It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

I.V. Dzhugashvili, my favorite Georgian philosopher and political activist.

I also like this photo:

An edit would go hard, I think, but you still gotta let people know it's actually Stalin, otherwise they think we are trying to trick people rather than demystify him.

What about including his name like this? Would still show his name, while they do not get into preconceived notions in first sight:

Would be good for mobile users. Computer users would need to use rotate option in image viewer or editor

Kinda needs a reveal, not just to be on the meme IMO
