    Isn't the joke here that he's childish for comparing "eat your greens hun" with "Soviet opression"? That in fact, it's pretty alright in the US if that's his complaint?

        Ah, but that’s only one layer submerged. Even deeper analysis reveals that the true joke is that Calvin is the boy under censorship and oppression, destined to be exploited his whole life and have that fact obscured from him. Thus, the “stupid” Lima beans signify swallowing the ideology that makes one stupid

            the real joke is that calvin’s dad is comparing the constant oppression of the american empire to merely having to eat lima beans.

            Dumb lib dad making false equivocations. Funny joke.

            The beans literally make you dumb, and we all eat them together. Eat them with me son. Enjoy the treats of American empire
