You could do the same one of Ayn Rand only it'll be "Smarter than you---and still wrong"

One cannot just "make" a new meme. a meme is a community production

You have made a lolmarx. Without... much of the lol. it could perhaps work better as a demotivational?

But, is it truly "elitist" to state a truth from a possition which has been historically marginalized. Kind of like the bullied kid standing up for himself with some truth to power. I meant it to be a rub in the face a bit. That was what i wanted. Hmmm, I'll have to think on it before/if I start using it.

I think we need something with more solidarity...

yes Marx was smart but he did not to try to shove it in the face of those he was trying to free from the chains of their oppression.

A message of solidarity is better for the cause
than spitting in the face of those you are trying to convince.
