jeremy corbyn

I found this photo posted by 'the economist' on instagram of Jeremy Corbyn:

This is pretty much exactly like this piece of propaganda of Lenin:

I think it is interesting that they are comparing Corbyn to Lenin, in the comment section on instagram lots of people are complaining that its promoting communism and is 'Stalin-esque' but although Corbyn has said he admires the views of Karl Marx, I think this illustration is showing him more like a revolutionary figure. At the moment all the politicians sort of blend into one with their look and their views but Corbyn has come in looking a bit rougher than the others and being so much more left-wing than labour politicians have been recently and is shaking everything up a bit, which is what Lenin did when he began - he was different to what Russia was used to.
