e2a is this too big an image? let me know if it is and I'll link to a thumbnail

e2a2: bollocks just noticed I misspelt Multiculturalism :facepalm:. Still, at least the pedantry division of PD should be happy with my apostrophe placement. Fixed.

Excellent! :D

As PD aren't sexist, I take it we'll see The Virgin Mary and Santa Lucia duking it out in short order? :cool:

Brilliant! I'm robbing that for facebook - there is no such thing as intellectual property under communism.

Actually, that might make a decent theoretical piece - the communist case for intellectual property rights.

more pedantry: jesus wasnt white (if he even existed, which he probably didnt)

This event, as noted, comes with the full blessing of MOIC. It was recognised that an event at which the only two listed special guests are white males is not really acceptable in this day and age, however sometimes circumstances dictate that such a thing occurs. Such occasions must be put forward through the MOIC to be checked.
In this case it was not just the white and male aspect but also the lack of other religions being represented at this event that raised concerns, however it was the judgement of MOIC that this event could go ahead for the following reasons:

1) as Comrogoue Ska has noted, Jesus was probably black anyway, and the representation of him as white comes around only because the artistic division of PD found this film called "boxing Jesus" which was far too good to pass up. Thus the "white" issue can be set aside.

2) Whilst both Jesus and St. Paul are strongly in the Christian tradition, Jesus (and I assume St Paul) both appear in the Muslim tradition also, and Jesus is recognised as a prophet, but not the final prophet. Thus the religion aspect is overcome. It was also recognised that as it was the catholic faction that had organised this event, which may provide an important revenue stream for fundraising efforts for the workers bomb, it was understandable that they had contacts within their own religion and were unable to secure a deity such as Shiva for the event.

3) At an event with only 2 guests, it is usually required that one is female. However, male vs female boxing is not allowed due to the patriarchal nature of our society and the oppresive nature of the capitalist nation state. As such, it was accepted that this event should go ahead as advertised with the proviso the comrouge VP gives, that if this is a success the next event will feature women fighters, and that - going forward - efforts would be made to bring in deities and saints from other religious traditions to these fundraising events.

Also, Jesus is pissed off with Paul and that's the only person he'd fight, and having Jesus in the ring will bring in more punters which means we can sell more papers spread our message further.

That is the sort of about face that a communist party can only make once it is in a position of power. While the revolution is still in the build up, orthodoxy is necessary. ;)
 
I'm thinking Paul would come in to 'Ave Maria' simultaneously signifying the catholic sublimated mother godess worship and also smirking at Christ 'I love yer mum'
 
British pop retro theme the contest and have Paul come on to this and JC come on to this. The second link contains a lyric I had never noticed before...

Cheers - Louis MacNeice
 
With thanks to cmbbs suggestions, and the huge rush of interest and support for the fundraiser, PD (catholic socialists) have managed to secure the support of the Virgin Mary and Saint Lucia, and through our inter-faith committee, we will have special guests, Shiva and Lakshmi - that's internationalism!

It could be argued that instead of the individual owning the IP rights, the communist state would. Would a communist state enforce those rights though? If capitalist states illegally used communist IP and the communists didn't enforce them, they may as well not have bothered in the first place, however to exploit the rights is inherently capitalist (unless they only exploited via other communist states).

It is worth noting that both Venezuela and Vietnam have patent mechanisms.
