A spectre is haunting the youth, the spectre of Smurfism.

Blue Gnomes of the world unite!

 
Conspiracy theories really allow you to maintain a sense of humour when all about the world stagnates and all too slowly devours itself. A good one is that the early 1980′s cartoon The Smurfs was Cold War communist propaganda. Or atleast a great representation of a communist utopia.

Its all there, the communal living without the need for an economy, the principle from each according to ability, to each according to need. They are guided by the old wise Papa Smurf, clearly a Karl Marx caricature. Their enemies are the evil Jewish figure Gargamel and his capitalist ‘fat cat’ Azriel , bent on greed and profit by turning the Smurfs into gold.

Gargamel, the George Soros of smurf world.

There is a plethora of essays on this theory on the internet. The best place to start is the brilliant YouTube piece by Evan Topham.
 

 
What a great theory. Makes me want to listen to the Internationale and reread Capital. The Occupy Movement should have changed their slogan from “We are the 99%!” to “We are Smurfs!”
