Apparentely this is quite common in Colombia. Is it hypocritical because then they are engaging in buying nonessential capitalist products, or is it OK for even guerillas to want to look good?

Communists are normally quite full of hypocrisy. Wink

Depending on where they were produced, it may be self-defeating.

they definitely should.  Most communist strippers aren't very pretty.  And the one's in strip clubs are usually downright ugly.  A hot communist stripper is a rare find, probably less than 10 in the entire world.

I've never seen a communist stripper, period, lol.

Lewis does have another point though.

If they were purchased with money from a business owner, I would say so, yes.

I don't see why not. I'd want to look good when the photograph of me clutching my AK-47 appears on the front page of People's Weekly World or Liberation.

Because they are nonessential products of capitalism.

Well, everything produced under the capitalist political regime is a product of capitalism - so there is no way to avoid using such products.  As for 'nonessential', that sounds completely subjective to me. 

Seems like you could still produce cosmetics under communism or socialism as well, nothing inherently capitalistic about them.

You could produce such products, but they don't have communism or socialism yet, so they're partkaking in a capitalist economy over rather unnecesary stuff. Does it really matter if they look good when they hit government troops or AUC paramilitaries? (Kind of funny that they still care how they look come to think of it actually.)

I'm not complaining though, just making a possible point. But if I were a communist guerilla, I would definately want my female comrades to look good and it'd be good for morale. Maybe it does have an advantage there then.

Of course they still want to look good!  Socialists are still sexual beings, if anything more than your average subject of the capitalist regime.

I think the.. anhedonic, puritan aspect of socialism was one of its main downfalls.  There is no reason one couldn't be more egalitarian and still enjoy a life full of sex, products, and a fair amount of leisure.  Perhaps thats why Keynesian appeals to me more than socialism - it places a fairly high valuation on hedonism.

The problem was that many socialists and communists only cared about their own power, and thus tried to elimated anything that stood in the way. Mao outlawed pornography because he saw it as a distraction to his "Cultural Revolution".

Yes!  The puritannical nature of socialism is dreadful, though perhaps not inevitable.  Certainly American capitalism is very hostile to sexual enjoyment as well, so anhedonia can infect either system.

BRTD, you seriously need to find a hobby. All you talk about is commies and strippers. You've made 675 topics!! How about we send you to North Korea so you can be in a communist country and see what's it's like. Maybe you can go to a strip club with Kim Jong Il and complain about how strip clubs are too conservative and expensive.

I don't know, I'm wondering if the high heel shoes go with the commando gear. Smiley

Many have seen the first Predator movie - this is kind of like the gal in that?

Hot rebel communist babes, ha! Might be a variation on the powerful woman fixation. See, they just want to be liberated from the Communism so they can come here and become corporate types and CEO's. Smiley
