“The two greatest obstacles to democracy are, first, the delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich lest we get it.” Father Edward Dowling (1898-1960) Link to art here: www.rlmartstudio.com/product/the-...

A poster depicting three illustrations, from top to bottom. On top, five whote people in business clothes carry in their hands a fancy vehicle, a briefcase, a private jet, and two large stately buildings, with worried expressions on their faces. The second illustration, in the middle vertically, is of a line of five riot police holding shields. Lastly, the illustration on bottom shows a multiracial crowd of regular people going about their day as if on a crowded city street. One talks on her phone, while another carries a basket and another reads the newspaper. In between all the illustrations is the quote (handwritten in red) attributed to Father Edward Dowling, Editor and Priest, 1941: “The two greatest obstacles to democracy are, first, the delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich lest we get it.”

Dark background with black, white, green and red poster, with white text underneath that reads "Ricardo Levins Morales Art Studio".
A whimsical scratchboard/woodcut-style image with black ink illustrations, red block lettering and green highlights. In red across the page are the words "Capitalism is not healthy for children and other living things." In and around the words, are scenes such as fighter jets taking off into the sky; a line of cars with a supermodel, fast food meals strewn about, a set of handcuffs, and a television protruding into the air dispalying the word "BUY!" in green. The anthropomorphic TV holds an alcoholic drink in one hand and a gun in the other.
