The Communist Manifesto illustrated by carttons. This is an homage to the latent subversiveness of cartoons. Though U.S. cartoons are usually thought of as conveyors of capitalist ideologies of consumerism and individualism, Drew observes: "Somehow as an avid childhood fan of cartoons, these ideas were secondary to a more important lesson—that of the 'trickster' nature of many characters as they mocked, outwitted and defeated their more powerful adversaries. In the classic cartoon, brute strength and heavy artillery are no match for wit and humor, and justice always prevails. For me, it was natural to link my own childhood concept of subversion with an established, more articulate version [Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto]. Mickey running over the globe has new meaning in today's mediascape, in which Disney controls one of the largest concentrations of media."
@perfectfailure23 of the Austrian school to be specific.

Marx never grew up. He got by on money stolen from his father and given to him by Engels. Engels even ghost wrote for him so he could send articles to different publications and make a little scratch. This is the guy we're supposed to look up to? He hates the powerful capitalist but loves the powerful state. Don't be lied to by the left or the right, we are not living in capitalism in the U.S. powerful ties between the state and business is fascism. You want hope? You want capitalism.

@formerevolutionist no i do not recoil in horror when facing the right. fight or flight dictates fight. i genuinely wish you the best. just hope you recognize the selfishness at the base of the right. the middle class tops the list of entitlement programs with nearly 40% of entitlement dollars. if you include the high-income tax breaks in the #s those one %ers would be the winners with over 50%. so i hope you don't mean the poor are the parasites. or the blacks. or fags. or atheists. or muslims.

@hachelbraugh Why do you assume you are the only one that can think for himself and is not fooled by propaganda? I suggest that you actually research what conservatives, capitalists, and other right-wing people are about instead of recoiling in horror when presented with right-wing "propaganda". The only parasites are the ones who are draining the economy with entitlement programs.

@kitchendk and you realize that the communist manifesto was written by marx and engels in the 1840's not as a textbook, but as easily circulated and understood informative reading material for the working class of germany. it obviously doesnt apply to us now as private ownership of government is not an issue in america. there is no ruling class. we are created equal and if you don't have the means to get into the political arena thats because you are lazy. people with more money work harder. duh

@formerevolutionist no television here as well. i am just so used to idiots that only recycle propaganda and have no thoughts of their own. i work in an industry full of these kind of people as i supply electrical contractors with tools and materials, etc. it isn't your fault that you've been fooled by the right wing idealogues. what they have done is presented you with a red herring. you are fooled by the smell of the stinky fish, so turn your back to the parasites that are cannibalizing you.

@hachelbraugh Thanks! I need a lot of luck with my business since the government has interfered with it. I only have one employee, and she takes home more money than I do, so I don't have to worry about her leaving. As for fox news, I don't even have a television, let alone cable television. I don't watch very much fox at all, so I don't even know what propaganda they offer. I guess you feel that you are educated and enlightened because you watch CNN other left-wing networks.
