The spectre of communism is a spooky skeleton wearing a sash that says “communism” on it and carrying a manifesto of objectively good things capitalists don’t like.
Oh! This one!
Yep. IIRC there’s several variations on that too: it was a pretty common trope in reactionary political cartoons from the 19th onwards to just portray communists as skeletons. It’s literally the spectre of communism that lives rent free in their heads lmao.
Hell yeah!
Skeletons are cool as hell! They’re the zombies who have been around long enough to be chill with their condition. Always dancing and capering around, providing easy fantasy enemies. Skeletons are the most fun loving of all the Haloween Monsters. Just bone throwing, vaudeville cane and hat dancing, Argonauts fighting guys. They pose a question lying dormant in the darkest fear of human thought, what if your bones were allowed to do whatever they felt like?
Is… Is that supposed to be anti communist? It just makes us look cool.
Might even be better than the cute Soviet Bears and utterly adorable “China as a panda bear” thing, and on the same level as modern stuff portraying China as a fire breathing red dragon.
I have yet to see a piece of anti communist propaganda that doesnt make us look at least a bit cool if not really fucking cool
It really does seem that the Western ghouls making that crap really cannot manage to not make us look either cool… or huggable. Soviet Bear junk is stupidly hug shaped. But that’s one thing, making us look cool, you’d think that was harder to do accidentally than making us look cuddly, but somehow “Comrade Cuddles” pales in comparison to how often they depict us as just something absolutely badass.
They want people to be afraid of us, so cuddly isn’t usually the aim
See, then you’d expect them to not depict us as a particularly hug shaped animal. And yet, they drew the Soviet Union as a far too fluffy and cute grizzly bear for its entire existence, and drew China as a panda for almost as long (and they still sometimes draw China as a hug shaped panda, when a very boopable and cute red dragon doesn’t fit the overall composition of the poster they’re making).
Try to draw a scary bear, get something hug shaped. That’s just how it is.
Sometimes, they draw a roaring bear in such a way that we look both terrifyingly cool and insanely cuddle shaped. Those are my favourite. I wanna hug the Soviet Bear knowing full well she could eat me, but would rather eat capitalist pigs. Lol.
lol. not that.
Do you look enough like Stalin that you could wear a halo and piss off a bunch of libs?
I can’t pull off Stalin, but I do typically dress up as Lenin if I can’t get any better planned costume together in time. I’ve got the hat kicking around, after all, and I’m probably going to wear the whole costume again on the anniversary of the October Revolution. (It gets too hot to wear my ushanka in summer, so I need a different commie symbol that goes with every outfit.) Doesn’t piss off as many libs, unfortunately.
one idea
another one would be a red version of the “Scream” ghost costume, and carry
maybe swap the face mask to one that is Marx or Lenin or Stalin or something like that
Be a very confused Santa Clause, bring a bag of candy to give out to the people answering the doors.
Ushanka
Hammer in one hand, sickle in the other
Set up some sort of portable speaker so that it sounds like a ghostly choir is singing Red Army anthems
Every October, PMC western “leftists” adorn their settler compounds with images of the macabre to sate their death fixation and dress their children up as crypto-fash Marvel terrorists who descend upon the community begging for tasty treats.
This year I will be educating these PMC spawns by putting tiny copies of SETTLERS in their treat baskets!

Idk I think it looks good as-is. Does the KKK wear red like that? They don’t get to have a monopoly on shitty bedsheet masks.
But also like FlakesBongler said, grab a Ushanka cos that would be cool.
Its similar enough that your average halloween goer would probably think KKK before Ghost of Communism, especially at night
kkk robes
Yeah, some do. I think its like the cultists in re4 where the ones wearing red have more hit points
So there is a hierarchy in the KKK and I believe one of the higher positions wears a red outfit
Looked it up and it’s the grand dragon or something
