The People's Cube - Political Satire

Greetings Komrades, from Down Under, where we yearn for the fascist dictator John HoWARd to be overthrown by the revolution in November (elections). Our new hope Kevin Ruddy isn't the ideal pin up for the Socialist movement (he speaks way too nicely for a working class struggle representative) but he's the best we've got.

Unless of course, the Oz-strayun people come to their senses and elect me, Beezelbob Brown, leader of the Green Revolution, as King of Stray-ya.

Where was I? Oh yes, since irrelevance is an acceptable practice for our ilk I want to post something in this thread which has absolutely nothing to do with the thread's article on the Iraqi President thingy (see above). Besides, we don't talk about the Iraq thing in Stray-ya. We prefer to talk about more important things like how to stop people having electricity or disposing of irrelevant unborn humans or how to allow people to marry animals.

Where was I? Oh yes, I recently heard a wonderful song by Party approved Pop Queen Pink. Working class in Stray-ya, much like Amerikka, revere creative arts people simply because they're on TV. Therefore anything they say must be truth. Pink's song "Dear Mr. President" is a classic piece of revolutionary, anti-Bush/Capitalist thought, penned by an authoritative, credible, well-adjusted, informed, creative arts hero.

I was wondering if any of the gifted komrades from The People's Cube have done or will attempt to create their own lyrics to this marvellous song? I have tried but failed, partly because I have no talent whatsoever but also because the song doesn't seem to have any rhythmic, melodic flow, any coherence, or indeed any recognisable musical structure to it at all. Which doesn't matter because musical coherence and structure is a bourgeois koncept and the lyrics are too magical for it to matter.

Here are the real lyrics if you need them:

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?

=sniff, sob= where would we be without the kreative arts?? We wouldn't be able to think at all!! You go girl, you tell big bad bully Bush how he's never worked a day in his life, unlike you of course. You got unwantedly pregnant to several record company execs to get where you are and bullies like Bush want to stop you from getting rid of the unwanted fetuseseses! Testify!!!!!!

Excuse me, I'm too moved to talk.

Please feel free to post this in a more appropriate thread, as long as you bear in mind my inability to deal with authority.

Fair dinkum Comrade! Welcome to Party Headquarters! It is always good to hear progressive news from the bottom of the world. (BTW, we know that contrary to the imperialist "scientists" who try to fool the people into believing there is no up or down in space, that Australia is the bottom for the Algore, the smartest man who ever lived and High Priest of the Immaculate Church of Global Warming has declared it so.) So your comrades are planning a paddock bash for Howard eh? Eggselent!

Now don't worry a bit about an inability to deal with authority, the Many Titted Empress will take care of that in good time. Before long, you will be praising the freedom found in complete submission to the state, for it is only in the complete submission to Party Discipline that one finds true release, that is of course until one makes it into the Inner Circle, then you can pretty well do as you will, as long as it is For the Children™

Oh, and feel free to remit your application dues for Party Membership card to me, and I will sure to <s>pocket</s>.. er.,, pass it on to the appropriate organs.

To be frank, Nancy scares me. Is her drinking really able to help her maintain a good, submissive loyal socialist stupor?

When one reaches the heights of progressiveness that the Algore has achieved, one need not worry about carbon credits... his greenhouse gas production is sucked up by his congregation.

From what I have seen of Nancy, her drinking regimen is keeping up rather nicely.

Great Stalin's Ghost! I just realized that Hillary will not be your president in 08! We must do something about this! We simply can not put off her eventual world control any longer. While I have little doubt there will be a line of other country's leaders who will come to worship the MTE, as long as they still see themselves as leaders in their own right there will be the risk of anti-Hillary activity and we must squash this ASAP!

There is hope, comrades! When the Goddess Hillary becomes empress of the US, she can appoint Bill to the position of General Secretary of the UN by executive order. This means the Golden Era of Global Clintonism and Utopian Socialism, the very goal of the inevitable revolution, will dawn in our lifetime!

In the meantime, I have to attend to stirring up religious violence to bring about Mr. al-Maliki's war. No doubt you read here about how Protestant churches are no longer considered part of the true church. So, I'm going to join those large, roving mobs of angry, disaffected Presbyterians who have been rioting and burning cars. No doubt you've seen the headlines Presbyterian Clergy Issue Fatwah Calling for Pope's Death and the like. Anyway, it's an opportunity to do my little bit for the Revolution.

Comrade Beezelbob B -

Your wish has been granted and your post has been split into a separate topic with all the following comments except one, which got lost in the transfer similar to how some of the body parts don't get tele-deported in Sci-Fi movies, and then all hell breaks loose. But Comrade Beezelbob is not afraid of hell, is he? We expect to hear more updates from you about how our deceased Party comrades are currently doing in hell, what their agendas are, if they need anything, etc.

Red Square
People's Dictator

And here's your missing post, restored:

That's an excellent headline, Comrade Blogunov, and it's already been posted in the Headlines Quadrant of the Cube, backdated, as if it's always been there, proving your statement about us seeing such headlines.

The Party's Orwellian methods allow an unlimited number of prophecies to become reality.

THE PARTY CAN MAKE ANY SIMPLE PROPHECY A SELF-FULFILLING ONE!

I think the most important thing in a good song is communicating rage. Right wingers need to be put in their place. Blending harmony, melody and rhythm into an esthetically pleasing piece is so reactionary. A good song is like spitting in the face.

This song is sure to become a golden classic. Nothing pretentious about it. Thanks for bringing it up, comrade Beezelbob.



I find that when I play this song when I go to bed it puts me to sleep right away.

OUT OF CHARACTER AND INTO TRUTH

Ah, so that is the "Pink" I have heard mentioned. What complete morons and hypocrites. I like that early line... couldn't bear to listen even half way through. "Imagine you and I were equal"... nope, can't imagine that at all. One is the leader of the free world, the other is a run of the mill singer with no brains. How can they sleep at night knowing that after a full 8 years of their dear Clintons, and a good 50 years of War on Poverty, there could be any homeless? My God, things are so bad that in a mere 6 years, Bush has been responsible for bringing back the homeless that had been made non-existent. Then they want to talk about momma's not getting to say goodbye to men who died fighting to keep those brain dead talentless whores free and safe? What of all those million plus unborn who never got to say hello to their mom every year? How do they sleep at night? In the year 2000, 650 innocent Americans died from falls involving a bed or other furniture. That is about 2/3 the death in Iraq a year... and what are we doing to prevent this? Where is the concerts? The Furniture Awareness programs? How does the President sleep at night knowing Of course there will probably be more people dying while listening to such crap tonight than will die in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

Sorry, the Pup will get off the top of his doghouse now.

Where is Commissar Theocrtius when I need him? I can not decide if these old clips are evidence that the apocalypse is not far off, whether it shows that perhaps the notion of social egalitariansim is a concept that the Party must fight at every level, both in theory and practice, or if this is merely MTE offspring? Now I have little doubt that some here if not most already know of this... this... warping of space time? But it was new to this old revolutionary. I just know it scares me!

Another anthem of the people. We need to flood the radio stations with this gem of truth! WAKE UP AMERIKKA! SINCE BUSH WAS (S)ELECTED PRESIDENT, MILLIONS HAVE BECOME HOMELESS! BEFORE HIM, THERE WERE NO POOR!

OFF CHARACTER: I agree whole heartedly with you, Commissar Pupovich. Reminds me of a billboard I saw while traveling through rural Michigan last month: "IF YOU LIKE STARVING CHILDREN, YOU'LL LOVE REPUBLICANS." The stupidity of the sign made me laugh more than it angered me. Do they expect people to believe that starving children only exist when Republicans are in office? I remember volunteering in a soup kitchen in urban Cincinnati during the later Clinton years... the man they call the greatest president of our lifetimes. So obviously there were starving people when the Dems controlled the White House. Or maybe my memories are a trick by Bush/Rove/Cheney to make think there have always been starving people.

I would like to add this group to the thread..."Rage Against the Machine" Take a look at these comments comrades...

A couple of months ago, those fascist motherfuckers at the Fox News Network attempted to pin this band into a corner by suggesting that we said that the president should be assassinated. Nah, what we said was that he should be brought to trial as war criminal and hung and shot. THAT'S what we said. And we don't back away from the position because the real assassinator is Bush and Cheney and the whole administration for the lives they have destroyed here and in Iraq.
They're the ones. And what they refused to air which was far more provocative in my mind and in the minds of my bandmates is this: this system has become so brutal and vicious and cruel that it needs to start wars and profit from the destruction around the world in order to survive as a world power.
THAT's what we said. And we refuse not to stand up, we refuse to back down from that position not only for the poor kids who are being left out in the desert to die, but for the Iraqi youth, the Iraqi people, their families and their friends, and their youth who are standing up and resisting the US occupation every day.
And if we truly want to end this fucking miserable war, we have to stand up with the same force that the Iraqi youth are standing up with every day, and bring these motherfuckers to their knees. Wake up...

I must not forget those pukes Nikkel Bakk that sing that fairy tale and pixy dust filled song "If Everyone Cared"
sample...

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day, when nobody died

The "Pink" looks as if a Venereal disease just crawled out of her. Stay back Comrades...Stay Back!!!

Remember, Comrades, their patriotism and support for the troops cannot be questioned! They are true patriots. Do you hear me Faux News and KKKristian Reich wing? However, they could use a Peoples' Dictionary so they learn other words besides the F-bomb.

Rage Against the Machine has always sounded and appeared to me as a bunch of whiny rich kids who complain to everyone when they don't get their way and emphasize their whining by turning it into annoying songs using the expensive instruments their rich parents bought them that they have never learned to use properly. Pussies.

Well sung by Nickelback there komrades. Nobody would die, ever! Not even from old age! Especially if we stopped using elektricity, saved more ecosystems and let people have non-committal sexual relations with koala bears and toasters or any other low greenhouse gas emitting appliance.

There is no such thing as bad people or ideologies (except Kristianity of course), just people we haven't acquiesced to yet. You must admire Rage against the Machine. They have by virtue of nothing more than the band name supplied thousands of disenfranchised, maladjusted youth with a slogan.

Red Square please note that "Hell" is simply a Kristian Bourgeois koncept created to kontrol the masses. Much like gravity. I don't believe in it because John HoWARd does.

Good Grief...have komrades on this forum forgotten to take their party approved medication? Premier Betty, this is the only way anyone in the entertainment industry can make a living! Even if you do have some kind of "musical talent" it's absolutely pointless unless you use it to have a big loud sook about how bad democracy is! What else would the masses buy? Why, how would all the stand-up comedians put food on the table if, for example, they started using their satire to lament that people should be taking more responsibility for their own actions or, Marx forbid, getting jobs??!

Take Theo Van Gogh. He used the creative arts medium to criticise Muslims. It couldn't have been that good because nobody has seen or heard from him since.

Forgive me, Comrade Brown, I had forgotten my manners. I accidentally allowed my kkkapitalist thoughts to control my hands for a minute. Obviously my logic defenses are weakening and I must report to the nearest re-education camp for training.

Clearly it is the latter. For as we all know, there was no starving homeless people, no Global Warming, no people dying needlessly either here nor abroad, no racism, no any ism till the Republicans took control and apparently found one of our handbooks that was foolishly left behind when the Clinton's temporarily withdrew from the White House, and learned some of our patented population mental control techniques to give the illusion that all these things existed before the Bush-Cheney-Rove Axis seized power in their coup down in Florida. But we shall prevail against the enemy! Heil Hillary!

It was merely a reasonable response to... and I hate to admit this comrades, to the Pup's Babe, Ann Coulter, who went crazy with jealous rage when we had an argument about me spending too much time working for the Party. I had to put my paw down because I know The Work transcends any Pup-Blonde interspecies relationship. That is why she went mad that evening and suggested that she wished our useful idiot John Edwards was killed by a terrorist.

I well recall when Ann Coulter called John Edwards a faggot. I was incensed. How dare someone liken me to John Edwards!

Well, come to think of it, John Edwards is really, really kewl: he's a personal-injury lawyer so slimy that that he's running for president while his wife is dying and she's spending time trying to parlay her fatal disease into the White House for him when she <i>could</i> be spending her time with her children, who will lose her.

But as we all know, It's for the Children™ except that It's For Us.

All Heil John Edwards, the Breck Girl.

Thank you komrade Laika.

The last thing I want to do is usurp your party-approved job descriptions and be guilty of demarcation, as I am rightly programmed to be scared of unions... but I have penned my own version of the Revolutionary Pink speech (as if you can improve on perfection)

Dear Mr President
Why don't you gawk at me?
I'm an entertainment person so
Please take me seriously
Us narcissists can't help needing attention constantly

What do you feel when you see all the trash on MTV?
What other ways do you think we'll push our pornography?
How did I feel when I looked in the mirror…
and saw I'm foul

So how could I go on as just another pop star
How could I go on when I cannot even play my own guitar
How can I sell more stuff that only sounds the same
So I need to find someone like you
Who I can blame

Dear Mr President
You feeling guilty now?
I made you guilty now?
White male guilt for you boy!
How can I tell
My crying's gonna sell
To more than just the youth cartel?
‘Cause I know the Dems will find a way
To use it in their election campaign

What kind of artist would want to do real work anyway?
And how many artists have boosted careers by being “gay”?
And all I've done is the same old bleeding-heart-strings pull
I s'pose to a drugged out teen it sounds meaningful

So I'm gonna blame you for all my own sin
I'm gonna scream ‘til you let me throw my fetus in the bin
I'm gonna walk as a top-selling cause-whore
I love being labelled “controver-si-al”

Let me tell you ‘bout hard work…
Sittin' round drunk with abortions booked all day
Let me tell you ‘bout hard work
Knocked up by who, dunno, can't really say
Let me tell you ‘bout hard work
Sending off one or two demo tapes…
I know all about hard work…
For example…
Um, er….
You know nothing about hard work
You jerk
Gimme some
Money…

Well now I cannot miss
I'm getting a friggin' grammy for this
Dear Mr. President
You won't gawk at me
Boo-hoo…

Well, Pink and I, we're like green peas in a pod. Comrade Red...I haven't cried this much since angry Oz rock star Peter Garret ran for the Labor party. Or even when I met The Algore...and he spoke to me!! It's good to know there are Amerikkans out there I am not required to hate.

Us green disciples are hesitant to embrace technology so I don't know how to post youtube videos directly onto the blog. Please accept this link, in which Laika and other comrades might be interested, covering the strong, definitive policies of Oz Stray-ya's future leader.

The Australian Greens: hating humans since 1984

<character off>Pup, your forbidden forbidden-fruit baiting Ann Coulter touched on something. When I was running around I had a great sympathy with gash hounds. Back then I changed the sex of the partners, and back then no one could figure things out, but we understood each other perfectly. The eternal hunt, the weighing of sexual possibilities. Their interests, though, were in getting women to put out when women have a vested interest in making a nest--all that biology of course. Gay men had an interest in doing it without danger, and on some cases taking the rather difficult course of being the sounding board of some man who was struggling himself. That can be difficult...and dangerous. Fortunately I'm a big boy. But when she said that in every very promiscuous straight man there is a whiff of the bath house she hit one out of the park. And it is not, really, so much the subject of the desire as much as the chase. I blush to say I understand the depth of Clinton's urges. That does not mean to say that I wouldn't be delighted if Our MTE did to him what he did to Buddy.<on>

Beez, I hadn't heard Stray-ya, but I had heard an American say Strine. Of course here in Texas we say TaOHder for Toyota, "Turn yore lats own brat ta-nat" ("Turn your lights on bright tonight") and "Ha na bran ca." for "How now brown cow."

Ah yes Commissar- "Strine" is the more traditional pronun-see-ayshun of our (shameful) national identity, particularly in rural areas. Which is where I'm from...rural areas, or wherever endangered animals are. But I had to move to the cities because that's where all the endangered minority groups are. In the cities they mostly pronounce it "Stray-ya" so I picked up the urban dialect. Plus I need to pronounce a bit better because I am on TV a bit.

We know much about Amerikkkan accents here because we watch TV. All our information is from TV. Texas...isn't that where 'Mater the pickup truck from "Cars" hails from ? (I think it's called "Route 66" in Amerikkka. Of course I haven't seen it. I would never view a film celebrating greenhouse gaseous kapitalist motor vehicles and the joy of productive hard work and travel...)

Beez

You have made a rather sharp observation, Beezelbob B, that rural areas are filled with endangered animals, and urban areas are filled with endangered minority groups. We should never give the masses a chance to relax and enjoy a guiltless life, for anywhere you look you must find the troubling signs of rot, decay, degradation, and guilt, guilt, guilt! Only thus can we preserve and advance the revolutionary zeal of the masses. Works similar to sleep deprivation. In a way, it's close to psychological torture, but that last part is for the Party elites' ears only.

Speaking of "Cars," I'm surprised that non-Party-approved flikkk ever got an Oscar nomination. The entire film is a disgusting celebration of the recalcitrant values, the car culture, burning lots of gas on non-productive joy rides, and the beauty of American landscapes that pose a clear threat of causing the oppressed masses of the world to admire this cursed capitalist country instead of seething with Party-approved hatred.

Indeed Komrade RS! Our progressive friends in the Amerikkkan Movie Industry have clearly forgotten their obligations when it comes to awarding Oscars. I aim to have it written into the Strayan Greens' policy list that the insidious "Cars" movie be forcibly removed from all living room DVD players and replaced with this similar film here, which more accurately represents liberal, progressive values particularly in the areas of sexual expression and gender identity.

Beez

Beezelbub, thanks so much for that wonderful expose on "cars!" Take a double portion of beets tonight!

At least in "Cars" some of the race cars were still actual stockcars. Not like the lame NASCAR (which is turning into a Formula 1 type racing style) of now.
