A new book that sells the concept of Communism in the simple terms of a childrens story has failed to sell on Amazon.com except in the category for true believers.

]
Scathing customer reviews give the book a rating of only 1.7 out of 5 stars, with comments noting communism has killed over 60 million people and asking, If Communism is so great why are they selling the book. Isnt that capitalism?

Universities often act as publishing houses for a few books every year, primarily scholarly works. This ghastly thing is obviously a political statement.
