Or am I just a typically Communist-obsessed lefty? :P

1. I adore that shirt.

Especially Marx.

I also read it as "In honor of Stalin" and there was a copycat to that effect as well.

3. I own that shirt

:D

Because I'm awesome and cool and have a small amount of disposable income and an internet connection. :thumbsup:

Also: The copycat was summarily kicked roughly 6.83 seconds after I posted this thread. :eyes:

5. Let's not talk about typical Communist-obsessed lefty...

This is the first page of my uncancelled Soviet stamp collection...

6. Omg, those are SWEET!

I can't quite get a handle on my Communist obsession. I think it's in large part due to just the "look" of it. The whole Cyrillic alphabet. The graphics of the propaganda. I mean, of course the theory of it all is marvellous, if not the practice. I know the evils, the horror...but I still can't help being majorly drawn to like...ALL of it. :shrug:

7. I know what you mean

The actual communist governments are far removed from communist ideals.

I became obsessed with things Soviet during my stint in the US space program; they were worthy adversaries.

If you want to hear some real Russian spoken, here's a good source:

8. Soviet propaganda posters are amazing.

Cuba had some good stuff too.

9. You both should check out the link in my sig

It's the company I work for. The graphics guy didn't even realize he had a decidedly Communist bent to his artwork until I started there and mentioned it to him. :7

10. Definitely!

BTW, I have one of those leather mate bulbs shown in the tea artwork. I got it as a gift from an Argentinian friend.
