An Unfolded German Special Poster (measures 16 1/2" x 23 1/2" [42 x 60 cm]) (Learn More) It's not the Greeks, the 2000s German poster ("It's the capitalism, stupid"; "Gatecrashers of the world unite - Let's take over their party") encouraging people to protest capitalism, and featuring an image of an owl. Note that this poster refers to the opening of the EZB (European Central Bank) in Frankfurt during the height of the Greek financial crisis (the owl is a symbol of Athens). The opening was marked by a three-day violent protest by the anti-capitalist Blockupy movement, an offshoot of the Occupy movement, and other opponents of the "Troika". Police used water cannons and tear gas against protestors, while demonstrators threw stones at police, firefighters and Frankfurt's trams, and set fire to cars and barricades. The ECB's new headquarters was reportedly selected as the venue for the demonstration so as to highlight the contradiction between the ECB's lavish spending on its own $1.4-billion building while forcing cuts and market reforms on countries like Greece and Cyprus.
