Poster - Class War - We Have Found New Homes for the Rich

Class War - We Have Found New Homes for the Rich, 1985.

Class War, an anarchist organization founded in the early 1980s, gained notoriety for its provocative tactics and self-titled newspaper, Class War, subtitled Britain's Most Unruly Tabloid. The newspaper reported on acts of violence against the police and the wealthy, while the group organized shocking activities such as disrupting elite events like the Henley Regatta. These actions were intended to challenge class inequality and provoke a reaction from the establishment. The group’s tactics highlighted the deep class tensions in Thatcher-era Britain. During the 1984 Miners' Strike, Class War advocated for opening a 'second front' by mobilizing working-class communities on estates across the country. This was intended to divert Government and police resources away from attacks on the striking miners. Class War’s legacy and influence can be seen in later anti-capitalist and anarchist movements, underscoring their role in the history of British radical politics.

This poster is based on the front cover of an issue of Class War. The size is A3 (approx. 11.7" x 16.5") and is printed on good quality 170gm poster paper.
