You have to design your avatar and then it tells you off for not being socialist enough. It then depicts you as a factory worker (albeit a smiling one) implying that you can’t have any free will or personal tastes
Socialism when no casual clothes, magazines, or beer apparently.
One more for funsies
The worst thing liberals can imagine is having a real job
One western country was cool for like 50 years and the fucking liberals will never let that go
“We have liberated Europe from fascism, but they will never forgive us for it.”
One of the strongest liberal attacks on socialism is “we are more than the work we do”, which is why they strip you of your personal identity for socialism and only depict you as the worker identity.
It’s a reapplication of the personal property vs private property argument except applied to personal identity. They’re coming for your toothbrush vs they’re coming for your personal identity.
The personal identity element then also ties into the “they’re coming for your freedom” propaganda since the only time anyone ever feels free under capitalism is when they’re able to assume their personal identity. The time that people feel least free is when forced to assume their workplace identity, which is strictly controlled by the dictatorship of a company that they work for.
The funniest thing to me in relation to this, is the complete crank “tankies” out there who are like “yes, that’s exactly what communism does, and that’s what we want”.
I just assume these are fash or wreckers tbh. I don’t believe them for a second. Doesn’t matter what they are though they get treated the same way either way.
Yeah. Like, I get them on the whole “Soviet aesthetics are cool AF” thing. I even think modern commie states should still build stuff in the Soviet brutalist style, which I am aware is a controversial opinion even among commies. But at a certain point… you don’t like brutalism, you like fascism in a sloppy coat of red paint.
Nazis hated what would end up becoming brutalism
Sure, the fascists hated it then. But modern fascists who think they’re communists, National Bolshevik types, they really love Soviet aesthetics, they just also like systems of governance that are incompatible with socialist economic systems.
The sad thing is I think they buy all this nonsense
Damn can you imagine an economic system that doesn’t let you be what you want to be?
You just know this was ordered to be installed by someone who can’t imagine work being an enjoyable part of life.
Dance dance revolution got weird
Telling someone off for not being socialist enough is the most socialist thing you can do though.
I don’t know what the Dance Dance Revolution museum has to do with it though
I know right? This website should have a thing like this. Where no matter what you do, it tells you off for not being socialist enough. I think a lot of commies would have fun playing with that.
I assume it’s related to this (possible content warning? Robot Chicken can be rude and vulgar):
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
release the GDR picrew!!
Hell yeah! A picrew maker that tells you off for not being enough of a communist stereotype! That’s fun!
Best I can offer: https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/1502194
Pretty neat, even if it doesn’t tell you off when you’re done…
I grew up with a Jewish man who immigrated to the US as the USSR was coming to it’s final days. From the way he tells it, you were definitely allowed to be a cool, rock and roll stoner dude if that was your choice. That’s what he chose.
I have no doubt. But that flies in the face of the stereotype.

I am sorely disappointed this has nothing to do with Dance Dance Revolution
Interestingly, they’re both bricklayers.
Like, if this was about the ‘ideal socialist human’ then like, it’s so stupid that just because someone does work in bricklayering and does look like that, doesn’t mean they can’t look or act different outside work. Surely for example, you’d wear the left outfits when you’re not in your jobsite, or when you’re at your house, or the park, or any public space…
Insinuating you can’t have both (I’m assuming! Maybe I read it wrong) is dumb lol.
I like that it gives you a newspaper every time
Fuckin’ Trots, at it again!
Thats not a factory worker thats a brick layer, and also your friends are wrong and the museum is correct, sorry babe :^)
I realised my mistake but decided to leave it. Both are honest proletarian jobs and the backbone of any functioning society
meanwhile capitalism
