Title: [Fun] Apple: How Karl Marx was right

Hey!

No, don't worry. I will not try to convince you to Communism or whatever. I just had to smirk when I opened the Wikipedia Article of Commodity Fetishism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_fetishism) and not expecting this at all the very first picture was this:

It just hits this so well:

Quote
As against this, the commodity-form, and the value-relation of the products of labour within which it appears, have absolutely no connection with the physical nature of the commodity and the material relations arising out of this. - Karl Marx

Btw., no idea how I managed to end up there starting out at Open Society (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Society).

PS: I'd love to see exactly a shop like this with a big, giant Bitcoin logo on it. Make it happen! :D
