How Marriage Is Like Communism


First you start off in love, all idealistic and enthusiastic, sure the other person has their faults but they don't bother you at the moment and you just don't think about them. Its a time to put the other person first and pretending you don't fart or stink out the bathroom.

You soon start to change and dispose of any rivals like those still single fun loving friends who just aren't on the same page as you and can you trust them now anyway?

Remember you've agreed by taking the vow to the cause or to the other person that fun has no place in yer life from now on.

The gushing cuddly love gives way to a power struggle and one-upmanship under the guise of sharing and equality. Subterfuge and disinformation becomes a part of everyday life and freedom is a distant memory, no wonder so many defect to the world of the midlife crisis.

Communism like marriage is a good idea in theory but not everyone wants the same thing as everyone else. Communism in some countries like some marriages last longer than others.
Russia called it quits when the children grew up and wanted their independence.
China sticks with it but the thrill has gone, too lazy/apathetic for the upheaval of divorce/revolution it has an open marriage which includes a fling with capitalism, they now have Wal-marts where the chinks can buy their very reasonably priced chicken feet.

Cuba had a domineering marriage full of silent abuse but since I killed Fidel Castro earlier in the week I wonder how long it will be before she marry's his brother who was always there for her.

When a marriage or regime ends theres bloodshed a lot of finger pointing , disillusionment and the realisation that you wasted so many good years of yer life, what were you thinking?
