I'm reminded of the horrible cartoon in which Mickey shot Minnie: Why?
'Cause she's fuckin' goofy!

Show me a socialist for Mickey Mouse and I'll show you a mickey-mouse
Socialist. Socialism is the Disney version of Communism -- except of course
national-socialism, which is the Fox reality Tv version. A social-democrat 
walked into
a bar ...

One of the early Disney cartoons featured a henhouse where the chickens were
super-exploited by the rooster-bossman (later transmogrified in political
discourse into a pig as epigone) and forced to lay egges at an inhuman (!) rate.
Along came the original Donald Duck as a character called Little Red Hensky --
skinnier than when Uncle Scrooge belatedly enterred the geneology, with little
pince-nez glasses and a goatee a la Lev Trotsky. His job was to organize the
hen-proletarians to strike for better pay by withholding their eggs. He
fulminates  and brow beats them (yes, even fowl have brows) adn they win comfy
conditions. But they keep laying egges and Hensky heads off into the sunset for
another battle, crying "give me liberty or give me Cobb!"

No, seriously, folks:

This is not necessarily a metaphor appropriate to deconstructionists. I hear
Zizek is either in bed or cahoots with Camille Paglia.

Can't wait for the movie to come out on DVD.
