The Advice Communist

The "Life" section of the Detroit Daily Worker begins 
running a column called "The Advice Communist" alongside
state-sanctioned recipes for cornbread pie and
tips for decorating your collective factory.

Dear Advice Communist, writes Cheryl from Oak Park,
My mother wants a big church wedding, but my fiance
doesn't. They fight continually about it and I am in the 

middle.

Please help.

The Advice Communist reads the letter carefully, adjusts his

pince-nez, then composes his response:

There is no God, therefore your mother is a czarist symp-

athizer. 

Inform the authorities about her. Then after she

disappears, get married by a noble worker in the bed

of his state-manufactured farm truck.

Nancy from Southfield writes, My relatives from Frankenmuth

are visiting for Thanksgiving, and I am worried because

they don't control their bratty kids. What can I do?

Dear Nancy: Drive back the fascist swine with a withering hail

of machine-gun fire, followed by  mighty waves

of infantry. Pound them with artillery until nightfall,

then let the Michigan winter do the rest. If the cowards abandon

any of their indoctrinated swine-children, put them on

a train to the gulag. Happy Holidays!

The Detroit Daily Worker also runs the "Peanuts" comic

strip, featuring noble proletariat Lucy and 

capitalist puppet Charlie Brown.
