The Law is a Weapon in the Hands of the Ruling Class
The Law is a Weapon in the Hands of the Ruling Class to Maintain their Privilege by Radical Poster Collective, 2025
If you fight you might lose, but if you don't fight you'll certainly lose
In September 2025, during the Gaza Genocide, the UK Government declared 'Palestine Action' a proscribed terrorist organisation and started to arrest anyone who declared support for the organisation. During demonstrations in London, hundreds of people were arrested for holding a sign saying: "I oppose genocide; I support Palestine Action", with a potential sentence of up to 14 years in prison.
'Graffiti artist' Banksy painted a mural on the Royal Courts of Justice, depicting a judge, in a wig, beating a protestor with a gavel. The attempt to clean the mural left a silhouette that was even more effective.
We used the image of the 'cleaned up' graffiti and added what we think are appropriate words - a quote from Emma Goldman at the top, and the slogan: "If you fight you might lose, but if you don't fight you'll certainly lose" across the bottom.
The Radical Poster Collective is dedicated to making good quality classic radical posters available at an affordable price.
Our posters are either digitally cleaned up to remove tears or stains etc, or completely recreated to be as close as possible to the original.
This is our own design using a photograph of the Banksy graffiti on the wall at the Royal Courts of Justice.
We do not have printed copies of this poster. It is just exhibited on our website.
