After the huge success of Saturday's post on Trot chat-up lines - inspired in large measure by a drinking session with the Stroppies, it should be said - it turns out that earlier this year the libertarian communists over at libcom.org.uk were thinking along similar lines.
Here's some of the best cheesy gags that contemporary representatives of that noble political tradition could come up with:
(6) Hey sweet thang, wanna dictate my proletariat?
(5) Is your father a commissar of production and distribution? Because he surely expropriated some bourgeois diamonds for your eyes ...
(4) Hey baby, if I said you had a peasantry capable of being led by a tiny working class would you hold it against me?
(3) Wanna see my bra? It's a size (provisional) CC.
(2) Trotsky was all for women's lib, you know ... have you heard of Nadezhda Krupskaya?
(1) Are you a girl? Please will you talk to me. I promise not to mention Trotsky.
Extra-special bonus Posadist pick-up line: Did it hurt? When you fell from your sexy spaceship come to liberate the proletariat?
Compiled with the help of the posters on Urban75.com and first partly published in Freedom newspaper, or so I'm told.

"Are you a girl? Please will you talk to me. I promise not to mention Trotsky."
Like this one, not that all leftie men are sad weirdie badly dressed types who should get out more ...
I wonder who it was that drew your attention to that article...
I thought number five was incredible... and will definately be trying it out at our anarcho-lefty curry night tomorrow.
Jim
let us know if its a successful chat up :-)
I can tell you now it didn't work :( although I'll still try it :)
So Jim, what are the top ten green or anarcho-lefty chat up lines :-)
How about
'Will you have my babies? I'd love to militarize your labour'
“The militarization of labour is unthinkable without the militarization of trade unions, without the introduction of a regime under which every worker feels himself a soldier of labour who cannot dispose himself freely. If an order is given to transfer him, he must carry it out. If he does not carry it out, he will be a deserter who is punished.” Leon Trotsky

Is that an ice pick in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?

Sorry to sound pedantic but shouldn't it be Lenin was all for..... as opposed to Trotsky as she was Lenin's other but better'alf.
