This meme promotes the capitalistic modernization theory that sees old traditions and pre-existing societies as "primitive" obstacles to overcome for economic growth, mass consumerism at the expense of the planet and anyone in it's way.

Modern conservatism says "instead of tearing a fence down maybe it's there for a reason" while relishing in the fear and seperation it creates

And many left-wing parties might say "let's tear the fence and neighborhood down to build a factory for a new gizmo to sell"

What we need is to tear down fences to rebuild strong communities and human relations.

It's a plain old simple cartoon, mocking on how people tend to romanticize previous times. Please don't overthink it.

..I don't think left wing parties are interested in tearing down the old just to sell a gizmo? Left wing parties are kinda against capitalism
