Ultimate Rebranding: USSR v2.0
Today marks the 90th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. I heard an NPR report that didn't sugarcoat the communists' bloody deeds, until it found Russians who took the Hugo Chavez line with Stalin -- wow, what a unique guy.
I've been thinking that in today's moonbat environment, President Vlad Putin should think about bringing back the brand of the USSR. He's already got a de facto milder version of it, with repression of free speech and the press and state control of industries. With some creativity, he could revive the USSR label and win wild acclaim from the West.
Think of him sitting there in the Kremlin, muttering, "Sean Penn and all the other stars go see that stuffed cabbage Chavez in Venezuela. What's he know about power? Venezuela? That place would be lost on the steppes here. Why doesn't Naomi Campbell come see me?? It's not FAIR!"
I bet a repackaged USSR could make Putin the superhip figurehead of global lefties. He's got 90 years of history to build on, to pitch to people who appreciate the implacable exercise of socialist power against capitalism and the Fascists and their boot-licking toadies.
The pitch practically writes itself: Free health care, employment, socialized management of industry, housing, abortions for everybody, friendship of peoples and protection of minority rights and cultures, stood up for the Cuban revolution against those evil capitalists in Washington who wanted to destroy Castro, Paul Robeson liked us, subsidies for artists, supported (via Communist front groups) progressives in the U.S., women's rights.
The USSR said all that and more and useful idiots in the West ate it up and asked for seconds. If Putin talks a good game, he could send Hugo packing and assume his rightful place in the vanguard of the nutroot proletariat.
He might even get invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention.

You know if you were into it, you might distill (some of) the Ten Commndments into an essence and come up with Thou shall not murder father or mother. Susbstitue 'the reality principle of father' for 'capitalism' and you have got 'appreciate the implacable exercise of socialist power against father and those who support the reality principle,' and you can imagine why it is so much forbidden fun to be part of the nutroots.
