Socialism Is Funny


Wonderful blog that I've been following for a while: A Soviet Poster A Day

For a long time I had a Franco-era poster on my wall; it said, "En él que sabe de la grandeza de nuestro mañana, no cabe el pesimismo," in front of a burly, salt-of-the-earth man and a burly, salt-of-the-earth woman looking forward with determination. I'm not sure why socialism makes me so happy.

Today in Middle East History to 1800, two people behind me were arguing about school vouchers. I was considering turning around and supporting the antivoucher guy, but then he said, "Well, that's socialism, so we can't do it," to provoucher gal. What?! Like the entire public education program isn't based on a socialist ideal!

In other news, the happiest populations in the world live in Nigeria and Mexico.

I posted another response, but this time as a post of my own.
I'd love to take the time to relate why I agree that socialism is funny, but for the same reasons that it is funny to watch a guy get jacked in his grill for saying something stupid, but I am really very tired. Can I have a deadline extension until tomorrow?

Thanks for understanding :)
