Red is also sexually provocative. Poke google and see if you can turn out some chicks in skimpy red underwear. Blue, on the other hand, is associated with depression and generally feeling down. Blue Mondays, feeling blue. Therefore, commies are smokin' hot and capitalists are all depressed.

That is because worldly lust without inner love is evil.
And inner love really shines in all colours, isn't it? (except in red of course.)

That's because the Commies can't see through the Iron Curtain, and the Capitalists are always going through Depressions and recessions. :p

Socialism is always associated with the colour red, just like war, blood and the devil.
Capitalism is usually associated with the colour blue, just like heaven, peace and god.


Since when god is associated with blue? Maybe you're mixing it with the Virgin Mary (blue and RED, by the way)

And peace is associated with the rainbow flag.

Maybe this is a sign from god! God wants to tell us how bad Socialism is!!!!1111oneoneone
Now what do you think??????

I think that you're being positively nonsensical and silly. I like you.

I think this meanz that it is our heavenly mission to bring the right belief and colour to the world. If we destroy the red, blue will win! God for teh win!

I call you UNAMERICAN for being willing to destroy one-third of the American flag, and I shall release my zombie McCarthy on you!

Why do you hate freedom?


What do you think???!!!11

I hate leet. But I like pizza.
Pizza is red. Which shows us that socialism is good.

Blue shark is blue. Which shows us that capitalism is bad.

This. Does anyone have an answer to this?

Also, how do black being the color of anarchism and white and purple being the colors of royalism figure into this?

Purple's more to do with Empire than mere royalty. Royals get... blue.
And nobility get red (hence the 'red carpet').
And Egyptian Gods get blue and gold.

Colours really are confused as to which side they support.
I know what gay science is.

The same word in Russian that is used for Red, Krasnyah, also means 'beautiful'. In fact, 'Red Square' was known as Red Square long before Lenin was even born.


Nonsense, it is chosen because it represents the blood of the revolutionaries, and is a color which induces action

Also BS - in russian(volapuk encoding) red - KPACHnn' - krasnij
beautiful - KPACnBnn' - krasivij

I really don't like the new Apoc tanks very much. Come up too late in the game. I prefer the Hammer Tank.

Maybe we should take this to a new thread?
