This one is related to alienation of labor

Sorry for no alt text I'm in a rush but I've posted them before with alt text if you search my posts for socialist comics you can find them

Comic panel from the early X-Men where Magneto is writing a threatening message in the sky using bits of metal but he has also included his signature and it is written in a cheeky and almost flirty way

Totally fascinated by this backup singer/percussionist with cool earrings in a Taylor Dayne music video. I did some Internet research and I think her name might be Diane Jones? Can't find anything about her but I bet she's really cool.

A young woman wearing hammer and sickle earrings is singing into a microphone. She looks really cool.

Communism gets overthrown, a few decades later they get rid of sick leave for workers. Many such cases!! Better hope Doktor Kapitalismus thinks you're sick enough or else it's back to work you go! How much more obvious can it get that we live under the dictatorship of capitalists?

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.

We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.

We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. This show was so insanely cool to me. It has a lot in common with Three Body Problem and Control. The cast was awesome too. Wish it went for more than one season!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 'Computer shows' filing entire convention centers with tables of PC hardware, boxes of software, and graphics demo benchmark videos looping on repeat. I've seen video card cover art that looked like the chick from ReBoot. I've seen over clocked..

An image of text messages. One is from anxiety, one is from depression, and one is from Grape informing the recipient that they just finished surgery and they need picked up because they did surgery on a grape.

I don't get exactly what is going on in the psychology of people who post that. I guess it's the deep seated lib desire to claim some kind of moral high ground while not showing any courage or really doing anything other than what our oppressors want us to do. Doesn't have to be that way!

An edit of the trolley problem meme in which the trolley is being destroyed by the 'lever puller' instead of being allowed to run people over.

Here is Lenin explaining why going into 'single combat' is counter productive. Communists who know their stuff do not do this kind of thing. It's very individualist behavior and it has been demonstrated again and again to be ineffective. This is from the pamphlet "Revolutionary Adventurism"

An excerpt from Lenin against revolutionary adventurism. He wrote, "Nor does the leaflet eschew the theory of excitative terrorism. “Each time a hero engages in single combat, this arouses in us all a spirit of struggle and courage,” we are told. But we know from the past and see in the present that only new forms of the mass movement or the awakening of new sections of the masses to independent struggle really rouses a spirit of struggle and courage in all. Single combat however, inasmuch as it remains single combat waged by the Balmashovs, has the immediate effect of simply creating a short-lived sensation, while indirectly it even leads to apathy and passive waiting for the next bout. We are further assured that “every flash of terrorism lights up the mind,” which, unfortunately, we have not noticed to be the case with the terrorism-preaching party of the Socialist-Revolutionaries."

If you ever want a good laugh, read the parody, "Doon." It makes fun of the lengthy internal monologues a lot. There's also a part where The Baron Hardchargin opens a sentence with, 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh' for like half a page.

I wish I didn't have to post this so much:

Comic that criticizes libs for doing various forms of prejudice and hate in the service of criticizing Republicans. Example: "Ann Coulter is a man! Haw haw!" Or "I bet all conservatives are severely gay! Let's laugh at them for being gay"

Me and the art teacher played the Cyberpunk shooting gallery game on a field trip to an arcade this week. This picture does not do justice to how insanely fun it is. They are actual air soft guns shooting pellets with cool tracer effects at actual physical targets with interactive displays on them.

Capitalist ownership of newspapers is nothing new. This is an Art Young comic from 100 years ago.

This is a political cartoon depicting a conversation between a comically obese capitalist and a smirking slimy newspaper editor. The cartoon reads, "Here we see the editor. When the editor writes an editorial referring to 'The American People,' does he mean the vast majority- the working people, or does he mean the capitalist interests of the country? Guess!"

More Art Young comics from 100 years ago.

This is a political cartoon from the 1920's depicting a large fat humanoid bumblebee labeled 'Billionaire' and the Billionaire bee is smirking while easily pushing his way through a spider web that is labeled law. This is intending to depict how billionaires are unaffected by laws while working people are subject to them.

An image of JD Vance at a donut shop while wearing a suit. He's trying to order donuts and look normal and the caption quoting him on the image reads, "Just whatever makes sense," implying that he doesn't really know how to order a dozen donuts but he's embarrassed of appearing out of touch.

When I was a PBS watching 5 year old I learned from experience that an episode of Ghostwriter was either going to be the most boring thing I would watch all day or absolutely terrifying if it had this guy in it

Scary wet puppet purple monster from an episode of a 90's kid series Ghostwriter (it's not actually that scary it's mostly dumb looking but I was scared when I was 5)

From Dr. King's "Letter From Birmingham Jail." It reads, "Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in
Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to
justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of
destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the
narrow, provincial “outside agitator” idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be
considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds."

This passage from Lu Xun expresses the feeling of having class consciousness and trying to get others to develop it as well, however futile it may feel at times.
