Uncle Sam's Decadent Robot Pal

Via Warren Ellis, a Boschian propaganda poster from World War II:

kulturterror

Needless to say, this one was a Nazi effort. (Who else would imagine a Judeo-Klansman alliance? Note also the roughly equal attention given to the record and the bag of money -- that is, to jazz and the bourgeoisie.) According to a commenter on Ellis' site, the caption translates as "The USA wants to save European culture from decay. Based on what right?"
