Why not show Rosie the riveter? Literally the most famous women worker poster in American history? Oh right. Cuz propaganda. Is this a pro socialist space or a pro Stalinist space?

Pro-socialism is when US propaganda?

Hmm, just looked it up, and the image of Rosie most famous today was commissioned by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation for internal use to discourage strikes.

Yeah, this community has a lot of tankies. I think there's stuff to learn from the past, but too many people try to whitewash or emulate it. These are different times that require different ideas and solutions; especially if we want to be better than we were in the past.

Because Rosie the Riveter was also war propaganda designed to get more women involved in the slaughter of innocents. It has nothing to do with Socialist ideals.
