Rocco & The Violent Populist
ROCCO
Well, gas-price-total-fucking “explained” to Congress by power execs
and Wall Street Pirates.
VP
There’s quick answer. Take ’em out to a marble wall and summarily
execute.
ROCCO
Their buddies’d begin paying attention. But, blood baths? I don’t know.
Messy! But, must be a valid literature re cleaning blood from marble.
VP
CIA covers it in an appendix for foreign operators.
ROCCO
Once the blood letting starts...?
VP
Congress, Executive, and Court next.
ROCCO
Firing squads?
VP
Only for Exec and Justices. No explanation needed.
ROCCO
And Congress...?
VP
Exile to a volcanic island. They’ll bullshit each others’ ears off,
and they’re so incompetent they’ll starve.
ROCCO
Okay, so you’re rid of the government. How about the bribe money
that goes unused?
VP
Escrow. Then tapped for people.
ROCCO
So People’s government. Quaint notion.
VP
Not at all. We’ll start with local councils and let them figure it out
collectively.
ROCCO
You’re a dreamer.
VP
Beats the Capitalist Nightmare!
ROCCO
You don’t believe in Free Markets!
VP
Fuck-Markets.
ROCCO
How do you keep your new rule from becoming corrupt?
VP
You don’t, really. You just become a realist. However,
since the first sinners will be Capitalists, we just apply
the old blood cure. Simple.
ROCCO
You scare me almost to the Right.
VP
Wouldn’t suggest.
