Will To Build a Pyramid

Genuinely one of the strangest aspects of our society that this could literally happen. Like if Elon Musk died and left his money in his will to "build a pyramid" we would just...do it.

Communist Brainstorming

Marx: "Alright, first item on the agenda: Does anyone have any ideas on how to overthrow capitalism?"

Goldman: "What if we painted a large pile of money on the side of a wall, and the capitalists will run for it trying to get the money, the smack into the wall, injuring themselves? "

Marx: "Uh...okay Goldman... moving on. Any other ideas?"
Engels: "Yeah, what if we expel the anarchists? "

Kropotkin: "How will that end capitalism?"
Engels: "Maybe we'll be stronger with...less people?"

Kropotkin: "What we really need to do is form another committee..."
Marx: "No, damnit, Kropotkin, no more committees. This is the committee."

Kropotkin: "Who made you the king of communism anyway, Marx?"
Marx: "Alright, that's it, anarchists get out!"
Kropotkin: "Gladly!"

Engels: "Now what are we going to do?"
Marx: "Well.."

Description: they have painted a large bag of money on the wall and rich people are crashing into it.
Marx: "Wow, she was right. This does work."

Also has anyone tried running really fast away from capitalists and getting them to chase you over a cliff? Could work.

Anarchist Organizing

Mikhail Bakunin: "Welcome everyone to the anarchist meeting, we are trying to decide what action to take to best move anarchism forward. I say we begin by distributing literature to the peasants about democracy."

Peter Kropotkin: "That's nice Bakunin, but i think it will be better to try and create a network of mutual aid, and organizing the distribution of bread to all."

Emma Goldman: "What if we teach women about birth control so they can take control of their sexuality?

Kropotkin: "No one cares about sex,Goldman, we need a revolution!"

Goldman: "Perhaps at your age, Kropotkin, but i can assure you that people care about sex."

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon: "What if we come up with some really devastating insults to world leaders? That would teach them."
Goldman: "Proudhon, be serious."
Proudhon: "I mean like...real zingers. It might work!"

Goldman: "You are an idiot."
Proudhon: "Exactly, like that! Did anyone write that down?"

[ 25 days later ]

Bakunin: "Okay, we are decided, we'll just do them all since none of us could agree. let's get to work!"

Description: The police arrive immediately and start to beat them all up with clubs.

Police officer: "That will teach you violent anarchists not to disrupt peaceful, civil society! You are all arrested."

Everyone in the comic was arrested in real life for what they are arguing to do. Cops have always been the same.

Jury Selection

If you've noticed any characters appearing and disappearing, it isn't because the artist is lazy, it is because an evil demon is deceiving you.
