Description
Angel at right holding lit torch left hand and blowing trumpet from which banner hangs reading "SOCIALISM." A man with shovel and pick lies unconcious on ground at left - his shirt reads "LABOUR." A huge bat sits on him, biting into his chest - its back read "CAPITALISM." Its right wing reads "RELIGIOUS HYPOCRISY" and its left wing reads "PARTY POLITICS."
