    This site has a wonderful collection of beautifully painted images--they really appear to be works of art. I assume the titles of each are essentially translations of the characters on each poster, but I'm not 100% sure.

    The 10th image down is particularly interesting when thinking about the idea of the international communist community coming together.

    This site has propaganda posters specific to Chairman Mao. The titles seem to be translations of the original characters.

    Upon doing some research for my lessons for next year, I was pleased to come across this resource--on Pinterest of all places. I do a lot with propaganda in my class when looking at visual rhetoric. I typically focus on WWII propaganda, but I really like the idea of timing this unit with the US History teacher and focusing on communism, maybe while he's teaching about the Cold War. This collection of propaganda posters (which appear to me to be mostly Chinese and Japanese) will also allow you to access their various urls around the web, as well.

    Thanks for the links, I will definitely have to use the pinterest site for the propaganda. The other links also seem like they are pretty useful. Thanks again.
