![Jeremy Bentham: "Welcome to our philosophical discussion group. First question: Is it morally acceptable to steal bread to feed your starving family? "
Karl Marx: "Of course it is! And he should also do a communist revolution to abolish the system which forces some to starve!"
Philippa Foot: "What about this: a trolley is headed down a track to kill five people but you can divert it to kill one, what do you do?"
Karl Marx: "I would simply do a communist revolution to abolish the system were we must choose who dies for the trolley company's profit."
Judith Jarvis Thomson: "What if a master violinist-"
Karl Marx, interrupting: "I'd do a communist revolution to prevent whatever second half of that sentence was going to be!"
Judith Jarvis Thomas: "Marx, we've been over this. You can't just say “communist revolution†to everything, or we are going to have to ask you to leave."
Karl Marx, flipping over the table: "REVOLUTION!"
Judith Jarvis Thomas: "But nothing changed, the table is just upside down now."
Karl Marx: "The People's table is upside down."](http://static.existentialcomics.com/comics/PhilosophicalDiscussionGroup.png "\"Trotsky, barging in to flip the table over again: \\"permanent revolution!\\"\"")
"Trotsky, barging in to flip the table over again: \"permanent revolution!\""
