Damn, I didn’t know F.D. Signifier had a finance channel
Legit had the same thought
I wildly fluctuate between bloomer “capitalism is on it’s last legs” and doomer “the shambling corpse of capitalism can be weekend at bernie’s for at least another century”
The stench of the corpse rotting is getting pretty hard to ignore unless you have some form of fancy nose plugs firmly in place.
I’m 10 minutes into this so far. The video uses an ai generated david attenborough voice, loves the phrase “regime”, and is basically infantilising the current communist movement as a “fashion statement”.
Oooo 20 minutes in and their thing now is “prison camps were used for free labour”.
22mins in and we’re at holodomor, they’re seizing on pro-ukrainian sentiment to spin this as a genocide.
The rest is the Hungarian revolution, some “the gdr collapsed therefore capitalism was better” followed by the collapse of the soviet union.
Quite dull tbh. Nothing new here and if any of these arguments worked then communism wouldn’t be rising.
is there still a pro-Ukrainian sentiment or is that just thinly veiled Russophobia?
If we count “to the last Ukrainian” as a pro-Ukrainian sentiment.
new hammer and sickle variant dropped
eurocommunism?
Are those supposed to be chopsticks?
O thought maybe the euro symbol €
But that makes no sense when I think about it
I scrubbed through the whole video and didn’t find an animation or anything. It was made by the Adam Smith Institute and I think just rehosted on that channel, so it’s probably meaningless, but given that it focuses primarily on Eastern Europe it may mean the Euro; but I think anyone can easily recognize that Euro hegemony is a matter enforced by the Western European nations. Frankly, it’s probably almost meaningless.
However fun fact, @LeftAesthetic on instagram did use this as a symbol for her art, either still now or just for a period. Check the bottom left of the image below
This could be the cover of Communist Megaman, but y’all playing.
Be warned. Scared libs are easily scratched. ⚠️
They’ve cut us off from the helipad, we’re finished…! I can see them now, it’s an alliance of peasants and… I think those ones are Chinese chefs? Knitting circle members? Metal drummers? It’s kind of unclearThey’ve cut us off from the helipad, we’re finished…!
Internationale, Internationale in the deep. They are coming.
This seems like they started with the thumbnail and then wrote the video around it
