Shouldn't removing Jesus from his torture device be a good thing? I could never understand the logic behind worshipping the thing that killed and subjected their god to pain.
Your mistake is trying to think of Christianity logically
Christianity is build around guilt and penance. So of course the main christian religious figure would be in helluva of suffering too.
holy fuck this is the image i'd seen once in my life and i'd been looking for ever since. thank you
Damn I want a print of this to hang in my place, ice cold
Wouldnt say that, their anticommunist propaganda is also kind of anti-semitic
Me and my Jewish comrades making the world a better place:
...im sorry, what is antisemetic about this picture? to me it seems to just denigrate trotsky (the blood demon/monster/ogre thing looks like trotsky)
the flag still says RSFSR, so im also confused how this would be anticommunist as well (unless being anti-trotsky = anti-communist?)
It is playing on stereotypes of Jews as blood-sucking vampires and parasites, drinking the blood of Christian children, as notoriously claimed in the 'Elders of Zion'. It is presenting him as a demon, linking this with his Bolshevism and Jewishness. It is accentuating stereotypes about Jewish physical appearance while doing so. It is also playing on the proto-fascist fear at the time of the Judeo-Bolsheviks leading the 'asiatic/mongol hordes' of 'barbarians' to bring down 'civilized' Europe.
Word (portmanteau) chosen to be denote "Soviets State" is also a derisive one, typically used by those hostile to it. (Perhaps not unlike CPC vs CCP nowadays)
You only see, that it is somehow against trotsky, isnt? This is a propaganda poster of the white army. It would be naive to think, that there is nothng anti-communist about this poster. So you have to take a look under which conditions this poster was made:
The white army blamed jews for bolshevism. Remeber the progroms? The protocols of the elders of zion and the black hundreds? In the propaganda of the white army Trotsky often had demonic features because he was jewish and played an important role in the civil war. This is a continuity of the anti-semitic agenda of tsarist russia. And it was in fact so, that young jews became revolutioners, they saw a better life in socialism, than in antisemitic tsarism.
the flag still says RSFSR, so im also confused how this would be anticommunist as well (unless being anti-trotsky = anti-communist?)
So what is the poster transtlated? "Peace and Freedom in the Soviet Russia" is written on the top. And you see a red demonic Trotsky, a jew with millions of skulls under him.
Should you be not conviced, then look here for the original poster, which i didnt post:
Also other posters from that time exist.
It is even without the david star antisemitic considering under which conditions it was created. The Nazis later extended it clearly with the idea of judeo-bolshevism, which also had its roots in all of the anti-semitic attacks (Dont forget Marx, he was often attacked of simply having jewish heritage) marxism received.
And if you look what the far right is saying about communism: Jews. October revolution: Jews. Marxism: Founded by jews and continued by jews. Jews, jews jews.
Sorry if I sound harsh, but it's not so easy to understand the seriousness of your comment
Comrade saving person from brutal execution, based

So the communists saved Jesus? Damn, they should be worshipped more than the Virgin Mary then!
Tbh the Communists would’ve been against the Roman Empire’s Imperialism and expansion. This isn’t far from what I would see happening if somehow Socialism was a political movement back then
the people's front of judea? or the judean people's front
Obviously the People’s Front of Judea, just like the Communist Party of China
I'm so happy I saw Life of Brian after I had experienced leftist discourse firsthand, otherwise it would have all gone over my head.

Communism. Bringer of Death to Nazis.
