Philosophical Discussion Group
![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!\""

Dungeons & Dragons & Philosophers III: Ladies' Night at the Dragon's Den
Arendt made one last attempt to save her alignment by saying she was just following party leadership, so shouldn't be held accountable, but it didn't go over well.
