Communism Gives You Justice? Tagalog (poster distributed in Manila)
A Tagalog-language poster with a pen sketch of a dead or bound body lying in tangled wire, under the headline asking whether communism gives justice and the red line 'Ask Hungary'. The tell is fear-appeal with card-stacking: a graphic image of a victim and one example stand in for the whole record of communism. Content note: depicts a corpse.
