Some Revolutionaries Are More Equal Than Others

In a move of pure, unbridled cynicism not seen since the days of the Hitler/Stalin pact, the Communists and the Jihadists recently met in Tehran to form an entente cordial and the former came away with a lesson in dhimmitude:

The hope was that the conference would produce a synthesis of Marxist and Khomeinist ideologies and highlight what the Iranian leader has labeled "the divine aspect of revolutionary war." But the event itself proved rather embarrassing.
The embarrassment came when Iranian speaker, Hajj Saeed Qassemi, declared that Ernesto "Che" Guevara was actually a religious man who believed in neither Communism or the Soviet Union. Waxing on his subject, Mr, Qassemi said,
Today, communism has been consigned to the garbage can of history as foreseen by Imam Khomeini. Thus progressists everywhere must accept the leadership of our religious, pro-justice movement.
When the the late Mr. Guevara's daughter, who was attending in a proper dhimmi headscarf, made a vocal protest she and her (bewhiskered) brother were rushed away and reduced to the level of unpersons by the end of the conference.
Given the advanced age of the Communist participants and the bald confidence of the Jihadists that they were the true "progressives", it isn't surprising that things ended up with the Communists being treated less as partners than as appetisers. Perhaps the Left should rethink this alliance before they discover that the hijabs and beards have gone from a courtesy to a requirement.

Incontrovertible proof that Jihadists are NOT the "downtrodden proletariat heroically shaking off the shackles of capitalism", but unyielding sociopaths who seek to cut a bloody swath across all other races, religions and beliefs.

I thought the "ash heap of history" was a Reagan quote.

It is, but he was quoting Trotsky, just to tick off the Commies.

(Thanks Wiki!)

Now I see Khomeini and Reagan are in posthumourous agreement.

I wonder what it was the guest Communists thought they were getting. Free T-Shirts?
