Was anti communist propaganda visible in your country? Is it still?
-Greece, not much now but heavy in the past -many older tv series calling communist bad, remember some tv series say "there are only 2 things you shouldn't become, gay or a communist" as if communism is the ultimate evil or something
Anti communist propaganda is mostly dead now since they think we have been defeated
Ethan White
This is a few months ago in times square.
Christopher Fisher
Holy shit, are we getting strong again and they have to start anti communist propaganda?
Easton Reyes
This was on Oct. 17 so it's before the election and all the protests since. They looked at Bernie's campaign and the polls that showed what kids thought socialism vs capitalism and panicked.
Evan Kelly
Do history books count?
Getting real tired of capitalists lying about those grossly inflated death counts in the USSR and China
Nathan Jenkins
Bump
Aiden Hernandez
These are the people we need to punch, screw nazis and capitalists. If we have to fight against their propaganda, class consciousness becomes just hard to make.
Charles Morris
I tried to warn you guys about this but most of you just repeated "dumb tankie" over and over. If people can be unironically convinced that socialism killed le 100 million, their not going to trust socialists even if you spew some McCarthy-tier talking points about the USSR and go on about how it wasn't true socialism.
Isaac Ward
Britain; it wasn't as bad as some countries during the Cold War, but it was rife in the 1920s/30s
Not very visible but it's tied up with racism, nationalism etc.
Evan Martinez
What the hell did you warn us about then, dumb tankie? We already know people have been indoctrinated with this BS. Now we have to do a bit of entryism and the moment they start to accuse us of communism or takes russia as an example, you point at the real flaws in Stalin's regime. Meanwhile, this tankie is gonna defend them still? Sure, you will have good points to defend, but it'll be harder than introducing people to more democratic forms of socialism.
Caleb Robinson
How much do you think it would cost to buy adspace to post a capitalism death count? Holla Forums should crowd fund for ad space.
Jose Foster
Hungary. The gov't been doing that alt-right even before it was named alt-right. So, yes, very hard anti-communist propaganda.
Also, all of our socialist partis are neolibs
Benjamin Hernandez
In times square? Millions of dollars I'm sure.
Liam Long
I bet communism kills has some millionaire bankrolling it. It's doable but perhaps not in Times Square.
Jacob Ward
Watering down the message isn't going to get you anywhere at worst it will just mean you become the tail to some centrist neoliberal at best it means supporting some social democrat who will sell both you and the workers out. Then you'll be really embarrassed when the workers ask you why you didn't see that coming.
And when people can still be convinced social democracy is tantamount to communism then things definitely aren't going to shift to the left when that happens.
Bentley Reed
I looked it is about 1-4 million but that is for an annual display. Something controversial wont need to stay up more than a few days to a week to get massive attention. If there is a way to buy short term adspace it might be able to obtainable even in Time Square.
Zachary Rogers
If it's shitting on Capitalism I bet it wouldn't even be up for two days.
Hudson Lee
I figure it would be about 2 k per day if you can buy daily. Worth a shot. It would be seen by people from all over the world.
Charles Gomez
Holla Forums did manage to raise 500 obamaland funbux for the Wolff when we had half as many posters as now
If we could manage to get $4000 together for a two-day ad over a big holiday like the 4th I think the dividends from the salt alone would be worth it. I would think though that these ads are bought and planned months in advance but I've never even hung a poster much less bought a billboard somewhere.
Ian Bennett
Getting that big a billboard up is gonna cost way more than 4k.
Jonathan Howard
get paid pupper
Aaron Robinson
I was thinking not a billboard but a digital display that already is up.
I'll call around later when more people are awake to see how much a billboard would be for a small amount of time and if they'd even do it.

How did you interpret supporting social democracy from that. By all means, speak as radical and criticize the current establishment as much as you can. But trying to get people towards socialism is best done by emphasizing the definition of socialism, not by saying just "higher wages, bigger cages, longer chains", or saying USSR didn't do everything wrong. And then you give examples of systems, like democratic confederalism and luxemburgism and the like. Then again, I'd call myself libertarian socialist in that situation. You'd attempt to excuse fucking pol pot if push comes to shove, I imagine.
Colton Brown
wasn't it imperialists who destroyed cambodias countryside with bombs?
Josiah Anderson
If they ask what it is for say it's a PSA. If they push for more info say "it's to help the underprivileged"
Noah Diaz
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is Anti-Leftist propaganda in and of itself.
Zachary Carter
Any specific line from it?
Benjamin Jones
I was taught in school that in communist countries the party dictated where you lived, what job you did, and who you married, and that all your possessions belonged to the state. This was like 10 years after the end of the USSR.
Grayson Morris
If you went to North Korea some of that is true.
Lincoln Reyes
But the USSR didn't do everything wrong. Sure, it messed up a lot, but allowing this liberal propaganda against it to stand still discredits leftism as a whole. We'll remain permanently associated with a society you'll allow people to believe was an utterly dystopian hellhole where everyone was miserable. Luxemburgism isn't even a system of government, and the DemCons have yet to prove they're worth a damn. I personally believe they'll end up quite capitalist if they survive.

Bullshit it's a major tourist spot with people from all over the planet.It also often has filming of tv shows and movies so there might be a small chance it could wind up in the background of ssmething. At the very least it will make social media.

Do you get tired of the Holocaust being inflated too?
Noah Peterson
I wonder who was behind this…
Eli Foster
Someone needs to make a thread for the anti-capitalist propaganda plot. I think its being overlooked in this thread from it beig opposite of subject. I would set up something myself but i dont know how to set up crowd funding or contacting businesses.
