Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling They Were... SOCIALIST INVADERS FROM THE FUTURE! The 1980s Man: Sure is great to enjoy the heyday of American capitalism! Woman: What's this? ZZZZAD Socialist: Ha-ha! We are American Socialists from the future: 2019 A.D. Man: Good lord, we've been warned of this! Woman: Yes, being socialists in our time wasn't fun enough, so we invented a time machine to invade the 1980s! 80s Woman: SHRIEK Politician: Scream all you want! We will introduce a humane and expanded system for refugees to apply for asylum in the United States! 80s Man: Wait! Um, that's a mainstream value today -- both Democrats and Republicans support it! Bernie: Hmm...then we will create laws that will lower the top 1% share of income below 20% of all American income! 80s Man: But it's currently at about 10%! Woman: We will make the top tax rate a capitalism-crushing 70%! 80s Woman: You mean you'll LOWER the top rate? It's 91% now! ZZZZAP Bernie: It's boring being an evil socialist in the 1980s! Socialist Woman: Let's go back to 2019, where we are actually scary! 80s Man: They weren't socialists, but they were scary! 80s Man: I'll say: the man was clearly a Jew, and I think that young woman was colored!
