The Ism of the Commune
A paper on Communism and the Left Wing
By Wonks The Fox, for Karamerm
Communisim is just what the name suggests. An ism, based around a commune. Communism first started back when hippies made it big. That's because they spent most of their time in a commune, and thus the ism was born.
Now contrary to popular belief, communism is not about death camps, or oppression, or hunger, or even Russia or China. Communism is about free love, venereal disease (but in a good way), and acid trips.
Most people think that communism is associated with the colour red because of the negative connotations of the colours of the Russian and Chinese flags back when they did their mean thing. Not true. Communism (the ism of communes) is associated with red because it is the colour of love. And especially free love. The kind hippies like.
Unfortunately communism is not all fun and games. This is where the left wing comes in. These hippies in these communes mostly subscribed to a leftist way of thinking because it meant they didn't have to go to war, didn't have as many governmental sanctions, and could continue all the free love making. Good on them for that, I say. Good on them for that.
However, communism lost favour when the hippies were no longer in favour either. Through the sad developments of veneral diseases (in a bad way) free love was no longer practical. Mostly becuase hippies couldn't afford condoms, didn't believe in them or were allergic to rubber. A sad genetic anomaly passed on to their numerous offspring due to all their free love. So the hippies had to leave their communes, because of bad things that happened in the world. And because Madonna ushered in a new trend in music and their happy bird songs were no longer popular.
Communes still exist today, however they exist in a capacity much diminished from the original intention of the original hippies, and therefore does not exhibit true Communism, but rather Communism Light. The Light Communist is usually a yuppie who has bought into the health-food craze and has decided to pay a portion of money to upkeep a farm, grocery store, or sometimes--albeit unwittingly--a drug ring. These farms, natural grocery stores, and drug rings are run by the former true Communists, who look askance on these Light Communists, but continue with their business in order to promote their own welfare.
Communism has been through many changes, and it varies from commune to commune. But I think it can safely be said, that the ism of communes, in various forms and derivitatives is here to stay.
P.S.- Dear Professor: I'm a closet hippy. If you give me an A you may get to find out just how free my love really is
