“The images of working people fighting each other over toilet paper shouldn’t fill you with feelings of contempt or superiority because you’re not ‘stooping’ to that, it should fill you with a profound sadness at what capitalism can do to people when alienation overwhelms us. A profound sadness, but also a rage at the system that produces this behavior, and a desire to smash it. Don’t laugh at those people. Don’t call them stupid. Instead, think about what you’re doing to build a system in which scarcity is no longer an issue.”

"Solidarity is the Best Medicine"

Poster by Sam Wallman mocking the attitude among conservative Australians toward different national holidays.

The right side of the poster portrays an “ANZAC day” procession. A militarist annual holiday on the 25th of April, which is used by politicians to glorify past imperialist wars, and to drum up support for future imperialist ventures. The official slogan of the holiday is “Lest we forget”.
