This is what I mean when I say I like 1950s aesthetics. Well, that and the Cold War. Not that I miss Western views of communists being even worse than present day, but, I do miss "The Commies" having some power and cultural impact.

Western liberals say communist propaganda plastered everywhere in socialist states is dystopian, but I'd massively prefer it over the advertising plastered everywhere in Western capitalist countries. Or better yet, don't cover every square inch of available space with a poster or banner or billboard.

But at what cost?

Tbh, a huge commie meetup where a bunch of different leftist groups from all over the world are all converging in one place, and telling the country involved's government and the hotel/conference center we were something incredibly lame and apolitical or obviously liberal, would be pretty funny.

Hopefully we could organise something way better than when Tumblr tried to do a convention, lol.

It is absolutely popular. I know people who've gone. They hate "The Commies", and refuse to support AES states in any way, directly or indirectly, but they've visited resorts in Cuba.

Liberal cognitive dissonance is one hell of a thing.

What's with the bear theming, anyway? Soviet Bear joke because we're all a bunch of tankies, or more esoteric than that? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it, but I do wonder why?

Of course capitalism can't be at fault for everything, that'd be too obvious! Blame the trans people and the commies, they make you feel icky so they must be the cause of your problems! All the conservative populists say so! It's not class war, it's obviously queer folks who are the dangerous minority, not the top 1%!

In reference to Lenin in the sky...

revisionist CPRF

Man, the Russian commies used to be the cool ones. Never thought I'd be saying I miss the Cold War...

using the books for heat instead of knowledge

Yep, that tracks for your average liberals.

Bunch of terrified liberals hiding in a fortified public library, burning the books for heat, eating the pigeons, and blasting out annoying nonsense over emergency broadcasting, claiming it's Red Dawn out there, while sane people are enjoying a socdem doing a few decent things... that'd make a good story. And sounds about right for post Red Scare Americans.

Funny. Everyone wants to be all "people will blame capitalism when bad things happen" but then can't understand that the problems they're worried about would literally only happen because of capitalism. Ugh, liberals.
