Art should be political, but politics should not dictate art. Art that is dictated by politics is fascist. Therefore this painting is fascist. Etc.

Though if you want irony as well, the style is rather reminiscent of so-called 'Socialist Realism':

While this is Socialist Realist Complete Kitsch, it's also a welldone example of it.

You could have shown us far worse... such as the rest of the pictures shown in this thread.

Oh, true, true. But it's a very well known example of it, mainly because the propagandistic aspect of it is so disgusting.
