Mussolini Advocates Class Cooperation

Why don’t the proletarian and bourgeois classes work together? Unmoderated Think about how much could be solved if we just put aside our differences and worked on helping the world. Why is class conflict supposed to be inevitable? With the labor power of the proletariats and the financial backing of the bourgeoisie we would be unstoppable! So many possibilities for humankind! I ask all capitalists to forgive the communists. And I ask all communists to forgive the capitalists. Now let’s get to work.

A black-and-white portrait of Benito Mussolini in a military-style uniform appears beneath a large speech bubble advocating cooperation between proletarians, bourgeoisie, communists, and capitalists. The joke comes from the seemingly conciliatory, idealistic message being delivered by a fascist dictator, creating an absurd contrast between the text and the speaker. It is used as an ironic reaction to naive calls for everyone to set aside political and class differences.
