So i got this on my side…
the woman with the red flag is taken from the IWW song book The Rebel Girl.
iamkrisan asked: *butter sword.
Oh dearest Krisan! The butter-sword has a special place in butter-knife history for me. Its contribution to the collection will in no way be forgotten. <3
I am finally posting what should have been posted a long long time ago: my butter-knife collection. The scheme is as follows, ever i go i always try and steal a butter-knife to let myself know that that day was a day in which i did something good and or worth while. A butter-knife expropriation mission is a never ending mission and the only areas that are exempt from butter knife theft are when they are in people’s houses. Every butter-knife i have is dated, an account of who i was with, and where it was taken. A rule that i have adopted is that i can not except donation butter-knives, unless there are extraordinary and arbitrarily decided circumstances.
I plan on posting a picture of each butter-knife and a, hopefully, the good story behind it.
Sky High Ambitions - Shi Qi

Published a year after Mao Tsu-Tung’s death and with Tung Xaio-Ping’s return to power. Posters in China, like this one, were beginning to break with the socialist realism style and take on a more abstract style. Posters published after Mao’s death would feature characters in more traditional dress and often times would drop the “Mao suit” altogether.
