This is the analysis of Communism, made in a form of religious Iconostasis. It is one of my own artistic work, which i did for myself as the main focal point of my artistic interest and poetics, it is the analysis of the political systems, world history and leaders, and the resulting consequences of their actions towards their subjects, the people and civilization, which are ultimately bad and evil. The central point for completely understanding my work is the character of the politician, which is an archetype of evil. It is made by watercolors, ink and acrylic on paper, 66x84 cm (drawing itself, the paper is somewhat larger). It is glued to a cardboard, framed and put behind protective glass.

This is absolutely marvelous, I love the red and white armies as crash test dummies too. I'm surprised you're not getting a lot of feed back on this, I would totally hang this up over a fireplace, or somewhere where it would be in the spotlight. I LOVE this.

So Marx and Engels had a valid theory and almost everyone following in their footsteps corrupted it and used it as an excuse to propagate evil and gather wealth. How am I doing so far? :?

Also, was Trotsky left out for any particular reason, or am I readin into that too much?

Well, in theory everything can work :) As for me, i am from one of those former Communist-socialist countries, where i got to see first handily how that system operates. Frankly, It had many positive sides- free medical and education etc.- and also quite many bad ones. But to tell the truth, it didn't have the chance against the capitalism, because it had to compete with it in a battle where it couldn't possibly win- in the market-orientated economy, where capitalism will always win. The real, down-to-the-book communism was never implemented anywhere in the world, all we know from history are the corrupted versions of it.

At present state, the best model is possibly the one used in Scandinavian countries, which is a mix of state regulated capitalism with strong socialist core, regarding the medical care, employment, pensions etc. In recent time i have started exploring the possibility of Resource economy presented in Zeitgeist, which may have bright future- though i am very careful and cautious in my predictions.

As for Trotsky, i tried to make the analysis concentrating on the most popular and known persons in this analysis- and sadly most people just don't know who the Trotsky was. Plus, i didn't want to overcrowd the paper, which is the main reason :)
