They had it, goddammit. They had it
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
The idea of regional athletic competition makes a LOT more sense under communism. If the leftie-future we all want, all the human demigods from across the lands trying to see who is best just seems like a thing people would do. Sports as profession, pastime, and spectacle all in general make so much more sense to me under communism.

and they had Pride flags back in 1980 wow
Here’s a poster. Making europe into a derailleur is funny.
Don’t think those are pride flags. Don’t think they’re flags at all. And the colors are wrong.
And I don’t speak from personal experience, but I doubt the USSR in the eighties were very pro lgbt, because no country was back then.You’re no fun. Next you are going to tell me Europe is a fixie.
Much more hopeful times

I must know more about the flags in the first picture. What is the white and blue flag? What is the blue flag? The red and white?
If you mean the ones in the back and to the right, I’ll have to look up the Olympic event itself and find out

Yes. Those. I have tried to look up stuff myself but I couldn’t figure it out.

Wait, is that picture actually from the 1980 Olympic? I certainly don’t think it’s from the
opening ceremony atLenin Stadium.
Look up flags of the SSRs

Nope. All those in the front are the SSRs. But the three in the back I’m looking for? Not one of them.
They appear to be Soviet military flags but I’m having trouble pinpointing them
Soviet kids born in the 30’s won the best birth lottery ever
Seeing images like this actually makes me really sad, there could be another timeline where socialism won and we would all be doing arts and science and curing cancer and shit today… Instead we’re getting poorer while material conditions improve and get to watch live coverage of a genocide 24/7

Big from me, mate
Yeah I didn’t think that through totally lol… I’ll correct it to like the 50’s
That human tower is impressive
