Well, Lenin had it sorta correct with his "We shall hang the last Capitalist with the rope he sells us". Change "we" into "they", "hang" into "decapitate", and "rope" into "steel".
Yeah, but good ole Vlady Ilich did not set up companies listed on the NYSE, or get his kommissars to sit on fancy board of directors, pushing pinko-socially conscious investments. At least with him you knew exactly where he was coming from.
That's why he failed, and the more sophisticated and nuanced Muchachos Meccanicos are clobbering us all over the cultural map with far more bang for their buck. But, to be fair to Vlady, he did not have a century of history in the arts and practice of punking the West to draw upon.
