Imagine how cool it would be to see some person yelling about Lenin and Marx, waving their arms around like crazy, newspaper in hand. Wearing one of those old caps, like the one Lenin had.

I know we kind of have a version of it online, but it's much more atomising and lame. Yelling on internet forums will never compare.

The only people who do soapboxing these days are ultra religious nutters, screaming about the apocalypse or whatever. How the great have fallen, truly.

Getting talked down to by a guy on the street standing on a bigger TV box (98").

Trying to get the other people on the street to listen to my rant and read my marxist pamphlets that I'm tossing in their air at them but this new guy's deftly teetering on his TV box long-side-up and I'm being shunned as they laugh and cheer and jeer at his display of showmanship.

Now he's periodically throwing at me the included bracket mount screws that he's also juggling. Real mature, guy.
