Tonight’s meeting of the Marxism-Leninism Now Collective (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86880) demonstrated the continuing relevance and ultimate success of communist principles, according to the Collective’s Secretary, Melanie Muscovoy, 44. Comrade Musky, as she insists on being called, believes that the Collective’s meetings provide what she calls “a blueprint for tomorrow”.
Comrade Musky believes that the Collective’s activities provide a useful model for political participation. “In this day and age, the average citizen plays no part in politics. Our Collective is quite different. Last night we discussed the bus timetable, and there were some rousing speeches. Quite a powerful message was sent to the bus company when we voted to condemn it.”
The Collective also plays a valuable role in politicising the wider community of NationStates, and after last night’s meeting the members went out to the streets to spray-paint “NO BUSES – NO FARE” on a nearby wall. “That will show Johnny Capitalist,” said a proud Musky.
The Secretary dismissed as “ridiculous” the notion that communism was dead. “We are proof positive that this is not true,” she said. “We pool our resources, and each takes according to her need,” Musky explained. “For example, I bring the tea and instant coffee, as I am a waged worker, and one of my fellow members only contributes hot water because she is on the dole and it’s her house that we use for meetings. While yet another provides a ready supply of milk and chocolate biscuits. That’s a system that works.”
Though on a small scale, Comrade Musky maintains that the Collective’s meetings provide a workable model for the allocation of resources within society generally. “I know it sounds like a Utopia,” she says, “but if we can have a Utopia amongst the three of us, why can’t everybody have one?”
