Valentine’s Day is upon us, comrades! Get ready to unveil your banquets of roses, chocolate, and plans for a romantic evening if you haven’t already.

Are you tired of radical feminists hijacking this holiday with their grotesque Vagina Monologues play? Are you tired of people undermining life-long love? Are you determined to truly communicate your love for someone this year? If yes, then you’re not alone! 2013 will be the year we take back Valentine’s Day from those who wish to undermine it.

As Viral Read’s token anti-communist, I propose celebrating love this Valentine’s Day with Historical Valentine’s Day Grams. Artist Ben Kling’s collection of e-cards showcasing dictators, intellectual figures, and pop icons has recently taken the Internet by storm. Typical e-cards featuring Karl Marx and Mao Zedong read, “Roses are red so is the state. Let us be comrades because you are great” and “You are most honorable chairman of my heart,” respectively.

Whether you have a betrothed or are still looking for “the one,” celebrate your love for freedom with these e-cards. Happy lovin’!
