8/12 - 8/13

Hey everyone, sorry about not posting yesterday, it was a little busy at work. Since I was on vacation last week and didn't listen to the program at all, I am going to continue identifying the questions in the order I hear them. So, if there were any new questions last week, I will have them out of order.

Yesterday, John was on line 2 and was playing for $340. The first question was new and he did not answer it correctly:

Question O: (Something like) What is merely the organized one class for oppressing the other?

Answer: Political Power



Today, Zach was the contestant on line 3, playing for $350. Again, Zach had some correct answers, but the third question was asked and he did not have the answer.

Question M: What epidemic of earlier epochs seemed an absurdity?

Answer: Over-production

Question E: What has the bourgeoisie torn away from the family?

Answer: The sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relationship into a mere money relation.

Question P: What is the passively eroding mass thrown off by the lowest layers of the old society?

Answer: The Proletariate

$360 tomorrow

Good luck everyone

-Until next time...

7/31 - Question J

Greetings, Greg was the contestant on line 2 today with $260 in the jackpot. He received a repeat question; J.

Who are the slaves ...... and above all, by the individual bourgeois manufacturer himself.

The labourers.

I will be on vacation next week and will not be able to update the site. If someone would please leave comments so we can keep up, I would appreciate it.

Good luck everyone.

-Until next time...

7/30 - Question F, Question N

Greetings everyone. First of all, thanks to Jeff for providing the question and answer from yesterday's game. I am glad Jeff gave us the info, because I had the answer written incorrectly (much like I had the answer to Question F incorrect).

Kem was the contestant today on the 4th line. He was playing for $250. Kem got the first question correct, which again, I had written incorrectly.

Question F: What is veiled by religious and political illusions and a substitute for naked, shameless, direct, and brutal exploitation?

Answer: Free Trade (confirmed as correct)

Question N: What happens to the laborer right after he is set upon by the manufacturer?

Answer: He is set upon by the other portions of the bourgeoisie, the landlord, the shopkeeper, the pawnbroker, etc.

Good luck everyone, $260 tomorrow.

-Until next time...

7/29 - No idea, damn iPhone

Well, I know Jeff was the contestant on line 2 and $240 was in the pot, but other than that, I don't know anything because my iPhone connection was lost right after he introduced himself. If anyone has the q/a from today's game, please leave a comment.

-Until next time...

7/28 - Question C, Question I, Question M

Seng was the contestant on line 4 today with $230 in the pot. His family escaped communism in Laos, so he may have had an advantage in the game, but after answering the first two questions correctly, he could not get the third.

Question C: Generally in the most advanced countries, what must happen to rest all property for the proletariate...bourgeoisie?

Answer: Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes

Question I: Generally in the most advanced countries, what must happen to all credit in order for the proletariate to wrestle all property from the bourgeoisie?

Anser: The centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

Question M: What epidemic of earlier epochs seemed absolutely absurd?

Answer: Over-production

$240 tomorrow, good luck everyone.

-Until next time...

7/27 - Question H, Question L

Good morning everyone. Matt was the contestant on line 3 today with $220 in the jackpot. He answered his first question correctly, but did not answer the second (a new question) correctly.

Question H: What does the Bourgeoisie mean by freedom?

Answer: This was different from the answer I had previously and while Matt gave a long resopnse, Brian indicated it included the "key phrase", "free trade, free selling and buying". So that's what we'll go with as the answer now.

Question L: What happens to the modern laborer since he doesn't rise with the modern process of industry?

Answer: He sinks deeper and deeper below the conditions of existence of his own class.

$230 tomorrow, good luck everyone.

-Until next time...
