7/23 - Question G, Question A, Question J

Good morning everyone, Zach (formerly Ekk) was the contestant on line 4 today with $200 in the pot and answered some questions correctly for the first time and became a level 2 communist according to Brian. Unfortunately the run ended when the third question was new.

Question G: What is the real fruit of the workers battle?

Answer: The ever expanding union of the workers (confirmed)

Question A: Who has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his natural superiors?

Answer: The bourgeoisie (confirmed)

This last question I am wording the way it is written in the manifesto and not necessarioy the exact way Brian read it.

Question J: Who are the slaves of the bourgeois class, the bourgeois state, ... the bourgeois machine, and above all, by the individual bourgeois manufacturer himself?

Answer: The laborers

Again, I didn't save the link to the answer, so I apologize for that.

$210 tomorrow.

Good luck everyone.

-Until next time...

7/9 - New Category, Question A

Good morning all. Apparently someone won yesterday, so now if anyone has the details, please share. Moving onto today, a new round started and wow, the first question was a doozy. I am thinking this round is going to be about communism and socialism just based on the first question and the fact Brian has been crying about it for what seems like forever, or at least since the third Monday in January.

Without further ado or commentary, here we go:

Dylan was the contestant on line 4 today for $100.

Question A: Who has pitilessly torn assunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his natural superiors?

Answer: Well, this was written by Karl Marx, but it appears the subject in his writing appears to be The Bourgeoisie. So, I'm thinking the answer is The Bourgeoisie. Check out the link for yourself and let me know your thoughts.
