Pinko Tries to Sell the Benefits of Communism with Promises of... Bigger Pockets on Womens Jeans?

Paul Sakuma

One of the major tactics that Communists have used over the years to win adherents to their cause has been to promise the moon to people if they'll sign on to supporting their utopian economic programs, regardless of how silly or highly unlikely the thing being promised is. You point to historical instances of Communism and say 'Hey, wait a minute, that didn't happen then!" and they mostly just ignore you or at best start huffing about how 'Well, that wasn't REAL Communism, you know.'

Normally these kind of pie-in-the-sky promises take the form things like promises that you'll be able to live your dream of being a poet or a painter because no one has to go to an office from 9-5 or work as a garbage man in utopian Communist countries apparently, but sometimes the promises are more mundane everyday things... like apparently women getting jeans with bigger pockets.

Now we'll give the benefit of the doubt that maybe this was intended as a joke, but if so it was a particularly bad one... especially when one looks at the track record Communist nations have had in providing jeans to their people at all.

Yes, generally when one is hoping to win hearts and minds it's best to steer clear from doing so with promises of products that your radical ideology is somewhat infamous for having been incapable of providing. Just a thought.

And the reason why jeans were so popular in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc is hilarious in itself.

One of the reasons that Communists tend to be resistant to actually learning (or acknowledging) the history of Communist countries is because when you look at them they tend to be absurd in the extreme. But next time it'll work as planned, they just know it.

Of course many people popped in to point out the inherent absurdity of having bigger pockets in your jeans in a Communist country for obvious reasons...

Or rocks probably, dirt. Stuff Communists can just find around because they don't tend to be good at actually making stuff.

Real 'workers paradise', right?

Such egalitarianism! 

This is just stupid, but then again if Communists weren't either incredibly stupid or corrupt they probably wouldn't be Communists.
