I missed that picture.

I don't know about my largely wealthy status in comparison, but I am beginning to realise that only largely wealthy dilettantes can represent the poorest of the poor properly. Because they don't have time to be concerned with that - they're already on the knife's edge, they're surviving. And without proper education, I don't see how one could understand and change the system we have without shafting over the poor again. So it's technocrat socialists who, in my perspective, hold a key.

Just thinking that the tag "technocrat socialist" may fit J quite well.

Except when they stage a revolution, or at least a bread revolt :-)

Which is a rather touchy situation as well: I am not sure that armed revolution accomplishes much of anything other than replacing the current band of gangsters with another band of gangsters. The kind of people who can win an armed revolution don't generally strike me as the kind of people you'd want to have anywhere near control of your government.
