Are Communists really just angry Hippies?

In a recent survey in Austria, scientists discovered that a staggering 73.36% of communists had a diet high in Lentil consumption.

In a study that followed, scientists created a social experiment with a group consisting of 58 Communists and 53 Hippies, isolated in separate communities.

In the Communist community, scientists observed that when 300mg/100g of Marajuana was added to there regular lentil diet the communists behaviour began to change.
Within 14 days 57% of the communists still wanted to share everything equally but had also begun wearing flowers in thier hair and engaging in "Free Love".

Similar results were observed within the Hippie Community. 47% of the community, which was deprived of the Marajuana content, showed signs of being cranky after just a couple of hours.

I see plenty of hippies that work, in head shops and such.:p

On a more serious note, this actually makes sense. Our government should be run by hippy Communists.

Hippies really are cooler than everybody else.

If they "work", as in holding a job for pay, then they are not hippies.


There was only one real hippie, and he died in 1978. His name was Emmett Grogan.

Tell me honestly that the TRUE form of communism isn't the best thing you have ever heard of? People are the reason why ideas like this will never work. People are all about social classes, religion, money, etc.

Ya, imagine how great things would be if it werenâ??t for all these people aroundâ?¦

Communists are just hippies who are actually willing to fight for a better tomorrow. The biggest political difference between the two groups, as far as I can tell, is that hippies talk a lot about creating change with peace and love, whereas communists talk about change via revolutionary insurrection. For me, it's a question of practicality. While I love a lot of hippie philosophy, I don't find it particularly likely that the heavily armed, extremely powerful Establishment can be defeated with kind words and peaceful protests. If we want to actually achieve a world where the masses don't get fucked over by an elite few, we're going to have to fight for it and we're going to have to be willing to fight for its defense too. There is certainly room for peaceful improvement, but we can't go down that road exclusively or we will surely be defeated.

Workers of the world, unite!

Oneironaut,

While I do not agree with your philosophy as a political scientist I am fascinated by your views and respect your willingness to hold unpopular beliefs.

The west needs more of the bravery that it takes to fly a red-and-black flag in this society.

Disclaimer: In reference to the red-and-black flags excuse me if I assumed too quickly that you were an anarcho-syndicalist.

I am an anarcho-communist, which is pretty much the same thing really.

Pretty much.

No, communists aren't angry hippies. they trust the gov't to much.

Libertarians are the true gun-totin', angry hippies :)

Do you really want to live life in poverty? Communists understand economics like rocks fly! There's a reason that the free-est of the free markets are strongest of the strong economies!
