If Karl Marx had been alive in 2007, he would have been working for a bank. Banks had reached a state of communist perfection. The workers took home everything; the capital holders were left with nothing. Shareholders of banks were raped by the staff, who paid themselves extravagant sums out of illusory profits. Labour had found a far more effective device than trade unions for destroying capitalists, by duping the shareholders that higher pay was essential to retain Talent. They were assisted by the accountants, who allowed them to declare profits before they received any cash. Marx would have been laughing all the way from the bank.
如果2007年卡尔•马克思(Karl Marx)在世的话，他会在银行工作。银行已经达到了“共产主义”的完美状态。所有的东西都被工人拿走，资本家则一无所有。员工肆意欺凌着股东，根据虚幻的利润为自己发放丰厚的薪酬。劳动者发现了比工会更能摧毁资本家的工具，哄骗股东说，要留住“人才”，就必须付出更高的工资。助纣为虐的会计们让银行在现金还未入手时，便宣布盈利。银行里的马克思一定笑得合不拢嘴。
