Lothar Dombrowski: Do you really think that capitalism is finished?
Volker Pispers: Sure. It kills itself right now or gets beaten at its own game.
Lothar Dombrowski: No, I think you underestimate capitalism tremendously. Capitalism survived the RAF, Helmut Kohl and it will survive Oskar Lafontaine easily.
Volker Pispers: But not the Chinese.
Lothar Dombrowski: The Chinese? The Chinese aren't fighting capitalism, they copy it.
Volker Pispers: But why? Did you ever thought about that? Why does the last remaining irrefutable reigning communist party on the planet promotes capitalism in its own country? There's something behind that.
Lothar Dombrowski: You think it's a trick?
Volker Pispers: Sure, they've learned from the RAF and the Soviet Union that you can't fight capitalism with force. You need to hug it to death.
Lothar Dombrowski: You mean, in this case, produce to death?
Volker Pispers: Yes.
Lothar Dombrowski: With lead poisoned Barbie dolls?
Volker Pispers: Naw... And that is only the beginning. Once they will copy capitalism perfect, so that capitalism becomes completely absurd and thus they will overcome it.
Lothar Dombrowski: But how do you want to destroy something that is continuingly growing and therefor becomes more powerful?
Volker Pispers: What would you do when you want to get rid of fat people? Do you try to starve them to death?
Lothar Dombrowski: Of course not! When you are as old as I am, you ain't that much time.
Volker Pispers: Exaclty. In cases like that it's much more effective to feed those people. If you are always feeding fat people, you'll get rid of them much faster than denying them food forever. And they would believe until the end that you're a good friend.
