Re: Your pet's political affiliation?
Political affiliations?
My cats are Communists. I mean, I've put away my copy of Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse Tung, and other red literature, but they seem to persist in their Communist ways. To name a few of their transgressions, they expect the state (me) to subsidize their rations, litter, and medical care.
To make it worse, one is a Russian blue, and the other is named Tolstoy after the author of one of my favorite books. Tolstoy, however, while many would have said was a Czarist, I thought his approach to history had some Marxist tendencies in that it viewed wars, victories, defeats, etc. not as the accomplishments or failures of "great men", but as uncontrollable forces who just carried these men (like Napoleon) along for the ride, thereby diminishing the stature of important historical figures, and placing more importance on the common man. Did I digress a little in my explanation?
Yeah, my cats are Commies.
