Here are several posters that “showed” Soviet people the difference between socialism and capitalism.

About 20 millions of American people don’t have enough money to buy more than 1 liter of milk per month and 6 kg of meat per year.

They have plenty of goods for rich people only, and we are going to give goods to all the people.

Who has the national income?

Exploiters have the majority of it in capitalistic countries.

Working people – in USSR.

In the countries of capitalism – the violation of working people rights

In the countries of socialism – the right to work

In the countries of capitalism – the path of the talent…

In the countries of socialism – the path to the talent!
