Hilarious

Geeez! That's hilarious, but very sad at the same time. Too bad we can't just scoop up those idiots and put them to work building roads or something useful. That's a lot of wasted humanity. Maybe some of it is salvageable.
Many college students grow out of it. I have less hope for that long haired dude on the bicycle.
The ignorance of the disgruntled youth waving Soviet flags is staggering, and I find it dismaying that such people are Americans. I suppose that, for some people, it takes the experience of crushing oppression and debilitating fear to get rid of such naive and romantic idealism. Perhaps a stay in any one of the many N. Korean concentration camps would do the trick.
Speaking of N. Korean concentration camps, I just read the moving and fascinating autobiography of Kang Chol-Hwan, a Korean who spent much of his childhood in the Yodok camp, which, by N. Korean gulag standards, is relatively easy. Of course, by our standards, it's unbelievably brutal and horrifying. The book is entitled The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag. I encourage you to read it, then wonder why left-wingers, those supposed pantheons of humanitarianism, consistently side with N. Korea in our relations. Remember the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of wackos who marched in various protests organized by International ANSWER? It was well-publicized at the time that International ANSWER is an off-shoot of the Workers World Party, which, among other things, actively supports Kim Jong Il and works to promote the full gamut of Stalinist communism. Yet, this didn't stop the young American idealogues from marching on ANSWER's behalf. Hell, even a well-informed co-worker (a self-professed humanitarian, mind you) of mine marched in San Francisco knowing full well who ANSWER was. I still maintain that we should declare San Francisco part of the Axis of Evil, then invade and occupy (if not nuke).
Unfortunately, the anarchists and communists classify such works as fiction. They've seemingly got a reality deflection sphere in place around their heads.
