well - if your people think that the smurfs are commies - you can bet they slap that label on pretty much anything that moves - crikey communism is DEAD. Get over it. I've been to China and Vietnam two of 6? communist countries left in the world ... I'm a tellin' you these two countries are definately not communist - they have only one party but they have no social welfare no universal healthcare no unemployment insurance no drug plans .... hell the US is far more communist than China and Vietnam the only difference is the US has 2 party elections Viet / China have only one.
