Imperialism
Who Is That You All Are Going to Whip, Mr. Legree by Robert Minor
This one always makes me laugh. Even when I know it is coming and I try to not laugh. As far as I can tell (and it is somewhat difficult), it was drawn by Robert Minor for the Daily Worker .
I don’t know why the main place I can find it is the Marxist library .
Especially because over time, this looks better for China, India, and Africa, and less good for French+British imperialism. The Soviet in the back is also great. Maybe in 50 years, with some luck, things won’t look so great for American imperialism either.
What Has He Done To Deserve This – American and the Metric System
Supposedly this gem is in the 1917 edition of the American Machinist, but I couldn’t read the index in the ebook. I also
couldn’t find the author. America will probably always have freedom units “imperial
units”
to be “exceptional.”
All the homies hate Winston Churchill
As far as I can tell, this is Japanese WW2 propaganda, but I can’t find a source except for Reddit . This isn’t substantive in any meaningful way, but I just think it is funny that people thousands of miles away separated across decades can still share a dislike of the same person.
Churchill’s Secret War by Madhusree Mukerjee is on my reading list. There are some serious Churchill-Martys in the world and no amount of apologetics will change this picture from summing up what billions of people will think about Winston Churchill for the next 500 years.
It also might be digitally editted. Either way, I approve.
