Earth Day: Bush Shovels Earth In Punishment

Earth Day:
a day of action to save the earth from farmers, ranchers, mining, timber, oil, chemical companies, and anyone else who seeks to utilize the earth's resources to enhance, enrich, and extend the lives of Americans and others worldwide. Characterized by the media's massive awareness drive to (a) remind the world that American capitalists are raping the earth and stealing its riches, thus causing all of the planet's environmental problems; (b) advocate a greater government control of land, resources, and industries; and (c) increase the constantly growing white male guilt levels. A great way to politicize spring cleaning and give an ideological rationalization for the rebirth of nature.

Earth Day: Bush Shovels Earth In Punishment

The picture above, taken off the government website EarthDay.gov, documents the punishment that a coalition of progressive activists imposed on the neo-imperialistic criminal George Bush as part of International Earth Day celebration April 22nd.

The original Earth Day was celebrated in San Francisco on March 21, 1970 on the initiative of John McConnell who on his site explains that March 21 is the date to celebrate Easter, Equinox, and Earth at the same time. Why was then official Earth Day moved to April 22, who moved it and when? The official Earth Day Network does not mention the switch. But then it doesn't mention Orwell's 1984 either.

The Earth Day idea was picked up by all progressive organizations, as it was a great way to politicize the rebirth of nature and provide ideological underpinning for spring cleaning activities. In fact it was so progressive that it could no longer be associated with Easter. Earth Day had to be moved further away from religion and closer to communism.

The first Communist Earth Day organized by Lenin on his own birthday, April 22, 1919, in the Kremlin Apart from raising our awareness about capitalism as the source of the world's troubles, Earth Day is a celebration of uncompensated collective work for the Greater Good. Thus both Earth Day and Subbotnik coincided on so many levels that it was only logical to combine them into one holiday. The Left had already taken over the environmental movement in the past, now they took over Earth Day and turned it into a communist holiday. That was not so hard to do, considering that international progressive movements own the American mass media and educational establishments.

April 22 is known in Russia as Lenin's birthday and is traditionally celebrated by uncompensated shoveling of earth. The event is called the Communist Subbotnik, or the Sacrificial Earth Shoveling Day. On a Saturday around that day all workers, peasants, and toiling intelligentsia are supposed to donate to the Worker's State a day of free labor - either at workplace or on communal property - cleaning streets, digging earth in public parks and lawns, etc. It is a good educational experience for the proletarians, reinforcing in them true communist values - sacrifice through hard uncompensated labor, humility, and respect for authority of the Party's founder. It also provides a metaphysical experience wherein the proletarians can reach the state of spiritual enlightenment as motes of a vast collective. Vodka also helps. Russian government officials celebrate Lenin's Birthday by ritualistic shoveling of earth in front of their office.

Thus we, the progressive forces, have made the whole world, including George Bush, unwittingly celebrate Lenin's birthday, and participate in the Subbotnik. This is similar to what we did with Klara Zetkin's International Women's Day on March 8. In related news, the Progressive Caucus is developing legislation to move Thanksgiving to November 7, the day of Bolshevik Revolution that brought Communism to Russia .
