The myth of the Communist Ayatollah

We do not know how long he will exist but the myth of the Communist Ayatollah must surely soon disappear under the weight of his inherently contradictory label. Enjoy the farce while it lasts.

Attempting to appeal to their own bases, Umno jumped to label him a communist as it is repugnant to the Malays. MCA, still lost in the same woods they found themselves in in 2008, jumped in to paint him as an ‘Ayatollah’, appealing to the Chinese fear of Malaysia becoming a Muslim theocracy.

He cannot be both, as Communists do not subscribe to the concept of religion. Marx described religion as the ‘opiate of the masses’, believing it to be a tool of the ruling classes to keep the people under control.

In fact, PAS deputy president Mat Sabu is neither; and the Communist Ayatollah is another creation of an ever more desperate BN.

Nor are they interested in coordinating their stories. Umno and MCA live still in a mythical pre-2008 world where people will swallow whatever gibberish is shoveled at them.

They then have 'pretend' fights with each other; as MCA president Chua Soi Lek and Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin were doing on Friday; intended to make each look like a champion of their respective races. Very droll but also terribly old and over-used.

And of course let us not forget the police and the AG for their slobbering syncophancy in coming up with some way of charging Mat Sabu for, essentially, his opinion. They are, truly, BN’s best friend.

Oxymoronic

Mat Sabu described, quite rightly, the whole business as hilarious.

Into this vicious comedic circle bursts Chua Jui Meng today with the extremely amusing but unarguably accurate view that Chua Soi Lek will never take MCA out of the BN because he will immediately be charged for oral sex by the BN.

That will silence Chua Soi Lek for a while. But not for long, the man would not understand shame if he was hit over the head with it.

So let’s be clear, Communism and Religious Theocracies do not mix. The Communist Ayatollah is therefore an oxymoron, like Honest and BN, or Intelligent and Hishammuddin.

And we have a new label for all these purveyors of fantastical tales.

Farcists.
