Product Description

Product Description
Now that communism has officially lost its ideological battle with capitalism it's time for the winners to rewrite history. In Eastern Europe, people are even beginning to look back at the communist era with a sense of nostalgia. The Thoughts of Chairman Miaow takes the stark political sloganeering of Sino-Soviet communism and combines it with ickle wickle pussycats. "To be attacked by the enemy is not a bad thing but a good thing," said mao, and his words are echoed throughout the book by a variety of Chairman Miaows. The Thoughts Of neatly anthropomorphizes the views of would-be feline dictators, with the text provided and inspired by a variety of diehard apparatchiks at politbureau HQ. Alojngside exhortations to go out and destroy enemies of the state, there are appeals from the national intelligentsia; for unity, for freedom for brotherhood, for social justice amongst the proletriat and (cat) calls to confront and defeat imperialist enemies. Long Live Chairman Miaow!

4.0 out of 5 stars Follow the wise fertiliser of Chairman Miaow's thoughts, 29 Jul 2005
By Robin Benson - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      

One of those fun books that publishers love to put out and it could have been printed at any time since Chairman Mao's death. We've all seen those Chinese propaganda posters showing the Chairman exhorting the masses to strive forward (and don't forget to wave your little Red Book, or else) so why not replace his head with that of an earnest looking moggy and slightly adjust the posters words of wisdom to feline ends: 'Political power grows out of a barrel of fish'. Or how about 'Let's sing a new song about bank nationalization and rabbit flavor chunks.'

The replacing of one head with another has been done rather well, appropriate snarling or passive pussies, depending on the original posters have been used but I thought the joke wore rather thin too quickly. Several posters just have a switched head and some bland copy instead of developing the theme a bit more by adding extra catty related items to the background, though still keeping the flavor of the original. Still, for the price feline fans will enjoy the fun and don't forget 'We must have faith in the Party and we must have faith in moist pouches'.

BTW: Just in case you love cats and propaganda posters (unlikely, I know) have a look at: 'Chinese Propaganda Posters' a sumptuous book with hundreds of examples of the real thing.
