Milton Friedman

by Jim Benz

He is worthless.
The old duffer is worthless.
[He is dead.] We are valued

Consumers: we are standing in shit.
When we spend in lockstep
We have value --

[We are worthless.]

Having read a little about Naomi Klein, the underlying theme makes more sense. Covert operation that overtly renders the myth of collective activism invalid -- no-one likes to admit standing in the shit of manipulation.
