The design comes from a legendary political cartoon from 1911 that's an American cartoon caricature critical of capitalism copied from a Russian flyer from 1901. It depicts the capitalist system as a social pyramid with peasants and workers at the bottom ("We work for all", "we feed all"), the bourgeoisie above them ("We eat for you"), the military above them ("We shoot at you"), the clergy above them ("We fool you"), royalty and state leaders above them ("We rule you"), and finally a money bag at the top representing capital as the ruler of all. This design has been redrawn, recolored, remastered, and digitized by me. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/

"What did you tell that man just now" "I told him to work faster!" "How much do you pay him?" "$25.00 a day" "Where do you get the money to pay him?" "I sell products" "Who makes the products?" "He does" "How many products does he make in one day?" "$100.00 worth" "Then instead of you paying him -- He is paying you $75.00 a day to tell him to work faster!" "Huh? But the machines belong to me-" "How did you get the machines?" "I sold products and bought them" "-- and who made THOSE products?" "Shut up -- he might hear you!"

War, class, sexism, and racism are all tools that capitalism uses to control and divide people.

Organized class-conscious workers are all that's needed to rid the earth of the parasitic capitalist class. This political cartoon was originally from the May 1938 edition of The One Big Union Monthly, a monthly publication by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). I have completely digitized, redrawn, and refinished this work of art, as well as rewritten the text for the sake of legibility - for the sake of preserving and archiving this important piece of labor history. The IWW still exists today, and if this political cartoon still rings true to you, even nearly a century after it's original publishing, you should consider looking up your local IWW chapter.

I have redrawn, restored, and refinished this art in order to preserve this important piece of labor history. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/

From an original Suffragette Bernard Partridge Punch Cartoon of 1908. Can't quite see Corbyn & Farron on the same path! Please note there may be some age related marks from the original which will show also on any print ordered. This is inevitable with prints of this age & actually lends an authentic look to the print in my opinion.
