Wish you a Comunist Christmas - A Manifest

Due to the overwhelming amount of complaints pertaining to the commercialization of the christmas season and festivities, I, the great G, have decided to do something about it, or better said, propose a solution to it that ought to be brought into action immediately. Due to the fact that capitalism is the root of commercialism, I propose to turn over the festivities to the opposing ideology: Communism.
Firstly, Santa Claus.
The red velvet suit with fur trim is the dress of the of the Oligarchy. Let us substitute that for the trappings of a member of the Politburo, and have his sack brimming with corn and steel... and food coupons. That way it reminds us that it is the fatherland (and the party) that provides, ultimately, for us.
The Bethlehem star is too nationalistic, and due to the internationality of the feast it should not be stuck to a particular place but be equal for all men. The Bethlehem Star-Sickle-and-Hammer is better.
The adoration of the three Wise Kings... gone! Expropriation of the Kings is better. Of their lands, of their properties, and of their titles.
Joseph as a factory worker, Mary as an agricultural worker, the bull and ass as a trabant car and a tractor. This symbolizes that the working classes are united.
The angel that heralds the Good News: Marx, or Lenin... or both. For it is they that gave us the glorious ideas of communism.
As for the presents, I believe that identical gifts to every member of the household, likely socks, are the best idea. Strong, utilitarian gifts that serve the function of functionality.

And there it is, the plan for substituting the White(Menshevik) Christmas for a more righteous, true, and correct Red(Bolshevik) Christmas.
Thank you
