| abstract | - The Fake Communist Party (also known as the Communist Party of the United States of America (Not Really) abbreviated to CPUSA(NR)) is an American political party. It was founded in 1890 by a pretend cadre of fake communists, lead by Gunter "Vive la Faux Revolution" Dupree and Walter "How Do You Spell Che?" O'Malley. The party's platform is nominally based on Marxist doctrine, but was actually copied from "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Graham. The party has never been particularly successful in American politics, with William McKinley being the only US President to come from its ranks. Opinion is divided on why the CPUSA(NR) has had so little success, with most analysts saying that the problem lies in the inherent stupidity of the idea; and the CPUSA(NR) themselves not really seeing it that way. A recent interview with CPUSA(NR) General Secretary, Jimmy "Pretend Mao" Wilkins, published in Uncyclopedia Today Magazine illustrates this last point: UTM: I think the first question that comes to mind when people think of the Fake Communist Party is: "just what the hell is the deal, there?" Wilkins: It's basically a very, very cunning ruse. By pretending to be Communists, we get the red vote. But by not being real Communists, we don't alienate non-Communist voters. UTM: Historically, communism hasn't been a popular movement in the United States. The "red vote", as you put it, is negligable. On the other hand, your vaguely defined real platform, your frequent use of Socialist Realist imagery and your candidates' repeated claims that the "streets will run red with the blood of the borgousiette (sic)" clearly alienates many voters. Do you think that this has contributed to your appauling lack of success? Wilkins: (long pause) Am I president yet?
