Good leftist slogans for posters?

Good leftist slogans for posters?
"American worker: It's your country too!"
"Workers of the world, seize your destiny"
"Peace security prosperity"
any ideas?

"Unite against oppression! Unite against exploitation! Unite for the left!"

In a world with an increasingly large pool of unemployed, this sort of fetishization of workers really needs to stop. They're not the only form of proletariat.

What happened to the classical "Eat the rich" and "No war, but class war"?

I'm gonna nitpick these posts because that's how you refine a message. Remember, the target audience for this shit is people who know dick about leftism.


pls
Try replacing country with company or something relating to production or the MoP.

Sounds too spiritual. At least use "future"

Sounds too Orwellian-Imperialist. "Peace" still has positive connotations but everyone associates "security" with the military or with private security forces. It's not an image we want to associate with the left unless you're a tankie purely out of having a boner for military hardware.


Vague and associated with tumblr. Maybe replace this sentence with "Unite against class!" or "Classless society is possible!" to lead into the next sentence:

This is pretty good provided the context makes it clear this isn't about human trafficking or some specific form of exploitation popularly associated with the word instead of the Marxist concept.

Definitely don't say this. The left is an abstraction. This should say "Unite for you" or something to that effect. Don't sell people on self-sacrifice; sell them on self-interest.


Non-workers don't really have the power to seize MoP or organize to bargain. Non-workers should be included, but the Left's meme department doesn't have to cater to everyone at once. We can have worker- and non-worker-targeted material.


"No war but class war" is good especially with how many bullshit wars are going on right now. "Eat the rich" will not get you very far for reasons that should be obvious.

pretty bourgeois tbh
workers have no country etc, liberal injunction to enjoy ('seize your destiny'), prosperity is a bourgeois watchword that proles have no fucking affiliation with

sorry to be a dick OP


muh job creators and ideology have all but extinguished such notions in popular consciousness

…you're going to laugh because I advocate for propaganda of the deed, but only because we are in such a theoretical mess. the real sore spot for me is how late capitalism has made the injunction to enjoy. it is a keystone in the ensemble of recuperative techniques. so I advocate nearly anything to break the crippling stasis.


good post basically, especially 'the left is an abstraction'. I want to say that an individual basis for combining into emancipatory organizations is all we have, but it has to be combined with an effective critique of the social totality if it's not to be recuperated
This is where I think more egoism is a good idea. Bourgeois society is in tension between the values it dispenses to its managers and those it gives to the workers. Basically stop telling the workers to be obedient and tell them to take it all.

I want the bullies to leave
and perchance kill themselves

Doesn't even warrant a response.
We told you where your slogans fell short, and it looks like you'd rather have a fit than try to improve them. It's hard to believe some people are so…petty.

Not being a dick I created this thread to get advice. Ideas for visuals are also helpful even ideas about where to place the posters are helpful

"Fuggin porky xDddd"

Well, it wouldn't hurt to try.

Besides, Venezuela has food problems. As does Africa. It might work out surprisingly well.

It was hard to resist.

I wouldn't be so certain. Shit is falling apart and quite a lot of people are up to a rude awakening. Class consciousness can develop pretty fast, given those circumstances.

What is bothering me is the lack of understanding of Socialism by the general public. We are going to get new 1930s instead of Revolution. After all, Fascism is a stillborn Socialism.

Communism. Have it your way

He's being ironic, intentionally or not. The reaction pic is of Patrick doing exactly what he's doing - it's a reply to Squidward noticing the weird slobbish shit that Patrick had in his suitcase (I forget what it was).

"Prosperity not austerity"

Oh I really hope it was a joke then


visuals…I know it's not vogue and we argue about it a little but I'm one of the folks who wants to move away from the hammer and sickle while retaining the red. yes Marxist Memes and whoever have a decent amount of facebook followers but that's it, and we want the whole rest of the world. Hammer and sickle aren't so much even a symbol of whatever negative residues of 20th century socialism, so much as they are NOT something that normal people look at and say 'yes this represents me and my life'. I know this will make stalinstache mad and so yes we here understand and respect the Soviet flag but I'm talking about something for first-worlders and I don't want to take away self-representation for other people (they can wave the H&S in Peru if they want, my gott). I'm basically speaking for myself and Americans here. What visual we should use instead? I'll leave it to the artsy folks but my intuition is something that evokes harmony between nature and technology or something that is nature-y and not tekne-related at all.

Where to put posters, depends where you live. Telephone/streetlight poles in high foot traffic areas is always solid. don't be discouraged when your stuff gets ripped down.


I very much agree. Thank you for reminding me that things are always developing. however I think we are in more of an 1880s Russia situation including Bismarck's Germany. I think your idea of the 1930s comes from you assuming that the rest of the world is on your level of understanding (also, the 20 years prior to now are not at all like the 20 years prior to the 30s). If I'm wrong and we get fascism…shit. see you in the bridges maybe.

This is, I believe, the best approach. Communism is seen by literally everyone (even me at the beginning of the CURRENT YEAR) as a failed totalitarian ideology that always ends up killing 100 billion people.

By subverting playfully capitalist 'culture', we can get on the good side of most people more easily.

Hey that one is not half bad

Make it "Posterity not austerity" for a closer rhyme and to hit the theme that austerity is fucking over future generations so rich old people can live high on the hog right now.


This is especially great if you can do a parody of the burger king logo (this is the burger king slogan fyi). That blue swish could be made into a sickle for sure.

"Read Bordiga" is pretty good.
