There is one important primary reason why I had turned communist from social democrat from capitalist: I am no longer worker-alienated. I am given importance. Mao, Lenin and Stalin always mention me in their speeches. I feel good. Ethical considerations are given preference. When I am late, my communist master just passes some humourous anectdotes which makes me work harder inspired by his kind words. My work is given importance. Hence, like the great Che Guevara, if I am made to work Sunday and Saturday without overtime pay, I do it like him.

What are we inside capitalist fiefdom? Scums of the earth! Not given worth except that on Labor day we are being cajoled to strive more. Hence, more profits for my greedy capitalist father whose concubines number more than the number of my fingers!
