communism?


Ok, just a quick one about soccer today. I watched the game with Chelsea today, and they were playing really well, well except at the end I got a little scared there, but they might have a chance for the Champions League (probably not, cause all my predictions are wrong, but I still want MANCHESTER to get to the final at least...)
So when I first moved to America everyone thought I was Russian. My friends had this false belief that all Russians are Communists. Then they found out I wasn't actually Russian, but Bulgarian, but then they found out that Bulgaria was once a Communist country. So they all started making Communist jokes about me, and that didn't make me happy, because Bulgaria didn't really have a good experience with Communism, and I've heard a lot of stories, that I don't want to share on here, but I don't want people to think that I'm a Communist. In school I always end up writing, or doing a project about communism, once I had to pretend I was Nikita Krushchev, once I had to write a newspaper promoting communist from Karl Marx's point of view. Now, I have to write a speech about a surrealist artist/writer. I randomly chose a guy from a list the my teacher provided me with, his name was Tristan Tzara, and I was in the middle of researching about him, and then I read this on a website:  "Tzara's career included other artistic and political movements, including Surrealism and communism." and I thought "Fuck, not again." So on Monday when I go to school and pretend I'm this guy I have to be a communist again, and that will bring in even more jokes... 
And so I was procrastinating for writing the speech, and I was just staring at this billetin board I have in my room. I have these stickers that I picked up at Art Basel (this art convention) with my friend when I went to visit last year. So, I'm sitting there, and I'm reading the stickers and this one really big one that I really like says: Private Property Created Crime. Wow, Communism much?
