The fascist oligarchs have a monopoly on the vending
machines & the contents of the product.
They already control all aspects of our food supply, &,
not to leave any opportunity for profit & control
untapped, are currently gobbling up water supplies.

well, i think that the vending machine represents the economic purpose of war, and the fountain represents the social purpose of peace.
it’s something like “war is good for some, peace is good for us all”

I feel this is a slightly simplistic interpretation. All political cartoons are, but this one especially hits home. I’m not a Pepsi employee, but this corporation probably does just as much good as harm. Besides, do you really believe all the water companies are just out to help their fellow man?

Excellent. It’s a quintessentially American view. Does that soda machine also dispense cigarettes, alcohol, sex, economic prosperity?

Good juxtaposition, MP. However, big kudos to Mr. Fish for this very quietly brilliant simile. Always on top, Mr. Fish.

Would have been more on target if the “peace” fixture were a urinal.
