gollark: According to 9 out of 10 dentists, people do this fairly often.

gollark: This would only be better if workers would be allowed to decide between themselves to work, and by means of political means they would have a higher power. The chief representative and classical type of this tendency is Mr Karl Gruen. In particular, it may be seen that at work it is not possible to produce more workers and more people, if this is the case. Bourgeois Socialism attains adequate expression when, and only when, it becomes a mere figureof speech. It is an attitude which allows the individual to express his own mind without any kind of form of communication, but can be regarded as a mere expression of the mind.
