It's not my cup of tea, but if the message is a positive one I always try to learn and be inspired.

I think I'd probably like it more if I was old enough to actually really remember the Soviet days... But I don't remember much - my childhoos memories are all bright and sunny lol<br /><br />So you're in Prague now? Enjoy the city, it's so gorgeous!

As a personal preference, but political messages through art are an essential cultural force.Monicahttp://bohemiantwilight.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-45436796732754463052011-04-29T06:32:33.567-07:002011-04-29T06:32:33.567-07:00HI Ren,

It's an artform of expression which seems to be very accepted by 'The Regime" ...well as long as it's pro-regime. I think it also stops time and you can reflect in that moment of what was happening politically. Continue to have a great time.Valariehttp://www.valariebudayr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-1819250916408195102011-04-29T03:23:57.969-07:002011-04-29T03:23:57.969-07:00Communist art will probably be appreciated after m...Communist art will probably be appreciated after many many years, if ever...<br />Although I like the representation of the houses, eventhough I see similiar all around me:)Olahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974463440732558398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-82089970299395975382011-04-28T15:22:58.857-07:002011-04-28T15:22:58.857-07:00hi Ren!

As propaganda is designed to manipulate by pulling certain heart strings, I am always a little wary of it. I appreciate it from a distance but I do want to maintain a certain outsider's perspective when it comes to political points of view. <br /><br />Great post, very thought provoking. :)Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-52091571493367966702011-04-28T12:46:19.932-07:002011-04-28T12:46:19.932-07:00I think art with a message and better yet, full on...I think art with a message and better yet, full on propaganda is fascinating. Growing up, I always felt like Communism was a wonderful idealistic system that had its failings in human nature, and could never understand the fear that was associated with a economic model!A Crimson Kisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474778213617208638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-49533405988736084662011-04-28T08:46:36.596-07:002011-04-28T08:46:36.596-07:00Wow, Ren, what an interesting post, especially be...Wow, Ren, what an interesting post, especially because you have a personal connection & story to add.

LOVE it, though. I have a thing for communist propaganda and search the web regularly for it. I think the posters are so interesting. <br /><br />It is funny how much of a communist phobia people still have. I never considered why I disliked communism. I still do dislike it, but working with international students opened my eyes one day to the fact that 45% of my friends were total commies. I reasoned that communists weren't so bad at all, quite normal actually. But Communism and its leadership...not so much.Hannah {Culture Connoisseur}https://www.blogger.com/profile/10544457826466031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903478552211578722.post-56911112207129902422011-04-28T02:51:29.550-07:002011-04-28T02:51:29.550-07:00Absolutely.

Art has a lot to say that can wake our actions and feelings in a different way than any "standardized" political agenda can.<br /><br />Prague, ah, miss that city. Ages since I went there. How funny it is situated at the top of McDonalds...the irony of it all.<br />Have a fab day.Kristin Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508574259676709949noreply@blogger.com
