The poster shows an urban mass demonstration in support of the slogan "Proletarian revolutionaries unite to seize power from those in power within the party who are bent on taking the bourgeois road" (无产阶级革命派联合起来,向党内一心提走资产主义道路的当权派夺权). On the pavement, the slogan "Completely defeat Liu Shaoqi!" (彻底打倒刘少奇!) has been scribbled, with Liu's name in disarray to indicate that he has been struck from power. One of the flags identifies the "Rebel Faction" (造反派).
