Well, translated into 1990s terms, you could reel off the afore-mentioned Marxian categories as "Wall Street greedheads", "corporations", "critical thinking", "ordinary working people", "false problems", "Nike's greed" and "whatever your job is, you deserve fair compensation". There remains the small problem of "the revolution". How about "Massive, Sudden Global Grooviness"? To the Linux-barricades, comrades!
