It's just so hard to ignore though, eh?

Haha. He's a funny guy

Me (from my WIP): "Consider the emergence of the world’s first “welfare state” in the Germany of the 1880s: in order to counter the growing influence of the German worker movement under the banner of the (flawed) Gotha Program, the Junker landlord regime headed by Bismarck pushed forward the Health Insurance Bill in 1883, the Accident Insurance Bill in 1884, and the Old Age and Disability Insurance Bill in 1889."

I'm sure, comrade, that somebody will have a heart attack upon seeing my uploading of Bismarck. I'll just say to that person that I didn't upload him for his Anti-Socialist Laws against what would become the pre-war SPD, but rather for the Kulturkampf against the political influence of the Roman Catholic Church.

There are captions describing the images, after all.

I didn't upload Putin for his economic shit or even Soviet-lite nostalgia. I uploaded him for what his ideologist Surkov coughed up re. "managed democracy" and applying it to Khodorovsky, Kasparov, and liberal opposition.

You remember that "sovereign democracy" rant quoted in my linked commentary, don't you?

Did you check out my album yet?

Buggy stuff...

I put that in quotes. If you go back to the usergroup Third-Periodists, one of the key planks of Third Periodism is red unions. Another is complete refusal to work with soc-dems.
