The Difference Between the Republicans and the Communists? None

I'm a communist because there isn't another
Place for me to go. Capitalism is sick
And unfair, and can't be tamed by high-minded
Types to be beneficial to those who it uses.
Socialism's the better course, but it will
Not be born by means of ballots or resolutions
Which capitalists would flick away. That's why
I'm also a Leninist. It takes a mean-as-hell
Vanguard to lead the masses from exploitation
By owners of capital to...alas, exploitation
By those in the vanguard, and that is why,
Though I am a communist, I'm not foolish enough
To believe it's worthwhile to try
To change anything.
