                This comic strip made during the Cold War time mocked/mimicked how society would be treated under Communist rule.

The picture here is pretty much self explanatory but it depicts an iceberg as communism and all the countries that were communist in the cold war era. The USA and Uncle Sam are the titanic which are "supposed" to hit it.
