The “Kings” of Communism
Source: huffingtonpost
This poster looked to instill confidence in those who supported the communists in the 1960s. The caption read “Forward, to the victory of communism.” Featured on the poster are Lenin, Engels, and Marx as they were among the most popular communists of the time and looked to be good representations of the movement. Despite the party’s best efforts, communism continued to falter as German citizens feared another uprising would occur and World War III would finally destroy what was left of the country following a humiliating defeat during Worl War II. Today, Germany is a constitutional, parliamentary democracy where citizens choose their representatives periodically in free and fair multi-party elections.
