Does capitalism limit the language of morality to success and failure? How many times have you seen “rip-offs” justified because they work? Most recently I saw a teacher/author call someone a fool for selling his book for a lot more than he himself does. Many people wouldn’t or couldn’t see past the money making potential, and it was only that potential to earn or lose that could make the act “foolish”. “A fool? He looks to be successful.” I don’t get the impression that such people are denying moral considerations. They just don’t see them.
“The Turkey Trot, Grizzly Bear and Other Naughty Diversions”
“Starting as if in the good old-fashioned Two-Step, the dancers suddenly let go hands, the man slipping behind his fair companion, there is a little step and a hop, something like a turkey might be expected to do, then a fresh grip around the waist of the young lady, the man snuggles up ever so closely behind her and they hop, skip and jump and half run along.”
Lenin himself had servants.
