I have yet to meet a square communist!
I tried:
Wow. To be fair, most of the communists I know are less handsome than that. They look like maybe... somewhat better than average middle-aged people? They also only occasionally stare off to the horizon, far ahead and slightly to the left, with appropriate literature held tightly against their chests :P
I like that black shirt, I'd buy that in a second. We get some really nice propaganda posters here, but often the message is less dramatic than the artwork. Usually it's stuff like 'don't drink and drive', 'try to eat less salt', and 'spitting in public is gross, stop doing it please'. Once I could read them, I discovered most of them were... surprisingly wholesome :D
