nice socialist logo

[communard resolution]

Found this on an anti-Obama website. The original intention was to scare people of Obama's "socialism", but I think the logo is very cool and literally begs to be hijacked by us... so I thought I'd share.

I bought a badge so long ago I didn't even know shit about politics, and it was that design in b&w 'cept it said 'Capitalism' at the bottom. Yes, I confess, originally, I just bought it because I liked the design... :laugh:

Actually it is originially a design by 'us' and was hijacked by them;)

Yep, its a pretty old leftist logo actually, which is why its been recently hijacked by paranoid conservatives.

Be careful, some of the wimps on this board will attack you for being "violent."

Oooo...Socialism! So scary! Run and hide! Those American Conservatives disgust me. They took our logo and changed it!

RIPOFF-ISM must be eradicated at all times.
Perhaps capitalists used to make fun of it and then steal from its origins.

Why is there no money bag in the "Capitalist" version? It should still be there, only it should be held by the guy with the gun.

Ahaha some friends of mine gave me the Capitalism version on a button as a gift, so when people ask me if I bought it with a shit-eating grin on their face, I get to say "Nope!"

Because it's based of this famous photo:

No money bags. But yeah, that would be a pro-western guy killing an alleged communist, so the original version of the stencil, which reads 'capitalism' on the bottom, is obviously correct. And the one that tries to reverse it was obviously done by someone who has no idea why that image was used in the first place, and that their beloved system actually enacted the picture.

The meaning of images and pictures gets abused so often... its so anoying and sick.
