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.

    Tell me you have not read Marx without blah blah

    Seriously, Marx would have probably laughed him out of the room or something. Marx understood that violence had to be used in order for the proletariat to rise up and defend itself. Do they really think Marx was some sort of utopian pacifist or something?
