I lol'd.

ONCE THE GOVERNMENT TAKES OVER THE WORLD, WE WON'T EVEN NEED A GOVERNMENT ANYMORE.

[ComradeOm]

This Godless Communism is pure class. I love it. Its also not a bad introduction to materialism

[RED DAVE]

I remember that shit when I was a kid. There was a whole series sponsored by General Electric, and one of them featured a teenage boy and girl escaping from Communism. Also the Blackhawk comic books were pretty consistently anticommunist (but occasionally also antifascist and antidictatorship).

Those were the days, my friend ... .

For an antidote, see if you can find the Scrooge McDuck episode about Tra-La-La.

Guy 1: They've taken over Chicago's biggest building for temporary government headquarters.

Guy 2: Took it away from the owner without asking!

Those are some of the best comics that I've seen in all my life.:laugh:

"Let's write our representative in Washington!"

That'll show those damn commies, Billy! :laugh:

My favorite panel from "Godless Communism":

As if rabid anti-communism isn't enough, racial stereotypes also find their way into it. IIRC there's also a part where the Ukrainians welcome their Nazi liberators from godless Bolshevism with open arms.

[Tavarisch_Mike]

Haha i love it!:lol:

Yes I remember Carl Barks made a few Donald Duck stories that seemed anticapitalistic. He was a great artist.

[scarletghoul]

hahaha.:laugh: these are awesome. I love the Marx as a student interpreting Hegel - "good! he does not believe in a free will"

edit : and that guy talking to the woman by the water cooler about russian politcs, lol

"...all the catholic priests and sisters are being sent to a labor camp"

They stole my idea, dammit.

[Roach]

My favourite part of the comic is America under Communism.It make's the American society and culture look so stupid and naive that if somebody showed me these comics and said that it was a parody,I would actuallly believe.
It's probably the most crude and shameless propaganda in the history of mankind.

[RED DAVE]

But nothing, ever, tops this shit:

This is my favorite part of the whole series. It actually tells you that he's in Mexico City, but just in case the good American boy or girl is too stupid to figure it out, Mercader is wearing traditional Mexican garb. It's really hilarious if you imagine other historical events with people dressed in their traditional clothes.

Oh, and the Ukrainians supported the Nazis because they wanted to GO TO CHURCH SOOOOO BADLY!!!

[Jazzhands]

materialist=man who does not believe in any spiritual reality.

He was a marked man...MARKED BY THE COMMUNISTS. (http://www.misterkitty.org/extras/stupidcovers/stupidcomics144.html)

I noticed that one of Marx's buddies in that comic was wearing lederhosen :D

[Red Commissar]

If I'm not mistaken McCarthy loved Godless Communism.

The way the draw people though... goddamn. Khrushchev looks like some rapist.

Whats disturbs me moste about the picture, is that trotsky was killed with an ice axe, not a mining axe.

Another disturbing thing is that when his bodyguards were about to kill Mercader, he supposedly said, "Don't kill him! This man has a story to tell." I think this is bullshit. He had a freaking ICE AXE in his skull. His last words were probably more like "BLAAAAAARGHGURRRRRRRGLE...SHITWAFFLES!!!COCK!!!"

[Tavarisch_Mike]

Haha no he would clearly be dead with this thing in his head, but howcome his bodyguards failed in rescuing him and also failed in capturing Mercander?

His last words were probably more like "BLAAAAAARGHGURRRRRRRGLE...SHITWAFFLES!!!COCK!!!"I'm not a huge Trotsky fan but even I've got to admit that his last moments* were pretty badass. After being brained in the back of the head with an ice axe he got up and wrestled Mercader to the ground while calling for his bodyguards. He was then lucid enough to talk to a doctor before being brought to hospital

*To be dramatic - he actually died the next day

[Catillina]

Damned that comic completly convinced me, that communism is the evil invention of a crazy men, as his stupid followers :D

[Sir Comradical]

If Trotskyites were anything like Christians, they'd hang an ice-axe around their necks and make the ice-axe their symbol.

[RED DAVE]

howcome his bodyguards failed in rescuing him and also failed in capturing Mercander?Writing from memory:

Mercader spent months worming his way into Trotsky's entourage. He seduced Sylvia Ageloff, Trotsky's personal secretary and used her to gain access to Trotsky. Some time after the assassination attempt led by Siquieros failed, Mercader went to visit Trotsky with the ice ax in a sling under his jacket.

While Trotsky was reading an article Mercader had written, Mercader took the axe from under his jacket and attacked Trotsky. Mercaderdidn't escape. Trotksy held him until the guards came in. They wrestled Mercader to the ground and turned him over to the Mexican police. Trotsky died the next day.

One of my vivid memories from the mid-1970s, after the release of Joseph Losey's disgusting film, was hearing a discussion of the assassination by Harold Robbins, who had been captain of Trotsky's bodyguards that day. Robbins, in my opinion, had never gotten over what happened.

Good article: Forty Years Since Trotsky's Assassination (http://www.marxist.net/trotsky/life/life.htm)

This Godless Communism is pure class. I love it. Its also not a bad introduction to materialismI love how messy the draw Marx's desk. It's as if to say, can you trust the ideology of a guy who can't clean the ink spill off his desk?

Hilarious stuff.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51f3cElYgYL._SL500_AA300_.jpg (http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Presents-Greatest-DuckTales-Stories/dp/1888472383/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283231328&sr=8-1)

The Scrooge story Red Dave talked about is in this collection. It's good stuff - even as an adult - and if you are part of my generation, then you probably remember these stories when they were remade in the "Duck Tales" show. The comics are better though and it's nice that Barks (who is very influential among creators of underground and alternative comics - the Mouse Liberation Front/Air Pirates and the creator of Bone for example) actually gets the credit for his work now - originally these comics said "by Walt Disney".


If Trotskyites were anything like Christians, they'd hang an ice-axe around their necks and make the ice-axe their symbol.We eat wafers that symbolize permanent revolution - a dialectical transubstantiation process occurs in which quantitative change becomes qualitative change and the wafer becomes the body of Christ.



Where the hell is Rosa? That joke was for her.

Almost as old as the internet, but still pretty cool.

"Things like courage and beauty can not be measured, but we know they exist."

Damn, that is a good point. Never thought of that. I wonder how Marx dealt with such cognitive dissonance.

The problem is we can't build a society off things so subjective. Does courage really exist? Or is it stupidity? Is it a person's personal ignorance of the risk they are taking. Different cultures have different views of courage- one culture's courage is another's cowardice.

[Crvena-Zastava]

At least the Soviets were good with their propaganda, this comic is not even fit to wipe my ass.

I also find the armbands curious, too. They try to portray Communism as equivalent to Fascism, but how can opposites be the same as one another? I also notice how they constantly mention God. Why would you be so worried about this strange adaptation of "Communism" taking over, when you yourself are so brainwashed by false deities and a bloodthirsty religion?

Stupidity at its finest.

[L.A.P.]

OH NO! They took down the crucifixes how un-American and communist!-completely disregards the constitution saying "separation of church from state"-

Soviet propaganda wasn't this funny. ;)
