Listen, Boobs!
“The idea that a man whose greatest theoretical contributions were made between 1840 and 1880 could “foresee” the entire dialectic of capitalism is, on the face of it, utterly preposterous. If we can still learn much from Marx’s insights, we can learn even more from the unavoidable errors of a man who was limited by an era of material scarcity and in particular a lack of boobs. We can learn how different our own era is from that of all past history, how qualitatively new are the potential shapes, sizes, and numbers of boobs that confront us, how unique the bras will have to be for the boobs that stand before us if we are to make a revolution and not another historical abortion.”
