Yes I read theory, on communists with dogs dot tumblr dot com
From that same blog:
We have all seen the pictures of Lenin with cats, but what hasn’t been noticed is that the cats Lenin is holding are always in an ambiguously subdued position. Isn’t the feline thus symbolic for the bourgeoisie? Arrogant, egotistical and it needs to be subdued.
Dogs on the other hand don’t need submission. Dogs are in a dialectical relationship with the subaltern classes as loyal partners in the struggle against bourgeois hegemony and catpitalism.
LMAO now THIS is theory
