Is the unhappily surnamed Bernard Whimp’s preparedness to pick off the weaker members of the capitalist herd evidence of Whale’s silly name theory at work, so that we should hold his Whimp ancestors to blame for his misanthropy?.
Or should we excuse hiim on the grounds that someone has to do it, if the capitalist tribe is not to become irredeemably degenerate – too credulous to deploy capital to best effect, which is capitalism’s defence against socialism?
I incline to the view that such heartless predation is revenge for a lifetime of titters.
