"Oh your boss threatening to fire you is 'like communism'"

"I listen to guys who are forced to work on weekends say that it's like communism"

"Is your giant multinational company communist?"

[audience laughs]

"Does your CEO have a portrait of Stalin in his office? Do your kids read Karl Marx in school"

[laughter]

"I mean, really, are we [pause] not living in a capitalist country?"

"People keep pointing out child poverty here and say it's like North Korea. Have you been to the DPRK? Can you really say that the stuff you see daily is going on in the competing social system you know nothing about?"

Because it is easy comedy for an American audience. I knew the second that the Washington Redactedskins changed their name to the Washington Commanders there would be a million 'Commie' jokes, and I was not disappointed. The worst part about them is that they aren't even good, just the same joke over and over and over again.

A huge % of Americans are basically NPCs who haven't had an independent thought since childhood. The education system, media, culture is all designed around getting people to think as little as possible.
