Crocodile tears did weep as dignitaries spoke of Mandela&#8217;s greatness and showed off their ten thousand dollar suits, while their multimillion dollar jets littered SA runways.  The offering plates for SAs poor were left empty, but souvenir pictures could be<br \/>\nbought on the street corners of the ghettos, abandon long ago in Apartheid&#8217;s triumphant surrender to Capitalist liberation.  World Leaders pissed themselves to get their picture taken with the corpse of what is now the most exploited black-man in world history.  Postmortem slave marketeers lurked in the darkness like undertakers with a pocket full of gold teeth.  What greater tribute to Capitalism than Mandela the corpse finally made submissive in the enterprise of his death.  Mandela&#8217;s greatness reduced to a token of gratuitousness and profit margin.  The<br \/>\nultimate degradation of humanity is the exploitation of a corpse.<\/p>\n<div class=\"igit_tsb_button\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crookedbough.com%2F%3Fp%3D19294&amp;text=Mandela%2C+an+Enterprise+is+Born&amp;count=horizontal&amp;via=\" style=\"\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mandela an Enterprise is Born Phlipn Pagee &#8211; 11 December, 2013 Mandela&#8217;s funeral had all the hallmarks of a Red Carpet Event.
