They realized that food is responsible for communism's existence. Without food, there wouldn't be any communism.
Flip-flops are another term for sandals or a kind of sandal, they kind of flop between your feet and the ground. They're a popular item at beaches so to see more of it in the flip-flop of the hypocrisy (other meaning here) than on the beach is quite a feat.
Stalin used to present his guests with large, luxurious meals, only to eat all of it with a single stroke of his legendary spoon, flexing on and intimidating all that were present. It is known. 
If the churches were full, it was a sign of the citizen's defiance against the state. If the churches were empty, it was a sign of their oppression.
::: spoiler The quote
In the United States, for over a hundred years, the ruling interests tirelessly propagated anticommunism among the populace, until it became more like a religious orthodoxy than a political analysis. During the Cold War, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum. :::

What point is intimidating your guests if you don't even break out the comically large spoon in front of them?
And the decadence of White House banquets is purely done out of appreciation for its guests?
Hey, once they did, unlike the normal WH feasts when you see on their faces they would rather stab the other participants, in this case there was some real enthusiasm i seen on the pictures.
Most American picture ever. Well, not the most American, but to get more red-white-and-blue we'd have start linking graphic pictures of genocides and war crimes, and this is a family publication.
Was the Economist the one that fervently defended the US's decision to block the UN resolution which deemed food is a human right? Or was it another lib news site?
Me in front of my fourth lasagna of the evening: "Please grandpa, I'll burst if I have another"
Stalin, preparing to dish out a comically large soufflé: "Eat theory, lib"
^Molotov, somehow maneuvering a nuclear freighter through the kitchen: "Make room for dessert!"^
Don't forget Kaganovich coming in with the finisher in the form of trainloads worth of good soviet wine, soviet champagne, and soviet tap water (vodka, lol)
liberasts: “lol communist breadlines” also liberasts: “eek tankies using knifes at dinner”
To be fair, liberal society is so violent and anti-social that it's probably hard for them to comprehend someone using the knife to cut food, as is considered civilized in the west. In the lib mind, it's only a matter of time before somebody takes a knife and goes on a stabbing spree.
Knifes, forks, a spoon...
Seems like Stalin made the west shit itself with the whole arsenal of a typical kitchen shelf
Ah that's why the economist supports British imposed famines in the colonies. I get it now.
The primitive and fearful Anglo brainpan can only comprehend social interaction along the axis of intimidation and submission
Evil Stalin understanding the value of hospitality and treating his guests graciously
TBH i would not have survived one of Stalin's feasts. They would go on several hours into the late of the night, with many toasts of vodka. I would've easily passed out like a noob
as it happens, the revolution was actually a lot like a dinner party. And for the most part I was totally fine with it, but that changed when a shadowey moustachioed figured appeared in the doorwar with what appeared to be a giagantic spoon. several people fainted, and I didn't end up eating anything, it was scooped off my plate before my very eyes.
