Great to breathe the fresh air of new opportunity -
It is important to consider what to do with the capitalist bosses after the revolution has succeeded.
May I make the following suggestion: we send them to the countryside to be re-educated - after all, we can't allow thorns to prick and goad at our newly liberated state.
This re-education would be carried out in specially constructed camps where the ideas of our President ,Chomrade Mac Saoirse could be effectively transmitted into the hearts and minds of our fallen fellow creatures.
Like recovering drug addicts these unfortunate creatures would be rehabilitated through a stringent regime of healthy work on an organic farm and exposure to a full curriculum of emancipative study in all the core subjects currently studied in our Leaving Cert curriculum. This study would not have the usual effect of bolstering the capitalist state. It would not function as an arm of the Ideological State Apparatus, as our great forbearer Louis Althusser called it, rather it would liberate the individual former capitalist from the bonds of their own upbringing and allow them to joyously join the great heart of the Irish working class.

If our esteemed President permits , I would be delighted to take on the mantle of organising this curriculum . It would not be necessary to immediately implement study in all the core areas – We could begin with the study of history . Our starting point would be of course 1848 , the year not only of revolutions but also of the publication of our master’s seminal publication “The Communist Manifesto”
I would be welcome your comments , Chomrade.
