I don't recognize any of these people, except the one guy who looks vaguely like Bernie Sanders. Shitty art is shitty. I'm not saying I could do better, but I'm not trying to pass myself off as an artist, either.

The bottom right-hand one is Tony Benn wearing a pentacle, isn't it?
Insult to Rocks
Why is Pelosi holding her dagger like that?
Is it a dagger? I thought it was a strap-on.

Abraham Lincoln apparantly frequently read Karl Marx columns on the New York Daily Tribune. Which is rather unsuprising, considering that the Republican party of Lincoln's era believed that wage labor was little better than chattel slavery. The early Republicans were hardline socialists who believed workers should own the means of production. If you're hating on Marx, why not hate on Lincoln as well?
Seriously though, while some of Marx theories have become outdated, such as the tendency of the profit to fall or his vision of history, I'd say that some of his writings remain pretty valid. In economy he was the first to challenge some of the key assumptions held by classical economists and he was the first to present a vision on how society at large works to a significant degree. Both are real achievements that you can't just brush off as being part of the annals of history.
I'm pretty sure the one in the top right is Robert Mueller , which is funny when you consider this:
Robert Swan Mueller III (/'m?l?r/; born August 7, 1944) is an American attorney who served as the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2001 to 2013. A conservative Republican, he was appointed by President George W. Bush; President Barack Obama gave his original ten-year term a two-year extension, making him the longest-serving FBI Director since J. Edgar Hoover.
I think the one with glasses in the middle is supposed to be Rod Rosenstein, who is also a Republican. The one waving the Marx book around is clearly Bernie Sanders, and of course you can see Hilary Clinton (apparently they haven't figured out she's retired) and Nancy Pelosi. Otherwise, I have no fucking clue.
And once again, can I LOL at the use of Soviet symbols from the party that's basically kissing Putin's ass? Or are they still trying to claim that the Soviet regime was a left-wing government and the current Russia is a right-wing government, so they're not the same? Even though they were totally both strongmen-ruled dictatorships where the main guy called all the shots, and the only real difference is capitalism?

My thoughts exactly (except I see it as those wooden french fry forks). I assume it's supposed to be a lizard tongue but it's drawn stupidly.
Chris-Chan could draw better and more entertaining stuff than this guy!
Let's see what we have here....
* A Latina bodybuilder in a pink bikini.
* An angry Bernie Sanders waving about a Karl Marx book like an angry grandpa scolding someone over it.
* The late Bob "The Internet Lumberjack" Chandler with a gallon of peanut butter in his mouth and doing a skull impression.
* Jared Fogle attempting to strangle a psychotic 1950's printed ketchup ad model who's waving around a letter opener.
* Hillary Clinton ready to mow down everybody with a tommy gun.
* Maxine Waters disdainfully studying a hatchet and miffed that she didn't get a tommy-gun as well.
* An angry old man who eats wooden fairground french fry forks.
* Robert Mueller saying "What the heck am i doing here?"
* A little girl horrified that she's in a Mick Williams cartoon.
Ben Garrison is much better at caricature than Dollar-Store-Colored-Pencil-Set here, and yet Garrison massively overlabels everything in his cartoons, but Mickey The Twit does not. I have no idea who most of these people are supposed to be.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
