Photo of the Week: Chicago Billboard Advertises Communism

November 13, 2011

That’s right folks, you didn’t misread that headline. A reader sent us this photo of a billboard advertising “Vision and Communism,” taken near Milwaukee Ave. and Bloomingdale in Chicago’s trendy-north-side Bucktown neighborhood.

The aggressive propaganda is being used to “advertise” a Soviet propaganda art exhibit at the “Smart Museum of Art” at the University of Chicago.

Tell me the communists aren’t coming.

    Fucking terrifying! Aggressive propaganda promoting and exhibit about Soviet propaganda? First they “advertise” an “art exhibit” and next thing we know, we’re locked up in the chains of communism.

    Bill Ayers and George Soros clearly have a hand in this. We should all be VERY scared as we teeter on the brink of Communism here in America.
