My submission is maybe the most obvious, Soviet flag over the Reichstag

It can be anything, photograph, painting, meme, screenshot of CCTV footage of a CEO getting domed in the street, etc

The second is absolutely iconic, the look on his face and the way his musculature is shown always reminds me slightly of Michelangelo's David.

Remember when burning a police precinct had a higher approval rating than any of the presidential candidates?

Not a photograph, but this really has to be up there

It is so powerful that it even has an equal and opposite reaction

This doesn't make top 10, but maybe it makes top 100? Marina Ginestà on top of the Hotel Colón, socialist fighter in the spanish civil war.

I do love this one

I always love how reactionaries point to in this photo the one ussr officer has two watches, because he obviously stole them off a german troop (who were good and heavenly little angel babies following orders).

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 42 points 4 days ago

As opposed to GI Joe, who only took Japanese skulls as souvenirs

One is a clock and the other is a wrist mounted compass he was issued IIRC

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 41 points 4 days ago

Makes sense, but would I fault him for taking a fascist's watch? Nope.

[-] egg1918@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

I mean, what does a dead fascist need a watch for anyway?

We don't know for sure but it was likely a wrist mounted compass which were popular in the Red Army.

Just a buncha queers hanging out over a century ago and I think that's pretty cool

"La Miliciana", Alberto Korda

[-] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

Beautiful. What is the context? Spanish civil war?

[-] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago

Cuban revolutionary militia!

I took the picture... in Nicaragua, which had been ruled by the Somoza family since before World War II. The FSLN, popularly known as the Sandinistas, had opposed that regime since the early Sixties. ... I made the image in question on July 16, 1979, the eve of the day that Somoza would flee Nicaragua forever. What is happening is anything but a "riot". In fact, the man is throwing his bomb at a Somoza national guard garrison, one of the last such garrisons remaining in Somoza's hands. It was an important moment in the history of Nicaragua—the Sandinistas would soon take power and hold that power for another decade—and this image ended up representing that moment for a long time to come

maybe not so much inspiring but an amazing picture none the less

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

What is the context of this picture? I've seen it around and it's hilarious but I have no idea what's going on in it. Is Hillary visiting somebody's house as a photo op?

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 days ago

So it was during her 2016 run i think. She went to some normal persons place in NYC and i guess she is so out of touch shes never seen a normal NYC apartment before, and her rich person brain short circuited.
