quote:

Communism for Kids, written by a German author who specializes in political theory and "queer politics," was released last month. The thesis of the children's book is that communism is "not that hard," but has not been implemented in the right way.


quote:

"Offering relief for many who have been numbed by Marxist exegesis and given headaches by the earnest pompousness of socialist politics, it presents political theory in the simple terms of a children's story, accompanied by illustrations of lovable little revolutionaries experiencing their political awakening," MIT Press states.

Can't wait to see how they transform Joseph Stalin into a lovable revolutionary.

Imagine
John Lennon, Plastic Ono Band

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Songwriters: John Lennon
Imagine lyrics © Downtown Music Publishing

It's so beautiful!

How were queers treated by Stalin and Mao?

Actually they should be thrown from above a moving helicopter into the blades just to be sure.

All those people we hold up as Gods have never been good enough. Sad. We are smarter than all the rest of the communists that have ever been on the planet. THIS time it will work!!

You do realize that Eric Blair (George Orwell) was a dedicated socialist.

The biggest problem with Communism was that it was implemented and managed by the Russians who don't know how to run an ice cream stand let alone a revolutionary new society.

Communism would have worked splendidly in the United States if you mixed the theories of socialism with good old fashiond Yankee "can do" spirit.

Communism failed simply because it was done in the wrong, corrupt, place.

So we should implement it in Alabama? Or Louisiana? After all:

Nothing brings out that 'can do' spirit like waiting in line for a loaf of bread at the local commune once a week and worshiping the state.

Also lol if you don't think the US is corrupt. It's just a corrupt capitalist nation right now, but would be a corrupt socialist/communist nation if those were implemented.
