Workers Of The World, Untie!

Hopefully, The Leftists Will Keep Sparring With Each OtherMaybe the reason a community organizer could rise to the highest office in the land is that, well, the leftist community has always been in great need of organization. The trouble with socialism, as Maggie Thatcher said, is that you eventually run out of other people's money... but the trouble with socialists seems to be that they can't ever agree on which of them is best suited for totalitarian leadership of the Utopia they envision.
"We want to soak the rich!" cries one faction. "No, WE want to soak the rich!" cries the other. "But, we'll give their money to noble causes!" goes Faction One. "Nuh-uh, WE will give their money to much MORE noble causes!" goes Faction Two. "Oh yeah?" goes Faction One, "Well, we'll totally take ALL of the money from the rich, and give it to poor people, who will only have to work part-time in air-conditioned comfort!" "So?" goes Faction Two, "We'll serve breakfast in bed to everyone, nobody'll have to work at all, and those millionaires and billionaires will pay for it!"
Factions Three through Seventy-Four, meanwhile, are having their own squabbles... though some of them are in the rest room at Starbucks and unavailable for comment.
Eventually, they have to solve it by force: see National Socialists versus Communists, Germany, early twentieth century. But before they get out the guns, it's all the sort of good clean fun you see at any Occupy X gathering, Comedy Central writers' session, or university faculty meeting. Who's the most liberal? Who's heart bleeds bluest? Who's got the real secret sauce for "radical transformation" of the U.S., and the world? As long as nobody's busy working, or trying to run a business, or perpetrating other such crazy "Republican" capers, there's plenty of time for this entertaining Battle of the Arm Bands (until somebody puts out an eye).
You'll like this: Recently, some television producers (they're in charge of imprinting leftist themes in your family's minds after supper and all weekend) ran afoul of some Occupiers (they're in charge of shouting those leftist themes on the streets downtown, so nobody can hear on the telephone). Seems they were attempting to shoot a scene in downtown New York - with a permit, and everything - which depicted the Occupiers in a way they (the Occupiers) didn't like. The two factions squabbled, of course, with the end result being the revocation of the producers' permit and cancellation of the episode.
Dang! We'll never know what that show would've been like! But we do know how the "show" turned out in Germany all those years ago. Heh heh heh. Enjoy it, America! Enjoy the current comedy portion of the show! Now, THAT's entertainment.
