The AIG bonus fiasco has sparked a widely reported furor in Washington and across the country. Those who defend the need for lavish pay packages claim that efforts to cap compensation are a “war on talent” that will prevent those institutions from digging themselves out of the hole they are in.
William Black, a professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, says the controversy could have the unexpected result of helping atheistic Marxists find religion.
“It’s too bad that so few Marxists believe in God, because this would prove that God existed and was a Marxist,” he said. “For if God wanted to destroy capitalism, he would send the AIG management team.”

Maybe inept management - the names of Czar Nikolay II of Russia and the Provisional Government that replaced him in February 1917 come to mind - had their hand in the collapse of Capitalist economy and the society. But after February always comes October. And then comes Comrade Stalin - the greatest Marxist of his era (whoever doesn’t agree would be either made standing an exemplary trial with predetermined capital sentence, or simply disappear without a trace). And by the way Stalin started his career as a Theology student, so he knew better if God was Marxist.
