American society is up in flames right now, for a myriad of reasons. We're not saying we think you should join the revolution, but we're not telling you not to. Anyway, here are 20 communist memes that'll get you into that revolutionary spirit. Do with that what you will.

We have to give the disclaimer that these memes will really only make sense to you if you're Slavic or have spent time in Eastern Europe. But either way, they may make you crave some cabbage rolls and borscht.
And if you want some even more specific memes, check out these South Slavic memes we threw together for you!
Let's face it, unless you're a historian none of us really know enough about history because a.) we didn't really pay much attention in high school history class, and b.) high school teachers didn't exactly give us a great rundown of the entire world (where was African history?). As is such, please enjoy these educational memes (and then these afterward) that we think you're gonna like.
If you're of Eastern European heritage, then we're betting that at least some of these memes will make sense to you. Occasionally stereotypes do exist for a reason, after all.
Okay, all of this talk about Eastern Europe has us craving some cabbage rolls and potato pancakes now. Please and thank you.
Whenever any old person complains about how life today is "so violent" or that this generation is "going downhill," all you have to do is show them a few of these memes, which show how incredibly f*cked up people were in the past. Like, damn, at least we don't burn people at the stake for being witches anymore!
You could say that these memes are full of...red flags. Ba-dum-tss. You think that pun is lame? Well So-vi-et.
But seriously though, is anyone else here a huge nerd for the Cold War era like we are? Whether you're a capitalist or a communist, it's safe to say that we can all come together to laugh over these hilarious memes!
There's really only so much one can take of reading through boring historytextbooks for hours on end. At some point you just stop retaining any information and your mind wanders to what you're planning to eat for dinner. Instead of enduring that crippling boredom, browse through these history memes for some added comedy!
Instead of sitting through a boring high school history class, why not browse through these educational memes? Who's ever really learned anything by reading boring-ass textbooks, anyway? That being said, we do recommend that you pay attention in your history class so that we can't be held accountable if you fail your tests...
It's true what they say - history does tend to repeat itself. If you want to freshen up on your historical knowledge and make sure that history indeed does not repeat itself, then perhaps take a little scroll through these memes. We promise they're a lot better than sitting in class!
Let's face it, history class is really boring. Who wants to learn by reading out of a boring-a** textbook? And beside, chances are you probably won't remember anything you read after the exam is over anyway. History memes serve as a fun way to cram that historical knowledge into your noggin.
Russia is undoubtedly a fascinating place to a Westerner - their loose drinking laws, Gopnikculture, and track suits galore can seem baffling to many. Granted, these memes are an exaggeration of actual Russian culture, but we think you'll find these amusing regardless!
