As this is apparently required by Stephen: neither of those people are or claimed to be Communists (though arguably both claimed to be 'socialists' though not in the sense that most people would understand the term in the West). That said, the rest of your post is actually surprisingly accurate.

I give you a B+ and a smiley face.

Well, I was meaning that people misassociate the term. I used the wrong era in my example though .

Yes that and the "billions" figure. He's either been watching to much Cosmos now that it's on Hulu or the Octomom has almost depleted her supply of eggs in the terraforming station.

...You know, he's right probably right though. Communism is nothing but a bad word for most people. Hitler? He was bad right? Communist! Saddam? Well he's the man that flew the planes into the WTC remember? Communist!

This is America, we don't worry about trivial things like the meaning of the words we use, we've got money to make.

The wrong era? I did not realise that Hitler and Saddam Hussein were active at the same time....

Turns out Smurfs are hedonists not communists. Over 2500 spotted in one night club. http://www.telegraph...in-Swansea.html

I thought he wanted to catch the smurfs to gain "gold" not turn them into it..

Swear blind he caught them one time and attmepted to have a "circus"/ "freekshow" and brainy smurf worked with a couple of others and they escaped. anywho, I guess I dreamt a lot when I was a kid.

Patently, the Smurfs were NOT communists. If they had been communists, they'd have been red, not blue.

Didn't they dress in red

They were once frozen, thus their blue color. Their color didn't return to normal red when they thawed, so Papa Smurf wears the red to remember their origins and the others wear white to remind them of the cold suffering they endured (and since they couldn't tell one another apart, to help Papa Smurf easiest to recognize since he was their controlling government).
