nubes oscuras nos impiden ver..... etc etc.

Nice posters but the one about drunks being parasites is a bit beyond the pale. Oh well revolutionary fervor and all that.

Fortunately, it's not and never has been purely question of Trots vs Fascists. The progressive left is a broad spectrum old chum. Never seen a Fascist who was intentionally funny. Actually I can think of very few right wingers who are particularly funny except in the funny- peculiar sense.

Agreed old boy. An interesting piece on the radio yesterday (BBC Radio 4 - you can get it on the I-Player) about how Orwell came to write Animal Farm and 1984.

Cheers, James

I haven't comprehensively counted all the Republican posters there, but 12 out of the first 22 ones are in Catalan language instead of Spanish, regardless of the political party/union/institution behind them.

Post by: area23 on 20 February 2013, 09:18:17 PM: Nice one! I knew most from a site called the Visual Front that had some good resolution images. It seems to be offline now.

This one is my favorite, got it on my wall somewhere. "Don't Steal Radios!" lol
