Contrarian Edition

As the great philosopher, Mao, once said, "A revolution is only a success when it's a failure."

But have you ever wondered what would happen if the revolution failed? Would the people rise up against the oppressors, or would they just shrug and go back to bed?

Well, wonder no more, because I've got the answer: the people would probably just eat more noodles.

But wait, it gets better! The noodles wouldn't even be that great. They'd be the kind of noodles that make you wonder why you ever bothered.

So, the people would just sit around, eating their disappointing noodles, and thinking, "Well, at least we have our freedom to do that."

And the revolution would be a success... in the most boring way possible.

As I always say, "A successful revolution is like a failed noodle: it's not that exciting, but it's still something."
