Chinese Marx, Engels, etc. posters

[fa2991]

I was thinking about ordering this 20x28 Engels poster

http://www.maoposter.com/clickcart/products.asp?id=1977&cat=1992+++Friedrich+Engels+20+x+28+%28p060013%29&search=1#

from MaoPoster, but what's an Engels poster without Marx? I looked into it and apparently the only Marx one of a similar size is double the price and published 30 years earlier.

So, do you guys know anywhere else these posters, particularly the Marx,

http://www.maoposter.com/clickcart/products.asp?id=96&Cat=Posters&SubCat=Soviet+Union+%2F+Communist+Leaders&SubCatID=40#

are sold for a tad less?

[KC]

Why on earth would you want those?

:lol: I love me some Marx & Engels, and those are my favorite portraits of them.

[praxis1966]

They all seem so well tanned. Something tells me that none of those guys were that dark skinned, you know, being from Central and Eastern Europe and all.

Then get a life and learn that there's more important things to put on your walls like stuff that doesn't look like complete shit.

[fa2991]

:laugh: @ at the idea of anything on anyone's wall being at all important.

Well, Marx was nicknamed "Moor' for his dark skin, wasn't he?

If you say so. But what's the excuse for Engels and Lenin then?

[fa2991]

Shortage of light colored paint in China? :lol:

i honestly cant understand how you care so much about this

[Invincible Summer]

I don't trust a site that's called "Maoposter," yet has more posters of Deng Xiaopeng and 0 more copies of the Little Red Book than actual stuff involving Mao.

Marx was Jewish, Lenin had some Jew and Mongolian in him, Stalin was Georgian; it's probable that they all were a bit dark. Not sure about Engels tho..

[Queercommie Girl]

Lenin's father was partly Asiatic, that's true.

:lol: I know, right? He cares more about the shit I hang up than I do.

Actually, if you look around it has a number of Cultural Revolution posters where Mao is the sun, Telletubbies-style.

They sell these kind of posters in China town in London, so they might at the nearest China town to you

[RedStarOverChina]

$16.00 for a printed poster? :confused: I don't think Marx would have approved of that.

Indeed. He'd be outraged at the cheapening of his image.

Yes, i know, that's not quite what you meant.

Yeah, neither i understand why some make such a thing about this. OP just asked if anyone known a better price for some posters.

I don't think you know much about Central and Eastern Europe.

Protip: Germany isn't usually counted as part of CEE either.

[praxis1966]

I don't really think Jewish heritage can be used as an accurate predictor of skin tone unless the person is Sephardic. My experience has been, having spent quite a bit of time in the Northeastern US, that most Jews are as pale as the day is long. Anyway, I'm not disagreeing that Marx was dark skinned, just that it was surprising is all. Not that I actually give a shit what these people's heritage was; it's the ideas that are important after all...


I don't think you know much about Central and Eastern Europe.

Protip: Germany isn't usually counted as part of CEE either.

Except that all the folks I've met from Central and Eastern Europe were incredibly fair skinned. I'm aware that there are darker skinned people (like Serbs, Croats, etc), but that's not what we're talking about. And Germany is counted as part of Central Europe, at least in the US.

Oh snap!

Cuz hanging Marx/Lenin on your wall is stupid.

I just bought this Jacob Bannon print for a steal:

You're right. You just lumped all of Central and East Europe together to make a generalisation.

I'll be sure to inform my department that we've been 'spouting nonsense' then. If you base your ideas of CEE on purely geographical location then I can see why you would reach such a conclusion.

[praxis1966]

You're right. You just lumped all of Central and East Europe together to make a generalisation.

Wrong again, dragon breath. I lumped them together because that's where Marx, Engels, and Lenin were from. I couldn't very well just say Central Europe or Eastern Europe as those guys didn't all come from the same region of the continent. And it's spelled 'generalization.'

What department would that be? The Department of Unnecessarily Argumentative Curmudgeons?

You're not very good at this game, are you? It's spelled 'generalization' in American English.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/generalization
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/generalisation

I'm not American.

I also think you'll find that you put the full stop after quotation marks, so it would be: 'generalisation'. You also shouldn't begin a sentence with the word 'and'.

The department of Central and East European Studies.

Must have owned that guy pretty hard as he's been rpelying to other threads but not this one.
