What is the slogan, mostly obscured by the typist, on the poster that hangs behind him, on this poster from 1956?

Since the artist chose to obscure the poster, it must have been easily recognizable at the time; but this massive list of Chinese posters doesn't have it.

the poster is this one:

enter image description here

the propaganda is “社會主義是我們的目標,是我們的方向”, most characters are in simplified chinese.

the meaning is, roughly: “socialism is our target, is our direction”

    It is not exactly Simplified Chinese we use now. See "們", it is Traditional Chinese.
