  What's your point?

    I guess don’t make murderous regime slogans into kitchenware and sell it like novelty items.

      If “all for life; all for wife” sounds murderous to you, definitely don’t buy them. Also I would reconsider our marriage.

  Can you think of any reasons why the ideals of fascism are less popular than the ideals of communism?

I used to collect KMFDM and Laibach albums, which was about the same thing, art-wise. Probably contained less lead and carcinogens.

I like that new word, "nolgastic." It's like a mix of nostalgic and ghastly.

  Really trying to avoid being accused of writing an advertorial here… But you can ask any friend from China to find you one. If you don’t have a friend from China, you can go to taobao.com and search for 搪瓷杯. Not sure how the site would render in your region, though.

I have a legit Lomonosov tea cup and saucer that sports a "Made In USSR" marking on the bottom. It is somewhat nice... Totally late stage communist, though...

Besides the decoration, notice how all the Chinese style mugs have lids on them, and the "English style" ones don't. This seems to be a Southeast Asian thing, also seen for eg. in Korea.

  Keeps it hot for longer. In UK we don't have them but it's considered bad manners to let your tea go cold.
