it's illegal to wear pants without a belt
When I was 12 years old, my 7th grade history teacher presented the idea that Communism was not so different from the teachings of Jesus- you heard right- Jesus and Communism; one and the same. Every kid who was in a Christian religion class at the time nearly lynched the bastard, while all the Jewish kids were looking at each other saying, "Jesus... do I know that guy? Damn, it sounds familiar..." Mr. Alfani, realizing that he had just opened a highly controversial political/religious discussion in a 7th grade social studies class immediately retracted his statement and actually said the words, "Don't tell your parents I said Jesus was a communist".
Six years later, I'm sitting at work in the SUNY Potsdam student mailroom, and I have way too much extra room in my brain for thinking because this job is INCREDIBLY MINDLESS. I begin to think about how fantastic the true principles of communism are... everyone is equally provided for... which means that there's no such thing as destitute Cassie because I'm no less financially ept than anyone else! I remember Mr. Alfani's analysis of communism...
Jesus may not have been a communist, but I'll tell you what; he sure shares a lot in common with communist leaders. First of all, both Christianity and Communism are used as the easy way out for people who don't want to go to Hell or work overtime. Second of all, they both start with a 'c'. Third, the people who are the most faithful followers of these concepts tend to be the ones who have it ALL WRONG. Examples: priests who molest children and communist dictators... isn't the whole idea of communism based on complete equality? Why- OH WHY then is the asshole who puts the whole things together always cracking the whip for years after everything is up and running? Fourth, there's always that opposing, financially competitive/stingy group. In the case of Communism, it's the capitalists, in the case of Christianity, it's the Jews. Fifth, when things go awry for either of these followings, the leader always gets f-ed over. Examples: Jesus was crucified, Hitler killed himself before anyone else could- then everyone said that he had brainwashed them...
There's always a group of extremists who take everything about the concepts of Christianity and Communism entirely too seriously. Born-again Christians and several brands of Catholics have been known to condemn anything and everything that doesn't have God's name or symbol on it. You know there's a problem when you think Harry Potter is trying to steal your children's souls. Marxism was originally contrived with the idea of eliminating competition for financial superiority... now whenever we hear the word communist we back away like we've encountered the plague because of Hitler and Stalin and their totalitarian states which they falsely advertised as communist states...
::sigh:: silly tyrants with their gas chambers and... secret police...
You might be asking yourself, "Is she serious?" The answer, as always, is no. These are just a few of the thoughts that cross my mind when I've nothing better to waste it on. I should definitely smoke crack and kill off all the neurons that cause such thoughts.
Happy Easter from my mom.

only Molly is laughing now...
