From our good pal and Happy Nice Time People alumnus Kaleb Horton comes an epic tale of Mistaken Reading.

&quot;Capital has one single life impulse, the tendency to create value and surplus-value, to make its constant factor, the means of production, absorb the greatest possible amount of surplus-labour. Capital is dead labour, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.&quot;
a thousand times this.
THAT&#039;S NOT FUNNY!!!
FTW!
&quot;This was Twitter, after all, and most people don&rsquo;t fact-check every tweet they read.&quot;
True enough...but they ought to fucking well fact-check it before they pass it along.
What, no exigencies?
