Negras tormentas agitan los aires
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.

Every rifle propped against the bar, is a rifle for the enemy...

Yep, high time we had a commemoration. Trots: 100 years of being humourless bastards.

Good post, but not enough Nationalist posters for my liking. Arriba España!

Because Dictators/Fascists are known for their sense of humour ...

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

The posters are nice

. I knew some of them, but I must confess that others were totally unknown to me, specially most of the catalonian ones.

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.

Yes, it's nice, I keep on learning new things every day.

Here's a link to an extensive collection of posters. The propaganda posters have their own section, starting from the US Civil War so there's plenty to see for many periods over there.
