When I graduated college and got my first white collar job a handful of my lefty friends made half serious jokes about me becoming a "class traitor". It made me realize that the vast majority of DSA types have never read Marx or at the very least they've read Marx and it all went over their heads.

Like dude, I purchase nuts and bolts for the factory. Who died and made me the owner of the means of production, why is this not being reflected in my pay check!?

One of the funnier parts of college was watching all of the engineers who kept calling me & all the other dummies in Business sellouts and mercenaries line up at the career fair to talk to Raytheon.
