I used to listen to Radio Moscow in the 1980s. The female presenters were sexy sounding. Soviet spies in films are always sexy women. Reilly Ace of Spies got shot by men. Nasty horrible things Soviet men. THank god they’ve all gone? Or have they? When the gas starts running out I reckon Communism will make a come back. What goes around comes around. This time it’ll be led by women.

Who say's Soviet can't be made sexy? Well, post-Soviet kitsch anyway. (Warning: slight nudity.)

“…the leather jacket; knee high leather boots, a Sam Brown belt, and a pistol.”

Funny, that’s how I always pictured ‘poemless’ in my mind…

“…dispersed in secluded pairs (having sex)…”

All right, which joker translated that?

Though she’s supposed to disdain all boogying, her left leg has a distinctly danciness about it.

I had a friend who went to see Angela Davis speak at a local university. I asked him to tell me all about it, and he said, “She was dressed really well. I mean, for a Communist.” It totally cracked us up. Because we’re social-minded intellectual types who aren’t supposed to care about such things. Communists aren’t supposed to care about such things. But it was this huge weight off our shoulders that you could be a commie AND look good!

I’ll refrain from drawing any comparison between the aktivistka in that drawing and most female lefty activists I know.

Maybe Communism failed because it just wasn’t sexy. I think I’ve found my calling…
