look, i know he’s not gonna shag me...but every year, when 16 october rolls round, i can't help but remember how much i adore him - & that's because one of the world's sharpest wits was more than his champagne-supping gadabout persona reflected. oscar wilde (born #otd in 1854) believed that socialism would spell true liberation for the human species.

if people were financially comfortable through ownership of the means of production, oscar posited, they would be free to explore their creativity & live fuller, more meaningful lives. i couldn't agree more & that's why i'll always love the dude. if you've read 'picture of dorian gray' & 'lady windermere's fan', it's time to pick up a copy of 'the soul of man under socialism' & give it a thorough going over.
