Why Is Communist Iconography Seen As Being Acceptable?
Stalin features over on 'Talk Ivy'. No blood on his hands, then? I think, if I chose Goebbels (much less Hitler) there would be a shit storm. Double standards or what?
I mean, if it's meant as a joke...
It isn't funny.

Would this be Stalin in his tab collar?
We've also had Hitler in his button-down & Lee Harvey Oswald in his Ivy kit...
Go figure.

And if I choose that picture of Hitler as an avatar?

SMF picked up on it. He knows exactly what I'm getting at.

Just realised that it was Lenin who had the tab collar...
You're the first to comment / be bothered by H.'s avatar in public, I think.
Take it up with him would be my advice? Probably on Talk Ivy where he'll see it or via PM? Not sure he reads The Wardrobe...
So far this hasn't been an issue. If it's an issue for you then do please address it with my blessing.
I'm sure H. can explain why he's using it.

Some might care to consider Katyn. For example.

But they would if it was a Nazi, Jim.

The fun issue you raise is what people should be talking about on a clothes forum...
The American clothes forums have always been made fun of for talking about anything but clothes. Usually they talk about class under the disguise of talking about clothes.

A bit more basic than discussing Keydge. A matter of historical facts.

Re: Why Is Communist Iconography Seen As Being Acceptable?
Hopefully I've just killed this dead end on Talk Ivy...
If you really care about politics, or whatever, why cheapen your important beliefs by bringing them out on a clothing forum?
Why not choose a gardening / cookery / watch collecting forum ?
Wouldn't that be equally as redundant ?
I've the greatest love & respect for Andy. He just needs a politics forum for this stuff. His fantastic clothes input is what we love here.

It is sad to see that psychopath Che Guevera re-appearing on T shirts and posters. Unfortunately the innocent victims of his tyranny won't get a mention.
