    Maybe it’s just my narrow perception but, it seems to me that most of the class war illustrations are old. I know the class war has been going on forever but, why aren’t more modern illustrations as popular?

      Part of the value in showing the old illustrations is to show that we are a part of a centuries-long struggle against Capitalism, and a thousands of years long struggle against Class society. Plus, the Soviet Union made tons of these, and it’s no longer here. There are modern artists, but these draw the reader into a connection with our predecessors.

      The old ones have their appeal, but I found a couple new ones. Maybe people prefer the older drawings to newer ones because the newer ones could be AI.

          No prob. The 3rd one was a pre-internet older meme though. I reread what I said and it wasn’t clear that the 3rd one was an older one. I tend to overthink sometimes.
