A Reddit post called the picture "red fash". I admit that it is controversial, since one may read it as mocking peaceful people who are not muscular, but on the other hand I think it is worthwhile to promote physical strength equally with mental strength and class consciousness. I bet that Specnaz, the special forces of USSR, were not formed from physically weak people. Maybe the picture is seen as a struggle between ideas of the "new left" and AES. What are your thoughts?
You cannot compare images of two parades that served entirely different purposes. The purpose of an LGBTQ+ parade is a political protest against the harm to which queer people are exposed, they are not rigidly organised, and they depend on as many people showing up as possible. The purpose of an athletes' parade is to get kids interested in sport by demonstrating the capabilities of the human body, these parades are painstakingly planned in advance and have a clear distinction between the show and the audience. You could arrive at the reverse result by comparing e.g. a modern bodybuilding show against a May Day parade in the 1940s
