Who is not moved by <a href="http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=heroes+square&FORM=HDRSC2" rel="nofollow">Heroes' Square</a>?<br /><br />I'm not convinced, though, that the association with fascism is necessarily permanent, even in our culture. Why not just... keep using that imagery anyway? Wouldn't persistent use of that type of imagery by people who simply aren't fascists eventually break the association?Samson J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-85808407607813517282013-06-20T08:35:21.488+10:002013-06-20T08:35:21.488+10:00I don't know the original creator, but I like ...I don't know the original creator, but I like this one with Obama as Urkel from Family Matters: http://questioningwithboldness.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/obama_urkel_economy.jpg<br /><br />If you aren't familiar with the character Urkel, see the opening part of this youtube video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY-i3bClGyQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-76677637407532370352013-06-18T08:01:30.020+10:002013-06-18T08:01:30.020+10:00It appears the the former Soviets, don't seem ...<i>It appears the the former Soviets, don't seem to have the same hatred of the past as the West does.</i><br /><br />I lived in Russia for awhile in 1997 and even then, so soon after the dissolution of the USSR, they had art exhibits featuring old Soviet poster and banners.

Iron man or man of steel, though I think the latter is more accurate. I think it is Polish. (Slavic languages are similar, and I speak Croatian)<br /><br />It's interesting that the fascists saw art as an integral medium through which to spread the ideology. Unfortunately, they were too successful and now any form of martial or classic art subordinated to political purpose is automatically assumed to be fascistic. The only type of martial art that seems to be acceptable in today's society is the wounded or defeated soldier.<br /><br />By the way, got wind of this aesthetically pleasing Russian film <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNPqcQgpCJg" rel="nofollow">Admiral</a>. Interestingly, it was partially financed by the ministry of culture in Russia.

It appears to me that the anti-progressive, social conservatives, and pro-Christians are so starved for artistic avatars and imagery in the main stream that they latch on to caricatures of their beliefs. For example, Archie Bunker was a break out success despite being an intentional caricature. Or more modern (and cruder), Sterling Archer and Ron Swanson.<br /><br />2 - I'm surprised you didn't tie these suggestions into the appeal and social image of manliness as explained in previous posts with the 'manly socialists'.<br /><br />3 - The eastern european one is self explanatory, but now I am curious as to what it says. Polish?<br /><br />4 - The libertarian-ish tea partiers would use the phrase "Who is John Galt?" back in 2008/9 to much effect.<br /><br />Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-57423992277987599022013-06-16T23:34:22.472+10:002013-06-16T23:34:22.472+10:00Those are effective, I liked the stripper one best...Those are effective, I liked the stripper one best.
