And I quote:

"What is not seen is the dark, hidden underbelly of this comic strip: it is actually a brilliant piece of Communist propaganda that has infiltrated our society and culture, in an attempt to bring about a new Communist revolution. Scott Adams, the creator and author of DIlbert, is an avowed Communist. He is trying to lead the Information-Age proletariat, i.e., the becubicled office worker, against the modern-day
bourgeiosie, i.e., the tyrannical middle-manager of this office."

Go here and see for yourself.

"Scott Adams shows his Bolshevik roots with barely a hint of camoflage."

Funny.

His thesis is flawed, however, because Dilbert is not respected even by his closest associates.

And he's still not as smart as the garbageman.

Considering the feelings on the subject, I put it in the FB. But I am a mere human, not a mod.

I never can tell when these sorts of things are jokes and when they're serious. Shows what a sad state of affairs we're really in, eh?

No, papa smurf is the true communist. There's a web page about it somewhere..

And pro-communism is inherently an Evil Thing (TM). I see.

socialism? I think not. I thought Dilbert was a fifth column scheme to bring about a technophilic meritocracy.

Well it says:
"This page was very nearly featured on The Daily Show on Comedy Central, but wasn't because the page is just a joke. Oh well."

So, I'm pretty damn sure it's a joke.

Yes, I think the page is a parody...but it's damn funny.

If you can take advantage of a situation in some way, it's your duty as an American to do it. Why should the race always be to the swift or the jumble to the quick-witted? Should they be allowed to win merely because of the gifts God gave them? Well, I say cheating is the gift man gives himself!

Well, yes, this one is a joke. But there are similar things that are harder to distinguish...
