✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

I found this on XHS, its description is:

1986 China Poster

It shows a child sitting on Marx's shoulders. The poster reads: Marx loves children. The poster was published by Sichuan Fine Arts Publishing House.

I think I'm going to rotate Stalin out for Marx. This painting is just to good!

It's giving "warm summer afternoon" which I need right now as I sit in this cold ass office.

Nice.

I had to change up the /c/sports icon and banner; I just got bored of looking at them.

Comm icons should be changed every year or something.

New year, New me! I really should make a collage of all the art that has kids playing with our socialist icons.

But it was in his intercourse with children that Marx was perhaps most charming. Surely never did children have a more delightful playfellow. My earliest recollection of him is when I was about three years old, and “Mohr” (the old home name will slip out) was carrying me on his shoulder round our small garden in Grafton Terrace, and putting convolvulus flowers in my brown curls. Mohr was admittedly a splendid horse.

Is there a good digital copy of that book? I see internet archive has a PDF scan of the book, but their ebook is just a dump of the text from the PDF, I think, and it's a real mess to look at.

i'm not sure if there's any better copies existing online unfortunately, i pulled the quote from the copy on internet archive
