Have You Volunteered? (1920 poster)

Proof that a technique has no politics. During the Russian Civil War, Dmitry Moor took the same pointing finger that Britain and America had used and gave it to a Red Army soldier, rifle in hand, factory chimneys smoking behind him. The Russian word for "You" fills the top corner in red, so the accusation lands before the question is even read. What changes is the setting. Instead of a general or a national symbol, the man pointing is an ordinary soldier, and the factories behind him make the war about a workers' state rather than king or flag. Compare it with Kitchener and Uncle Sam to see how one device can be repainted for a revolution.
