728 Words3 Pages

In the first source it is being viewed from the communist perspective in how socialism in the Soviet Union was the cause of supporting and emphasizing the Bolsheviks and all the workers, farmers and honest citizens. By doing so, the idea of Liberalism is rejected in the way how the party controlled everything, creating a classless society. The party line integrated its ranks and force becoming a strong, powerful core. They rejected liberalism in having no social classes, no equality and removing every sense of freedom in man. The government abuse of authority led to the over-intervention which in response posed a threat to liberty. According to philosopher ‘Plato’, the state should be a staged structure, where the different social classes cooperate …show more content…

In the poster by Maria Voron, it is apparent that there is a female worker who is classified as a ‘Super Productive worker’ based on the title. She is holding hay and is perceiving the public image of being a strong, hard worker who, standing in the foreground of many more people like her, is smirking while she is working. The Bolshevik’s used propaganda such as this to ensure the support of the public population and their views on the party’s ruling were put across in the most persuasive manner possible. Anything hostile or damaging to the party would not be made or shown to public. This poster is exposing the classless society of the Soviet Union as all the people shown are doing the same job such as slaves almost. Again, there is no equality shown in this poster which was the reality of Stalin’s authority in power. There are no rights or freedom shown and this poster can be compared to children doing chores around a house for a greater force except for the fact that these are grown, independent people who should have more freedom than a child.

  • Analysis Of How Donald Trump Brought Populism To Washington

    He only introduces liberal based views to describe how incorrectly the Clinton campaign and the media projected the Trump campaign’s effect on the American people. “So convinced were Democrats and liberals that changing demographics guaranteed them victory in presidential elections that they ignored or undermined or provoked the very white working-class voters that made Trump president” (Continetti, 2016). As described in the “Liberalism and Conservatism” presentation, the Clinton campaign championed the liberal views of bigger and better central government, diplomacy, changeable moral principles, toleration and diversity. Instead, Continetti contends that it was a tiring of Obama’s liberal administration and a push for more conservative based views that ignited discussions and swayed voters towards Trump. “Clearly the platform of social liberalism, globalization and appeals to race and ethnicity and sex is not as popular as we had been led to believe” (Continetti, 2016).

    This highlights the still present class system in Russia. Even though serfs had been freed they were still being treated as the lowest class, but in turn they were still free to vote and do everything any other free Russian citizen could do, in theory. Things were still unequal and life was hard for the serfs. Serfs who had recently been freed had no means for income and struggled to provide for their families. This arrangement worked in favor for the Russian government because the freed unemployed serfs would join the army and help Russia fight.

    Therefore, despite the horrors of Stalin’s regime, one could argue that the socialist realism paintings could ‘mould the consciousness of the people’ into believing that Stalin was a great and wise leader, a kind and humble man, and the father of all Soviet people, thus reinforcing his cult of personality that tries to portray him in that light. However, while art might have the power to do this, one must not forget about other visual representations of life such as photographs and posters. Their relative power and influence will be discussed later in the

  • Donna Woolfolk Cross's Argument Against Propaganda

    1086 Words  | 5 Pages

    Donna Woolfolk Cross posits that being informed about the many forms of propaganda is important for everyone living in a democratic society. She backs up her argument by pointing out the common misconceptions about propaganda, such as the reality that even though most people are against propaganda, they are likely not to understand some of the more common applications of propaganda. Cross suggests that, because of this misunderstanding, many of those who are against propaganda may be fooled by it frequently. This nation-wide manipulation occurs every day, and if a democratic system is to ever represent the whole of a population, instead of just a fraction’s manipulations, then it is essential that individuals learn how to detect and deal with propaganda. Cross offers up several points of advice for people in regards to handling propaganda.
