::: ai slop Following years after the faked death of Leon Trotsky in Mexico by ice pick, a mysterious figure began appearing on American television screens. He had a white goatee, a black string tie, and a kindly yet authoritative demeanor. He called himself Colonel Harland Sanders. But this was no mere businessman; it was Leon Trotsky, living the dream he had once confessed to his powerful friend over a glass of strong Georgian wine.
"Iosef," he had whispered, "the People crave sustenance that is both efficient and delicious. They crave a symbol of proletarian triumph they can hold in their hands." Stalin, a man who appreciated grand, theatrical schemes, had seen the genius in this. And so, he assisted in staging Leon's death, paving the way for "Operation Red Rooster."
Using the capitalistic system as his cover, Trotsky had not merely imitated the Colonel Sanders persona—he had become him. The "secret recipe" for Kentucky Fried Chicken was the direct result of his old ideological quest for the perfect proletarian snack.
Stalin would occasionally see the advertisements from behind the Iron Curtain. He'd watch his old comrade, now the world's most famous capitalist icon, and chuckle to himself. "Good for you, Leon," he'd murmur. "You have achieved permanent revolution... one crispy recipe at a time." The ultimate ideological subversion was complete. :::
