Karl Marx's Birthday - Happy 185 years Communism!

[Harmless Games]

May 5th is Karl Marx's birthday! 185 years of Communist Ideals! Also for our Mexican Comrades happy Cinco de mayo!

[Comrade Gorley]

I have an idea for a perfect celebration:

A cake with Marx's face in icing on the top. Over each candle is a tiny upside down American flag. Besides Marx, the colours of the icing are red, yellow, and white.

And "Happy Birthday" is sung to a broken record playing "The Star Spangled Banner". :cool:

Happy Birthday, Karl Ol' Buddy! :cheesy:

[Dirty Commie]

Only the star spangled banner on the electric guitar is suitable for this occasion.

the soviet is not the reincarnation of Marx, Becaese his reincarnate would be born on the opposite day of the year than him.

(instead of the 4th month, the eighth, and the... screw it, i'm right he's wrong)

Interesting... is this the traditional belief of reincarnation? (Forgive my naiveity.)

[Dirty Commie]

I have no damn clue, I am an atheist and don't believe in that crap, it was meant to be a joke.

[Comrade Gorley]

Of course it's crap, but is the traditional belief the opposite day of the year? Or was that just a random statement?

And if so, how does "opposite day'' work?

(And please don't think I'm actually considering that this is true, but I enjoy reading old myths, ie the reasons for superstitions.)

[VivoFidel]

Technically, on opposite day you would not be living, and nothing would exist, anything that does not exist would exist so oppostie day would, in a sense be the apocolypse.:wink:

LOL! Epa! Now I'll celebrate the 5th with even more joy! A couple of years ago, the people that does the 'Batalla de Puebla' representation here in México got drunk and that time the French won. So, if we lose again this year, I'll only celebrate for Karl's bday.

[Solzhenitsyn]

185 years of communism and 110 million people dead from it. That's . . . let's see . . . only 594,594 people killed for every year of communism's existence. Wow, such true humanitarians you all are.

[CubanFox]

Remember, Stalinism is not communism. It's personally styled dictatorship.

[Moskitto]

the black book of communism only estimated 92 million, however the black book of capitalism estimated 300 million deaths from capitalism since 1800, making 1.5 million deaths each year...

With slight elements of communism, or at least building off a communist society (which were both what Stalin did).

The only date that I would celebrate, with respect to Marx, is the day of his death. Marx was a putrid son of a *****, a poor father, and a promoter of the most evil ideology. Marx's ideology ranks right up there with Islamic fundamentalism and Nazism. Too bad he did not die a slow painful death, for I would have celebrated that as well.

Well, I find it odd that you say "with respect to Marx" considering the rest of what you said. Nevertheless, celebrating his "death" would be useless, as, like Che and Lenin, he is hardly dead; the spirit that encompassed him is still alive and active. For instance, today I burned a small American flag in his memory. Capitalism, particularly backed by patriotism, is truly the most evil ideology, as any intellectual (or minority) who opposed it is crushed, and un-fairness continues.

KILL THE WESTERN CAPPIES!
