Poor People's Alternatives to Wal-Hitler-Mart

Here is today's stupid question, emanating from a student who has sealed his failure in my class:

"Professor Kurgman, where should poor people shop if you feel that they should not patronize Walmart?"

Yes, I already a class-action lawsuit against this young man, on behalf of the entire academic community that has been irreparably offended by this hurtful question.

That said, the ideal is, of course, to not shop anywhere. "Shopping" is a capitalist concept, designed to distract the working class from the mass rape being inflicted upon them by said capitalist class.

But until The Revolution is complete, we must live with this intermediate state of affairs.

And so, here is my guide to Walmart alternatives for poor people:

Food

Poor people should stop poisoning themselves at Walmart and instead shop at Whole Foods Market. What with 100 different types of cheeses, sustainable seafood, cage-free eggs, and commitments to locally-grown organic crops and Ethical Trade, the Environment and Quality Products, it is utterly impossible to understand why machinists, truck drivers, auto mechanics, building superintendents, kitchen helpers, day laborers, and the rest of the working class would shop anywhere else. Unless, of course, they are victims of capitalist indoctrination.

Appliances and Household Items

Obviously, the poor people's place to go is Williams-Sonoma. The Hispanic market, in particular, will be intrigued by the wide assortment of furnishings for wine cellars -- which is a category completely overlooked by racist Walmart. Need more evidence of Walmart's genocidal strategy? How about their neglecting the working person's demand for tart pans?

Clothing and Sporting Goods

The people reject Hitlermart and select the environmental embrace of Patagonia. Vegan-friendly, organic, and economical, working people and minorities can easily prepare for their favorite pastimes of yoga and alpine climbing. Can anyone explain to me why food stamps are not valid for Patagonia purchases? Vote the Environment!

Another good choice is Urban Outfitters, especially for their scarves that Walmart will not sell.

Toys

By selling toys, the Nazis at Walmart are deliberately fighting the forces of human extinction, which is our planet's only hope. Poor people, minorities, wymyn, and the working class cannot fight Walmarts poisonous propaganda, and so they have no choice but to procreate. And so, if toys must be purchased, we should still not feed the monster. Instead, I recommend planet-friendly products from Progressive Kid, where "every day is Earth Day" and where you can "challenge gender roles". From $3.99 eco-chocolate bars to $24 organic T-shirts, there is no better way for poor people to spend their money.

Some people might point out that some of these stores are more expensive than Walmart. Well, of course they are, and that is because they do not sell products made by slaves. And Progressive Kid goes even further; they are so progressive that they strive to not sell anything made by any Chinese people at all! (Or, presumably, not until the Cultural Revolution returns.)

Here is a tip: When choosing between a $2/pound toxic chicken at Walmart and a $9/pound organic chicken at Whole Foods, always pay more for organic. You will be defeating the slave owners, and there is no better recipient, no more needy recipient, for your extra $7 anywhere in the world.

Religion vs. Progressivism

This table clearly shows the difference between religion and progressivism. The gulf between the two shows how far we progressives must travel to reach our goals.

Barbaric Religion	Enlightened Progressivism
Trusts an all-powerful make-believe god to make decisions to help us.	A benevolent government will make decisions to help us.
Idiotic religious rituals.	Recycling, protest marches, veganism.
God is watching and will punish you if you sin.	We are watching, and will protect the People from your hate speech.
Creationists claim that life is to complicated to have evolved; all was created by god.	Professors know that economies are too complicated to have evolved; all is created by government policies.
God knows everything.	Government committees and political leaders know everything.
God is good and merciful.	The leader is wise and kind.
Sacrifice for your co-religionists.	Give all for your community.
Enemies of god will be dealt with.	Republicans will be dealt with.
Suffering will bring rewards.	Higher taxes will bring justice.
Faith trumps reason.	Global warming is the biggest threat to Earth.
Time-wasting religious services.	Productive community meetings.
Will not integrate with people of other religions.	Mingling with beautiful diversity at the farmers market and the food co-op. Buy local.
Compels non-believers to join.	Fight for labor unions; smash the open shop.
Incoherent and meaningless religious dogma.	Sustainability, empowerment, social justice, community action, grass-roots activism, and of course, progressivism.

The Genesis of Evil

This is the genesis of evil, the six points of depravity from which all other evil springs. (Click on image to absorb it all.)

My students are required to memorize it, and demonstrate their allegiance to it on exams.

The Genesis of Evil tells us that there have been very few true evils in history. In fact, I am hard pressed to think of anything other than these main Six Points of Depravity.

For example, there have been a total of three tyrannical empires in all of history: Amerikkka, South Africa, and The Zionist Entity. The 99% of world history without these oozing sores has been one of progress, solidarity, and community. But the remaining 1% has had an influence far beyond their boundaries.

South Africa, fortunately, is no longer its former imperialistic apartheid terror threat. But instead, the horrors of apartheid have been inherited by the Zionist Entity -- and its relentless holocaust against the Palestinian people. And since we are all Palestinians, we are all being assaulted by the Zionists and their control over the genocidal Amerikkkan military machine.

Rest assured that I will fight. And fight and fight. And fight and fight and fight. And fight for the things that we believe in and the things that ought to be. Fight, fight, fight. The only road to progress is through fighting.
