Art Young from 1917. Young was prosecuted for "Conspiracy" in 1918. During his trial when asked why he drew anti-war cartoons, Young responded, "For the public good."

We saw this coming almost a year ago🤬‼️💔❣💙

This 1953 political cartoon is titled "In America - At This Restaurant Only One Person Is Served". It was drawn by Yuliy Ganf, a Soviet era Ukrainian-Russian graphic artist and illustrator for the satirical magazine Krokodil.

The only thing different today -- those other four tables don't even exist.

the might of the military machine

No sh!t! This is great! And totally appropos!

We don't learn. Even when one of the Presidents of that same era, the retired Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe warned us about the military industrial complex. We just keep on electing folks buy more weapons, military, and now a Department of War with no regard for soldiers' lives.

Not the 1950s - no need for possessive apostrophe.

So true! Showing Military strength IS what DICTATORS do, NOT a POTUS!

The more things change the more they stay the same

Sums up America perfectly.

trump & his buddies will profit from a war they'd never send their sons or daughters to. But actually djtramp doesn't care if anyone dies, not at all. STOP THIS ILLEGAL WAR. Do anything you can to stop it. PROTEST, RESIST, IMPEACH Mar. 28th No Kings Protest.

Why are we at war with Iran? Operation Epstein Fury! Why haven't all the Trump-Epstein Files been released? Why the coverup? When will the Republicans in Congress grow a spine? Do their job's?

And nothing has changed since that cartoon was published.

Hahaha 😂😂 that's really very nicely saying every things of present scenario. Love you Amber my love my sweetheart 💓. Keep it up.

When will we ever learn?

I see the part in the Constitution where the government is responsible for the military. I’m pretty certain education, arts, healthcare, science is the responsibility of we the people.

I think that illustration is actually from the 1920's. Definitely pre-WWII from the art style.

Indeed!

Great comic so damn true

Release the Epstein Files one hundred percent readable now USA Trump Epstein Gate

What do we learn from that After all? MAKE RESPECT ABILITY GREAT AGAIN MAKE EMPATHY GREAT AGAIN MAKE JUSTICE GREAT AGAIN Trump Merz Blackrock Maga

Yeah, but think of how much we’re saving by keeping the old curtains!

so nothing has improved in the USA ever. sounds like we need progressives and remove everyone that is trying to destroy everyday USA people

There is nothing new under the sun.

Make the helpers #leaders and clean up the world, by removing evil ...

Wow. Nothing has changed. And I thought it had. 😢

> This was created by political cartoonist Yuliy Ganf and ran in the 10 February 1953 issue of Krokodil magazine...

Wow

The Song Remains The Same.

And would you believe this image hasn't been disinterred a single time, since?

Well at least this removes any hope that anything will ever change. So that's nice. Maybe the next civilization will get it right.

Spread the word.

Workers don't exist. Not in 1950, not now.

The military gets a raise every year, even if they don't ask for it. Some things never change.

'Daddy Warbucks' is what we call that orange turd.

Yep, just as Gen. Smedley Butler - who spoke from decades of experience serving in the military and then as a Senator - correctly noted "WAR IS A RACKET".

Spot on

I don't think so, now we have real people fighting a tyrannical islamic regime with a genocidal IRGC pleading for help, not the same. The same regime which funds terrorist groups in Gaza, Lebanon, etc, also aided by communist China and Putler's Russia.

The war machine is going strong for the war mongers in American capitalism...

This is why my trilogy started with an anti-war satire. Rising fascism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on its perils: unjust war; failed democracy; race-based oppression. Get The Antunite Chronicles free at libraries with Libby/Hoopla or at: amazon.com/dp/B0B1JNBCTK?

Always relevant due to our tendency to be an imperialistic country. The trump regime and Republicans are taking it to a whole new level, for sure. The police state, as well. Fits trump’s personality perfectly. And with the added benefit of diverting attention away from Epstein, economy, and voting.

The Real Reason Trump Went to WarTrump has called for sending American forces to Iran since 1980. He finally has, and must own the consequences.www.theatlantic.com

The federal government collected $5.26 trillion in revenue for fiscal year 2025. 50% from individual income taxes, 34% from payroll taxes & 11% from corporate taxes. What do we get for funding 84% of the fed gov't, when the taxes we pay to the states, counties & cities cover schools, fire & police?

Some things never change

This is why every international billionaire needs to be doused with gasoline and set aflame. Get rid of the billionaires, then the wars will stop and most of the world’s problems will go away.

That's great. Thanks

Always $$$$ for war but not for anything that helps Americans.

Lather, rinse, paper over, repeat. 😡

Evergreen, this commentary... As is this:

Ask Trump to give Those money back

This is the worst part of what is happening; Trump is expending our wealth on vanity wars that temporarily assauge his injured ego and incessant worry over the Epstein docs. Every day he needs a shot of addrenaline & he's found it in war. Iran today, Ecuador also, who knows who it'll be tomorrow?

And now business religious charter schools gets taxpayer money.

It will always be true for millenia until WE STOP THIS.

I’ve seen it before and was under the impression it was from the 30’s or 40’s.

Sadly proving that time marches on but not much changes.

Yeah, they still had tables in the fifties.

Billionaires especially defense contractors know it. Politicians also know it when those contractors slip in a few dollars into their pockets. War is EXPENSIVE and there's always a lot of money to be made. Every defense vendor wants to get into the act to feed the war machine.

It just never ends, does it. The selfish rich get richer and the rest of us continue to struggle.

What else can we expect in a world run by the evil lord? Government is the engine of corruption. It has always been this way, and it will always be this way. Cronyism. Anarchists know better. Jesus is very easily argued to be an anarchist.

Perfect cartoon (although it’s not funny), for our “WAR President”, although it’s not funny at all. In his haste to please Netanyahu, he’s gone against everything he ever said about war, and specifically what he said in all of his Pre Presidential speeches. Worst president ever!

ps Chat says; The cartoon was drawn by Yuliy Ganf. • Year: 1953 • Original publication: the Soviet satirical magazine Krokodil • Original title: “In America – At This Restaurant Only One Person Is Served.” 

who is the cartoonist? This is brilliant.

You know it was all funded by the Stalin's Gestapo, right?

Spot on

Indeed

2026 under trump is a repeat

The sad truth that 5-Star General Eisenhower would've agreed completely with this cartoon and yet we didn't listen

Wow - too true ! Where is the progress ?

Things never change.

This is excellent, Amber. 🙏

Need a table with Trump's family that has a truck driving up and dumping a pile of money onto it.

34th President Dwight D. Eisenhower(R) from 1953-1961 said it But today we not only still have a “military industrial complex,” but also the Immigration Gestapo anti-Constitutional Industrial Complex

War: "get me a bucket!"

Still true after all these years!

Gotta feed the MIC. Who knew MAGA supported the MIC.

U.S. policy priorities have not changed in 70 years. Today we see the results of those policy priority decisions

And this one from Tsarist Russia…

The costumes would be different, but you could go back to the Roman Empire and beyond, with a thousand steps along that timeline, and find a similar story at every stop. Most of those conflicts were rooted in the idea that my God is better than your God(s).

This is the plan 👇👇👇

A standing military that attacks unprovoked is colonialism. Cancel it. Have better trained police and police the only people who could be drafted in times of war. And free the sex market. We need every cop to be a stripper and every stripper to be a cop.

The problem is that this never changed

We must continually feed the beast of the military industrial complex. Eisenhower had things to say about this.

please cite the author of the cartoon.

Defund the Military

Thankfully, there is not any anti-semetic dogwhistle to be found in this cartoon 🙄

Yes, and the Stalinist prooaganda it is. Russia still tries to flood us with their s**t 👍🏻

Me too

This was true even 3,000 years ago. Times change, but war monger don't.

😩😭

The irony of this cartoon is that it began as Soviet propaganda — and has since become one of the West’s favorite tools for critiquing its own military spending. The original included text: “In America — At This Restaurant Only One Person Is Served” — published in Krokodil No. 4, 10 Feb 1953.

So since 1950, what is the reason why people vote for same guys that kill our public services ? Broadcasters ? Newspapers ? For sure !

And that’s why a lot of millionaires would give to the arts and sciences. Overtime the moralities began to decline until they figured out oh, we could just run for Office and enrich ourselves.

The problem with this cartoon is that it comes from a Soviet "humor" magazine that regularly included anti-Semitic content. The banker in the upper right corner is a Jewish caricature. Delete this, please.

From the 1930s, actually.

Some things never change.

Raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations to pay for these wars. 2000% tax might make them change their minds in who to support.

History keeps on repeating and it’s disheartening. Look at Germany after WWII: there are ways to make money other than with war. They are now the 3rd largest economy in the world.

I like: patched tablecloths, woman at the science table.

American Christianity is also at that table.

President Eisenhower warned us. As a General he knew the inner workings of the military industrial complex

Wow - so true.

Classic.

Same conditions in Germany since Putin attacks Ucraine. We have to support the fight against Putin. Chancellor #Merz's party (conservative #CDU) is about to ruin our schools and our actually well working public healthcare system through austerity. The #Israel #Iran #USA war increases the situation.

So on point! Thank you, Amber Woods! ❤️🙏

This cartoon is russia above all and its monstrous military industrial complex. No country in the world is cannibalising itself the way russia is doing it. And for the second time in the last 50 years.

Same as it ever was.

Bray's Law: What Kills the Most is Funded the Most.

I just love how we have to repeat failures that are proven non-starters that also happen to have devastating consequences for humans.

And yet people will turn around and vote for the republican war machine it makes zero sense.

This war is costing a billion dollars a day. Meanwhile no money for healthcare, education and making the American people’s lives better.

While history also does rhyme, it does actually repeat.

Except for a relatively brief bubble of prosperity after WWII with the GI bill affording folks opportunities for education, home ownership and such, basically creating a middle class, it’s always been the Gilded Age in America.

Evergreen

Nothing new. And the usual suspects.

I've always liked it that Science is depicted as a woman

What a terrible species we humans are.

Evidence we have always been fucked up….

All prescient and accounted for.

And, behind War stand billionaires making money off of arms, munitions, equipment, and mercenaries.

Certain people get very rich when there’s war.

And sadly with good reason Primarily thanks to Vladimir Putin, but others have played their part too - including his protege, Donald Trump

Yeh, it's sad just how much this cartoon works now. You look at the sheer amount that countries like the US spend on their military, while moaning that they can't possibly pay for things that people actually need!
