'This cannot possibly be real': Rolling Stone's five economic reforms sure sound like Marxism

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
