CLASSIC MOVIE DILEMMAS FIXED BY SOCIALISM
by AMANDA ReCUPIDO

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: Everybody has a living wage so they don’t feel the need to betray and rob each other. Nobody dies.

Alien: People are comfortable listening to women in authority and the creature never comes on board the ship. Nobody dies.

Witness for the Prosecution: The jury doesn’t buy into the notion that a criminal charge will ruin an otherwise good man’s life, because it’s clear he totally did it. Nobody dies.

The Deer Hunter: All veterans are provided adequate mental health care. Nobody dies.

West Side Story: Immigration is viewed as a boost to the economy and overall culture. Everybody dances but nobody dies.

Animal House: Nobody graduates with student loan debt. This is so shocking to Boone that he almost has a heart attack and dies.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: There’s ample affordable housing for seniors so Charlie’s grandparents don’t have to share a single bed. Those privileged, capitalist children still meet their factory fates, as they had it coming.

Um.

They don’t lock people in steerage, and there are a sufficient number of lifeboats.

Wow! That was not hard.

The Titanic is just another big ship, not “superior” cause who needs that, and so without a superiority complex. As a result, their humble crew listens when another ship reports icebergs.

This whole topic brings to mind a famous meme.

So here it is again.
