Leftsthetics - Leftist Aesthetics

Description and commentary by Hassan Musa:

"The Arabic text in Karl Marx portrait is not from the Communist Manifesto except for the « Workers of the world Unite! » on the upper part of my image. The facial features of K.Marx are made of a fake writing (Arabic letters are recognizable but there is no text). The background is made of a selection of Koranic verses inciting Muslims to fight against tyranny and injustice.

I remember I discovered the Communist Manifesto as a teenager, after reading the Coran. The communist Utopia seemed similar to the Muslim Paradise."

An institution that hoarded obscene amounts of wealth and authority finally gets challenged by the masses!

The line appears in the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed a year later in Moscow by the US, UK and USSR (followed by many others). Poster designed by Viktor Ivanovich Govorkov, one of the most famous Soviet propagandists of the time.
