Animated Soviet Propaganda. A four-disc set of animated Soviet propaganda films, coming March 20 from Kino. →[More:]I am so excited for this. Previous experience with Kino discs indicates that if you want this anywhere near the release date, you should pre-order now, directly from them--their distribution abilities aren't so great.

(surely, you saw that coming, dude)

actually, now that the Soviet Union is in the dustbin of history, this stuff is probably fascinating. good tip.

Oh sweet. I just checked out the Godless Communists exhibit at Smith recently. It was thoroughly awesome.

On this vein... anyone knows where I can find some good communist propaganda posters (preferrably framed, preferrably at communist prices)? There are a couple in allposters.com, but I'd like a bit more choice than that.

I can live with the black vans around my corner.

CAPITALIST SHARKS (disc 3) contains six films that take on the bourgeoisie the world over - and sometimes beyond. In INTERPLANTERY REVOLUTION (1924), capitalists escaping to Mars discover the revolution has spread throughout the galaxy.

Man, this sounds like the coolest DVD ever

My favorite bit of propaganda:

Worker and Parasite (YouTube)

This would go perfectly right next to Red Dawn on the shelf.
