Description
White poster with a red border- image in the centre of theposter. Shows a skeleton drawing of a face with bones underneath making a cross. The skull is wearing black sunglasses and a large black hat. There is black text underneath, its translation from Italian to English reads, "the black plot is international, Behind the Italian fascists, the greek colonels, the American CIA, their subsidies, their agents, CIA: the enemy at home." This cartoon is arguing that the CIA and America are behind much of the fascism and conflct in Italy, and across the world. The "black plot" could be referring to the political violence in the 1980s - there were arguments that the MSI, the Italian Social movement, were in contavt with some sectors of "Terrorism nero", which translates to "black terrorism" -this is motivated by right wing ideologies, most prominently by neo-Nazism, neo-fascism, ecofascism, white nationalism, white separatism, ethnonationalism and religious nationalism. This poster is in good
condition.
