10 Upsides to Socialism
Babylon Bee ^ | 12/14/22 | Babylon Bee

Posted on 12/15/2022 12:40:42 PM PST by EnderWiggin1970

When socialism arrives, you're going to want to be ready to "look at the glass as half-full" – even if the glass is empty or even if there is no glass! Here are 10 new perspectives you can adopt in the glorious socialist utopia that will help you make the best of things!

1. You can finally meet your weight loss goal: If current trends hold, you'll be down to a slim, girlish 75 pounds by end-of-year!
2. Your wife will be limited to only a couple of decorative pillows: Save the leather couch cushions to boil into this year's neighborhood stone soup festival!
3. Kids aren't nearly as noisy when they're dehydrated: For big families living under socialism, silver linings abound!
4. Everyone is happy: It helps that the complainers seem to just disappear!
5. You'll meet all kinds of nice people while standing in line: Broaden your horizons. Or should we say "breaden" your horizons? Eh? EH?
6. No election fraud: It's easier when there are no elections!
7. No long lines at Starbucks: It's easier when there's no Starbucks!
8. You get to choose from one of two exciting books at the public library: Das Kapital by Marx and Becoming by Michelle Obama. What more do you need?
9. No more depressing news: The state news media is always so positive about how the government is doing – it lifts the spirits of any patriotic citizen!
10. You won't feel lonely anymore: Big Brother will always be with you!

It's all about perspective – just remember to look on the bright side – or else!

Remember the Trabant https://silodrome.com/trabant-car/

“East Germans would often place an order for a Trabant either when their baby was born or when their child first entered school, this way by the time the child was a young adult their car might be ready for delivery.”

You will not have to make any decisions as all choices will be made for you.

Anyone remember the Soviet fashion show commercials that Wendy's ran in the '80s? One of the best ads around promoting the choices that Wendy's customers had to customize their orders compared to McDonald's.

and taxes you to death for worthless social programs, for having
the animals originally.

economic development and social organization, but they’re so full
of bullshit, nothing ever changes.
You still have 2 cows.

You have 2 cows.
The State forces you to give one to your neighbor, shoots the neighbor
and forces you to milk them both, giving all milk back to the state.
The State gives you a cup of sour milk.

You have 2 cows.
The State terrrorizes the animals until they can’t produce milk,
beats you and your wife to death, and puts your daughters & sons
into the Pedophile Nation, for the Epsteins, Weiners, Clintons etc.

You have 2 cows.
The government takes both and tosses you into a hog pen, where you’re
devoured and never found.

You have 2 cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
