IIRC, Diego Rivera frescoed some of Rockefeller Center.
When Nelson Rockefeller found out he snuck Lenin into one of the murals, he had it plastered over.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but I work with a fella named "Craig" but his parents are both Chinese immigrants, and every time I hear his name, I feel micro-agressed and want to strike out with great vengeance and furious anger. How dare they/he appropriate something from my culture!
That's copacetic right now, isn't it?

She’s also handicapped, a “brow-clopse”.

Have no idea, who Frida Kahlo is/was, but this is what is important to Harvard students now?
Early 20th cent. Mexican artist. Sad life. Hated gringos, IIRC, but took their money. And a commie.

Pretty sure she was married to famed muralist Diego Rivera (if it’s Jeopardy and it’s murals, it’s him!)….Yes she was.

They were both big commies, but even that is not enough anymore, as you see. One must be a commie of color…Apparently they weren’t the right kind of commies!

Additionally it also has a great cast. The director rounded up a lot of big names for small parts. For whatever reason….

And you can yell at him for turning on the lights. Or driving a car. Yours, not his!

LOL! How do you tell the bride at a Sicilian wedding?
She’s the one with the shaved armpits.

Suspected of being involved, but I don’t think anything was proven. She idolized Stalin. That should be pointed out as often as possible to her fans.
To: FreedomForce
But if she idolized Stalin, why was she letting Trotsky live with her?
To: nickcarraway
Because she was a Trotskyite before she became a Stalinist.
To: DallasBiff
She was a mediocre artist who was also a communist.
