Who's Right?

Lenin: "Persons who think of politics as small tricks which at times border on deceit must be decisively refuted. Classes cannot be deceived."

Herodotus: "It seems indeed easier to deceive a multitude than one man."

Who's right, do you think?

Also, this is funny:

This failure to register any sphere of activity between junior high one-upsmanship and triggering apocalypse puts me in mind of an idea for an entire issue of Avengers in which they do nothing but play bridge. 'Hulk bid two no trump.' But that's another story ...

The correct answer is c), Abraham Lincoln: "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

[Adam Roberts]

Let me just make sure I understand here. The options on your question ('who's right?') are

(a) 'classes cannot be fooled'
(b) 'the mass can be easily fooled'
(c) 'rather than set up a superhero trophy room, set up a trophy room that doubles as a doomsday device'

In that case I go with Dr Slack, and vote (c)

[bob mcmanus]

The correct answer is c)Georg Lukacs. Or d)Theodore Hickman(Hickey).

I assume Hulk play "unusual" two no trump (bridge humor!).

[Scott Eric Kaufman]

Maybe I need new glasses, but I can read the panel, and Scott want read panel. Scott smash panel. Scott think to smash Holbo! Ahem.

That issue would be great as long as it were drawn the Marvel way. Hulk . . . bid two . . . NO TRUMP!!!!

[Jim Parish]

There was a (rather bad) issue of Defenders in which the Hulk wound up serving coffee to a large assembly of heroes. ("Drink it BLACK!")

[Benjamin Nelson]

These are all false options; people don't care enough to be fooled.

Politicians seldom make asses of the man of the masses.
