Down with the Guns!

Ned Med Våbnene! - Down with the Guns! - Norwegian Labour Party, 1914. Appears to have been used as a movie poster for the 1914 film Lay Down Your Arms.

Historically, the Norwegian Labour Party (Arbeiderpartiet) had a strong tradition of pacifism and anti-militarism, particularly in the early 20th century.

Before and during the First World War, the party supported neutrality and initially held anti-militaristic views, although the leadership eventually supported extra funding for the Norwegian military due to the international context. A more radical, anti-militaristic wing within the party and its youth movement was influential during this time.

Workers and peasants worldwide confront shared struggles, primarily exploitation by capitalist forces. Internationalism is not just a choice but a fundamental necessity for any truly radical movement.

Capitalism operates on a global scale, with capitalists pitting populations against one another, shifting production to wherever costs are lowest. This system drives the super-exploitation of natural resources and people in poorer nations, exacerbating the devastating effects of climate change. As a result, millions are left with harrowing choices: face mass starvation or flee their homes in search of survival.

In the face of these challenges, international solidarity is essential. To inspire and unite, we have gathered a collection of radical posters from across the globe, reflecting the shared fight against oppression and inequality.
