Communism and Socialism Humor March 16, 2019 by Dan Mitchell

There’s nothing funny about communism and socialism in the real-world.

The totalitarian version is horrifying and brutal, while the benign version is “merely” debilitating to economic performance and vitality.

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t enjoy some laughs by mocking these awful ideologies.

We’ll start today’s collection with a look at socialism vs. democratic socialism.

I actually think there is a real difference between Marxist socialism and liberal socialism, but I also think economic coercion and political coercion are kissing cousins.

Our next bit of satire reminds me of Venezuela. Chavez and Maduro chose the option on the right.

Next we have examples of false advertising (though I’m sure we’ll be told that “real socialism” and “real communism” haven’t been tried.

Let’s close today’s edition with a tribute to Crazy Bernie.

While I enjoy Bernie-focused humor (see here, here, here, here, here, and here), I have to point out that the above image, while amusing, isn’t accurate.

Michael Moore and Chavez’s daughter also have huge bank accounts.
