>"And then, we take the means of production so that the prolerati... proteratia... the good guys can win!" >A 14-year-old Lisa, sitting on a chair in her room, carefully listened to her 11-year-old sister. "So let me get this straight." Lisa finally answered. "You're a Marxist now?" >"Yes!" "And you want to start the revolution? In the United States of America?" >"Duh! Here's where I live!" "Ok, tell me, little sister, how did you come across this?" >"Well." Lily rubbed her small chin. " It all started when I was googling color stars to paste on my diary." "Uh huh..." >Lisa carefully examined Lily. The blonde girl was wearing a black beret with a red star (that had a happy face) attached to it, a black shirt with the face of Che Guevara that was too big for her to wear, her blue, flowered jeans and a pair of pink converse shoes. "Where did you get that shirt?" >"Ronnie Anne gave it to me. She said that Bobby used to wear it when he was a teenager. Say, you're a teenager too, why aren't you fighting the system?" >Lisa took her glasses off and began to clean them. "First of all, I don't believe in protesting for like 40 mins on the streets and then going back home thinking I did something. Second of all, I don't really like walking long distances." >"But the rich guys want to oppress us! We need to do something about them!" "Trust me, Lily, the last thing the State or what you would call the "bourgeoise" are thinking of, is to oppress an 11-year-old white girl from the suburbs." >"But you don't get it! We need to start the revolution!" "Say, Lily. Have you read Marx?" >"Y-yes?" "Reading a resume of the Communist Manifesto is not reading Marx. Here." >Lisa gave Lily her Library Card. >"Look for Das Kapital and after you read it, then you'll be able to call yourself a real revolutionary." >"Really?! I just need to read that?" "Oh yes~" >After that, Lily ran out of the room and out of the house.   >Hours later, when Lily came back home from the library, she threw the card back at Lisa. >"You're a real meanie!" "What? I thought you wanted to be a real revolutionary." >"The book is like... five bibles! Why do you want me to read that?!" "Do you think that the people who started these revolutions threw themselves without knowing a thing about them? They had to study Marx for months or even years and the people who came after they had to study these people too. It's not as easy as telling the government to stop being bad." >"But..." "Besides, you ALSO need to read the other side of the coin. Here, I borrowed this book from a colleague." >Lisa pulled out an enormous book and gave it to her little sister. >"W-what is this?" "The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. A classic. Do you want to know how Capitalism works? Read this before reading Marx." >"B-but it's huge..." "Who said changing the world was easy? Oh, right, you also need to read Lenin, Stalin, Gramsci, Mao, Guevara, Castro and know what they did wrong and what they did right. But most of them did way more bad than good and... Lily?" >The little sister began to cry. >"I-I just wanted to make the world a happy place... I-is it really that hard?" >Lisa, realizing that she was talking with an 11-year-old sighed and pulled her into a hug. "I mean... yeah, it's hard, but nothing that's worth in this life is easy, you know? But I'm sure you'll be able to pull it off in time." >"Y-you mean it?" Lily said while wiping off her tears. "Of course! You're my sister after all." >"Then, will you help me?" "Oh well, I'd love to but... I'm super busy with my classes and I have a couple of presentations and..." >But she wasn't prepared for Lily's puppy eyes. "So this is what Lincoln had to go through, huh." She thought to herself. "Alright, alright, I'll help you! But not right-" >"Great!" Lily said while sitting with Lisa, opening Smith's book." >Lisa sighed. "Fine... I have some free time, let's see..."       >Some days later, Lily was walking around her room (Lincoln's old room). >"Alright, SubCommander Bunbun, I think it's time to establish our party." >The stuffed bunny, now wearing a black cap with a red star that Lily did herself and an eyepatch, also with a red star, was listening to her leader. >"First! We need to choose a design, a symbol that represents our fight for the portela... protelo... proleniat... the good guys!" >Lily took out a small pink notebook with the words "Lily's Manifesto: Top secret!" with a frowny face scribbled all over it and opened it in one of the first pages. >"Alright, look at this, Subcommander Bunbun." The girl showed the stuffed bunny a couple of drawings. >The first one was the face of Bunbun in front of a hammer and a sickle. >The second one was that of Lily standing triumphantly over an unconscious older girl and a huge red star as the background. >"See? This one is you." The girl pointed at the first drawing. "And this is me on top of Lola. Just don't show it to her." >Suddenly, her door opened with force, revealing a beautiful 16-year-old girl. >"Hey, twerp, have you seen- what are you doing?" Lola asked. >Lily immediately hid her notebook behind her saying "Nothing, go away you Consumerist!" >Lola rolled her eyes and using her superior strength she forced herself into the room. >"Give me that, twerp." >"Lola! You're not allowed into my room! LOLA!" The girl screamed with annoyance, but her sister didn't care, taking away her notebook. >"Hey, what is this?! Am I dead?!" >"No! You just fainted! Now give me that!" >Lola rolled her eyes, and violently poked Lily in the middle of the eyes with two of her fingers, several times. >"I'M. TIRED. OF. YOUR. MARXIST. GAMES." >"Ouch! Why are you so mean, Lola!" >"Why are you so weird? I can do the same!" The older girl said in a mocking voice. "Well whatever, twerp. I have a date. Oh yes, I forgot, have you seen my hairbrush?" >"Get out of my room, you meanie!" Lily said while rubbing her forehead. >"Why you little-" >"Lola, are you bullying Lily again?" A voice said behind her back. >"Ugh! I'm not bullying her, I'm just asking where is my hairbrush, that's all!" >"Yeah, I saw the whole thing. If I ever see you doing that to her again, you'll see what happens." Lisa said. >"Oh yeah? What are you going to do, huh?" >"I don't know, Mrs. "I need help with arithmetic exam because if I fail it I won't be able to go out for three weeks", you tell me." >Lola bit her lip, she had her by her unexisting balls. >"Whatever, I have other things to do." >She walked out of the door and past Lisa into her own room. >Lisa sighed and looked at Lily, who was on the brink of tears. >"Hey there, Red Star, are you alright?" >"N-no..." Lily was having trouble speaking, her words being blocked by the tears in her throat. >"Hey come on, tell me what happened. >After a small conversation where Lisa hugged a tearing Lily while patting her head, the older sister sighed. >"Why is she always so mean to me, Lisa?" >"Ignore her, Lily, ever since she started dating boys, she became unbearable." >"But she doesn't hit you or hurt any of you, only me! Why does she hate me?" >"Come on, Red Star, she's annoying but she doesn't hate you." Lisa said while rubbing Lily on the back. >Lily's tears began to flow down her cheeks. >"Oh no, come on, Red Star, don't cry!" >Lisa didn't know what to do until she had an idea. >"I know! Hey! Lana, get in here!" >"In a minute!" Their older sister answered from the other side of the hallway. >She opened the door and walked into Lily's room. >"Hey, what's up- What's wrong, Lily?!" She asked. >"Lola." Lisa said. >Lana rolled her eyes. "Oh that little- what did she do now?" >Lily, tears still rolling down her face, moved her hands away from her forehead, to reveal some red marks on it. >Anger showed in the 16-year-old girl before a smile replaced it. "How are we going to do it, sis?" >"She's about to go out on a date. Do you still have that used oil?" >"Haha, always!" She said, pulling it from behind her.   >Half an hour later, the trio were hiding behind the house, seeing Lola slipping at the front door and covering her favorite dress in black, unwashable oil, in front of her crush. >"LANA! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" >"Oh, sorry sis!" Lana said, walking from behind the house. "It was a little accident, you don't mind, do you, dude?" >Lola's crush, trying to hide his laughter, shook his head, amused by the whole situation. >"See? Now you two go and enjoy yourselves." >From the hiding spot, Lily was covering her mouth, trying to hide her laughter. >"Another victory against the system, right, Lily?" Lisa said. >"Yes! Commander Bunbun will love this!" Lily answered. >The older sister smiled and she lovingly rubbed her sister's head.
