From ChinesePosters.net:   Designer: Revolutionary Committee of Tianjin Industrial Exhibition Hall (天津市工业展览馆革命委员会) 1971, February Turn philosophy into a sharp weapon in the hands of the masses Rang zhexue bian wei qunzhong shoulide jianrui wuqi (让哲学变为群众手里的尖锐武器) Tianjin renmin meishu chubanshe (天津人民美术出版社), print no. 8073.10101 Call number: BG E13/857 (Landsberger collection) The power of the word, and in particular Mao Zedong's words, is clearly illustrated in this impressive design. The nuclear mushroom cloud can indicate two things: Mao Zedong Thought is like a spiritual atom bomb, as the slogan went, or, thanks to Mao Zedong Thought, China has been able to develop its own nuclear device.
