Making Communism Cool In America

[rambone]

Given the current political climate of America, I observe a very real effort to propagandize Americans in preparations for the coming shift to hard-socialism/communism. Schools teach kids more about global warming, racial profiling, and abortion than they do about the U.S. Constitution. The Socialist Democrats running the country have been working to shift the mentality of Americans for a long time. Hollywood and pop-culture is helping and playing into their hand.

This thread is to post examples of American Pop-Culture that subversively or openly promotes Communism.

Americans need to see the Communist undertones of the things they expose their kids to. These include movies, books, cartoons, tv shows, songs, etc. These are a few examples I thought of. There are dozens more, I am sure.

Please post more examples if you can think of them.

The Smurfs (tv show, 1980s)

The 1980's hit cartoon featured a utopian society of Smurfs, who all dressed alike, collectively pooled resources, had assigned jobs that never changed, and were led by Papa Smurf who had a Marxesque white beard.

The basis of the show as well as the themes of the episodes readily espoused communism. Harmless? Maybe. But leftist indoctrination nonetheless.

Other people have made this observation as well and have given more detailed analysis. See here:

John Lennon - Imagine (song, 1971)

Lennon's song Imagine has been described as his own "Communist Manifesto." Reading the lyrics, you see that in his utopia, there is no possessions, no religion, no heaven/hell, no greed, etc. Lennon was an admitted communist who sought to end capitalism in America and Britain while getting filthy rich from his music career.

See my thread for further analysis.

Che Guevara Shirts and Posters

The Communist revolutionary leader is a favorite icon of alternative pop-culture today in leftist America. It is common to see t-shirts with the marxist murderer's face whether shopping at the Gap or worn by fellow students in high school. He is worshiped by those who don't even understand what he did. A poster of Che was photographed in one of President Obama's campaign offices.
​

​

Michael Moore - Capitalism (movie, 2009)

Moore, the renowned leftist filmmaker propagandist, has a long list of movies that promote liberal/socialist ideals, and attack our American freedoms. Whether promoting socialist health care or fighting to disarm America, Moore has made a name for himself. Moore is openly anti-capitalist and pro-socialist/pro-communist, so one can only imagine the type of material to be shown in his latest movie, Capitalism: A Love Affair.
​

​

Oliver Stone - Comandante (movie, 2003)

Oliver Stone, the famous Marxist film director, is a big fan of communist dictators. So much so that he has made several movies promoting them. This one is about Fidel Castro, the infamous communist dictator of Cuba, tyrant and murderer of his own people.
​

​

Oliver Stone - Looking For Fidel (movie, 2006)

Stone continues to express his liberal man-crush on Fidel Castro in this documentary, where Stone features a series of interviews with Castro, promoting his dicatorial regime. Below Stone and Castro enjoy a long walk on the beach together, discussing the finer points of totalitarianism and running political prisons.
​

​

Steven Soderbergh - Che (movie, 2008)

Hollywood actor Benitio Del Toro played Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara in this liberal love-affair, Che. The protagonist, of course, helped enslave Cuba with a communist dictatorship. Movies like these are frequently Hollywood favorites and prone to be awarded and commended by fellow Marxists in Hollywood.
​

​

Oliver Stone - South of the Border (movie, 2009)

The limits of director Oliver Stone's leftist love for dictators didn't stop with Fidel Castro. In this movie he promotes the practices of the Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez.

Below we see a picture of Stone and Chavez embracing as Hugo describes his method of silencing the media in his country. Stone fights back tears of joy.

Sheryl Crow - Soak Up The Sun (song, 2002)

The opening lyrics to Sheryl Crow's song Soak up the Sun, begin as follows:

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
​

I'm not sure how to interpret her lyrics, but she didn't put them in the song because the word "communist" was easy to rhyme with. Her seemingly harmless lyrics are just one more stepping stone in lessening the stigma against communism - the antithesis of American liberty and freedom.

As this article writes, its not likely she is a communist or understands their philosophy, but she is a "useful idiot" of the left, promoting a leftist agenda in the form of an otherwise pleasant song.

Lil' Wayne - "Communist" shirt in Jay Sean's music video, "Down" (song, 2009)

Not to comment on the intellectual incapacity of "Lil Wayne," his decision to wear a shirt that says "Communist" demonstrates how celebrities continue to more openly promote communism, whether they understand it or not, and inspire their viewers to do the same. Look for the trendy red "Communist" t-shirts in malls near you, and being worn by neighborhood kids.
​

Das Kapital (Comic, 2008)

Marxist comics also exist for your children's enjoyment.

When Karl Marx alerted economists to the “the knell of capitalist private property” he probably didn’t imagine the phrase cropping-up as a speech bubble in a comic strip for Japanese commuters.

But across the world’s second biggest economy, bookstores from Hiroshima to Hokkaido are preparing for what they expect to be the publishing phenomenon of the year: Das Kapital – the manga version.

The comic, which goes on sale early next month, plays into a growing fascination among Japan’s hard-working labour force with socialist literature and joins a collection of increasingly fierce literary critiques of the global capitalist system.

We honor the anniversary of Communism to take over China. Since then more than 40 Million Chinese people have been slaughtered by their Government. Happy Anniversary.

Communist Chinese Flag Flown over Washington for First Time (2009)

Another instance of us honoring the Chinese Communists. In an unprecedented move, the Chinese Flag was flown at equal height to the American flag in the American capitol city. This breaks the US Flag Code, and has sent many a patriot spinning in his grave.

MSNBC's Chris Matthews declares he is a Marxist on live TV

What self-respecting network would give an admitted Marxist his own show to help spread his ideology and propagandize the masses? MSNBC is who. Being proud to represent the antithesis of all that America stands for is pretty shocking, but not in today's world.

On my way to class last week two guys were handing out copies of the Daily Worker, saying "get your copies of the revolutionary communist paper." Then the signs all over their table, "us imperialists out of iraq and Afghanistan," "support Palestine, down with Israel" and the like.

I'd like some of these people that support this type of society to actually live in those countries and see how they like it.

It is always the same... They never want to live in "Red" China or "Communist" Russia, because those countries never implemented Communism correctly. They see the United States as the perfect breeding ground for the perfect Communist revolution, because... Wait for it... We are rich enough to afford the transition to real Communism.

Well, they can wear all the Commie-Pinko shirts they like, as long I can still wear my "Kill a Commie for Mommy" T shirt!

Hey, I'm all set for Communism...just as soon as a PERFECT communist leader arrives on Earth to run it.

But, until the 2nd coming, I'll keep with a Representative Republic built on the idea of the golden rule.

I disagree with this one, not because I have any personal knowledge of Sheryl Crow's politics, but because the overarching theme of the song is "chill out, relax, don't get so bent out of shape over everything". The verses talk about stressors and stressed people, the chorus talks about relaxing and letting go of the stress. So what I get out of the first verse is that she's got a friend who's a dedicated political activist who spends all his time trying to change the world, while she accepts what she's got (or lacking) and just chillaxes.

Even if Jesus Christ made his 2nd coming to earth, I don't believe He would choose communism. For its renunciation of religion, and "collectively" stealing other people's property, I don't think it could be implemented without breaking some of the Commandments. I like to believe the American form of government was divinely inspired, truly a 5000 Year Leap forward for humanity, from being ruled to being free.

Sheryl Crow is an outspoken liberal. Global Warming is her favorite liberal cause. I like this song, but the "communist" name-drop always bugged me. Why not her friend the Conservative? Sheryl Crow needs to make some new friends

I've always been amused by how fascinated people can be with Communism.
Most of those who romanticize Communism know as much about it as they do about astrophysics. (likely nothing)

Those Hollywood movies about Communist 'heroes' went over like lead balloons. Most people didn't go see them. Michael Moore is no longer relevant.

The Che imagery is the herpes of Communist pop-art. It burns and just won't go away.

I gave a pretty decent short lecture to a buddy in college about how monumentally stupid wearing a Che t-shirt was for a young capitalist rich kid in America.
He had no idea who Che was or what the image really stood for. (much like most people that wear the shirts or have the posters, I'd wager)

He thought it was just 'edgy' and cool. He thought Che was a freedom fighter; he was more than a little surprised to learn the 'murderer of innocents and torturer of political opponents' part of the story.

I also had to explain the irony of wearing a mass-produced ripoff of a copyrighted image made in an Asian sweatshop for consumption by eager, rich, anti-authority American kids (enjoying the fruits of a capitalist economy) of a dude who murdered scores of people and crusaded worldwide for pretty much the exact opposite of those things.
Didn't see him wearing the shirt after that.

The real irony of all this Communist pop-art foolishness is that if they got their uninformed wish and we did form a Communist nation, the educated elite (college grads), talented (artists, musicians, writers, reporters, intellectuals), and anyone that threatened the regime (anti-authority types) would IMMEDIATELY be enslaved, imprisoned, or worse.

Hooray for world history!

-It's T-Shirt HELL guys, they don't promote anything except being edgy and making money. They make it a point to try and **** people off with their shirts, either buy supposedly promoting something that is horrendous or through mockery by taking a worthless ideology too far. My interpretation of the shirt in question is to skewer the idiot NEO Feminists.
