Sometimes I feel like a bird blown off-course, surrounded by the wrong
bird or flock, never mind that the birdhouses' doorways are too big, too
small or the wrong shape.
Other birds, on the other hand, seem blissfully unaware that they're
with the right flock and in the right house for them.
But then, maybe that's just my feathered perspective.
Then again, if you're a swan and you've grown up watching Duck-TV all
your life, that's going to mess around with your mind... maybe to the
point where you begin to think you're a duck.

If it kind of walks like a duck, sort of quacks like a duck, somewhat
looks like a duck, etc., is it a duck?

If a duck thinks it's a duck and there's no bird to tell it otherwise,
does it make a quack?

Anyway, I've read that what some people think Communism is or was, may
actually be, or have been, one incarnation or bastardization or another
of State Capitalism.
