Allen Ginsberg

A pretty great gay free verse poet and beatnik. His most famed work is Howl, a three part poem (with a poetic footnote) that was Ginsberg's response to the social climate in America, in addition to parts of his life. Became very involved in spirituality, becoming a Buddhist in the 1960s. He wrote tons of poems, which I definitely recommend you read. Though later on his stuff got weirder.

Allen Ginsberg was an excellent poet, but in his later years he wrote some pretty weird poems, like, "Sphincter" (which, albeit it being strange is funny).

Capitalism

Something people hate for scores of reasons.
Something people like for one reason.

Capitalism=profit. Stop saying you "value individual rights" or "free market". If you really did believe in those, you'd be a socialist. Individual rights are oppressed in capitalism as companies are unaccountable private tyrannies. Markets aren't free when they oppress people like that. Your capitalism wouldn't exist if it weren't for the government-the Reagan administration was the most protectionist government ever. He's your champion of free market capitalism, right?

Just admit it-your a capitalist because you're a selfish dick.
