Love all the people who completely missed the point that this isn't supposed to be accurate, it's supposed to trigger the conservatives since they're still stuck in the Red Scare propaganda and call anything they don't like "communism".
-
Exactly. Also the current Russian logo (two headed chicken beast), looks like shit and doesn't mean anything to the average American.

Seeing a Trump lawn sign is akin to seeing someone's septic system malfunction. It's just a bunch of smelly shit that's splattered all over the front yard.

This is offensive. Trump is the opposite of what that symbol represents.
-
I think it's been too corrupted by misuse, kind of like the swastika.
-
Well, what’s the symbol of modern communism? A smartphone and a vibrator? The pride flag?

Basically. Dictator pull-ups

Nice, you added bunch of shit that don't have anything to do with each other. Nice post bro

You're welcome

Somebody should sell little stickers to slsp these on trump signs
-
This just makes you look stupid.
-
Why's that?

Do people just not think about what community this is? Meme’s are supposed to be absurd. I like two -headed chicken beast, great description.

Red scare never really went away. Russia is a capitalistic country.

It is amazing how few people know that the USSR was run by Ukrainians from 1953-1982.

The USSR collapsed more than 30 years ago. Modern day Russia has nothing to do with communism at all.
It is closer to its Czarist imperial roots than it is to the the USSR. You would be more accurate using the Russian Imperial Eagle
They literally revived the old imperial symbol when the Russian federation was created.
I mean tbf they also make use of soviet iconography to just as much of a degree, they have a weird obsession with synchrotizing soviet aesthetics with Imperial Russian aesthetics in what can only be described as "grievance culture chique"
Fascists always talk about returning to some former greatness. If the greater past was communist, thousands of years ago or a fairy tale does not matter as much.
From what my Russian friends told me: Putin is a neo czarist. He has been preaching the "evils of western influences" for 30 years and trying to revive the Russian Empire. "As Marxism is a German ideology and was imported by the Germans to cause the Russian Empire to implode into civil war and close the western front in WWI to destabilize the Russian Empire it is inherently flawed and evil" : the "mighty Russian" people endured "western Marxism" and are still proud of their cultural symbolism from that time period as they made the art not the "evil westerners who tricked them into attempting communism".
If you would like more sourced information about this topic, I would advise you to read the foundations of geopolitics.
Edit added more quote marks
Yeah yeah. You're right of course. I am an American child of the 80's though which is why my mind uses the hammer and sickle still.
Also, Fuck Russia.
Edit: And, you try photoshoping that fucking eagle into a stencil format. Fuck that.
I don't suppose... I could maybe get that without the trump sign? Possibly in .dxf format?
(no, I'm not going to make a stencil and gratuitously vandalize every trump sign I see... why would you even ask?!)
Wolverines!!
Not American but I totally understand. :)
You say that like the USSR had anything to do with communism.
It did for a while, until it didn't.
At least it pretended to.
Modern-day Russia doesn't even try to pretend.
They used communist symbolism. That seems relevant when we're talking about symbols.
I hate when people think communism means USSR. It had nothing to do with ut except the name
Oh, they started using the hammer and sickle more since the war started.
That’s a disgrace.
Putin was trained by the KGB.
If he was a communist and had control of Russia than Russia wouldn't be the way it was.
It may surprise you that some capitalism supporters got into power in the soviet union before Yeltsin ordered the parliament to be bombarded with tanks, dissolving the socialist democracy and bringing about capitalism in former soviet states.
