Workers Criticizing Lin Biao and Confucius (Gongnongbin shi pi Lin pi Kong de zhulijun 工农兵是批林批孔主力军)

Propaganda posters, too, praise workers, peasants and soldiers as the backbone of the campaign against Lin Biao and Confucius. This one shows a group of workers just putting finishing touches on the slogan “Workers, peasants and soldiers are the key detachment in the critique of Lin Biao and Confucius” which has been painted, in large characters, on the wall of their factory. Others in this image, are seen going off in swarms, with paper and poles in hand, energetically walking towards the viewer, quite obviously to put up even more posters and slogans outside while crowds are seen in the back, reading what has been posted on the walls.
