Let's face it, it's no more silly than saying SpongeBob Squarepants is gay propaganda.

Communism clearly worked for the Smurfs. It doesn't for us, but they seemed prosperous. Although I do remember that things like of went to hell when Papa Smurf was out of town. Luckily Smurfs are immortal! ;-)
The weirdest part of the whole Smurfs thing is that there are a hundred males and only one female.
I would think SpongeBob, if gay, would be anti-gay propaganda. Would anyone really aspire to be more like SpongeBob?
I'm perfectly OK with Smurfs (or people) living in a little communist society as long as they don't force anyone to participate. Where I get a little cranky about institutionalized theft is when those who don't wish to be part of it are coerced into going along "for the good of the collective".
"Land wasn't all the Smufrs shared. Food and provisions were stored in the communal mushroom-shaped huts and were distributed in equal portions to each and every Smurf throughout the year."
How scary ! :-)
I think this kind of show should be abolished. Along with "Little House on the Prairie", "Bewitched" and all the others that describe a community of people living together, sharing the goods they have, giving the members food and clothing even if they have not paid for it, nor worked enough for it, just based on their needs. I am talking about the institution called "family", that is just a cover name for "secret and sneaky communism". It is really appalling.
Yes. Ian M. Banks' "the Culture" is a total communistic utopia. Everything is made by machines to the extend everybody has total freedom and can have whatever they want.
(Anybody who likes space opera should check out the Culture. The early ones are best.)
Not to mention Star Trek and most other futuristic environments, where money doesn't exist.Star Trek gave some contradictory info on this. They said money doesn't exist but then they introduce the Ferengi and "gold pressed latinum" and about how latinum is so valuable because it can't be replicated for some reason.

That's why she's always smiling.

My gawd, you're right. That's half of the TV shows I thought I liked!

Coincidentally enough, I just recently bought the first two Culture novels. The first book was great.

Great!
The first one was Consider Phlebas, ya?
That one is the most action-film-like.
I liked the next one even better, though, The Player of Games. I love the concept of this huge, complex game.
