Fatuous stereotypes, anyone?

Agent Bob shows Alice incontrovertible proof that the Soviet Union, North Korea, East Germany, Red China, and the other Communist countries were/are really repressive places with bad living standards. She can’t deny the evidence and becomes a pro-Capitalist democrat, but then she becomes a more authoritarian capitalist … and then she comes back around to more democratic socialism…

Maybe even funnier:

Bob goes back in time to warn Karl Marx about the suffering and tyranny his Communist Manifesto will inspire some people to create. In order to prevent the atrocities of Stalin, Mao, and their ilk, Marx goes out of his way to write in all his Author Tracts that the proletariat’s uprising MUST be completely and utterly non-violent.

I have to admit, I almost feel guilty sharing this, as if I’m inviting everybody to make fun of some little kid’s doodles or scribbles. It’s too easy.

    Love TV tropes as a concept, but the sheer amount of liberalism emanating from it always poisons me away.
