- Smurfs live in a utopian society where individual initiative is rarely, if ever, rewarded. The Smurf village can be easily interpreted as a giggling caricature of a Marxist commune.
- There is no money in the Smurf economy.
- The Smurfs are ruled by Papa Smurf, a 546-year-old autocrat who resembles Karl Marx.
It's also been written that Brainy Smurf looks like Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. YouTube ; Wikimedia Commons
