Oblong 16mo. 24pp. Each page shows a political illustration by Bidstrup, with accompanying text crafted to provoke the reader, however young or old, toward protest, resistance, and activism. The targets of Bidstrup's frustrations include the specific institutions of capitalist Western nations, the police, the Ku Klux Klan, and the military, as well as systems of colonialism, neoliberalism, racism, and fascism. Of particular concern is the atomic bomb, and Bidstrup speaks particularly vehemently against world leaders who collude in its weaponization. At the interior of the front cover is a brief editioral statement, which notes Bidstrup as an Internacional Lenin Peace Prize Winner, and gives permission to reprint any of the illustrations - certainly an example of grassroots dissemination and organization. Staple-bound in pictorial wrappers. Some toning to covers, mild rubbing, else near fine. Quite rare, with only one copy recorded in OCLC.
