    Far left: „Capital is the root of evil. Follow me, I know the true way!”

    Far right: „Capital is the root of all prosperity. Follow me, I know the true way!”

    People that care to learn from mistakes of others: „Yeah no, we learned the price of following those claiming to know the true way. Over and over again.”

      Ah, yes, the “You think I’m going to fall for people claiming to have a solution? Everyone knows the status quo is the best things will ever be.” Party.
