French sociologist and author Antoine Buéno has written a book called “The Little Blue Book” that claims that the popular cartoon characters, The Smurfs are socialist, racist and anti-Semitic and are living under the dictatorship of Papa Smurf, in what he insinuates is similar to a Nazi regime. The Huffington Post reports:

As relayed by Todayxsm.com, Buéno says that Papa Smurf, the leader of the village, is an authoritarian figure, and that their lack of private property and collective-style economy is a clear nod to socialism. Meanwhile, their enemy seems Jewish: Gargamel, the monster that haunts the village, matches negative Jewish caricatures and his cat’s name is Azrael, the French author writes, while Smurfette, for a long time the only female in the village, is a vision of aryan perfection.

“The first comic strip, ‘The Black Smurfs,’ was intimately concerned with what you might classify as a racial threat,” he said. “Because in that album, the smurfs are sick. And when they’re sick, they don’t turn purple or red or anything like that, they become black. And when they become black, they lose all trace of intelligence. THey become completely moronic. And further more, they can no longer speak, they just go ‘nyap nyap nyap.'”
