Ever since the first time I saw this illustration, my initial impression was of an attempt at self harm from it. I understand it is supposed to imply someone reaching for a book from a stack/shelf in a library, but it's never been my first impression of it. Just seems like a weird illustration.
This is NOT intended to be a comment on the site itself or anything sectarian. To paraphrase: I'm philosophically an anarchist, so I'm pragmatically a communist, so I'm currently a socialist.

Maybe I'm just perpetually defaulting to doomer galaxy-brain ?

    It brings to mind someone about to hang themselves for me due to the single foot on the stool. That's the implication that registers first at least.
