stuart, all this belongs to the ´because, russia´ thread

I put it in the Ukraine thread because its directly related to Ukraine, but presumably the Cake Police had other ideas. :)

What would happen to a communist baker in London today?

These days, opioids appear to be the opiate of the masses.

What kind of barbarous nation would sic the legal system against bakers on the grounds of messages on their cakes? 🙄

A pro-American cake in 1938 would have landed the baker a ten year sentence in a corrective labour camp without right of correspondence.  In 1968, a diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia and an indefinite stay in a high security psychiatric "hospital". This is just a fine.  So this is progress for Russia.

...bankruptcy?

Only if the bakery was in a Black neighbourhood.  In most of the region at that time, they'd do distressingly well.

It was a jab at the madness that has engulfed the United States for quite some time.   For the last decade, leftist activists have legally harassed a Christian baker in Colorado, who refuses to write messages in his cakes that violate his christian beliefs.

As far as I'm concerned, even a religious protection should be unnecessary.  Government should not have the power to force anyone into an involuntary transaction, for any reason.

Today is certainly much different than 1960, which is the date Stuart mentioned.

Surely they'd be giving away all of their cakes to the needy?

Yeah, but I replied to Ryan.

I'd expect no less from them, than to let them have cake.

Here is joke about that:

Two guys meet in Gulag...one says "I got 15 yrs for anti-social behaviour, what you got?"

"I got 10 yrs and didn't even do anything!"

" Don't lie! If you had not done anything, they'd have given you just 5 yrs!"

:D

Surely you must see that stopping fascism requires arresting as many noncompliant people as possible.

Do communists give away their own stuff? I though the mantra was forcing others to give to the needy?

A good point, well made.
