I have to admit, these are very, very cool, as far as propoganda posters go.

'U.S. imperialists shouldn't carelessly provoke war.'

'U.S. imperialists should take a close look at (North) Korea's power'

'Let's crush the U.S. nuclear war scheme with our whole nation's unified power

The first two are especially cool, the second one is kind of scary.

The msg is kind of ill-informed but the illustrations look well done.

Are they from North Korea or South Korea?

monkspider · January 21, 2003, 02:04

Dino- North Korea

orange · January 21, 2003, 02:07

a rhetorical joke I believe

DinoDoc · January 21, 2003, 02:07

That explains the ill-informed msg. Too bad though. The artist looks like he might have had a future as a commercial artist.

or at least, it would have worked as one

Urban Ranger · January 21, 2003, 02:09

DPRK. The style of these illustrations are very similar to PRC ones that were around 20 years ago. Very broad stokes, simple constructs, and decidedly revolutionary.

it's only fun when you post them

aaglo · January 21, 2003, 02:14

Those posters look very retro, very 'communistic'

Dis · January 21, 2003, 02:19

let me post the others.

What is North Korea going to do? sue me?

MichaeltheGreat · January 21, 2003, 02:22

They obviously need a lesson in manners. Let's just get it over with, and waste the bastards.

Propaganda · January 21, 2003, 02:25

Soviet propaganda posters were much better.

I liked the WWI Allied posters the best but it is purely a matter of taste.

They are pretty cool, honestly. Saddening, but interesting...

Hmm, never been introduced to those.

I must say though, we(Soviets) should have printed out more posters, so that we could wallpaper all of the buildings to hide the ugly architectual designs.

Blech.

Nice retro touch!

Only thing bothering me is that I don't know how critically the public is looking at these.

Dis · January 21, 2003, 02:53

feel free to post ww1 and ww2 propaganda posters here in this thread for everyone to see. I like some the U.S. ww2 ones. Not because they were racist- I don't support that. but it just shows how things were back then- racist and all.

aaglo · January 21, 2003, 03:10

Retro!

The Vagabond · January 21, 2003, 03:44

This old Soviet poster is cool. It reads "Don't be naughty!".

Stefu · January 21, 2003, 03:45

Lenin looks like he doesn't give a damn.

Propaganda · January 21, 2003, 03:56

Kramerman · January 21, 2003, 04:01

are thoe soviet and american lesbians?

Rasbelin · January 21, 2003, 04:01

FYI: that little Lenin icon is only a copyright marking.

Propaganda · January 21, 2003, 04:03

Rasbelin · January 21, 2003, 04:05

A few more then as Prop also posted some.

Oerdin · January 21, 2003, 04:43

When I was in the army my speciality was Psyops so I got to take a whole class on the history of propganda. It was really interesting stuff and I got see a whole lote of posters and leaflets like the ones in this thread.

Propaganda · January 21, 2003, 04:57

Soviets(worker's representatives) shall take full power and responsibility on themselves!

"Democratism" is the form for the realization of political and civil rights of the people!

Don't let the bosses dictate - have your own head!

We need constructive ideas - Offer some!

Let us start working! We are all experts at talking, but thanks, I've already had enough of that.

That's it, comrades! Shoddy goods won't fly!

We will vote for the competent ones!

Our main weapon is efficient work and quality in goods!

If we are to teach discipline to workers and peasants, we should first start with ourselves.
