My submission is maybe the most obvious, Soviet flag over the Reichstag

It can be anything, photograph, painting, meme, screenshot of CCTV footage of a CEO getting domed in the street, etc

The second is absolutely iconic, the look on his face and the way his musculature is shown always reminds me slightly of Michelangelo's David.

Remember when burning a police precinct had a higher approval rating than any of the presidential candidates?

I always love how reactionaries point to in this photo the one ussr officer has two watches, because he obviously stole them off a german troop (who were good and heavenly little angel babies following orders).

As opposed to GI Joe, who only took Japanese skulls as souvenirs

One is a clock and the other is a wrist mounted compass he was issued IIRC

Makes sense, but would I fault him for taking a fascist's watch? Nope.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I mean, what does a dead fascist need a watch for anyway?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 months ago

We don't know for sure but it was likely a wrist mounted compass which were popular in the Red Army.

I do love this one

Not a photograph, but this really has to be up there

It is so powerful that it even has an equal and opposite reaction

I took the picture... in Nicaragua, which had been ruled by the Somoza family since before World War II. The FSLN, popularly known as the Sandinistas, had opposed that regime since the early Sixties. ... I made the image in question on July 16, 1979, the eve of the day that Somoza would flee Nicaragua forever. What is happening is anything but a "riot". In fact, the man is throwing his bomb at a Somoza national guard garrison, one of the last such garrisons remaining in Somoza's hands. It was an important moment in the history of Nicaragua—the Sandinistas would soon take power and hold that power for another decade—and this image ended up representing that moment for a long time to come
