marx

as you could all probably tell from our little skit we decided to have fun with the marx reading. there is not enough fun in this program in my opinion and any time there is an opportunity for laughs, i'm gonna take it. of course it was not a serious interpretation on our parts of his (limited) theories on art, but more an example of how theories are often misused. mao zedong was marxist and he used marx's theories to defend and uphold everything he deemed to be appropriate (be it actually related to marxist theory or not), in much the same way certain religious zealots use broad interpretations of the bible to substantiate their views. ideas are fluid and open to interpretation and people often bend and contort them for their own purposes. our purpose was comedy!
