Sunken German: "Pull me out faggot!"
Left German: "LOLwut?"
Sunken German: "Get your hand off my ass"

(EDIT: The sunken soldier may not be a german soldier? Am I wrong?)

I'd rather drown in a puddle than be transfered to suffocate in a chamber.
I used to post that one :(! It's sometimes called "German soldiers rescue a French comrade in arms". You see 3 Germans saving a French soldier's life by pulling him out the mud of the Verdun battlefield. I think it can display a strong political message, and I'm using for 3 years now against those who have a (petty) bourgeois view of WW1.

[Tower of Bebel]

(You have to wonder the fate of the poor stranded man in the mud.:( And what on earth was he doing in there anyhow?!)Most soldiers die in such circumstances. This one got lucky. They either get stuck in such a pool because they either fell or we thrown into it by a blast. Or some just hide from the bullets in a put-hole like this one, and when it rains they have the choice between either getting shot by showing themselves or get drowned in mud. That was the reality of war back then.

If you're curious it says:

Thank you for summing up American Individualism.....:rolleyes:

[welshboy]

Thank you for summing up American Individualism.....:rolleyes:
tbh I love that image and it's got nowt to do with individualism. There's a really interesting dynamic going on in that picture, there are two people putting their lives at risk. The guy with his shopping is the one most lauded but I think that the guy driving the tank is really fucking brave.
Matey boy with the shopping knows he's probably going to die for doing what he's doing, the guy in the tank hoever is definately going to die for refusing the order run over the man in front of him.
I admit you have to know the story behind the image to appreciate it fully but that doesn't make it any less inspiring.

[BobKKKindle$]

Thank you for summing up American Individualism

It's an image of a protester defying a totalitarian government that was in the process of carrying out market reforms and ignoring the right of its citizens to peaceful protest when the image was taken, and so all socialists should value this image as an example of working people standing up to intimidation and adversity, in the same way that we would appreciate in image showing students protesting against the government, or workers on a picket line. The fact that you view "individualism" something bad or a specifically American phenomenon says a lot about your political philosophy and in particular your disregard for human freedom. WB is right in suggesting that we shouldn't just look at the protester here - the tank driver also showed extraordinary courage in not simply running over the protester and probably faced terrible punishments as a result of his refusal to carry out the orders of the bureaucracy and grind an innocent citizen into the stones of Tienanmen Square.

This image was recently part of a slideshow on the BBC website covering the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. I think this image is interesting not only because it covers a very important event, but also because it could be seen as presenting a set of contrasts - liberal-democratic governments in Europe have historically seen the hijab as a symbol of oppression directed against the female members of the Muslim community, but in this image a women wearing the hijab is also carrying a means by which any individual can assert their authority and political independence regardless of their innate physical strength - a gun. I'd love to learn more about the role of women in overthrowing the Shah.

[Holden Caulfield]

Why do you hold up Muslims in a way we would never do to Catholics or Protestants?
All religions suck, just because people who happen to be muslim are fighting anti-imperialist struggles doesn't mean we should hold up Islam as something positive or something we should support

[alhop10]

I love the contrast here. Lenin deshevilled, laid back. Stalin upright, stiff. It looks almost as if Stalin has been superimposed onto an image of Lenin.

See way to over analyze. I realize the significance of it and of the ordeal however it has absolutely been Americanized in meaning in my personal experience with running into it in education as well as just folks having it on social sites and things. I never fucking said a thing about my political philosophy and notice I said "AMERICAN Individualism" not human and or just plain individualism. Don't always assume mate. :unsure:

Why do you hold up Muslims in a way we would never do to Catholics or Protestants?

I don't "hold up" Muslims - I just think it's an interesting picture because of the significance of the event, and the prejudices many people attach to the hijab. A photo of a female IRA member would be just as inspiring and valuable.

[Led Zeppelin]

This image was recently part of a slideshow on the BBC website covering the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.

I'd love to learn more about the role of women in overthrowing the Shah.

I don't understand.

You love to learn more about the role of those women who fought to overthrow the Shah, and then wanted to force other women to wear the Hijab, i.e., the women who fought for the establishment of the Islamic Republic?

I prefer learning about the women who fought to overthrow the Shah, and then fought for a socialist society.

That movement is much more interesting to me.

[JimmyJazz]

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd266/davidzepeda/allende1.jpg

This is probably my all-time favorite picture. I've thought to myself before that if I had enough money I would go to Latin America and do an investigation to find out who the guy on the right is, and what became of him (I'm sure he was killed, probably executed). Maybe I would be able to write an article about it that contained enough human interest for some pseudo-lefty magazine like The Nation to buy it from me. Those left-liberals like to get all gooey about socialists who lived and died for their ideals, even if they themselves hate socialism.

Who's the short guy with Fidel in your first pic?

Also, can we maybe split the derail?

[BobKKKindle$]

and then wanted to force other women to wear the Hijab, i.e., the women who fought for the establishment of the Islamic Republic?

If you could point out where I said that, I'd much appreciate it, I must have typed and then posted it without being aware of it, and now I can't seem to find it. This is yet another example of you trying to twist someone else's statement in order to portray them as reactionary when they are actually nothing of the sort. Of course the women who were involved in the radical left are fascinating, and more relevant to our movement than the women who may have later supported the imposition of the hijab, but that doesn't mean we can just disregard the latter category, or that we shouldn't find their experiences interesting - whether for good or for bad, the 1979 Revolution was an important political event, especially in light of the fact that Iran seems to be the next target for imperialist intervention, and, given that the Islamist section of the movement ultimately triumphed, that's why I want to learn about the women who participated in it, even if I don't agree with their political views.

[Led Zeppelin]

If you could point out where I said that, I'd much appreciate it, I must have typed and then posted it without being aware of it, and now I can't seem to find it.

You're right, you hadn't posted that, which is why I said; "I don't understand" and put a question mark behind the part you just quoted.

Do you know what "I don't understand" means? It means that I don't know what you were trying to say.

Do you know what a question mark means? It means that it is a question.


This is yet another example of you trying to twist someone else's statement

You mean like how you just twisted my statement?

Anyway, you did actually mean what I asked you meant, as you say here:


Of course the women who were involved in the radical left are fascinating, and more relevant to our movement than the women who may have later supported the imposition of the hijab, but that doesn't mean we can just disregard the latter category, or that we shouldn't find their experiences interesting - whether for good or for bad

[...]

that's why I want to learn about the women who participated in it, even if I don't agree with their political views.

In other words, your answer to my question; "You love to learn more about the role of those women who fought to overthrow the Shah, and then wanted to force other women to wear the Hijab, i.e., the women who fought for the establishment of the Islamic Republic?" is yes.

You could have just said that instead of attacking me and accusing me of "twisting your statement".

Anyway, I stand by what I said; I prefer learning about the women who fought to overthrow the Shah, and then fought for a socialist society. That movement is much more interesting to me.

It is much more interesting because I'm not that concerned about learning how the women who held backward, conservative and sexist views supported the reactionary Islamic Republic and forced their views on other women.

My tastes differ from yours in this respect.

There is nothing wrong with that.

[BobKKKindle$]

Do you know what "I don't understand" means? It means that I don't know what you were trying to say.Based on your general attitude of superiority, I thought you were being sarcastic. If this was honestly not the case, I apologize.


your answer to my question; "You love to learn more about the role of those women who fought to overthrow the Shah, and then wanted to force other women to wear the Hijab, i.e., the women who fought for the establishment of the Islamic Republic?" is yes.As usual, you've got it wrong. At no point did I suggest that I want to learn more about the women who were part of the Islamist movement in the sense of learning about these women at the expense of women who identified with the radical left. The only sense in which I want to learn more about these women is improving on my present knowledge - but this is by no means specific to Islamist women. I actually didn't specify what kind of women I wanted to learn about, partly because I don't know much about the event and its participants and am still in the process of improving my knowledge. I simply said "the role of women in overthrowing the Shah" - i.e. all of the women who fought against the Shah, a category that includes the radical left as well as Islamist women.


I'm not that concerned about learning how the women who held backward, conservative and sexist views supported the reactionary Islamic Republic and forced their views on other women.I certainly am. I'm also interested in learning about the workers who were won over to Nazism in Germany and participated in the imperialist war. The British workers who recently went on strike and raised nationalist slogans against Italian workers are also interesting. In general, I want to try and understand the conditions which drive people into the hands of reactionary movements because I recognize that we will have to confront these challenges in the near future as the depression intensifies and imperialism becomes more aggressive, and we need to ensure that we don't make the same mistakes again. The fact that I want to study the historic defeats of the working class isn't any indication of my political views - I obviously find it bad that the left didn't succeed in winning over the whole of the working class in Iran or any other country, and workers have certainly payed a heavy price for that failure - but I would argue that refusing to learn about our defeats as well as our triumphs is totally inconsistent with Marxism, which teaches us that, in order to understand any historical event or process, and draw lessons from it, you have to grasp it in its totality, and that means learning about all of the ideological currents, and their respective class bases. In 'The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon', Marx examines the different factions of the bourgeoisie at length and shows how they fought for control of the bourgeois state - I want to follow his example.

[Led Zeppelin]

Based on your general attitude of superiority, I thought you were being sarcastic. If this was honestly not the case, I apologize.

No, I can assure you that it wasn't.

Perhaps you are the one who has a general attitude of superiority. The fact that you seem to think you know what other members mean regardless of what they say hints at this.


As usual, you've got it wrong.

Either that, or you really "must have typed something and then posted it without being aware of it".

That is a not a good sign.


At no point did I suggest that I want to learn more about the women who were part of the Islamist movement in the sense of learning about these women at the expense of women who identified with the radical left.

At no point did I say that you did.

I merely asked if you loved to learn more about the role of those women who fought to overthrow the Shah, and then wanted to force other women to wear the Hijab, i.e., the women who fought for the establishment of the Islamic Republic.

Your answer to that is yes.

Is there anything in there suggesting that you love learning about that particular movement at the expense of any other movement?

Did I ever say that you wanted to learn more about that particular movement than any other movement?

No, I did not.


I actually didn't specify what kind of women I wanted to learn about, partly because I don't know much about the event and its participants and am still in the process of improving my knowledge. I simply said "the role of women in overthrowing the Shah" - i.e. all of the women who fought against the Shah, a category that includes the radical left as well as Islamist women.

Actually you did (and just did so again):


Of course the women who were involved in the radical left are fascinating, and more relevant to our movement than the women who may have later supported the imposition of the hijab, but that doesn't mean we can just disregard the latter category, or that we shouldn't find their experiences interesting - whether for good or for bad

[...]

that's why I want to learn about the women who participated in it, even if I don't agree with their political views.

You specify that you also want to learn about Islamist women. "All women" includes them.

So when I asked if you loved to learn more about that movement, your answer is yes, right?

I mean you basically say it here:



I'm not that concerned about learning how the women who held backward, conservative and sexist views supported the reactionary Islamic Republic and forced their views on other women.
I certainly am.

That is specifying.

So what exactly are we arguing about here?


The fact that I want to study the historic defeats of the working class isn't any indication of my political views

It certainly is not, but other things indicate that.


but I would argue that refusing to learn about our defeats as well as our triumphs is totally inconsistent with Marxism

When you learn about the women I referred to in my earlier post, that is, the progressive women's movement in Iran, you'll also learn about their defeat. That is, of course, if you want to learn about the totality of that movement.

[Holden Caulfield]

I love the contrast here. Lenin deshevilled, laid back. Stalin upright, stiff. It looks almost as if Stalin has been superimposed onto an image of Lenin.


that is because he has been, notice no pox-marked face on Stalin, and the chair he is sitting on is clearly a poor hash of making it look like he is sitting next to Lenin.

Stalin did superimpose many pictures with Lenin apparently, so maybe this one is too?

Okay so i havn't got 25 posts as of yet so I can't post pictures or links which is a problem here but I will struggle on.

Look for "the napalm girl" picture taken during the Vietnam War. There is a cropped and full image, the cropped image was used in several newspapers at the time whereas the full image was not. The cropped picture was intentionally changed to create a more shocking image.

In the uncropped image the girl is no longer center of the picture so the impact is not instantly as powerful but none the less the picture is still important.

The almost crucifix nature of the girls positioning adds a different dimension to the image.

If anyone would be so kind could you please post the image as although it is not a favorite of mine it is striking none the less.

I think this photo really symbolizes people's struggle for freedom:

http://www.pulitzer.org/imported-data/year/2007/breaking-news-photography/works/baliltyphoto.jpg

From Newseum.org:

"On Feb. 1, 2006, Associated Press photographer Oded Balilty was in the West Bank settlement of Amona when a violent confrontation broke out between Jewish settlers and Israeli security forces. The troops were attempting to enforce a government order to tear down nine houses built on private Palestinian land after Israel’s Supreme Court rejected a final appeal by the settlers.

Balilty, camera ready, stood about 3 meters from the end of the barricade. Crowds lined up on a wall overlooking the holed-up settlers, while Israeli troops in riot gear advanced. "Nili, a young settler … was standing 15 meters away, biting her fingernails, when she saw them coming and ran toward the barricade," Balilty said.

Said Nili: "I felt a stranger pushing me to defend the barricade. It was God who gave me the courage."

Moments after Balilty took the photograph that won him the Pulitzer Prize, Nili was beaten by club-wielding police."

I think this photo really symbolizes people's struggle for freedom:If you read the description directly below that photo, you'll find that the photo shows Israeli settlers being made to get off some land they stole from Palestinians by the Israeli government. It is, of course, surprising that the Israeli government is actually acknowledging the illegitimacy of the settlement in this instance, but I don't know how you could possibly see this photo as symbolizing freedom. Marxists also support settlers being driven off their land if they refuse to leave voluntarily, not only in Israel but in every other country around the world where there is a settler population - although we believe that the restoration of land to its original owners should be conducted by the working class, and not an imperialist state apparatus.

Apparently this is a real Scot ad from 1930 or so:

Is your washroom breeding Bolsheviks?

Employees lose respect for a company that fails to provide decent facilities for their comfort.

Try wiping you hands six days a week on harsh, cheap paper towels or awkward, unsanitary roller towels __ and maybe you, too, would grumble.

Towel service is just one of those mall, but important courtesies -- such as proper air and lighting -- that help build up the good will of your employees.

That's why you'll find clothlike Scot-Tissue Towels in the washrooms of large well-run organizations such as R.C.A. Victor Co., Inc., National Lead Co. and Campbell Soup Co.

ScotTissue Towels are made of "thirsty fibre"...an amazing cellulose product that drinks up moisture 12 time as fast as ordinary paper towels. They feel soft and pliant as a linen towel. Yet they're so strong and tough in texture they won't crumble or go to pieces. . . even when they are wet.

And they cost less, too -- because one is enough to dry the hands -- instead of three or four.

Write for free trial coupon. Scot Paper Company, Chester, Pennsylvania.

ScotTissue Towels - really dry.

context?

[narcomprom]

It's an image of a protester defying a totalitarian government that was in the process of carrying out market reforms and ignoring the right of its citizens to peaceful protest when the image was taken, and so all socialists should value this image as an example of working people standing up to intimidation and adversity, in the same way that we would appreciate in image showing students protesting against the government, or workers on a picket line. The fact that you view "individualism" something bad or a specifically American phenomenon says a lot about your political philosophy and in particular your disregard for human freedom. WB is right in suggesting that we shouldn't just look at the protester here - the tank driver also showed extraordinary courage in not simply running over the protester and probably faced terrible punishments as a result of his refusal to carry out the orders of the bureaucracy and grind an innocent citizen into the stones of Tienanmen Square.

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45460000/jpg/_45460333_rex_379595o.jpg

This image was recently part of a slideshow on the BBC website covering the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. I think this image is interesting not only because it covers a very important event, but also because it could be seen as presenting a set of contrasts - liberal-democratic governments in Europe have historically seen the hijab as a symbol of oppression directed against the female members of the Muslim community, but in this image a women wearing the hijab is also carrying a means by which any individual can assert their authority and political independence regardless of their innate physical strength - a gun. I'd love to learn more about the role of women in overthrowing the Shah.
Frantz Fanon wrote an influential piece on the veil and the Algerian women (http://home.comcast.net/%7Eplatypus1848/fanonfrantz_algeriaunveiled1959.pdf) in context of the struggle with French colonial authorities.

In his more famous Wretched of the Earth he that the notion of barbarity of colonised peoples was put forward to disqualify them from participation in the master-slave dialectic; for their arguments to be taken at face value they expected to imitate their overlords and in turn accepting them as such, adopting thus the cultural superstructure of imperialism.

Here he notes that the interpretation of the traditional garb as a symbol of masculine oppression is by itself an act of oppression by the european over the colonial. He notes, for instance, that oftentimes French authorities would deliberately require Algerian to appear with their wives not wearing a garb which to an Algerian would be an act of humiliation comparable to public rape.

I know of Persian post-colonial intellectuals seeking to combine a own way to woman's emancipation with a post-colonial emancipation. Thank to their efforts Iran now has the highest percentage of female engineering students in the world. Nevertheless I don't hold much of Fanonism and post-colonial studies.

It is overintellectualised ages-old cultural relativism. His notions like act of disobedience or great symbolic meanings can be applied to everything and in fact has been applied to everything including Saudi Tsarism or Persian Demitheocracy.

In both cases it was used by the dominant classes of feudalism, nobility and clerics, to entrench themselves and with themselves outlived ideas despite social progress. Fanon is inherently reactionary.

Nevertheless is important to read, mostly due to his influence.

Ah, Stjepan Filipović...
One of the best young commanders that Yugoslavian partisans have had in the WW2.
If case that someone doesn't know what the photo is about:
Filipovic, that commanded a croatian corp at time, was captured by the Nazis in 1942 and sentenced to death by hanging. Just several moments before he was hanged, the photo was taken and it shows Filipovic's last seconds, while he shouted that Nazis how they are murderers and swines, before he finally yelled "DEATH TO FASCISM, FREEDOM TO THE PEOPLE"

The rest is history.
Perfect example of defiance and greatness of someone's personality.

Symbolic protest against racism throughout the UC system, UC Berkeley March 1st 2010:

What a useless protest. First off, UC Berkeley is an expensive school, not quite open to everyone unless you're rich. Secondly, if you really want to protest, join your fellow man and leave the damn school. If enough students do it, that will send a message, especially if all the visual-minorities leave. Imagine the university heads trying to explain why there's only whites students left on campus.

Nice try at a protest, NEXT! :laugh:
