Occupy Wall Street, ca. 1934

Today is the 125th anniversary of Diego Rivera's birthday. This mural was originally painted for Rockefeller Center; after it was destroyed, he recreated it as a fresco at the Palace of Fine Arts.

 

Hmm... police brutalizing protestors on the streets while the oblivious rich party the night away. Sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't know why.
