I did not do a "search". If these have been previously posted, it's probably time to post them again.

whoa--kind of scary that we are nearly at the same place 100 years later.

Mad props to the 1912 cartoonist that knew who Stalin was.

I looks like the Copyright on the cartoon is 1934. That would make more since as the Revolution did not take place until 1917. Prior--Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili (Stalin's birth name) was in and out of Siberia escaping multiple times. He eventually changed his name to Stalin, which is the Russian word for steel. He became the General Secretary of the Communist Party in ~1922, but did not have any real power until Lenin's death in 1924.

Back to historical political cartoons.

And this morning at 07:00 CDT, the History Channel put on a program about the French Revolution, which ended with Louie and Antoinette losing their heads to the Guillotine.

Makes one think, doesn't it.
