In these times of economic turmoil and with the Japanese economy officially in a recession, its no wonder the Japanese are questioning the capitalist system. How strangely coincidental then, that a manga version of Das Kapital is being released next month in Japan.

Karl Marx’ complex ideas and dense discourse will surely translate well into manga form, hell if Shakespeare could be manga why not Marx. Next month the Japanese might find they already get the worst parts of communism, loss of individuality, a group centered society and a heavy dose of xenophobia, so they might as well get the shared wealth and cool hats that come with communism.

Lets just hope no one tells them there’s no room for designer clothing in communism, unless everyone wears that one design.
