In 1939, King George VI visited President Roosevelt to gain his support in the coming war. Some years later, it happened. As the Bill Murray vehicle HYDE PARK ON HUDSON (2012) unconvincingly argues, the Special Relationship was sealed over a hot dog. We dig up a forgotten piece of failed Oscar bait just to bury it all over again.

That National Review article is so inept that it can be undercut in multiple ways that you didn’t even mention. His contention that Marx was “anti-work” is so illiterate it’s laughable. Marx was anti-work UNDER capitalism. The whole POINT of the quote this Lowry guy pulled is that capitalism destroys the human ability to ENJOY work and that, when freed of the market and the market imposed necessity to labor for capitalists, humans will SEEK OUT multiple kinds of work. They’ll farm and fish and write. And they’ll do that because, Marx believed, people like doing things and being productive, they like WORK; they only don’t like working under the strictures of capitalism which demands rigid schedules and endless repetitions of the same tasks.

I mean, the Queen was right! Serving hot dogs to a foreign head of state was a big ‘fuck you’ power play, especially in a much more formal era. I now know that I want a Death of Stalin prequel set at one of the Stalin-FDR-Churchill meetings. Plenty of idiotic personality to go around.

Marx also, dare I say it had a pretty good work ethic himself. I doubt Rich Lowry's entire output matches even a single volume of Capital in length. - Luke
