Robin Hood Political Campaign Ad

This is a project we had to do for Government class. It turned out pretty well (except for the low production values) so I put it up on Youtube.

It's a parody of political campaign ads; it's about a bunch of communists stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

What to look for: The Rich Man's face when the soldier gives him the 1 dollar bill, the candidate Greg Will robbing the poor lady, and the soldier pocketing most of the money that was supposed to be given to the poor.

Note: To those who actually got offended by my video, its not a real endorsement of the Communist Party. I also know I greatly oversimplified the doctrine of socialism. Its supposed to be funny and a parody of outrageous political campaign promises. God Bless America!

except in real life what happens is the soldier "redistributes" the money to himself and his political allies. take a look at the history books, folks. people are always the same.

notice is the money redistribution scene how the communist soldier gives the poor lady a few bills, but pockets the rest of the millionaire's money

If you guys arent actually into Socialism or Communism, I highly advise you look into it. In America especially, it is a lot easier to laugh at Socialism or Communism than explore it. And as far as rustycml goes, Communism or Socialism doesnt make rich people poor, thats an ignorant thought. Enjoy yourselves boys and feel free to message me for further information.

I'm sorry that you were either offended or at least amused at my video. It was not serious but actually a humorous clip parodying how political campaigns can water down a candidates message. This was supposed to be a joke about how a commercial about a pragmatic politician who made a complex system like socialism seem so easy that a kindegartener could understand it. Of course, he got the idea wrong.

Anyway, thanks for watching our video and I hope you got at least a good laugh.

Robin hood did not steal from the rich and give to the poor. He recovered stolen money from those who collected taxes (government) and returned it to small farmers and business men.

If only there was no corruption.

robin hood was a bad person. These people are too.

Communism is a synonym of egalitarianism. What you suggest is not egalitarian, and therefore not communist, even if its often been done in the name of 'communism'.

[rustycml]

heh - or a more naive representation at least.

[Spartacus21C]

In fact, there's no such thing as a communist nation. Not just no existing one, although the idea that China or Cuba is somehow left-wing is frankly hilarious, but the very idea of a 'communist nation' is rediculous because communism is internationalist.

[Spartacus21C]

You're right, you couldn't. The Nazis applied the term 'socialism' to their fascism to augment their populist rhetoric and the populist points on their programme (such as a car for every family) which were designed purely to attract people to support them. As soon as they got into power the shallowness of their attempts to appear socialist was immediately apparent to any objective observer.

[Spartacus21C]

You have one rich person and one destitute person. You take half the rich person's money and give it to the destitute person. Now they both have money. - a more accurate representation of communism

Robin Hood was not communist. He was stealing from people who abused their power and stole first from everyone else. He was justifiably reclaiming what was theirs....not stealing rich peoples money to give to bums ont he street.
