Dawn, a party publicist, comes most often. She speaks a strange brand of English, leaning heavily on the rhetorical question ("Yeah, but what's at the base of all that?"). There is a theory for almost everything, and as long as you buy the basic assumption--that capitalists consciously try to oppress others constantly--then it fits together pretty well.
