I just read an article telling about the relation between Smurfs and Communism i found it interesting and wanted to share with you ( i guess you all know about Smurfs)

S.M.U.R.F. (Soviet Men Under Red Father)

Were the smurfs communists and was the TVshow created to spread communism to the kids of America? Examples:

-Papa Smurf has a wide beard much like Karl Marx, he also dresses in red, the stereotypical color of Communism, He also has ultimate authority.

-They all wear the same thing, with the exception of Papa Smurf, with few accessories. During early period of the Soviet Union and The People's Republic of China they often wore the same thing like a Mao suit in China.

-The Smurfs live in an egalitarian utopia. Each smurf has a particular skill and each performs tasks for the benefit of the community. There is no system of monetary exchange or even barter in the Smurf village. Anything made such as food is equally distributed to each smurf. This is to Marx belief that do your best at your job, and you take what you need. If you can produce 6 loafs of bread a day but your single and only need 1 you only take one. If the lazy bastard next to you sucks at life and can only make 2 loafs of bread a day but has 6 kids he's allowed to take 6 or more loafs of bread.

-Each member of the community is a Smurf, and each has Smurf as a suffix to their own name; this can be seen as analogous to the use of 'comrade.' The Smurfs have a tendency to use the word 'smurf' as a prefix or suffix to many sentences. This could be seen as an identity to create a strong group identity or a way to eliminate influences from other cultures. This is similar to what was practiced under Soviet Russia.

-A true Marxist is an atheist. There is no mention of God in Smurf comics, and there is no Priest Smurf.

and of course Smurfette was a common property of all community, to whose honour the international women's day was smerfly celebrated on 8th March with a red or white carnation.
communism or hippiesm?They collected some weeds

I just want to know why Smurfette was never made to cover up! Living with all those males and not one of them ever had a sexual thought about her? I have my own theories, but they have nothing to do with communism.

Did you ever notice on Scooby Doo, their van the "Mystery Machine". Every time they got out of it a cloud of smoke seeped out. And what about all those Scooby Snacks..I just wonder..

When I lived in the South (Oklahoma) some of the fundamentalist Christians were saying the smurfs were demons. Yes, it makes no sense. What? Because they are are blue? That should have been our first clue. It is a little sketchy since there is no 'mamma smurf' but no one really questions this in most religions so why should they question it in a stupid kids cartoon? People read too much into things sometimes.

Actually the thing abt the Smurfs being communists is true as the comic was developped during Russian communism as I have been told and it was really appealing to russian kids.


Latest news-my students informed me that Spongebob is gay,his boyfriend is Patrick.

well this is not related to communism or topic. But that conversation at the movie Donnie Darko about smurfs was so funny.. so wanted to share with you... well there are some vulgar words..but sorry i am too lazy and ill to cencor them

Ronald Fisher: We gotta find ourselves a Smurfette.
Sean Smith: Smurfette?
Ronald Fisher: Yeah, not some tight-ass Middlesex chick, right? Like this cute little blonde that will get down and dirty with the guys. Like Smurfette does.
Donnie: Smurfette doesn't fuck.
Ronald Fisher: That's bullshit. Smurfette fucks all the other Smurfs. Why do you think Papa Smurf made her? Because all the other Smurfs were getting too horny.
Sean Smith: No, no, no, not Vanity. I heard he was a homosexual.
Ronald Fisher: Okay, then, you know what? She fucks them and Vanity watches. Okay?
Sean Smith: What about Papa Smurf? I mean, he must get in on all the action.
Ronald Fisher: Yeah, what he does, he films the gang-bang, and he beats off to the tape.
Donnie: [shouts] First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those little, white pants. It's just so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. You know, what's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?
Sean Smith: [pause] Dammit, Donnie. Why you gotta get all smart on us?

in this serious discussion we should mention all fairy tales that carry wrong meaning depriving children from right path of adults's values.In my country such list has already been created pointing out homosexual ones))))
