Showing posts with the label who needs Santa when I have Lenin

Ads that I like: #97

Chinese political propaganda two weeks running? Must be something in the water! I couldn't go past this little number from 1982 featuring Lenin, a cat, and some decidedly non-East Asian children (except for the decidedly dodgy-looking scamp in the chequered overalls and dunce's hat). I think that this group represents the best mix of crafty proletarian children; the cunning genius of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov himself; and the addition of a feline friend positively brimming with Communist Christmas Pride ! Remember, nothing - not even handguns - says "Christmas" quite like the masses against the classes.
