The Wikipedia page on the Young Pioneers includes lyrics to one of their songs (sung by Raffi on his albums–I smell a Red).
The sky’s bright blue.
The sun is up high—
This is the little boy’s picture
He drew it for you
and then wrote there for you.
Just to make clear what he drew.
Chorus:
May there always be sunshine,
May there always be blue skies,
May there always be my mama,
May there always be me!
It seems even Marxists can’t quite let go the yearning for eternal life.

The children will be pitted against each other in round after round of pitiless combat, until only the strongest survive. They alone will be allowed to sneak off to the girls’ tent to breed. The corpses of the losers will be efficiently butchered and served at the camp cafeteria. No reason to waste good meat!
Ah, atheist summer camp. Good times, good times.

The camp’s full of skinny, clumsy, near-sighted Nietzsche-readers if Mendel’s work means anything. The sad fact is that atheists are poor breeders.
Have they yet found a cure for belief in biological determinsim?

Neko: your point is proved, I think, not only by the messianic/apocalyptic nature of Marxism, but by the fact that they keep mummifying their leaders and making 50-foot iron statues out of them. Oh, if only there were a place where rust and moth did not decay.
