助紂爲虐的會計們讓銀行在現金還未入手時，便宣佈盈利。銀行裏的馬克思一定笑得合不攏嘴。
