I doubt that anyone here is arguing in favor of communism. Besides, 
under communism as actually practised, the proles didn't have a say 
one way or the other. Given the loony devotion to the stuffed corpse 
of Lenin, I suspect the boss-classes might have been inclined to 
support cryonics for themselves and their families if the idea had 
occurred to them.

Or is "communists" or "commies" here a sardonic shorthand for "bread& 
circus voters" in the allegedly socialist USA?
