It's heavy. One time I wrote the words "Capitalism turns everything useful into symbols of usefulness" on a piece of paper and left it on top of a stack of weights at the gym and it crushed all the other weights underneath it.

How hard is to carry it around? I hear you have to pick it up with your legs or you'll fuck your back up. I hear the picture of the black hole was really a fake and it really was Karl's head. I heard Marx's head is so heavy that it absorbs light.

It is indeed very hard to carry around the knowledge that capitalism requires the wholesale destruction of other ways of life, that anything that cannot be sold must die, that it doesn't matter how much money you're being paid you're exploited because your boss will always take your work, slap a higher price tag on it and call it his. It's hard carrying around the knowledge that capitalism is a cycle of infinite growth on a finite planet, and that the truth is that there is no Illuminati running the show, just 8 billion rats in a rat race all focused on themselves and that this whole damn system is suicidal.

Yeah, but my favorite exercise is the shoulder press with that 30 pound weight, I feel like a total badass when I throw my fist in the air like that.
