Bill Murray’s character in the movie Cradle Will Rock insists repeatedly that “Reds aren’t funny.” He’s wrong. Case in point:
(Via Tzuchien.)A Communist died and since he was a honest man albeit an atheist, he was sentenced to rotate spending one year in Hell and one year in Heaven. One year passed and Satan said to God : “Take this man as fast as possible, because he turned all my minions into Red Guards, I have to restore the order.” Another year passed, Satan meets God again and tells him : “Lord God, it’s my turn now.” The God replied : “First of all, don’t call me Lord God, but instead Comrade God; second, there is no God; and the last thing - don’t distract me or I’ll be late to the Party meeting.”
