Ah, but excrement does have a value. It can be used, and it is actually used
as fertilizer, and in many parts of the world the human version of this
COMMODITY is widely used and VALUED. In fact if you had sufficient quantity
of excrement (maybe a whole mountain of it) you could purchase with it the
most valuable WORK OF ART (that being one of the main indictments of the
role of art as a commodity in bourgeois society.  And with less than a
millionth part of that necessary to buy the Monalisa, you could buy the
souls AND BODIES of ALL the scribblers at the service of the "Money bags"
who hate the revolution and talk such nonsense showing they do not even know
the basics of commodity economy - and then, call themselves marxists!  You
would even have enough cash left over for a good holiday in the Bahamas!.

Groucho certainly must have also some followers there!
