soviet revolutionary textiles

mechanization of the red army
electrification
women harvesting
collectivization
celebrating the navy

young pioneers
tractors
airplanes
the ussr
gears
i already wrote about this once, but i'm not done being infatuated with the political textiles that were produced in the early years of the soviet union. it may have all gone wrong, but at least they believed in something. i despair a little bit that we believe in anything at all anymore. we certainly can't believe in our politicians and institutions. so we might as well believe in fabric.

    I like the idea of believing in fabric! Plus, that fabric is pretty awesome!

    I think they're incredible. They make me want to quilt a protelitarian quilt.

    Comrade:

    We have been monitoring you blog and due to too many decadent Western materialisms you will make yourself available to the local party Committee. You and your family must prepare for reassignment to a Siberian collective. The chickens must remain for the Party Bosses and proletariat.
