The poster names the Revolutionary Communist Party and its chairman, Bob Avakian, and presents them as targets of a government attack. The party grew out of the Revolutionary Union, a Maoist group that formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1970s, and Avakian was among its most prominent public figures. The poster's language of defiance reflects the suspicion many leftist groups held toward federal surveillance and prosecution, which had been widely documented after the 1960s. The catalog dates the piece only approximately, so its exact date and circulation remain uncertain.
