A Short Lesson in Civics: Wisdom from the Far Left
(WELCOME!!! This will be the first in a series of guest posts by my DEAR FRIEND Karl Stalin, spokesperson for the Great Community, emissary of the Eternal Collective, and Chief of Staff to Big Brother. He is a very educational speaker, writer, and a master expositor of propaganda. Please welcome him as he gives his first short lecture, which he likes to call "Intro to the Collective Society.")
Greetings comrades!
It is a SINCERE PLEASURE to be able to guest post on the blog of my dear friend, El Pensador. I hope this lecture will inspire, educate, and enlighten you. But let us get straight to the point:
Imagine a world where there was no private property; where everything was state-I mean publicly owned.
….…Doesn't that sound like a MARVELOUS world to live in??? I should THINK it would! Especially if your first name is Karl, and your last name is Marx… Not that anyone would have those names… except me, of course
Just imagine…
……….Actually you can stop trying to imagine now, because there is no way you possibly could.
Instead, I shall explain it to you!
The TRUE system of economics is very simple: all you have to do is take stock of all that you own, and offer it as a gift to the Great Community. It's such a heartwarming gesture.
What?! You don't like the idea of offering up your hard-earned money to the Collective???
You must not understand the System very well then. Look, you don't need to worry about keeping your profits (or even making them, for that matter), because Big Brother will take care of you. He always has, and always will. The eyes of Big Brother are in every place, keeping watch over everything you do.
Even so, you must not be so worried about your "individuality," and concerned with only your own problems...You must focus you attention on the Society! That is what is paramount! What are the parts without the whole?
In Communal Unity we are strong!
I fear I have run out of time to explain all I wanted to about how this marvelous economic system actually works. But don't worry, I promise I shall do so in the future…
In the meantime, just continue to trust in Big Brother. He will show you the way!
Till we meet again comrades,
—Karl Stalin
(Karl
Stalin, Citizen of the Collective)
P.S. Thanks to Comrade Stalin for taking his time to share with us! We hope to hear from him again very soon!
