Applying to Join the Chinese Communist Party
If it weren't for the subtitles, you'd think this was a folk song, possibly about family. It's more like a love song to the Chinese Communist Party, the ultimate in this young man's aspirations. The propaganda music video is both amusing and unnerving. (via Metafilter)

Do not confuse Communism (an economic model) with Totalitarianism (a political model). Do not confuse Capitalism (an economic model)with Democracy (a political model). This is a common confusion which was set up during the Cold War, drilled into the American people & has been perpetuated by propaganda. Communism & Capitalism in their purest forms (which exist on paper only) each embrace a facet of the human spirit. The spirit to achieve & the spirit to share. Without politics they can walk hand-in-hand.
P.S.
“He does immeasurable harm to his country who has never sewn a stitch, never driven a nail nor ploughed a field but has devoted his entire career to politics!”
ANON.
