Calling Vince Cable is a bit much even for the Telegraph. Are the BBC after the same bagger audience that the Baggergraph now generates from the other side of the pond?
Cable:
" interpreted as an outburst of Marxism. to go round explaining that that's not what I meant."
Marx:
"I am not a Marxist."
On capitalism
Cable:
"Capitalism takes no prisoners and kills competition where it can."
Marx:
"Capitalism is dead labour, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks."
On happiness and working for the common good
Cable:
"I am told that I look miserable. I'm sorry, conference, this is my happy face.
"'Aren't you having fun?' people ask. It isn't much fun but it's necessary: necessary for our country that our parties work together at a time of financial crisis."
Marx:
"If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all; then we shall experience no petty, limited, selfish joy, but our happiness will belong to millions, our deeds will live on quietly but perpetually at work, and over our ashes will be shed the hot tears of noble people."
On the necessity of working together
Cable:
"But what is it like being in bed with the Tories? First, it's exhausting; it's exhausting because you have to fight to keep the duvet. But to hold our own we need to maintain our party's identity and our authentic voice."
Marx:
"Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand."
Sadly, there is more
