Excuse me, but two others posted that they felt some of these posters are creepy. So why is my comment a problem? As well executed as they are artistically--admittedly most are done in a very rigid childrens' book manner to appeal to peasants, they are still propaganda posters for a corrupt regime.

I like Mausers and Luger's, but I don't go ga-ga over Nazi posters that depict them. All I meant by my comment you can expect to see more the same here if either candidate wins. Don't be surprised in your lifetime if you see a poster of smiling FEMA JBT's holding M4's as they wave to a group of school children walking by.

The post is about AK rifles in Chinese propaganda postersNOT about commentary on contemporary US politics.  No connection..., :shock: :(

Crap - I just noticed the last photo I posted is probably more of an SKS than an AK.  Totally missed seeing that before.
