Just finished reading We the Living, and now I provide communist propaganda

[FlameOfCallandor]

I just finished reading Ayn Rand's We the Living (awesome book by the way). It's about the years right after the soviet revoultion and basically how shitty life was. Anyway, after reading it, I got online and started to research communist posters for fun, you just to see what kind of absurd shit they made. I found some pretty cool ones actually.


We won't let you do bad job!
Here the workers are reinforced with good old fashioned positive reinforcement. Remember, working harder doesn't get you any more money, but working less will get you sent to siberia.


Let us start working. We are all experts at talking, but thanks, I got enough of that
Shut your face, while the party decides what's best for you.


The Communistic Subbotnik ("voluntary", non-paid, extra shift on Saturdays) requires the highest pruductivity of work!

This "Voluntary" work day sounds like lots of fun. If only the west were so progressive!



The soviet government is million times more democratical then the government of any democratic capitalist republic

I knew there was a benefit to having only one party and being required to be in it!



Towards new horizons, new success in the 12th five-year plan.

The first 11 times were failures, but this one will succeed. And if it doesn't... Well you dont get a choice.


The demand is the indicator of quality

Just make 10,000 pair of shoes for 20,000 people and we'll just tell them that our quality is so high that we cant reach demand.

 

We will not allow this to happen again

But at the time we were told Stalin was brining us into a new era of hope!



We will do everything that the party wants.

Everything?

]
Thriftiness - is the communistic quality

You don't have much of a choice there.



After work - to the park.

Himumu?



We'll vote for the most suitable ones

Hell, those are all better than Who Moved My Cheese?

[Van Cruncheon]

because if you aren't all of one thing, you must be all of the other

[Van Cruncheon]

also, i vaguely recall reading this book back when i was 16 and a republican and twitching at how childish it was, i can't imagine how i'd tolerate it now

[Human Snorenado]

You know, I'm sure there was a perfectly good reason why you had your ability to create threads restored, but it absolutely escapes me right now.  I'm sure it will come to me, though.

[FlameOfCallandor]

Without propaganda posters im surprised I'm able to motivate myself to work or do anything at all!

[Van Cruncheon]

yea, i thought with his leperdom removed, we'd be free from this sort of nonsense

next up, a report from foc on how muggles ruin magic for everyone, and on how narnia's descent into hedonism can only be repaired by leonine jesus' sacrifice

[Van Cruncheon]

i'm surprised you think ayn rand's russia is socialism

wait, i'm surprised you think america is capitalism

technically, i'm surprised you think you think at all

[FlameOfCallandor]

What's wrong Prole did I hurt you itty bitty feelings.
Awwwww You so cute, yes you are, yes you are.

[Van Cruncheon]

well, i figured reading we the living augured a childish view of the world, but i didn't think it'd manifest so quickly :'(

[FlameOfCallandor]

How is it a childish view of the world? Have you even read the book?

i'm surprised you think ayn rand's russia is socialism

wait, i'm surprised you think america is capitalism

What does this have to do with laughing at russian propaganda posters?

[Van Cruncheon]

foc, it posits a world where two poles exist: communism in its russian mis-manifestation, and the pure lideals she ascribes to capitalism. isn't this the book
that ends with the heroine suppurating her RED (lol lol lol) lifeblood on the pure snow of her homeland? such a binary view of the world is supremely childish.

ayn rand was a poser twat who never got over her home country being a shithole of corruption, and created fantasies to protect her from its malingering effects on her psyche. other folks, equally charged with resentment at societies that reject them, opt in to her simplistic fantasy world.

No thats not the book at all. You fail. It's not black and white at all.

The main heroine is in a relationship with two men. In the end the "communist" one does the right thing and the "capitalist" one drinks his way to misery. And she dies trying to cross the border.

Prole=Owned  :santocry

[Van Cruncheon]

gee, how is that not binary

[FlameOfCallandor]

gee, how is that not binary

Maybe because I summed up the novel in once sentence, and you don't know what your talking about. Why are you in this thread anyway?

[Van Cruncheon]

how is it that i was so much better read than you at 16 -- and while attending a brokedown hillbilly school no less

edit: oh fine, here's the EXPLICIT argument since everything else flies right over your unconsidering noggin: i was describing the metaphor of the text, not the literal text, because even when i was 16 i wasn't a fucking literal-minded trust fund distinguished mentally-challenged fellow

[Human Snorenado]

In his defense, I'm pretty sure the doctor threw him across the room after delivery.

You're basing this on what again?

[FlameOfCallandor]

Why are you guys in this thread. This isnt a thread for putting FOC down. Make your own anti-FOC thread or something.

[Van Cruncheon]

the fact that you couldn't see the childishness of the dichotomy presented in the text of the book at age twenty-whatever when i could at 16, AND you insist on a literal reading of some of the most ham-handed, over-embellished, unsubtle metaphor ever put to pen

i was wrong to suggest that you might be able to dredge some sort of libertarian argument out of harry potter; consider it an honor that you're possibly too stupid for even that

Stop playing it off like you read it, you already tried to explain to me something completely different then what happened in the story and it backfired.

[Van Cruncheon]

now you're just being dishonest. don't worry, selfishness is a virtue

[FlameOfCallandor]

Anyway, back to the original topic.

[Human Snorenado]

Anyway, back to the original topic.

you dipshit, what did you think was going to happen when you got the ability to make topics back?  Go find a libertarian message board if you want people to agree with you, there's far too much intelligence here for you to get anything other than your just deserved mocking.

[recursivelyenumerable]

if the communists knew about FOC, he'd be on all their anti-American propaganda posters

what am I saying, I am a communist!  I must inform the propaganda ministry immediately!

[Vizzys]

thread saved

russian inspired, all american awesome

[AdmiralViscen]

 

[tiesto]

Viz's poster is awesome, no wonder why the 360 always flashes those red rings.

[Van Cruncheon]

[Crushed]

bioshock proves that ayn rand was right

just throw in a bunch of bee-shooting mutants and give them access to vodka and guns in vending machines

We both lul'd at tiesto, we both love bleach and think green hair and nelly are awesome.  Is it me or are we like 2 peas in a pod? 

[Vizzys]

The Xbox is like the Soviet union in that it is made from shitty parts and will eventually fail and give rise to the greater system, the Wii.
