| It is almost too perfect! The Smurfs are a perfect
match to what communism should be in theory. The Smurfs have no currency and every thing is shared equally between them. notice that all of the Smurfs dress exactly the same in the same standard issue white pants and hat. It is nearly impossible to tell one smurf from another. This demonstrated the idea of total equality and that every member of the society was as important as the others. The Smurfs made communism look like a great form of government because all of the Smurfs seemed happy and there was no poverty or any crime. This was a ploy of the communist creators of the Smurfs that was used to turn the North American children on to the idea of communism. Of course, in reality communism just does not work because people are generally greedy and need to have something to strive for that is why capitalism works; it allows us to strive to make more money, get better toys, and higher social standings that our friends, neighbors, or anyone we may come in contact with. The Smurfs put forth a definite anti-capitalism message in their shows. One need only look a value of certain Smurfs in the society to see this; Who was portrayed negatively on the show? greedy and vanity that's who! And why were these particular Smurfs frowned upon? Well Greedy took for himself and like to eat alot. Is that a reason to condemn him? I think not he still did alot of good for the society; he did cook for them all did he not!! The case of vanity is even more disturbing! Who do you think the smurf that wore a flower in his hair and looked in the mirror all day represented?? Vanity was a homosexual of course and he was constantly put down which taught the young generation of would be North American communists that homosexuality would not be tolerated in this society. Now that we have seen which Smurfs were looked down upon we must ask which Smurfs were valued the most in the society? Why it was the hard working handy Smurfs which worked hard and questioned nothing. The communists wanted their new generation of communists to value hard work and to condemn the lazy Smurfs who played golf suntanned and drove about in there shinny new XK8's otherwise known as the business man!!! |
