as for history, photomontage is a technique used since mid-victorian era. the communists used it as propagnada, as Usa used it, France, UK, and many other country.
and what you are doing is definitely propaganda for capitalism.
And because Stalin used photomontage as propaganda that would make me a communist propagandist ?!
ahahahah
what a joke !!!
I do think that you are crying for this man, Steve Jobs, who had a great life, but you do not cry on the poor kids everywhere around the Earth.
That is just selfish feeling. you morn him because you feel empty by this loss, because he made you feel better with his company's products. That is definitely a human feeling. selfishness.
tell me where you see a call for violence in this image
I see a call for legitimate sorrow, nothing more.
your interpretation of this image is YOUR interpretation, your political interpretation.
that must be very hard for you to watch movies and pictures if you see this picture as communist propaganda !!!
I don't like communism, i don't like capitalism neither.
both of them killed more people than every other political idea through the world (except religion I guess, but this days capitalism is a kind of religion i guess)
And it is not because Stalin said something that this is not true !
as far as I know he said :
"I believe in one thing only, the power of human will."
"Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach."
"Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts"
There are tons of them, which you may disagree with but are not wrong because he said that.
I love quotes, they make you feel intellegent when you are just not smart enough to tell good things by yourself, don't you agree ^^
So one from Chomsky
"Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state."
your analyse about this picture is just wrong and as said before, you just see what you want to see because of your background. But that is ot the purpose of this montage.
Quote"Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them. Those who do not know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them".
the same guy said :
"American life is a powerful solvent. It seems to neutralize every intellectual element, however tough and alien it may be, and to fuse it in the native good will, complacency, thoughtlessness, and optimism."
"Fashion is something barbarous, for it produces innovation without reason and imitation without benefit"
