It’s not like the Finnish white regime invented the concept of using liquor bottles as thrown improvised weapons. Both sides of the Spanish civil war a few years prior (including Republic-aligned communists and anarchists) used them in abundance. But because the Finns mass produced them and the Western public (namely Britain) was sympathetic to the Finnish “war against tyranny”, “Molotov cocktails” stuck.
Since then however, Molotov cocktails have become symbolic of under-equipped guerrilla forces and protest movements across the political spectrum, but mainly among left wingers and socialists. Even anticommunists would sooner associate them with anarchists than based Finland.
I guess the poster can replace the Molotov with an AK but that kind of undermines the “call to arms” message of it.
“Heh, you Americans like guns so much? But don’t you realize that firearms were invented in CHINA? Social credit score Winnie da poo. I am very intelligent.”
It’s days like these that I curse the Chinese for inventing gunpowder.
Oh you’re putting me up against the wall and executing me for being a fascist, huh? But that’s the gun you’re using, oh, an AR-15? Famous for being the standard issue firearm of the u.s. military, the very same u.s. that’s CAPITALIST?!
I bet you feel so stupid right about now, huh?
“Communistic”
You know, I’m thinking this “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics” led by this “All-Union Communist Party” sounds awfully communistic
The guillotine was made famous during a liberal bourgeois revolution, doesn’t mean it isn’t really good at chopping the heads off the ruling class!
There’s a reason why you see some liberals try to denigrate the legacy of the French Revolution in favor of the comparatively conservative (arguably reactionary) American Revolution. As it turns out, revolutionary violence against a parasitic ruling class is a transferable concept.
In Poland French Revolution is only slightly less smeared in mainstream than October one.
Which is quite ironic given how Polish nationalism and later independence movements came to be.
It also was used by various reactionary governments up until the 1970s. In fact the Paris commune symbolically burnt the guillotine as it was a symbol of oppression.
Still doesn’t takeaway it’s message now though.
Redditor: I don’t normally admit publicly that I support historical fascist regimes, except for when we’re talking about commies!!!1!
Um, actually, Finland was a beautiful Western democracy beset by evil authoritankies!
Just don’t look up their collaboration in the Axis war effort or the camps they put ethnic minorities, trade unionists and anyone to the left of (and even sometimes inclusive of) milquetoast social democrats in since White victory in the civil war to their humbling in WWII.Yes but have you considered that simo hayha was epic and wholesome and that he has a sabaton song so I can start lyric chains whenever anyone mentions him for any reason at all
They always love talking about Finland and the Winter War.
They just love when anyone is killing Russians, for whatever reason. Remember that shark from few years ago?
- the ironie of our former colonists acroſs the Atlantic using Britishe muskets for a separatist uprising really shows thou the average intelligence of an anti-monarchiste
- : “Umm ackyually! Thats a FASCIST weapon!1!1”
How do you get that pressed over a cutsey meme like that? LMAO
It is a tool
Its purpose is whatever its intended user desires, much the same as any other tool
And the guillotine was made by liberals. Still time to put your head in it, porkie.
Bottles are created with working class labor. What we choose to recycle them into is up to us.
