Prototype notes
- pronounced W.E.R. LaFarge Name-Unknown - ... he wrote plays but apparently the big thing he did was own a watershed to keep it from being developed.[1] not a very Marxist approach ... but I liked reading his story so he's a card now.
- the river thing makes me think either anarchism or Existentialism. but Existentialism is so often anticommunist it seems like too much of an insult.
- Could be filed under Western Marxism. the line between Western Marxism, anarchism, and Existentialism can get very fuzzy.
- his participation in "culture" (the arts) seems like a point for Western Marxism.[2]
Usage notes
Card abilities
The ability "Fountainhead" is an ironic reference to the titular metaphor of The Fountainhead. In Rand's work a fountainhead is meant to represent a flowing source of wealth or social structures. Here the metaphor is ironically turned around to simply represent "the bourgeoisie are the group of people who call themselves fountainheads" or "Flowingcoat came from generational wealth, which flowed down like a fountainhead". (This was the reason for giving him the ability.) The pun does require a considerable amount of context to be funny.
