毛主席语录

The poster features a red band at the top with yellow characters that read "毛主席语录" (Quotations from Chairman Mao). Below it is a quote in black: "人民靠我们去组织。中国的反动分子，靠我们组织起人民去把他打倒。" This translates to: "The people rely on us to organize. As for the reactionaries in China, we must rely on the people we organize to overthrow them." The text is sourced from 《抗日战争胜利后的时局和我们的方针》 (The Situation and Our Policy After the Victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan). The lower half of the poster shows four figures which include a worker, a peasant, a soldier, and a youth standing shoulder to shoulder. The worker wears a yellow shirt, a light jacket, and goggles on his forehead, holding a copy of "毛泽东选集" (Mao's Selected Works). His red armband reads "无产阶级革命" (Proletarian Revolution). Next to him is a peasant in a dark tunic with a white towel wrapped around his head. He wears a Mao badge, and his red armband reads "革命造反" (Revolution--Rebel). Next is a soldier in a green uniform with a red-star cap and a rifle with a bayonet. On the far right is a Red Guard in a blue jacket with a satchel slung across his body, a Mao badge on his chest, and a red armband reading "红卫兵" (Red Guards). Their giant fists press down on several tiny figures, which represent the "enemies" mentioned in the quote. In the background on both sides, crowds of people march with red flags.
