Rejoice, Goofish comrades! Here is a massively cool gallery of Russian, Chinese, Czech, Polish, and Cuban propaganda posters. I despised the politics behind the Iron Curtain, but I love the heroic themes, clean lines, and uncluttered design of Social Realism. Funny how this once horrifying aspect of the formerly Evil Empire has become kitsch with its simplistic portrayals of happy patriots laboring for the Motherland. (via The Cartoonist)
