It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

Where can I get the soviet poster?

Why not show Rosie the riveter? Literally the most famous women worker poster in American history? Oh right. Cuz propaganda. Is this a pro socialist space or a pro Stalinist space?

Because Rosie the Riveter was also war propaganda designed to get more women involved in the slaughter of innocents. It has nothing to do with Socialist ideals.

Pro-socialism is when US propaganda?

Hmm, just looked it up, and the image of Rosie most famous today was commissioned by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation for internal use to discourage strikes.

Yeah, this community has a lot of tankies. I think there's stuff to learn from the past, but too many people try to whitewash or emulate it. These are different times that require different ideas and solutions; especially if we want to be better than we were in the past.
