Erik L. Midtsveen🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈<p>DENNIS:<br>I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Yes.</p><p>DENNIS:<br>But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Yes, I see.</p><p>DENNIS:<br>By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,--</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Be quiet!</p><p>DENNIS:<br>--but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!</p><p>WOMAN:<br>Order, eh -- who does he think he is?</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>I am your king!</p><p>WOMAN:<br>Well, I didn't vote for you.</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>You don't vote for kings.</p><p>WOMAN:<br>Well, 'ow did you become king then?</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>The Lady of the Lake,<br>[angels sing]<br>her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.<br>[singing stops]<br>That is why I am your king!</p><p>DENNIS:<br>Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Be quiet!</p><p>DENNIS:<br>Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Shut up!</p><p>DENNIS:<br>I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Shut up! Will you shut up!</p><p>DENNIS:<br>Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Shut up!</p><p>DENNIS:<br>Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!</p><p>ARTHUR:<br>Bloody peasant!</p><p>DENNIS:<br>Oh, what a give away. Did you here that, did you here that, eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing me, you saw it didn't you?</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Syndicalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Syndicalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/AnarchoSyndicalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AnarchoSyndicalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/MovieQuotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MovieQuotes</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Movie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Movie</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/MonthyPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MonthyPython</span></a></p>
