Living it up ... Communist-style

There's something a little odd about this picture ... the suit, the place (Neatherlands), the company (Ara Mina, a Filipina movie sex symbol), and the event (a Christmas bash).

This is Jose Maria Sison, the self-proclaimed figure head of the Communist Party of the Philippines ... living it up and boasting about it.
In the meantime, comrades-in-arms back in the Philippines are hiding in jungles ... hunting for food and facing the elements to fight for their cause.
I remember a song that the "Pet Shop Boys" made a hit back in the 80's and some of the lyrics go like this ...
"I've got the brains ... you've got the brawn ... Let's make lots of money ... "
I guess in this case, the lyrics should go ...
"I've got the brains ... you've got the brawn ... Let's fight for the commies ... "
I've always had admiration for a person who fights for a cause (whatever that cause may be) ... but how can you admire a person who just flaps his mouth and let's others do the fighting?
