The BBC shows us pretty pictures of a display of Chairman Mao badges at the British Museum: they are said to be "very red, very bright, and very shiny" by Museum Curator Helen Weng. 

One of the striking features of living in Poland is to visit flea markets such as the good one in Krakow and see shabby bits and pieces of Nazi and Communist memorabilia displayed together.

Here in the UK in exclusive Piccadilly Arcade you can visit the Iconastas shop and buy chic Soviet propaganda: snap up this finely painted late Soviet revolutionary plate for a mere £2350.00.

But attempts to sell Nazi trinkets in shops here cause outrage. On-line sales have problems too.

I confess. While in Russia I bought a large very red tassled Communist woven banner exorting Ukrainian farmers to Unite for Socialism. Plus a metal Lenin: something like it is being sold by Iconastas for £1350.00 – a canny investment. And I have a kitschy Tito porcelain bust – he’s back in fashion too!

All this shows just how magnificent the Communist achievement has been in turning Morality inside-out.

Work hard at school, become the greatest mass murderer in history, busily spread STDs, and you too can have your shiny red badges displayed at the British Museum.
