Plus, Marx never had multiple mental break-downs like Weber. That is what makes genius!

Not bad.
And yet the capitalist only paid her for fifteen.

Can we burn it now?
Let's talk about how awesome Groucho Marx was instead
Man, Duck Soup is still funny, after seventy years
That's a fucking accomplishment

You are never prepared for how funny they still are
I love Groucho's song and dance bit in Horse Feathers where he's singing in front of an entire college that he never wanted a son while his son is sitting in the front row

protesting against cut backs when every country in europe has to give 110 billion dollars combined as a first relief?
I thought the same, until I heard their reasoning.
"But we don't wanna cut back on our lifestyle
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
Or you know, they could have not committed all that tax fraud.
edit: well yeah, but economically once they were in trouble, the inability to control their currency really hurt them. It's obviously not the root problem but it did lead to them being in this state.
Most of all you don't see leftards who tried - and failed - to read The Protestant Ethic misquoting him all over the place.

That dog is my best friend.
Well, why shouldn't they feel that way?
I mean, it may be necessary and the best course of action at this time, but it's not like it is the working class's fault that the country was so horribly mismanaged by a corrupt ruling class and fraudulent investment banks
No one wants to take that bitter pill, let alone when it wasn't their decisions that led to their problems.
Certainly we should be sympathetic to that.
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
Still, "do not want" is not a good reason to burn shit.
I mean, if they wanted to lynch their representatives or something, by all means, I couldn't blame them. Anything else though...

Well that's not really necessary for it to be effective.
Effective protest needs to be a breach of the social contract -- essentially demanding a renegotiation of the obligations of the state to the citizenry.
They can be peaceful, but if they are they need to be still somehow disruptive and undermine the social order, such as demonstrating an indifference to the laws of the land and defiance of their enforcement (thereby undermining the ability of the state to enforce its laws at all, and without enforcement there is no law).
That shit takes a long time. That's your Ghandis and your Dr. Kings and so forth. The only quick example of that I can think of is the first Roman Plebian secession, where everyone just got up and left the city (it was still just a city-state at the time, c. 400 BCE). Now, obviously this isn't feasible in a modern nation-state.
Riots, while more destructive in the short-run, are certainly a viable option for achieving the basic purpose of protest more quickly.
Personally, I frown on violence, but to assert that rioting is somehow not a true/appropriate/effective form of protest is to misunderstand the purpose of protest.
