I agree with the message but I'm a bit miffed by the omission of Rosie the Riveter. And before anyone pipes in about how those women lost their jobs afterward -- it's propaganda! It's not meant to reflect reality.
C'mon, she's still an icon.
That's the thing though, Communist posters do reflect reality. Women in USSR were emancipated and had far more opportunities than women living under capitalist regimes.
I can excuse authoritarianism, but I draw the line at sexism in my advertising!

On one hand, I initially thought it was odd and insincere to contrast (what I assume is) state-made propaganda with commercial ads. In my state, the state-funded media channels are infamous for being far more progressive than commercial channels. The state-made stuff has an official authority to it.
But on the other hand, commercial ads are far more pervasive than state-made propaganda in my society. State-made stuff are basically just announcements, with occasional social campaigns about drink-driving, smoking and domestic violence, or maybe the military giving STEM ads aimed at women. The state channels can barely compete with ads and capital news, so perhaps it is fair to treat them as the primary face of media under capitalism.
