The Victims of Communism Memorial
Foundation recently released a report revealing that American’s attitudes
towards Communism are changing, and quickly at that. The Foundation wrote, “It
seems that the majority of America’s largest generation [Millennials] would
prefer to live in a socialist or communist society than in a free enterprise
system that respects the rule of law, private property, and limited
government.” The foundation added that this “is even more disconcerting” when
coupled with the fact that they don’t know what those terms mean.
In
any case, I’d be remiss if I failed to recognize the 100th
anniversary of the establishment of the first Communist state. Commies, I
didn’t get you all a (red) cake, but, my gift is my song…and, channeling my
inner Elton, this one’s for you!
It’s ’17 for a
moment
Got dead
monarchists aplenty
And we’re just
scheming
Counting the
bodies near and far
It’s ’22 for a
moment
Red looks better
than ever
And we’re on
fire
Making our way
back from Tsars
Stalin there’s
still time for you
Time to lie and
to accuse
Marxists,
there’s never a wish better than this
When you’ve only
got a hundred years to kill
It’s ’63 for a
moment
Khrushchev’s the
man in this nuclear age
Crisis on the
way
Calamity on his
mind
It’s ’49 for a
moment
The PRC has
arrived
Putting Taiwan
into a crisis
Two-and-a-half
million more have died
Chairman Mao
there’s still time for you
Time to lie and
to kill all those
With whom you
disagree
Xinping will be
coming soon
Chairman,
there’s never a wish better than this
When you’ve only
got a hundred years to kill
The time goes by
And we realize
That in the
blink of an eye
Ronald Reagan is
gone
And they’re all
getting high
As moveon.org
carries on
We’re
ninety-nine for a moment
Dying for just
another bloodbath
As we are
scheming
Counting the
ways to where you are
Mugabe there’s
still time for you
Mao Zedong we
need you too
Pol Pot, Castro,
you too “Che”
Killing Fields
don’t go away
Kim Jong-un
there’s still time for you
Time to bribe, missiles to let loose
Communists,
there’s never a wish better than this
When you’ve got
one hundred million souls to kill
(To the tune “100
Years,” by the Canadian rock band Five
for Fighting. My heartfelt apologies to their great lyricist John
Ondrasik).
