Lovely image, but for extra comedic effect you could have gone harder on the labels.

As a bonus, I will share the last time I tried depicting Marx, it was in August 2023. I am quite proud of how far my skills improved in 2 years.

Thank you, I make a conscious effort to make the brushwork a point of appeal.

It’s actually the society. In the alternate timeline of my own works that’s the symbol of the global socialist republic. It also acts as a nifty calling card to me, specifically, because it’s also my own symbol.

I tried initially to give him ordinary colors, but it was so boring I lost interest halfway through and waited a day before trying again with a more interesting palette.

Noted, this will definitely work better. Thank you.

I really need to standardize my aspect ratios and image sizes. I usually just work with 4000x2500 because the numbers look nice.

I loved the way you used it exactly for this reason. Whenever I put effort into an original piece I try to depict my own vision of what art would look like in a socialist alternate timeline, seeing someone catch on to that feels quite gratifying.

LOOK AT ME! I AM A FAMOUS ARTIST!

Thank you for using my art.

I think I miss the days when the news mega replies didn’t go past 3 digits.

I understand the situation now, thank you for the information.

Yes, I am fully aware. But how does this particular action advance Chinese interests? I am helplessly puzzled.

Is the RSS poised to take power? Do they control vital mines or industry? Are they a foil to weaken another element in India?

I need someone else’s knowledge here to help me figure this out.

How does something like this advance Chinese interests?

For maximum factory game spiral into efficiency fever try GregTech New Horizons as well. (you will not see sunlight for months)

This will likely act as an incentive in the future, the first ICE agent to open fire into a crowd of people will probably have the possibility of becoming a GoFundMe millionaire in the back of their mind.

The death of another will never warm my soul.

But sometimes I think one nuclear detonation for every single square kilometer of the United States would not be enough.

It’s depressing, no one was born a fascist, no one was born as an enemy of humanity, every American is just as human as me. The U.S. might be the biggest ongoing tragedy in the history of the world, a society that can corrupt almost anyone born into it to be the lowest that humanity has to offer. A system so intricate and efficient at corrupting minds and inoculating them against human decency one can hardly accept that it wasn’t explicitly designed for that purpose. It became that way through pure mutation and material conditions, it’s a cancer upon the world that happened to grow in the spot where it couldn’t be stopped.

And now that system is on track to live beyond 250 years. What will finally kill the United States? No army can reach it, so something from within must kill it. Domestic tensions are mounting at the moment but every time that happened in the past Democrats step in as a pressure release valve and keep the project going for another 20 years.

Something I noticed is that the “violence has no place in America” discourse following a certain other event is completely absent now.

Some things you learn while in socialist circles truly feel like a burden on the psyche.

The fact that something like Operation Gladio has been so thoroughly obscured from public knowledge makes anyone who attempts to bring it up in conversation look exactly like the stereotype of a “delusional communist”.

“Yes, of course, you commies can only blame big bad U.S. for the failure of your trash ideology, listen to yourself, how can you say that NATO armed secret armies to crush communism in every country west of your beloved Iron Curtain while even giving them backpack nuclear weapons, that sounds like the fantasy of a conspiracy theorist.”

I wonder what would it take for Gladio to become public knowledge, I believe it’s knowledge of such incendiary potency it could probably be brought to light by European governments in the event of a total collapse of NATO and U.S.-Europe relations.

ok it’s actually over 700 now I did not plan for this
