Communist Manifesto

CALAIS, France — More than 1,600

migrants were bused to new shelters

across France on Monday as authorities

prepared to dismantle the notorious Jungle camp

in Calais, a last stop for those desperate

to cross the English Channel and enter Britain.

Syria and Afghanistan war-torn places

children hospitals bombarded in Aleppo

persecution in Pakistan, child labor in Iraq

for everyone with the right mind it's high

time to hit-and-run-as-fast-as-you-can

but no refugees are welcome in the land

of fish and ships, Burberrys and Harrods

unsuccessful attempts to cross the channel

Calais' state-less limbo for thousands of migrants

Europe's struggle to cope with massive influx.

Then God said: Let Us make man in Our image

according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the

fish and chips of the sea and over the USA birds of the sky

and over the EU cattle and over all the earth, and over every

Asian creeping thing that creeps on the earth, God created man

in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male

female, transexual, He created them, God blessed them; and God said

to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the five continents of the

earth, and subdue it and rule over the fish and the chips of the sea

and over the Australian birds of the blue sky and over every living thing

that moves on the earth, including dividend-stocks, Asset-Backed Securities, risk-free US treasuries, over-heated Vancouver property markets, Tiffany diamonds, climate bonds and all the gold of Fort Knox.

Genesis gave rise to the 1848

Manifesto of the Communist Party

USA today's more relevant than ever

The Communist Manifesto (2016)

1. Mankind has inherited the earth;

2. All (wo)man's created equal;

3. The earth belongs to everyone, all men, women and children;

4. All worldy assets – fish & chips, dollars – belong to everyone;

5. Having > 2.5 standard deviations of the average is a crime against God;

6. Il-legal immigrants don't exist, no documentation whatsoever's required to be 'perfectly legal' in the eyes of God;

7. Refugees, therefore, are common land owners – You're All Welcome;

8. GodBless, comrade, and if you don't like it – Go to Hell.
