You should have no preobelm on your own.

Capitalist encirclement refers to the hula-hoop phenomenon in the 1950's. Some entrepreneur made a pile of money on this fad product, then re-invested it. Eventually the money circulated throughout society and brought about the fall of Communism. See Hula Hoop theory of history.

Oh yeah---I gotta add this: When I was in college (and high school), there wasn't the Internet. We actually had to trudge up to the libe to look through card catalogues to find references to books and articles which we then had to request from the librarian. In order to take actual hand-written notes from, and maybe, if there wasn't too long a line at the broken-down fucking 3rd-rate copy machine, get a few blurry copies of pages, at a cost that often had me deciding: "This week, is it laundry, or Xeroxes?" (I always saved enough coin for Budweisers, thank God.)

In short, you students today have it easy. Also, I used to walk five miles through snow drifts, just to get to class. It's no so much the snow I minded. It was the wolves and the bears.
