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.

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

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.

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.
