About The Poster: This is a colorful political poster made of three panels promoting Izquierda Cristiana. The main slogan calls for support within the Central Única de Trabajadores. The left panel criticizes bureaucracy, division among workers, and alliances with the bourgeoisie. The center highlights social goals like jobs, workers’ participation, women’s rights, and children’s equality, illustrated by a family. The right panel focuses on agrarian reform and rural life, shown through a vibrant farming scene.
This poster comes from the turbulent political climate of Chile in the early 1970s, during the presidency of Salvador Allende. His left-wing coalition, Unidad Popular, sought to build a peaceful transition to socialism through reforms like nationalization of industries and agrarian reform. Groups such as Izquierda Cristiana supported these changes while emphasizing social justice from a Christian perspective.
