Unit 4 - Rejecting Liberalism

Rejecting Liberalism 

The Capital and the Capitalist   
by V. Polonski, 1925

The Soviet communist artist is
being highly critical of the
individualism of liberalism.
The capitalist is shown as fat and
greedy, grasping at his pile of gold
coins, wealth made on the backs of
workers. Behind him, he spreads a spider
web (spiders being considered evil)
over factories, which represents his control
over the means of production. The smoke
from the factories hovers as dark clouds,
making the capitalist seem oppressive.
