As many may or may not know, or believe, the British pop group the Spice Girls took the world by storm with their happy go lucky catch phrases about Girl Power and enthusiastic gender equality. But what is even more unfathomable is that these five women were not the only members of the Spice Girls. The supporting band, composed of fully capable musicians, was the foundation of this British pop sensation. Ultimately, the backup band was led by the impeccable keyboard skills of none other than the social theoretician Karl Marx. Marx’s use of catchy upbeat rhythms and varying tempos created the sound which many fans of the Spice Girls could not refuse. Not only was Marx’s precision with the keys a compliment to the Spice Girls attitude, but also his revolutionary social theory reinforced the already radical lyrical style. Marx’s inflections can be recognized in the Spice Girls lyrics with regards to struggles against the established powers to be. As Marx states:
“Freeman and slave, patrician and plebian, lord and serf, guild master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.”
As sung in the track ‘Do It’, the girls state, “Who cares what they say, because the rules are for breaking, who made them anyway.” These similarities can only be traced to Marx’s advancement of class warfare. Because of the success of the Spice Girls, many believe that Marx’s personal writings were done amongst glamour and comfort. Conversely, Marx would spend his nights in the back of the tour bus after shows hammering out his most famous of works.
However, it is crucially important to understand that the girls influenced Marx as well. His weakness in revolutionary consciousness always could be found in the lack of distinction between his idea of the European, male dominated, proletarian classes and the non-European, non-male, non-western peoples the world over. This is where the Spice Girls could flourish with their empowered femininity and encouragement of the subaltern. This combination between a wickedly radical keyboarder and five superbly flamboyant and daring ‘divas’ created the pop sensation that went by the name of the one and only - Spice Marx.
Clues
Venture down to the University of Manitoba side of the city. Off of the main campus area, you will find King's Drive. Enter into the main King's Park entrance just before the bend in the road which heads back towards Pembina. You will pass ball fields on the left and maintenance facilities on the right and left.
Go past the 'additional parking' sign and pull into the large parking lot. Walk to the trail to the left of a no-parking/wheelchair access sign and to the right of a garbage can and "attention all dog owners sign".
Follow the trail uphill, until a gravel path branches off to the right. Take the gravel path, at the fork take the stone staircase down and to the right. at the bottom of the staircase take a right and walk seven paces, step over the rock step in the path and walk another seven paces.
Turn to your right and face the wooded area. Identify a six foot tall cone shaped evergreen tree. At the base of the tree is the testament to this bands consciousness building funkedelics.
