Dear communism,You looked better on paper.Sincerely, Marx.

this was from http://youbentmywookie.com/wtf/karl-marx-themed-parody-of-katy-perrys-i-kissed-a-girl-9936 it is based off of Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl and I liked it. It surprisingly touches on many of the themes discussed in class.

 Lyrics are as follows:  // I thought I just wanted to pass; // // Good grades were all I cared for. // // My college made me take the class // // More stuff for me to ignore! // // But then I found out that // // His theories weren’t so bad: // // Labor and class combat, // // What a very clever man! //

// CHORUS // // I read some Marx, and I liked it; // // The friend of the proletariat. // // I read some Marx, just to try it; // // Hope Adam Smith don’t mind it! // // It felt so wrong, // // It felt so right; // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// Men of the working class, unite! // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// I read some Marx, and I liked it; // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// I liked it! // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// There is a spectre hanging o’er // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// The face of Europe! // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// ‘Tis communism, and it’s more // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// Than just a social hiccup. // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// A time will come soon when // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// The masses rise as one // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// To carve out their place in // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// The brand new poetry to come! // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// CHORUS // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// Marx is the man, he’s working for you; // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// The bourgeoisie, they just ain’t your crew. // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// Alienation of labor is bad, // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// Commodification is not a good fad. // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// The capitalists are greedy you see; // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// A shorter workday, now that’s what we need! // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// I’m reading some Marx, and I’m liking it; // <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: 5px; text-align: left; width: 490px;">// Rise up now, proletariat! //
