Lesson In Politics

[coalminer]

A boy comes home from school and asks his father: “Daddy, what are "politics"?

The father answers: “Boy, politics is very simple to explain.”

I bring the money in this house; therefore I’m the “CAPITALISM”.

Your mother manages the money; therefore she is the “GOVERNMENT”.

Granddad is watching that everything is carried out nicely; therefore granddad is the “AUTHORITIES”.

The nanny is the “WORKING CLASS”.

We have all but one aim for eyes, as it happens, your well-being.

Therefore, you are the “PEOPLE”

You little brother who’s still crawling in his napkin is the “FUTURE”.

That night, the boy wakes up as he hears his little brother cry because he shitted in his napkin.

Not knowing what to do, he walks to the room of his parents.

But there he finds only his mother who is sleeping real tight in bed.

Thus the boy decides to walk to the nanny’s room.

But when he opens the door, he sees the nanny and his dad doing all kind of strange things in bed.

The boy doesn’t want to disturb his father and the nanny in their occupation, and decides to walk to the room of granddad.

But granddad is looking inconspicuously trough the window into the nanny’s room.

They are all so busy that nobody sees that he is watching what they are doing.

Thus the boy decides to change the napkin of his little brother himself as well as he can and go to sleep.

The next morning at the breakfast table, the father asks his son if he can explain with his own words what “POLITICS” is.

Yes, the boy says,

The “CAPITALISM” abuses the “WORKING CLASS” while the “GOVERNMENT” sleeps and the “AUTHORITY” watches.

The “PEOPLE” are completely ignored and “FUTURE” lies in SHIT!
