1966
Hold high the great red banner of Mao Zedong to wage the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution to the end - Revolution is no crime, to rebel is justified - link
You'll see these sorts of Mao-era posters at antique markets or at youth hostels and bars. But there really aren't too many remnants of these posters, or this era as a whole, in China today.
As a student of Chinese history, I find these posters so interesting. The height of Mao Zedong thought and the campaigns carried out during that era continue to fascinate me.
I'm going to post a few more posters from the site here. Go check out the site to see the wide array the authors have collected.

I really like the way these posters are made. What fascinates me is how close they are to their Soviet Union and East European counterparts.
