I'm not sure such posters need much translation: just the usual exhortations to work harder for the glorious Soviet motherland no doubt. About as subtle as an image of a man with a cheesy grin holding a toothbrush. It could be in Finnish, Mongolian, or Urdu, but you'd still know it was trying to sell you toothpaste. Modern capitalist propaganda ('advertising') tends to be a little more subtle at times, but essentially the objective is the same. Convince the proles that the path to happiness can be found by doing what they are told.

"A further increase in wages should go as far as growth and development of the socialist economy by increasing the productivity of labor as a factor of well-being of the working class..."

AndyJWest I thought so that it was saying something like that,but I wanted to know the exact words."Convince the proles that the path to happiness can be found by doing what they are told. "Harsh but most of the times true.
