Idealists and Cut-purses.


The Tragic Flaw

The next revolution came too fast.
I had just gotten my uniform tailored.
"Get rid of that pot, you'll be a movie star!"
my supervisor cracked.

Now he's dead, and the uniform's forbidden.
We have to find old clothes, paying dearly
for them.

"This is the first example," laughed Causely.
“Après le Deluge, le Gouge! Therefore we no
longer must mouth Socialist Man! Now it's
Free Market! Doesn't that just give you a tingle?"

"There'll be more. Classes compulsory."

"Can't wait! Hey! This one might last shorter
than the last."

"I've hidden my uniform."

"Shhhh! Just be patient. Their thieves
are undermining them even as we speak.
Their tragic flaw."
