Who’s there?

Lettuce

Lettuce who?

Lettuce in and you’ll find out!

Why didn’t the skeleton go to the dance?

Because it didn’t have any body to go with

Did anyone watch Liquid Television?

For the drum machine, definitely! But we largely kept to our tempo or maybe double. It was a free gig and we were getting paid in beers. I think it was pretty funny for the audience too. Great night.

I used to sing in a post punk band. We had a drum machine. In the middle of one gig, the drum machine spazzed out and deleted all the internal memory, and started a 600bpm bossa nova loop. We played right through to the end.

Well, from where you’re standing, everyone’s a leftie.

Hmmmm. And Shintoism?

Edit: I’m being cheeky. Looks like religion turns itself into tribalism when a certain population point is reached.

Buddhism is pretty alright though, isn’t it?

Authoritarianism != Communism

Communism is about the power of the working class, seizing the means of production, and self governance. No government has effectively put into practice communist practices because the concept of government itself is contrary to communism.

There’s been a decades long movement in the US to demonise communism (and socialism) in favour of capitalism. There used to be overtly communist political groups in America.

Anyway, it’s an interesting read. I highly recommend you read up about communism and what it stands for. Also capitalism because we’re all more or less living in a crony capitalist world.

Hmmmm. That kind of sounds like corrupt rich people.

Nope. Depends on the parent. I still got beat up in the 80s/90s for closing the door too loudly, hitting my brother, waking mum up from an afternoon nap etc. It stopped when I was 17 because I was big enough to hit back (though I never did).
