Is this for real? How many of these people do you think know anything about Communism?

"Hi. I'm Jimmy. I enjoy writing... building homes.... peanuts... being an American.... and commies are My enemy."

This is just silly. Those that are employed, do their employers know? Do you put that on an application applying for a private sector job? What's a commie doing working at a retail shop anyway?

I'm Tabula, I enjoy long walks on the beach, puppies, apple-cheeked children, Friedrich Hayek, Bill Buckley, and Victor Davis Hanson. And, by the way, I'm a conservative. I also enjoy not having my phone tapped, the freedom to vote in a two party system, and the right to succeed (or fail).

Environmental scientist communist. Knock me over with a feather. Seemed to be a lack of Cuban expatriate communists on that video. I wonder why that is?

This is actually really inspiring. Could make for a great anti-communist video.

  • Hi! I'm Mao. I love noodles, poppies, long marches, and toad drinking water...and I'm a communist.
  • Hi, I'm Stalin. I like architecture, I enjoy using photoshop, I'm a master bank robber, and I like to see Ukrainians starve...and I'm a communist!
  • Hi, I'm Saloth, but you can call me Pol Pot. I love French literature and I'm a huge fan of agrarian collectivization...and I'm a communist.

Did they say I'm a communist or I'm a californian ? Couldn't quite make it out, they all look like Californians.

Hard to tell anymore with all these different cells.

Yep. It's for real. I found it on The Blaze, but apparently it first appeared on the CPUSA's Houston chapter website. Incredible, huh?

I am simply dumbfounded...

"Hi! I'm a commie!"

Why??? What is the point? I hate to spit in your borscht, but the Soviet Union collapsed twenty years ago. Maybe you missed the memo from the Kremlin. I mean, if you are going to pick a political horse to ride, you ought to at least make sure that the thing is breathing.

These clowns are lost so deep in left field that Jesus Himself could not find them with a telescope.

My reaction exactly! After the third or fourth person, I thought: no way, this is too farcical, someone is doing this as a joke (I mean, come on--the guy who sings in his church choir!).

But Marybeth has confirmed its authenticity...

Memo #2796

From: Johann Rojo -- Communications Chair Communist Party USA

Re: Script for upcoming recruitment video to be distributed by "hip" You Tube marketer.

Make sure that your members read the following script into the camera and send them in for editing.

Hi! My name is (insert name here) and I like (insert things that you would be forbidden from doing in a Communist regime here) and (insert other bourgeois activities that prevent you from being a proper part of the species being here) and I am a Communist!

If the member notices the irony of what they are saying, make sure that the become "forgotten" as discussed in Memo #231.

A earlier video we haven't seen yet:

Hi, my name's Frank.

I live in Honolulu. I like jazz clubs, and booze and drugs and women.

This is my young friend, Barry. I'm teaching him all about oppression perpetrated on our people by the running dogs of capitalism. Barry's going to college in L.A. soon. He wants to fundamentally transform America some day.

Oh yes, and I'm a Communist.

". . .my turn-ons are flower arranging, classical guitar and crushing the kulaks."

Just interleave some actual communist news footage taken more or less at random--East Berliners being gunned down; Soviet tanks rolling in Eastern Europe; that little defense of socialism in Tiananmen Square; skulls littering the Killing Fields--and this would become an excellent instructional video on the pernicious effects of willful ignorance on otherwise nice people.

Excellent suggestion, Savage.

If I knew how I'd do it.

One of the comments above indicated that the poster does not believe that communism is any longer a threat. If I remember correctly from economics, Socialism and Communism are the same thing. The difference between Socialists and Communists being simply a difference in their means to the same end. So, whenever we're pointing out the Marxist tendencies of our administration and its policies, we are pointing out that we are on the road to Communism. Communism is not a dead horse, neither here nor in many parts of the globe.

btw, the video followed the same format as ads for Mormonism - strange coincidence or is this common? I dont' have a tv and really don't know.
