re: #77 funky chicken

A true Maoist/Stalinist regime would definitely have me on a no-no list. I’m an educated female whose parents are financially comfortable. I also have a big mouth. My husband’s membership in the military would possibly insulate me for a while, but eventually my daughter and I would end up “farming for the fatherland” or something.

Pol Pot would spot us right away—smartypants females with our shelves full of scandalous books … and we both wear glasses.

I think the closest there is to Stalinism is probably North Korea. And even then that’s Stalin Lite.
