There is a running joke that communism dulls down the human ability to create art. Look who is laughing now .
I decided to Arabicize this a bit with a bit of Persian in it.
hope you guys like it



I had this unfinished hammer and sickle pencil work in my drawer for years and I never finished it because it looked so plain. But I instead decided to finish it but add some different influences for style. So after 1 and a half years I finished it

You're trying to convey how the Uighurs are going to subvert the CPC from within, turning China into a hybrid (and ultimately failed) Soviet-Islamic state? Thankfully you guys would still have Taiwan to keep Chinese traditional culture alive. Well, 'have'.

I like this even more for the apparent butthurt it provokes. Nice drawing, Philochan.

Thank you comrade Conscript . I did my best to blend the cultural aesthetics together in unison as much possible

[The Clockwork Rat]

I think a keyboard and a mouse would be more appropriate.

What do you mean? You mean use digital art? I considered getting a Waccom at one point but I don't do enough art so I never bothered getting it

[The Clockwork Rat]

No, I mean that the hammer and sickle are no longer appropriate symbols for the working class.

That's not really the issue, of course, because political symbols no longer hold the same power they once did.

Your efficiency, that's the only communist thing about you, my dear.

A more proper spelling is Uyghur because that spelling can have wrong pronunciation in Arabic or any transliterated language. Arabic or any product of Arabiyya such as the Uyghuric script is not transliterated into an English syllabary and although you must spell it the way it is pronounced you must do so accurately.

The Uyghurs as a whole are very liberal and pose little threat to China although it will not always be the case.

Took me no more than 10 minutes to finish when I realized I still had it .

Also, you left out the artistic value

[Conscript]

Rapid industrialization and picking up your slack (given capitalism's uneven and combined development) in the global south and post-colonial world, in a short period of time, kind of defines reds more, I think. We're not talking showering tiny rocks like Hong Kong or Singapore with established Western capital, either.

Sometimes those reds even had to perform the tasks of a liberal revolution.

Besides, what is communism without inspiring art and symbolism?

[PhiloChan]

Ahhh.
Well being a computar dork I find the keyboard and mouse to have very different meanings in terms of symbolism. A symbol does not loose value so easily by the way. When you see a hammer and sickle you know what to associate it with. With this sort of logic the long running symbols of the American Democratic and Republican parties should be rendered useless. And the Christian church should stop using the cross

The needless embellishment to our state symbols is decadent and bourgeois. Please report to Eauz for your reeducation assignment.

Obviously you have never seen the Moscow Kremlin. Decadence and immaculateness is the purity of socialism. What you are referring to is kitsch which is the aggrandized and overbearing works called art produced by capitalists thinking plastering gold to anything qualifies as art.

But 'Uyghur' is a Turkic language and the pronunciation isn't influenced by the swap of a 'y' and an 'i', which is the European spelling. Nice try though.

I know it is not a European language. It is written in Arabic script which I am familiar with. When you write it in English though the usage of a y can create a wrong pronunciation.

God the new left really are determined to fuck up socialism. If you just want to ditch the working class and only represents middle class London types go join and the Labour party.

I was gonna say "go join the occupy Hong Kong Movement" . Their symbol should have been a flaccid penis on top of the world's smallest violin.

Their theme song was like this

Very riveting stuff. I just wish it was more longer
