It does seem so simple now. Writing in Rolling Stone Friday, Jesse A. Myerson breaks down the “Five Economic Reforms Millennials Should Be Fighting For.” Just five?
Well, along with guaranteed work for everybody, Myerson argues that millennials should “take back the land” from landlords (“landlords blow”) and “make everything owned by everybody” (because “hoarders blow”). For the record, unemployment and Wall Street also blow.

You know what else really blows? Communists.

.@AdamBaldwin The writer blows. He doesn't realize Obama blows. He also rides a unicorn that blows rainbow toots out of it's hind end.

Many are wondering: is Myerson simply paraphrasing Karl Marx, or is the piece an elaborate parody of Karl Marx?
Google Translate did a pretty good Russian-to-English translation of this recently discovered Karl Marx column. http://t.co/5hGx3VcHCD

@AdamBaldwin I think that article was plagiarized from Karl Marx.

Someone should tell Yglesias the bar on economic columns has been lowered.

Heh.
Myerson popped up on Twitter to defend his piece, suggesting it’s not a parody at all.
