There are couple of weirdos in Tampere who are maoists and they’re unfortunately kind of active like that. One thing they also do regularly is appear in demonstrations with a Soviet flag even though they have repeatedly been told to not bring their tankie symbols there.
I can assure you it’s only a few people whom absolutely no one takes seriously.
They are political posters that advertise maoism. There is no other purpose.
Looks like trash to me
just some clowns miss empty shelves, lack of food options and suffering from 80s…while refusing to move to ruskie mir for very strange reasons.
Fringe horseshit
Tampere is somewhat of a “red” city, at least historically speaking. Some of that school of thought still lingers around to this day
The maoism is somehow linked to pro-Palestine protests. Don’t ask me how. I also do not know how wide spread this is, but I’ve seen pictures of a pro-Palestine protest, and there were three protest banners with some kind of communist message and in the color red.
The cabinet is an emergency water source for fire department. It is waterpost with anti-freeze
Wait. I always thought those were memes and jokes…… (i don’t read much Finnish. ) Never occurred to me that they were serious propaganda. 😨😱💀. I am genuinely surprised at this point. Did not expect this ‘nostalgic’ moment 😂.
Itse repisin pois
More interesting than some posters are the persons behind them. What makes some people to support that kind of communism? But, actually, Maoists are not so usual. Far more frequent are those who are sure that anything against the written history and academics must be something intelligent and wise. Thus, we have flat earthers, neo nazis, reigious and political extremists, you go and name them all!
By the way, there is a Lenin museum in Tampere. It is situated in the house in which Lenin and Stalin actually met for the first time. The exhibition is not big, but to my eyes, quite cleverly made. There are old soviet items, posters, videos, merch desk and so on. You look around there and decide yourself, if that is realism, romantics or what really. I suppose the place is too tough for the most simple. The beautiful orange tea cups and such make you think if it all was only bad. Clearly, some people were able to be happy even there. But what should we think about that?
By the way, by raw numbers of killed people, Mao was nothing but a monster. Still, in Cambodia, Pol Pot (the Red Khmers) used Mao’s doings, the great leap and culture revolution, as a model of his own terror project. According to the worst estimates, he managed to kill about a fifth of his citizens in just few years. The more positive estimates are marginally better.
Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin and some more modern leaders are horrible examples of what shared stupidity and fear can cause. These Mao posters are great. Most probably they don’t work as intended. They remind us of any kind of politically accepted terror. At least, they should!
It’s Tampere lol.
I think they have the largest, or at least most vocal, far-left-communities in Finland. Pretty much every hardcore communist or anarchist friend I have lives in Tampere.
china has these kind of pr/propaganda chapters in finland. if i remember correctly, yle had a mot documentary about this topic. i’m not sure if this is exactly that but looks like it
The real-life equivalent of internet trolls. Don’t pay them any attention.
I think reddit mods lieave those in public spaces during their spare time.
LMAO r/suomi mods got mad and banned me for this.
These are stickers from unironical Maoist communists. Maoism as an ideology killed more people than any other ideology in the history of the humankind.
The stupidity of some people never stops amazing me, seeing neo-communist or neo-nazi stickers makes me cringe hard.
I am a Vietnamese and I lived in Vietnam more than 20years. Vietnam is ruled by communist party which is really bad, corruption, no free voice, no free newspaper because they want to control everything and crush any potential, even minor threats to communist party’s existence. Everyday i hope they disappear so that my people are free, free to vote for the our government. I am really surprised when still some people in Finland support communist. Those people don’t understand how cruel communist is.
Some mentally ill people who like to celebrate the biggest mass murderer in history put them up
Fuck those clowns. They have no fucking idea about the [Mao’s famine](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine). People were hungry. So hungry that some ate “two-feet-sheep”. Yes that was cannibalism.
Its just red fascists spreading their bs around.
It’s the unemployed playing around.
mitä vittua 😀
I see them constantly. Communist Larpers. Usually students, this after all used to be a red’s stronghold.
