text: I suppose if I were a Marxist I would argue that Tillerson's nomination at least has the benefit of discrediting the hypocritical conceit that the American government is not controlled by multinational corporations.  We should probably delete the term "representative democracy" from the lexicon while we're at it.  The idea that U.S. government officials somehow "represent" us is now patently absurd.  We peons are here to be ruled for the benefit of our economic elites.
