Episode 26: Things of a Fleshly Nature That You Might Not Otherwise See; or, The Best Debut on Broadway Since Streisand

The contradictions inherent in the movement of capitalist society impress themselves upon the practical bourgeois most strikingly in the changes of the periodic cycle, through which modern industry runs, and whose crowning point is the universal crisis. That crisis is once again approaching, although as yet but in its preliminary stage; and by the universality of its theatre and the intensity of its action it will drum dialectics even into the heads of the mushroom-podcast listeners of the new, holy Prusso-German empire.

– Karl Marx, London, January 24, 1873.
