In 1911, an American socialist poster depicted a striking image known as the "Capitalist Pyramid, " highlighting the unequal distribution of wealth in society. Immerse yourself in the vibrant design of "The Workers May-Pole, " a socialist poster envisioning a future where workers unite and celebrate their collective power. This artwork embodies hope for a more equitable society. Travel to North Korea, Asia, where a painting pays homage to Great Leaders Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung. This glimpse into Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) showcases how socialism has influenced nations across borders. Discover Rosa Luxemburg, an influential figure who fought tirelessly for social justice. Her legacy continues to inspire activists worldwide with her powerful ideas on revolutionizing capitalism from within.

Step back in time to witness history being made at Rochdale, Lancashire in 1844—the birthplace of cooperative shops.
