why was soviet vexillology so ugly? not a single pleasant or good looking flag in there
>>
>>18404304
Every communist flag is terrible but every communist song is pretty good. Communist books are just mediocre. I don't get it either.

>.bots that got filtered

You have to have a divine spark to appreciate them.
>>
>>18404316
>every communist song is pretty good
false, all of the best communist songs are either stolen from pre-revolution russian composers, or composed by people who lived during the tsar. communism destroyed russian culture in its entirety and that's a fact
>>
>>18404321
Liberian flags look better anon, sorry
>>
>>18404327
Literally denying reality because Communist songs are better than management music. Communism didn't destroy Russian culture and it was only an evolutionary phase. Communism is inherently white.
>>
>>18404331
everybody knows russian authors from the 19th century
very few people know soviet authors, and even then the ones that are known are all from around 1920 (so before communist rot was able to settle in)

everybody knows 19th russian composers, nobody gives a shit about soviet composers, even in russia

everybody knows 19th century russian artists and their paintings, nobody gives a shit about communist russian paintings from the 20th century

nobody gives a shit about soviet cinema either besides tarkovsky (who was the least communist director in all of soviet union

and when the soviet union fell, russians immediately adopted and went back to imperial era aesthetics. even despite putler's attempts, most modern russians despise soviet aesthetics

face it, commietard, you lost.

>>18404334
>everybody knows 19th russian composers, nobody gives a shit about soviet composers, even in russia
People with taste care about Prokofiev and Shostakovich
>everybody knows 19th century russian artists and their paintings, nobody gives a shit about communist russian paintings from the 20th century
People with taste care about Kandinsky and Malevich
>nobody gives a shit about soviet cinema either besides tarkovsky (who was the least communist director in all of soviet union
People with taste care about Eisenstein and Kandinsky
You are a retarded thirdie shitskin who doesn't know the first thing about art
>>
>>18404304
That's like asking why does USA states had mostly seal on a beadsheet design. Yea a UNION of Soviet Socialist REPUBLICS would have flags with the same design template. And Georgia and Estonia are the best ones because they are the most varied.
>>18404334
>everybody knows 19th century russian artists and their paintings, nobody gives a shit about communist russian paintings from the 20th century
which peroid are we talking abaut?
Socialist Realism, Soviet Futurism, Early Peroid of SU late peroid of SU, Various art pieces from various Republics?
>>
>>18404327
Sorry, but Solomon Volkov lied. Shostakovich was the head of the Composer's Soviet.
>>
>>18404356
>Prokofiev and Shostakovich
both studied under composers and teachers who still lived under the russian empire (so the actual artistry still trickled down to them)
>Kandinsky and Malevich
literally both lived and studied in the russian empire and kadinsky even escaped the soviet shithole
>Eisenstein
nowhere near as relevant as tarkovsky + also studied under teachers who still lived under the tsar
>>
>>18404304
Because Marxism is rooted in materialism. It denies the metaphysical and thus denies aesthetic beauty
>>
>>18404316
Spartakist flag looked pretty nice. Obviously because germans designed it instead of slavlosers.
>>
>>18404378
>metaphysical and thus denies aesthetic beauty
You do not understand dialectical materialism very well. They do not deny that ideas are subjective, they just consider it an emergence from the material world.
>>
>>18404372
The Estonian flag was almost the same as the Latvian flag, and the latter is honestly better with no red at the bottom.
>>
>he didnt watch the youtube short

>>18404304
>vexillology
Back to redd*t you go -->
>>
>>18404304
Honestly I think that communist/socialist flags should really lean into the futuristic aspect.

It should feel technocratic and futuristic, especially since they claim to be the future of mankind or whatever.

low iq monkey nigger ape

this shit looks even worse

>Communism didn't destroy Russian culture
If that were true, you wouldn’t have overthrown the Tsar.
>>

>>18405668

Russian culture before communism was basically just serfdom with a very small Moscovite elite who were patrionaged art and music. Like 2/3 of the population was serfs who couldn't leave their land and they never developed proper feudalism either.

It's not like there was much good to preserve.

At least in China, there was Confucianism which valued education and meritocracy and that was lost for a few decades under Mao. Russian culture was mostly backwards before communism.

>>18405687
retard lol

>Russian culture before communism was basically just serfdom
Russian serfdom was abolished between 1861 and 1866 by Tsar Alexander II
>>
>>18406459
It was far too late. Western Europe was already moving to nationalist ideology by then
>>
>>18406605
>>18405687
Solzhenitsyn alone debunks your retarded communist drivel, cunt.
>>
>>18407232
I am not a communist, I simply don't think there was any way for Russia to continue as it was
>>
>>18404356
>People with taste care
No True Scotsman...
>>18404381
Among Russian revolutionaries of 19th century were very popular ideas of utilitarianism.
>>18406459
Serfdom was abolished, but most of peasantry still lived the same as they lived in 1861, illiterate, pissed-shit-covered, poor and with backward communal farming system, where each family has a small piece of soil, which were redistributed every several years. One of the main dream of Russian peasantry was elimination of private property on land and giving it to peasantry, so they can redistribute it among they.
>>18407232
Russian political culture was very backward. Especially thank to socialist teenagers of 1900s, who use terror as primary tool of political activity.
>>
>>18407261 (me)
>illiterate
Of course, by 1890-1910 in Russia were number of peasants who had migrated in cities, learned to read and write, etc, but they were roughly 3-5%. And yes, even if they learn to read, their taste in literature were limited to religious books.
