Two "rich people"

It continues to strike me that today's so-called American progressives borrow many of their themes and their imagery from another time and place. Here's yet another example:

From YouTube.com

One of these "rich people" images is from an old propaganda film praising the founding of Soviet Communism.

The other from a California teacher's union video.

From California Federation of Teachers 

Each is fat, and has a hat, a cigar and is clutching bags of money. In text and imagery, the union seems to have borrowed heavily from Soviet themes.

Coincidence or intentional?
