"Uniting the World Against American Imperialism: A Glimpse into Anti-American Propaganda" In January 1971, a vibrant and powerful colour litho poster emerged, urging people from all corners of the globe to unite against the American imperialists. This iconic image served as a rallying cry for those who sought to challenge the dominance of the United States on an international scale. Vietnam, Tehran, Libya - these diverse locations became hotspots for anti-American sentiment. In Vietnam, a patriotic poster called upon its citizens to join forces in defeating not only American imperialism but also Soviet revisionists. Meanwhile, in Tehran, striking anti-US propaganda murals adorned the outer walls of what was once the US embassy – a visual reminder of their opposition. The agitation against America extended beyond Asia and the Middle East; it reached Europe too. An illustration from Parlons Francais depicted caricatures highlighting strained Franco-American relations. Similarly, Japan showcased its own anti-American sentiments through colourful lithographs that captured public attention. Even more intriguingly, an anti-US propaganda cartoon published in Krokodil magazine by N. Semenov portrayed Mr Capitalism surrounded by his entourage: racism, banditry, corruption poverty and war – elements believed to be perpetuated by America's influence. Not limited to just one nation or continent's perspective on America's actions abroad; this sentiment resonated across borders during Cold War times as well. Boris Yefimov’s cartoon featured Britain and France being elbowed out of leadership roles within NATO by none other than Uncle Sam himself – symbolizing US dominance over their allies. But perhaps most striking were billboards found on Moscow streets depicting bombs raining down on Uncle Sam while demanding "Aggressors Out of Vietnam. " These chilling images exemplified how deeply ingrained anti-US sentiment had become during this era. Fast forward to present-day concerns such as climate change rallies held worldwide, including London's I Count rally.
