      I was saying this to a friend of mine and he was seriously saying stuff like: “oh but with inflation, that means nothing, so it doesn’t count.” I thought. It was one of the most braindead things I ever heard. And so far up anti-China propaganda’s as that the sun doesn’t shine there.

    On the twelth day of Maomas a comrade gave to us,

    Twelve thousand miles of railroads

    Eleven American investors

    Ten public companies

    Nine rural farm collectives

    Eight barefoot doctors

    Seven percent party membership

    Six landlords lynched

    Five stars on the flag!

    Four strikes supported

    Three volumes of Capital

    Two family golden rice bowl jobs

    And a Little Red Book by Mao se Tung!
