Your significance to me,
Is like that to Mao of the peasantry.
And so I share my Five Year Plan,
Year one is to become your man.
And all I hope from year two,
Is that I am still with you.
And that you are still with me,
The aspiration for year three.
Hope you've not shown me the door,
By the time we reach year four.
Happy I'll be in year five,
If our love is still alive.
'We will be the last generation, fight for bombs and detonation!'

When we kiss, I feel the sparks,
You're the Engels to my Marx.
How I long for us to tryst,
My beautiful Lenninist.
How I long to hold you tight,
My beautiful Trotskyite.
Hold you with a grip like Stalin,
Because you are my only darling.

I can subtitle that if you give me the words to put on it.
screen goes blank; cut to stirring musicI'm not really asking you to do all this but this is how I imagine the Party Political Broadcast. I'm sure some of you can make it better than this. There have been some great posts in this thread.

Karl Marx"It is absolutely impossible to transcend the laws of nature. What can change in historically different circumstances is only the form in which these laws expose themselves"

Look out capitalism - nature just got ready to expose itself!

Comrades! Only through the development of the Worker's Bomb can we march forward together into a joyous nuclear sunset. Join us as we simultaneously break the system and our Geiger counter. The future's bright, the future's orange!
Cut to F.A.N.G logo with legend "For A Nuclear Globe - because nothing brings us together like a big fall-out."

How I long for us to tryst,
My foxy anarcho-feminist.
How I long to hold you tight,
and then we kick some Trotskyites.
"Power comes from the barrel of a gun"
So says comrade Mao Tse Tung
But all you need to get things done
Is a purple rubber strap on dong
Oh to hold you with a grip like Stalin,
You are my one and only darling.
I wonder if I'll have a partner in the morning
Four rhyming couplets in iambic quadrameter, and you massacred it.
Against the wall you will be first,
When I'm the Commissar of Verse!
