Election poster from the PvdA (Dutch Labour Party) with the picture of Joop den Uyl. Johannes Marten (Joop) den Uijl (1919-1987) was a Dutch politician of the Labor Party (PvdA). From 1973 to 1977 he was Prime Minister of the Netherlands. His surname was officially ‘Den Uijl’, but he always used ‘Den Uyl’. Den Uyl, who came from a Reformed family and previously worked as a civil servant and journalist, managed the scientific bureau of the PvdA from 1949. He entered the House of Representatives in 1956 through the Amsterdam city council. After being a councilor in Amsterdam, he served in the Cals cabinet (1965-1966) as Minister of Economic Affairs. He gained his greatest fame afterwards: first as leader of the political group, progressive opposition leader and prime minister of his own shadow cabinet, then as prime minister after the 1972 parliamentary elections. The Den Uyl cabinet (1973-1977) had a large parliamentary majority and was the most progressive cabinet in parliamentary history. The cabinet tried to combat what he believed to be inequality by means of government investments, tax measures and expansion of social services, but had to limit expenditure from 1975 due to economic headwinds. At the same time, as prime minister, Den Uyl had to deal with the 1973 oil crisis (which led to the introduction of the car-free Sunday), the Lockheed affair, the Menten case and the Surinamese independence. The cabinet fell prematurely due to the cabinet crisis over land policy.

His desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States. prompted his involvement in Guatemala’s social reforms. Later in Mexico City, Guevara met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht Granma with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second in command and played a pivotal role in the victorious two-year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.

Rare and lovely poster dated 1955 by István Czeglédi, from the Socialist Realist period. The posters of Czegledi are very sought after and goes for hundreds of euro’s. This poster has been touched by time, so it has a rasonable price. This poster is rare because of the Arabic language version. The poster displays the flags of the participating nations which are arranged in a flower, on top there is a colorful crowd of three young people from different countries in outfits typical of their culture. The advertisment was designed by Hungarian I.Czegledi but was printed in Germany (DDR) in various languages. This one is in arabic language inviting for the: „World festival of Youth and Students for peace and friendship Warsaw 14 July-14 August 1955.”. The slogan “for Peace and Friendship” was very typical for socialist campaigns. During the Cold War period, the socialist countries called themselves “the defenders of peace” whereas they considered the West to be the agressive world which supports war thus making the contrast between the ‘good’ (East) and the ‘evil’ (West) even bigger. The 5th World Festival of Youth and Students was held in Warsaw from July 31 to August 15 1955. The festival was to prove the superiority of socialism over capitalism. Thousands of young guests from all over the world came to Warsaw, including capitalist and Third World countries. For them it was an opportunity to get to know life behind the “Iron Curtain”, for Varsovians an opportunity to meet people from countries inaccessible to the citizens of People’s Poland. Istvan Czegledi (1913-1995) designed his first known printed posters with Janos Sebes in the 1930’s, they worked together during this time. Czegledi worked during the late 1940’s and adopted the social realist style in the 1950’s. Most of his designs of this period show the strong influence of Soviet poster art. He worked together with Tibor Bánhegyi on many poster designs. Most of his posters were made for state propaganda.In the 1960’s Czeglédi’s style changed again, and he started to create modern compositions. He designed a lot of travel safety posters, often using the techniques (photomontage) the colours (red, black and white), and typical compositional tools of the classic Avant-garde.

Unigue Propagandaworld fridge magnet with space dog Laika. Only available on Propagandaworld! Laika was a Soviet space dog who became the first animal in space, and the first animal to orbit the Earth. Laika, a stray mongrel from the streets of Moscow, was selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space in 1957. Soviet scientists chose to use Moscow straydogs since they assumed that such animals had already learned to endure conditions of extreme cold and hunger. Little was known about the impact of spaceflight on living creatures at the time of Laika’s mission. Some scientists believed humans would be unable to survive the launch or the conditions of outer space, so engineers viewed flights by animals as a necessary precursor to human missions. The experiment aimed to prove that a living passenger could survive being launched into orbit paving the way for human spaceflight and providing scientists with some of the first data on how living organisms react to spaceflight environments.

Book published in North Korea in 1974. This book once belonged to Andries Oele. Inside the books you’ll find the signature of him. Oele was a well-known and notorious radical Maoist in the 1970’s in the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He always stood out by standing at the back of a hall at meetings and public gatherings (such as May 1 celebrations) and shouting his slogans (“Death to capital! Long live Marxism-Leninism! Long live Chairman Mao!”). While the many small communist splinter groups were happy with any soul they could recruit, they would rather lose Andries than get rich. Nevertheless he was a member of KORO (Communist Organization Rotterdam and Surroundings). Andries Oele worked in construction so the left-wing intellectual Rotterdam got some appreciation for this: a real worker, after all. In 1977 Oele was caught in bed with someone’s wife. Her deceived husband immediately took a gun and shot both Andries and his own wife. A double murder. A Dutch Maoist publisher was asked to clean out Oele’s house. Behind the frontdoor he found a wonderful house that had been completely renovated as if it were a ship’s cabin. You had to duck to go inside and could look through portholes to other dark spaces. He collected all Oele’s books, almost entirely Marxist-Leninist works and works by old Dutch socialists, such as Troelstra and Domela Nieuwenhuis.

Old book from China with some of the selected works of Mao Zedong. Probably made in the 1960’s or early 1970’s. One chapter is from Mao’s report on the investigation of the peasant movement in Hunan province. Strange not to include that in its entirety since it’s not only one of Mao’s most well known, but also greatest texts. Strange edition too: some of the characters are simplified, some are still left traditional, probably edited and printed in the sixties while the simplification movement was still going on. It is a rather unique book. The book is used by somebody who probably studied the book. The are some notes inside the book and some texts are underlined. A great time document.
Button from The Netherlands made around 1980. The text on the button reads:”Ford Must Stay”. The results of the Ford factory in Amsterdam were good except during the Second World War and in 1957. However, from the 1970s onwards the factory started to run at a loss and when the results were again poor in 1979 and 1980 it was decided to close. Ford’s management wanted to transfer production to the factory in Genk (Belgium) because absenteeism and the number of hours on strike were lower at Ford Genk. This threatened to lose 1,650 jobs in Amsterdam. Despite fierce resistance, with workers occupying the factory twice, in April and June 1981, and political pressure, the Dutch Minister of Economic was not willing to help financially, partly as a result of which the management of Ford stuck to the closing decision. The last Ford car was built by Amsterdam Assembly in November 1981. After the closure of the factory, the buildings were demolished. The sales activities of Ford Netherlands moved to the center of Amsterdam.

A number of CPN leaders such as Marcus Bakker, Henk Hoekstra and Joop Wolff were directors of the ANJV in their early years. Other leaders were Rinus Haks and Han de Leeuw. The ANJV magazine was called Youth. From the mid-nineties of the twentieth century, the ANJV consisted only of the Amsterdam department. In 2012 it dissolved into another left political organisation.
