One thing I will say for you commie bastards

[Os Cangaceiros]

Communists know style. The whole Red Star? Very stylish. Plus the huge, voluminous facial hair thing works too.

Plus, Communists put out some very good propaganda. A lot of it is actually pretty artistic and creative. Maybe I just like it because red is my favorite color. "Battleship Potemkin" is a great film, at least from a stylistic standpoint.

Anarchists are sorely lacking in these departments, in my opinion. Yeah, the all black thing only goes so far. :(

Oh, I am far more likely to go for B&W over, say, something like ... say ... this:

See all the extra wheat we can grow when we put our minds to it and have a Great Leader?

I like this one myself:

The valiant Red Army soldier defending the noble workers. Awesome. Plus, it's red.

Oh ... my ... God! That is fabulously grotesque! How in the hell do they do it? Fantastic !!!

Do you think they are dying laughing as they draw this crap? Or just shuddering in fear that it may somehow offend Great Leader?

THANKS FOR LIBERATING US, STALIN!

Sincerely,

(Seriously, though, Stalin looks like someones kindly old grandpa in this one:

Anarchists have plenty of interesting art. Google Anarchist and Libertarian Societies in Science:

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/benjaminbeck/anarchysf/a.htm

There are plenty of creative anarchists who've done very interesting things in the arts. There are also many important scientists who were anarchists, and writers, and on and on, just as there are very many creative cultural Marxists as well.

I like a lot of the anarchist music out there, i.e. punk rock. ;)

Plus the red and black star is hawt. ;)

Oh, and this thread is silly.

Awesome. A Youth Brigade fan.

My favorite all time band is the Dead Kennedys.

Lenin unleashes zeppelins. The bourgeois will never know what hit 'em!

Emphatic hand gestures seem to be a staple of pictures that involve Lenin.

Bulbous balloons full of hot air. The dirigibles i mean.

God do I love that sketch of Grandpa.

Will no good commie come forward and defend these monstrosities?

Those are interesting. Compared to the Soviet pieces, they're a little crudely drawn, though.

That first one is my favorite. For some reason it reminds me of all those ultra crappy blaxploitation films. Like a Pam Grier film or something. :lol:

ultra crappy blaxploitation films.

Blaxploitation?? God, you are HILARIOUS! Is that an original?

I do like the Afro-centric (?) drawings. Much more honest.

Man, you don't even know. I'm a blaxploitation fan from way back!

"Coffy" is pretty much one of the greatest films ever made. Fuck "the Godfather"! ;)
