The woman who was acting crazy in the immigration office was not Nina. It was Yvonne Krause, the German character, who turned out not to be who she claimed to be because the real Yvonne Krause was murdered in Mexico by the Communists so this other woman could assume her identity. By the way, the actress playing "Yvonne" was Betty Lou Gerson, who is best remembered as the voice of the wicked Cruella De Vil in the Walt Disney film "101 Dalmatians" (1961).

@@antoniod "Anti-Communism was not pro-Fascism!" Oh, really? Tell that to Hitler and Mussolini, both Fascists -- and both Anti-Communists! Tell that to the South American right-wing dictators and death squads, who raped, tortured, and murdered innocent people, including women and children, including members of the clergy, even including United States citizens -- all in the name of Anti-Communism! Tell that to the CIA, which supported many of these tyrants and death squads, and in some cases, put them into power, and taught their armies and their secret police forces how to oppress their enemies, how to terrorize, torture, and murder them -- again, in the name of Anti-Communism! Tell that to these racist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, the Aryan Brotherhood, etc, who persecute, terrorize, and murder people whose race, skin color, religion, nationality, language, sexual orientation, etc, is different from what they are -- because they equate race mixing and racial equality with Communism! (significantly enough, many people have called the KKK "America's Nazis"; in fact, back in the late 1930s through the early '40s, there was a brief alliance between the Klan and the pro-Nazi German-American Bund; and let's not forget that many of the bigots of this land thought the Civil Rights movement was Communist-inspired, and that Martin Luther King was a Communist) Tell that to the professional hatemongers and red-baiters who labeled innocent people as Communists just because their political beliefs were different and/or unpopular, thereby ruining their lives, and setting their friends and neighbors against them! Is that any different from what happened in the Fascist countries like Mussolini's Italy, or Hitler's Germany, or some of those South American countries? And don't forget what happened in 1949 in Peekskill, N.Y., when a mob of so-called "patriots" attacked black singer Paul Robeson and other folk singers during a concert there, supposedly because of his sympathies towards the Soviet Union, whose leaders had treated Robeson much better than his "fellow Americans" had, in spite of the color of his skin. The truth is that the Peekskill riot was not so much about Communism or Anti-Communism, as it was about RACISM! This, after all, was a black man who dared to suggest that the Soviets were much kinder to people of color than the allegedly "free" United States, and who was performing with mainly black and Jewish singers. Not surprisingly, the people who assaulted Robeson and company included members of the KKK, and even some Neo-Nazis, who shouted racial slurs like "Nigger," "Kike," "Nigger lover," etc. And what about how the CIA and the FBI used to spy on people, including those who were never accused, or even suspected of having committed a crime, just because they THOUGHT they were "Reds" or "subversives" (including a particularly vicious campaign to harass and discredit Dr. Martin Luther King)? Was that any different from the way that Hitler's Gestapo (Secret Police) used to persecute the enemies of the Third Reich, again because they THOUGHT they were Communists (especially if some of the suspects happened to be Jewish)? Then, there was the way that our own government, in the days after the end of the Second World War, helped thousands of former Nazi officials, including some accused of War Crimes, to escape from justice -- because they needed their help in fighting the Soviets, even though Russia was one of our most important allies during the war! ("Operation Paperclip" it was called) A lot of these Nazis went to work for our government, which is probably why the government has been acting more and more like a Fascist police state, spying on us all, invading our privacy at every turn, especially through agencies like the National Security Administration (NSA), the CIA, Homeland Security, etc. Some other ex-Nazis helped to form some of the right-wing death squads of Central and South America, in some cases, with the assistance of the CIA! Once again, this was all in the name of Anti-Communism! Anti-Communism ISN'T pro-Fascism? Well, sometimes IT IS!
@@winstonsmith3433 I know that millions of people were killed, or at least oppressed, by the Communists. I was just pointing out that being anti-Communist doesn't necessarily make someone pro-freedom. As I pointed out in my previous post, it sometimes means being pro-Nazi, pro-Fascist, pro-racism, pro-segregation, pro-KKK, anti-Semitic, anti-black, anti-gay, anti-political dissent (i.e. McCarthyism, HUAC, etc,) anti-world peace, sometimes even anti-Universal Healthcare (i.e. the Tea Party people, who equate Healthcare with Socialism). I'm not trying to downplay the atrocities committed in the name of Communism. I'm merely trying to remind everyone about the similar atrocities committed in the name of Anti-Communism.
Conflating the concept of socialism/communism with the COUNTRY espousing the Soviet "style" of communism as a foreign threat to the United States. For a long, long, time I didn't understand the difference and this was not unintentional by design. We may be breaking through this hurdle, though, now, so many years later.
There's a fascinating review on IMDb of this movie by the great-nephew of its director. It reads: 'My uncle told me this was the WORST film he ever directed. He was a contract director and the studio wanted him to make a movie about Communism. "This McCarthy thing seems to be catching on," he said they told him, "and we need a film quick." They gave him six weeks and $100,000 budget - an unheard-of pittance for a feature film, even in 1949. He didn't have a cast, a crew, a script, or even a story line. So he called friends who had very little screen time, knowing no ‘Name’ actor would commit to a project like this. Besides, most of Uncle Gordon's actor friends were Western stars, like Roy Rogers. Gordon got a writer from the studio to pen the script, but he quit half-way through filming. So he and another actor had to complete the script, adding to it as they went. At the start of each day's filming, they had no idea what they were going to do. But, as promised, Uncle Gordon got this movie made on time and on budget. It saddened him a little, knowing that with all his directing credits, he would probably be most remembered for the worst film he ever made. He was proud of the rest of his filmography, and enjoyed directing well into his 70's. As for me, well, I think its kinda cool that my Great Uncle had a lot to do with the making of a cult classic. Its no Rocky Horror, Reefer Madness, or even Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but in the genre of ridiculously bad films, Red Menace can hold its celluloid head high. Just remember, Bud Springsteen had to work under extreme conditions to churn out a film this bad.’
Hannelore Axman = very pretty, classic Teutonic features, beautiful hair, petite figure, at the peak of life right in this film. Sure wish I had a time machine!
I wouldn't exactly call her "Teutonic." That word suggests that she is of German origin, yet the character's name is Nina Petrovsky, which means she's either Russian or Polish.
One of the main problems with Socialism and Communism was summed up by Maggie Thatcher: "Eventually, you run out of other people's money."
8 ปีที่แล้ว +1
+Locke Demosthenes The E.U. and Obama have run out of other people's money and are now in massive debt that nobody talks about in the mass media, acting as though it will somehow go away.
Capitalism faced this same problem when in 2008 US banks had to get a bailout from the US taxpayer. What Thatcher was saying was in support of her draconian capatilist doctrine of, The rich survive and the poor go to the wall.
@staytunedfor America is 21 trillion in debt, both parties are responsible, you are correct. Think though, the Dems have very likely stolen far more tax funding than the GOP.
@@jamesoneil1388 Even assuming that what you are saying is true, there is no proof of any correlation between former President Obama allegedly advocating that calendar months be increased to 34 days and the number 34 being Karl Marx's "lucky number." It could be a coincidence, you know. And where did you hear this story about Obama being "on a private island training a force of 250,000 to invade the United States so he can establish a communist dictatorship"? You don't give any source for this fantastic tale. Why would a former President of the United States of America do something like that? Unless you're just making the whole thing up because you don't like black people. It wouldn't be the first time that some right-wing maniac invented a phony "Red plot" to further a personal agenda. The CIA was great at that very thing. They dreamed up so-called "Communist threats" in countries like Iran in 1953, in Guatemala in 1954, in Chile in 1973, etc, and used them as an excuse to overthrow the governments of those countries and replace them with military dictatorships. The only trouble was there were no "Red conspiracies" in any of those places, and that the real reason for getting rid of their legally elected governments was to protect U.S.-owned corporate interests. In Southeast Asia in the 1950s-60s, the CIA also had a habit of commiting terrorist acts and blaming them on the Communists, so they could use them as justifications for getting America further and more deeply involved in the fighting in that remote part of the world, which inevitably led us into the farce of the Vietnam War, and we all know what a blunder that was. The agency probably learned these "dirty tricks" from the former Nazis that they smuggled out of Germany through the so-called "Operation Paperclip." After all, the Nazis first came into full power in Germany after the burning of the Reichstag (Parliament) building in Berlin in 1933. Adolf Hitler charged that the fire had been caused by the Communists, and immediately declared a state of emergency, assuming dictatorial powers, suspending all civil liberties (especially of the Jews), banning all political parties except the Nazi Party, and effectively turning "the Fatherland" into the totalitarian regime it became, which led to Hitler's attempt at world conquest, the Second World War, and of course, the Holocaust. Ironically, some historians say that the Nazis themselves started the Reichstag fire (probably under Hitler's orders), so they could make it look like the country was in danger of a "Red revolution," which would have led the people to willingly accept Hitler as their absolute ruler, believing him (AND ONLY HIM) to be their friend and protector. If they can invent Communist threats that never existed, couldn't somebody also invent a "Commie" plot supposedly involving an ex-president like Obama?
Yes everything just went slowly according to their plan. Our country has been fundamentally changed. It's just like the Twilight Zone where everything is upside down and backwards.
Look at Obama's "change" to decimate America, while habitual lying, self serving, treasonous crooks like the Clinton's are able to buy off the FBI to remain out of a federal pen. The commies have won, but there remains hope if enough voters elect Trump, and expose this subversion and sedition at the highest levels of government, media and education.
The Clintons are not communists, they are corporate criminals. The U.S.A. has a "grassroots movement" on the horizon where "We the People" are working on positive change.Trump uses illegal labor to build his towers and employs foreign workers to sew his line of shirts. Trump pushed out the poor from a building and renovated it for the rich to live there.

Listen to the speech at 48.20 minutes, welcome to the Democratic Party 2023! This movie has powerful messages that are still relevant for today. I applaud those who are smart enough to see the fake realities and break away from such corrupt and divisive social philosophies.
Oh save it. You Republicans were saying the same crap about Roosevelt in the 1930's and your tune hasn't changed since. A broken record. The Democrats have fought just as many, if not more, Communists throughout the world than any Republican. Just because the Democrats won't sit by and watch people struggling to get by you guys have always called them Communists. Well guess what, nobody with any sense or knowledge of history buys that nonsense. The Republican Party, once the party of Lincoln, has become a total joke. It has become the mindless base of a cheap real estate hustler and con man who belongs in prison, nowhere near the most powerful democracy in the world. Get your own house in order before you even think of talking about another political party. Good day sir.
If it wasn't for capitalist paying taxes then the needy wouldn't have anything. Problem today is, everyone thinks they should instantly be rich, after high school, not work for it. And if not, then everyone owes them something. Just what a commie dictater wants them to think. Once everyone has a hand out, then the hand handing out is removed. Then the hand handing out, has it all, and everyone is controlled. Not hard to figure, oh, but this is 2023, 2 generations of INDOCTRINATION.
People can look after their own needs when they have wealth, be independent and make the decisions best for themselves. Communism is when the government controls everything and provides everything and you do what the government decides and get what the government decides to give you.

@@thaneofwhiterun3562 He's not calling everyone who opposes Communism a Nazi. He's merely saying that some of the GOP leaders act and think like Nazis, that they have a very authoritarian viewpoint, and that they're hostile towards the rights of certain people, especially the minorities, women, the gays, etc. By the way, calling someone who opposes Fascism and/or Nazism a Communist is a classic Fascist/Nazi trick. As for going back to "Soviet Russia," it's not called that anymore, because it's no longer a Communist state.
The Open Source Community is practically a Communist organization and they benefit the entire world. The internet would be impossible or extremely expensive under capitalism
The Open Source Community exists because these people use these projects as a way to build a portfolio to get actual jobs where they get compensated fairly....How many contributors are living in Cuba or Venezuela? Go look it up and then get back to me, and also look up what you have to do to even have internet access in any of these places....
@@hereb4theend That seriously makes no sense considering the definitions of socialism and capitalism. The second the state controls the means of production (socialism), you're no longer under capitalism, given that individual decisions, prices, production, supply and demand, and private ownership of the means of production are no longer the organizing forces of the economy. You are just confusing the definitions so that you can claim that communism has never been "done right", which is the classic way to avoid cognitive dissonance and not have to face the fact that every single implementation of communism has failed.
@@CapitanNaufrago Communism is borderless. It can't be defined by national borders. To date there is no country that practice communism. The closest thing to it is the internet.
@@hereb4theend The internet is a product of capitalism. There's nothing about it that's community-owned. Not its provision, not its implementation, not even domain names. Only a handful of companies wrote most of its software, driven by profit, and managed most of its traffic. But not even in its conception as a system of decentralized networks does it fit with the definition of communism. You need capital to even access it because you need a server to set up a website and a modem to dial-up and stop by. The second it started, some hosts and connections were better than others, which in part explains why we have the internet we have today. The original intent behind why it was created had nothing to do with anything resembling communism and more to do difficulties of finding information stored on different computers. The reason communism hasn't been done is because it is completely impossible to make a collective decision about the workings of anything without some proper delegation of power or majority rule, once you are in a group setting. I encourage you to look up the definitions of social choice problems and collective action problems. It might give you some insights into why it always ends up being state-ran, and why it could never be anything other than state-ran, single-party or worker-union ran. So basically if you invent something that in practice is impossible, it is pretty legitimate to say it has been tried and failed miserably.
Great movie. It is amazing how much of this was going on in the USA. We, in the USA, hadn't a clue. We were told, by a handful of people, that the USSR's subversive work in the USA was extensive. But, main stream media covered it up. And any politician that discussed the issue was labeled a McCarthyist. After the released documents from the former USSR, that is when I seen just how bad it was …. and found out that McCarthy Was Right!
Exactly why would the "main stream media" cover up a story like that? The fact is that during the height of the Cold War, the newspapers were full of stories about spy scandals (Alger Hiss, the Rosenbergs, etc.) and Soviet espionage and subversion in the United States and other countries. Some of these stories may or may not have been exaggerated, but they seemed to confirm the fears and suspicions that many people felt at the time about "the Red Menace." As for your contention that Senator Joseph McCarthy was "right," I somehow doubt that.
Ol Joe McCarthy was right all along and to shows today more than ever! Just look at the American college campus. Conservatives are attacked while the Reds like ANTIFA are welcomed in with open ass cheeks.
Yep; just twik this pic in a few places and you have 2016-17; Democrat party (including media, entertainment, and he academy) turned into CommieCrabMob.
Tamanwar: Do you know what a Chameleon does? It changes its color to blend-in, in its environment. Many "Chameleons" have come from the former communist east European countries, when the doors opened after the collapse, to come to the West and quickly joined the political process. Some even changed there names, to evade their place of origin and to blend-in more easily.. You may not be aware of it, but the Queen of England is.
Yes, and with a few tweaks here and there, you have the modern day REPUBLICAN Party, with that Fascist bully now in the White House leading the charge.
@@michaelpalmieri7335 Lol calling Trump fascist without any evidence whatsoever. Commies deserve free helicopter rides for sure. McCarthy was right all along, he only didn't go far enough.
This movie flopped, but only because it is as blunt as a sledgehammer. It isn't wrong, for the most part, just very unsubtle. Something like Invasion of the Body Snatchers did well and was anti-communist in the process.
The threat of communist infiltration in our government, particularly in our atomic weapons development facilities, was very real in the 40s and 50s. The Soviets stole our nuclear weapons data which allowed them to develop their own weapons far faster and at much less cost than if they hadn’t stolen the data. But ridiculous films like this one and several others of that era make it seem like these people were everywhere. In reality, they never had much luck in fielding political candidates, nobody in large numbers wanted what they were selling, which makes the hysteria over the “reds under every bed” so humorous. The effects of the red scare, however, aren’t funny in the least. They were witch hunts that destroyed many people’s lives in Hollywood on the flimsiest of evidence and innuendo. And, of course, there was a desire to paint democrats as “pink” by the GOP who had been reduced to minority status for 20 years, and they’d do (and did) anything to change that, including painting their loyal opposition as traitors to America.
He's referring to the Stalinist Communist running the Soviet Union put in place by the Illuminati. President Putin hates the NWO Bankers, but Hillary is one of their members.
I'll guess that, as of the election, you now think Russia is okie dokie and hate anyone that called for an investigation into their involvement in the election. You love the results of their interference and Putin's new controls on the United States. You're basically a traitor to the country and will gladly Hitler-salute trump whenever you see him. That about right?
Nangleator22: I guess you jumped the gun there. Did you read the report the CIA, NSA, FBI, brought out? It was a worthless report because of no credible evidence, but it had their unsubstantiated opinion.

Trumpty, ...whoops, Humpty Dumpty was a big bad fat egg charachter sitting on a WALL. The connection between WALL and Trumpty is quite apparent. Lewis Carroll put Humpty in his Alice in Wonderland tale and this a quote from the big egg: "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less." One can see another connection with Trumpty in this very special quote. I am willing to say that I believe Trumpty Dumpty will live up to another line in the rhyme: ".... and Humpty had a great fall." I don't think Putin will be able to put him back together again. :(
Marx did for all the social sciences what Darwin did for biology. Albert Einstein was an open communist collaborator and sympathized with the Soviet Union. He never capitulated to the pressure he was under to bad-mouth the Soviet Union. Perhaps he appreciated the Red Army of the Soviet Union for driving Hitler to suicide. Read his 1948 essay "WHY SOCIALISM?" in the late 1930's Einstein met with his friend and colleague, discoverer of Radium, French Communist Party Member Marie Curie in his office at Princeton. Topic of the meeting: building support for the Communist-led war in Spain against Hitler's protege General Franco. Let's tip our hats to the CP USA. We sent 3,000 comrades to Spain to fight fascism, half of them died there. Happy ending. The Communist and Socialist Parties of Spain are now the elected government of Spain.
It would take the demise of Sen. McCarthy before less ridiculously stereotyped movies appeared, such as the excellent Storm Center (1956) Nevertheless, it is important to see these early Red Scare movies as a testimony how spasmodic democracy and especially (ultra) capitamism reacted in those days against whoever asked serious questions about exploitation, and in stead only emphasizes all the shortcomings of communism. The same unhealthy approach could be found in the asphyxiating My Son John (again with priests waving with the cross) or the British movie Sabotage, in which norty and ultra stereotype pipesmoking communists with a weak spot for unmelodic avant)garde music want to blow up Battersea power station. Today, a US president who can't admit he lost the elections thinks that the current leader in Moscow is a "smart" guy, and so is the party boss of North Corea... I wonder what "Joe" McCarthy would have thought about that....

@@MarinCipollina don't you find it terribly ironic that those who call themselves "antifa behave similar to and worse than the fascists they claim to despise.
I think it's reasonable to be against communism, so long as you understand what communism is. Obama was not a communist and neither are liberals. Communism is an authoritarian leftist ideology, while liberalism is a liberal leftist ideology which usually isn't nearly as left wing as communism.
Sobit Asadullah Liberals tend to be for welfare programs, universal education, universal healthcare, etc. which are technically left wing ideas. It's true that they don't believe in every left wing idea, but they are certainly on the left wing spectrum at least in the context of America and Canada. I understand that communism is more complicated and diverse than I made it seem, I just didn't want to write an essay in the comment section. The main point of my comment was to disagree with the other people who are saying that liberals and Obama (who isn't very liberal) are communists.
Yes but leftism derives from the workers in the left side of the Estates general. Liberalism comes from the rich pissing their pants when real leftists who want worker control came to revolutionize. Centrist doctrine wants the bourgeoisie in power, in distinct opposition with the leftist belief in at least financial equity. You see it now, in fact with 50% of the world's wealth in control of the 1%.
Sobit Asadullah It seems we disagree about the point of liberalism, but regardless that wasn't the main point of my original comment. Whether or not you agree with my opinions on communism, the main point of my comment was that Obama, other Democrats, and liberals are not communists. If I made my original comment as simple as possible, it was so the right wingers in the comments might be able to get their heads at least half way out their asses, not to start an argument over the origins of political labels.
And why do you think that Obama's grandparents migrated to the Communist town in Oregon where commies were descending upon in the 1940's? Because Obama is from a long line of commie traitors.
@Semi tone it's actually quite cold here and I am not sweating. I'm not even communist but this is the reefer madness of communism. I can't believe people still exist that take the Red Scare propaganda literally

The woman who was acting crazy in the immigration office was not Nina. It was Yvonne Krause, the German character, who turned out not to be who she claimed to be because the real Yvonne Krause was murdered in Mexico by the Communists so this other woman could assume her identity.
By the way, the actress playing "Yvonne" was Betty Lou Gerson, who is best remembered as the voice of the wicked Cruella De Vil in the Walt Disney film "101 Dalmatians" (1961).

This is not a pro-Fascist film. Anti-Communism was not pro-Fascism!
I argue with the over all message except the god stuff and this was boring AF, even in the background while reading "Atlas shrugged"
@@antoniod "Anti-Communism was not pro-Fascism!"
Oh, really? Tell that to Hitler and Mussolini, both Fascists -- and both Anti-Communists!
Tell that to the South American right-wing dictators and death squads, who raped, tortured, and murdered innocent people, including women and children, including members of the clergy, even including United States citizens -- all in the name of Anti-Communism!
Tell that to the CIA, which supported many of these tyrants and death squads, and in some cases, put them into power, and taught their armies and their secret police forces how to oppress their enemies, how to terrorize, torture, and murder them -- again, in the name of Anti-Communism!
Tell that to these racist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, the Aryan Brotherhood, etc, who persecute, terrorize, and murder people whose race, skin color, religion, nationality, language, sexual orientation, etc, is different from what they are -- because they equate race mixing and racial equality with Communism! (significantly enough, many people have called the KKK "America's Nazis"; in fact, back in the late 1930s through the early '40s, there was a brief alliance between the Klan and the pro-Nazi German-American Bund; and let's not forget that many of the bigots of this land thought the Civil Rights movement was Communist-inspired, and that Martin Luther King was a Communist)
Tell that to the professional hatemongers and red-baiters who labeled innocent people as Communists just because their political beliefs were different and/or unpopular, thereby ruining their lives, and setting their friends and neighbors against them! Is that any different from what happened in the Fascist countries like Mussolini's Italy, or Hitler's Germany, or some of those South American countries? And don't forget what happened in 1949 in Peekskill, N.Y., when a mob of so-called "patriots" attacked black singer Paul Robeson and other folk singers during a concert there, supposedly because of his sympathies towards the Soviet Union, whose leaders had treated Robeson much better than his "fellow Americans" had, in spite of the color of his skin. The truth is that the Peekskill riot was not so much about Communism or Anti-Communism, as it was about RACISM! This, after all, was a black man who dared to suggest that the Soviets were much kinder to people of color than the allegedly "free" United States, and who was performing with mainly black and Jewish singers. Not surprisingly, the people who assaulted Robeson and company included members of the KKK, and even some Neo-Nazis, who shouted racial slurs like "Nigger," "Kike," "Nigger lover," etc.
And what about how the CIA and the FBI used to spy on people, including those who were never accused, or even suspected of having committed a crime, just because they THOUGHT they were "Reds" or "subversives" (including a particularly vicious campaign to harass and discredit Dr. Martin Luther King)? Was that any different from the way that Hitler's Gestapo (Secret Police) used to persecute the enemies of the Third Reich, again because they THOUGHT they were Communists (especially if some of the suspects happened to be Jewish)?
Then, there was the way that our own government, in the days after the end of the Second World War, helped thousands of former Nazi officials, including some accused of War Crimes, to escape from justice -- because they needed their help in fighting the Soviets, even though Russia was one of our most important allies during the war! ("Operation Paperclip" it was called) A lot of these Nazis went to work for our government, which is probably why the government has been acting more and more like a Fascist police state, spying on us all, invading our privacy at every turn, especially through agencies like the National Security Administration (NSA), the CIA, Homeland Security, etc. Some other ex-Nazis helped to form some of the right-wing death squads of Central and South America, in some cases, with the assistance of the CIA! Once again, this was all in the name of Anti-Communism!
Anti-Communism ISN'T pro-Fascism? Well, sometimes IT IS!
@@michaelpalmieri7335 tell that to the 200 million people killed by communist.
@@winstonsmith3433 I know that millions of people were killed, or at least oppressed, by the Communists. I was just pointing out that being anti-Communist doesn't necessarily make someone pro-freedom. As I pointed out in my previous post, it sometimes means being pro-Nazi, pro-Fascist, pro-racism, pro-segregation, pro-KKK, anti-Semitic, anti-black, anti-gay, anti-political dissent (i.e. McCarthyism, HUAC, etc,) anti-world peace, sometimes even anti-Universal Healthcare (i.e. the Tea Party people, who equate Healthcare with Socialism).

Conflating the concept of socialism/communism with the COUNTRY espousing the Soviet "style" of communism as a foreign threat to the United States. For a long, long, time I didn't understand the difference and this was not unintentional by design. We may be breaking through this hurdle, though, now, so many years later.
RV houses only what do you think thank you Spanky
Communism is evil. Socialism is the road. Democratic socialism literally just means "we'll let you vote us into power, and THEN we'll oppress you".
There's a fascinating review on IMDb of this movie by the great-nephew of its director. It reads: 'My uncle told me this was the WORST film he ever directed. He was a contract director and the studio wanted him to make a movie about Communism. "This McCarthy thing seems to be catching on," he said they told him, "and we need a film quick." They gave him six weeks and $100,000 budget - an unheard-of pittance for a feature film, even in 1949. He didn't have a cast, a crew, a script, or even a story line. So he called friends who had very little screen time, knowing no ‘Name’ actor would commit to a project like this. Besides, most of Uncle Gordon's actor friends were Western stars, like Roy Rogers.
Gordon got a writer from the studio to pen the script, but he quit half-way through filming. So he and another actor had to complete the script, adding to it as they went. At the start of each day's filming, they had no idea what they were going to do.
But, as promised, Uncle Gordon got this movie made on time and on budget.
It saddened him a little, knowing that with all his directing credits, he would probably be most remembered for the worst film he ever made. He was proud of the rest of his filmography, and enjoyed directing well into his 70's.
As for me, well, I think its kinda cool that my Great Uncle had a lot to do with the making of a cult classic. Its no Rocky Horror, Reefer Madness, or even Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, but in the genre of ridiculously bad films, Red Menace can hold its celluloid head high.
Just remember, Bud Springsteen had to work under extreme conditions to churn out a film this bad.’
Hannelore Axman = very pretty, classic Teutonic features, beautiful hair, petite figure, at the peak of life right in this film. Sure wish I had a time machine!
I wouldn't exactly call her "Teutonic." That word suggests that she is of German origin, yet the character's name is Nina Petrovsky, which means she's either Russian or Polish.
My Mom's name is Hannelore ! She is now 95. Came here in 1953 from Germany....

One of the main problems with Socialism and Communism was summed up by Maggie Thatcher: "Eventually, you run out of other people's money."
+Locke Demosthenes The E.U. and Obama have run out of other people's money and are now in massive debt that nobody talks about in the mass media, acting as though it will somehow go away.
Capitalism faced this same problem when in 2008 US banks had to get a bailout from the US taxpayer.
What Thatcher was saying was in support of her draconian capatilist doctrine of, The rich survive and the poor go to the wall.
Everyone under Democracy has the wherewithal to prosper based on personal free will not based on a group look at Walmart

@@jamesoneil1388 Even assuming that what you are saying is true, there is no proof of any correlation between former President Obama allegedly advocating that calendar months be increased to 34 days and the number 34 being Karl Marx's "lucky number." It could be a coincidence, you know.
And where did you hear this story about Obama being "on a private island training a force of 250,000 to invade the United States so he can establish a communist dictatorship"? You don't give any source for this fantastic tale. Why would a former President of the United States of America do something like that? Unless you're just making the whole thing up because you don't like black people.
It wouldn't be the first time that some right-wing maniac invented a phony "Red plot" to further a personal agenda. The CIA was great at that very thing. They dreamed up so-called "Communist threats" in countries like Iran in 1953, in Guatemala in 1954, in Chile in 1973, etc, and used them as an excuse to overthrow the governments of those countries and replace them with military dictatorships. The only trouble was there were no "Red conspiracies" in any of those places, and that the real reason for getting rid of their legally elected governments was to protect U.S.-owned corporate interests.
In Southeast Asia in the 1950s-60s, the CIA also had a habit of commiting terrorist acts and blaming them on the Communists, so they could use them as justifications for getting America further and more deeply involved in the fighting in that remote part of the world, which inevitably led us into the farce of the Vietnam War, and we all know what a blunder that was.
The agency probably learned these "dirty tricks" from the former Nazis that they smuggled out of Germany through the so-called "Operation Paperclip." After all, the Nazis first came into full power in Germany after the burning of the Reichstag (Parliament) building in Berlin in 1933. Adolf Hitler charged that the fire had been caused by the Communists, and immediately declared a state of emergency, assuming dictatorial powers, suspending all civil liberties (especially of the Jews), banning all political parties except the Nazi Party, and effectively turning "the Fatherland" into the totalitarian regime it became, which led to Hitler's attempt at world conquest, the Second World War, and of course, the Holocaust.
Ironically, some historians say that the Nazis themselves started the Reichstag fire (probably under Hitler's orders), so they could make it look like the country was in danger of a "Red revolution," which would have led the people to willingly accept Hitler as their absolute ruler, believing him (AND ONLY HIM) to be their friend and protector.
If they can invent Communist threats that never existed, couldn't somebody also invent a "Commie" plot supposedly involving an ex-president like Obama?

Capitalism is about helping the individual get rich, not about looking after the peoples needs.
If it wasn't for capitalist paying taxes then the needy wouldn't have anything. Problem today is, everyone thinks they should instantly be rich, after high school, not work for it. And if not, then everyone owes them something. Just what a commie dictater wants them to think. Once everyone has a hand out, then the hand handing out is removed. Then the hand handing out, has it all, and everyone is controlled. Not hard to figure, oh, but this is 2023, 2 generations of INDOCTRINATION.
People can look after their own needs when they have wealth, be independent and make the decisions best for themselves. Communism is when the government controls everything and provides everything and you do what the government decides and get what the government decides to give you.

@@CapitanNaufrago Socialism is nothing more than State Capitalism.
@@hereb4theend That seriously makes no sense considering the definitions of socialism and capitalism. The second the state controls the means of production (socialism), you're no longer under capitalism, given that individual decisions, prices, production, supply and demand, and private ownership of the means of production are no longer the organizing forces of the economy. You are just confusing the definitions so that you can claim that communism has never been "done right", which is the classic way to avoid cognitive dissonance and not have to face the fact that every single implementation of communism has failed.
@@CapitanNaufrago Communism is borderless. It can't be defined by national borders. To date there is no country that practice communism. The closest thing to it is the internet.
@@hereb4theend The internet is a product of capitalism. There's nothing about it that's community-owned. Not its provision, not its implementation, not even domain names. Only a handful of companies wrote most of its software, driven by profit, and managed most of its traffic. But not even in its conception as a system of decentralized networks does it fit with the definition of communism. You need capital to even access it because you need a server to set up a website and a modem to dial-up and stop by. The second it started, some hosts and connections were better than others, which in part explains why we have the internet we have today. The original intent behind why it was created had nothing to do with anything resembling communism and more to do difficulties of finding information stored on different computers. The reason communism hasn't been done is because it is completely impossible to make a collective decision about the workings of anything without some proper delegation of power or majority rule, once you are in a group setting. I encourage you to look up the definitions of social choice problems and collective action problems. It might give you some insights into why it always ends up being state-ran, and why it could never be anything other than state-ran, single-party or worker-union ran. So basically if you invent something that in practice is impossible, it is pretty legitimate to say it has been tried and failed miserably.
Great movie. It is amazing how much of this was going on in the USA. We, in the USA, hadn't a clue. We were told, by a handful of people, that the USSR's subversive work in the USA was extensive. But, main stream media covered it up. And any politician that discussed the issue was labeled a McCarthyist. After the released documents from the former USSR, that is when I seen just how bad it was …. and found out that McCarthy Was Right!
Exactly why would the "main stream media" cover up a story like that? The fact is that during the height of the Cold War, the newspapers were full of stories about spy scandals (Alger Hiss, the Rosenbergs, etc.) and Soviet espionage and subversion in the United States and other countries. Some of these stories may or may not have been exaggerated, but they seemed to confirm the fears and suspicions that many people felt at the time about "the Red Menace."
As for your contention that Senator Joseph McCarthy was "right," I somehow doubt that.

The threat of communist infiltration in our government, particularly in our atomic weapons development facilities, was very real in the 40s and 50s. The Soviets stole our nuclear weapons data which allowed them to develop their own weapons far faster and at much less cost than if they hadn’t stolen the data. But ridiculous films like this one and several others of that era make it seem like these people were everywhere. In reality, they never had much luck in fielding political candidates, nobody in large numbers wanted what they were selling, which makes the hysteria over the “reds under every bed” so humorous. The effects of the red scare, however, aren’t funny in the least. They were witch hunts that destroyed many people’s lives in Hollywood on the flimsiest of evidence and innuendo. And, of course, there was a desire to paint democrats as “pink” by the GOP who had been reduced to minority status for 20 years, and they’d do (and did) anything to change that, including painting their loyal opposition as traitors to America.
Actually Communists have infiltrated our government, courts, universities, media, etc.

Trumpty, ...whoops, Humpty Dumpty was a big bad fat egg charachter sitting on a WALL. The connection between WALL and Trumpty is quite apparent. Lewis Carroll put Humpty in his Alice in Wonderland tale and this a quote from the big egg:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less."
One can see another connection with Trumpty in this very special quote. I am willing to say that I believe Trumpty Dumpty will live up to another line in the rhyme:
".... and Humpty had a great fall." I don't think Putin will be able to put him back together again. :(
nothing like a good, old school propaganda movie for a lazy sunday morning.
The propaganda level of this is pretty cringe-worthy. Excellent use of strawmen though
Which "strawmen" are you talking about?
Marx did for all the social sciences what Darwin did for biology. Albert Einstein was an open communist collaborator and sympathized with the Soviet Union. He never capitulated to the pressure he was under to bad-mouth the Soviet Union. Perhaps he appreciated the Red Army of the Soviet Union for driving Hitler to suicide. Read his 1948 essay "WHY SOCIALISM?" in the late 1930's Einstein met with his friend and colleague, discoverer of Radium, French Communist Party Member Marie Curie in his office at Princeton. Topic of the meeting: building support for the Communist-led war in Spain against Hitler's protege General Franco. Let's tip our hats to the CP USA. We sent 3,000 comrades to Spain to fight fascism, half of them died there. Happy ending. The Communist and Socialist Parties of Spain are now the elected government of Spain.
Yeah, sure, Spain has been doing some really great things since then!
It would take the demise of Sen. McCarthy before less ridiculously stereotyped movies appeared, such as the excellent Storm Center (1956) Nevertheless, it is important to see these early Red Scare movies as a testimony how spasmodic democracy and especially (ultra) capitamism reacted in those days against whoever asked serious questions about exploitation, and in stead only emphasizes all the shortcomings of communism. The same unhealthy approach could be found in the asphyxiating My Son John (again with priests waving with the cross) or the British movie Sabotage, in which norty and ultra stereotype pipesmoking communists with a weak spot for unmelodic avant)garde music want to blow up Battersea power station. Today, a US president who can't admit he lost the elections thinks that the current leader in Moscow is a "smart" guy, and so is the party boss of North Corea... I wonder what "Joe" McCarthy would have thought about that....
Capitalism isn't a form of Government, It is how items and services are bought and sold, our form of Government is supposed to be a Republican/Democratically Elected Republican Constitutional Government - a country of laws not men.

@Semi tone Yeah you've already showed why your conclusions results in a failure. "Sov-iet".
@Semi tone Anyways, let's debate then.
@Semi tone You need to work on the flirting and that was corny too.
Why does antifa come to mind when watching this?
good question! Perhaps because they are not communists. maybe some think they are, god bless 'm .. From the Bakuninist Anarchists of the 1840s - 1850s (Era of the Communist Manifesto) to the present -- Marxism has always been antithetical to anarchism ... If they read Lenin's timely little book LEFT-WING COMMUNISM: AN INFANTILE DISORDER . . .
@@russellpelle4414 Thank God. Someone with an actual brain
@@elaovi I salute you comrade! My brain has both hemispheres, but the left side is dominant. I am CP USA in Jacksonville FL jaxcp@hotmail.com.
Sounds like you've been propagandized. Do you know what 'antifa' means? It means anti-fascist. Do you support fascism?
@@MarinCipollina don't you find it terribly ironic that those who call themselves "antifa behave similar to and worse than the fascists they claim to despise.
I think it's reasonable to be against communism, so long as you understand what communism is. Obama was not a communist and neither are liberals. Communism is an authoritarian leftist ideology, while liberalism is a liberal leftist ideology which usually isn't nearly as left wing as communism.
Iranite Lace It isnt leftist! its centrist and you overgeneralized communism

Liberals tend to be for welfare programs, universal education, universal healthcare, etc. which are technically left wing ideas. It's true that they don't believe in every left wing idea, but they are certainly on the left wing spectrum at least in the context of America and Canada. I understand that communism is more complicated and diverse than I made it seem, I just didn't want to write an essay in the comment section. The main point of my comment was to disagree with the other people who are saying that liberals and Obama (who isn't very liberal) are communists.
Yes but leftism derives from the workers in the left side of the Estates general. Liberalism comes from the rich pissing their pants when real leftists who want worker control came to revolutionize. Centrist doctrine wants the bourgeoisie in power, in distinct opposition with the leftist belief in at least financial equity. You see it now, in fact with 50% of the world's wealth in control of the 1%.

It seems we disagree about the point of liberalism, but regardless that wasn't the main point of my original comment. Whether or not you agree with my opinions on communism, the main point of my comment was that Obama, other Democrats, and liberals are not communists. If I made my original comment as simple as possible, it was so the right wingers in the comments might be able to get their heads at least half way out their asses, not to start an argument over the origins of political labels.
And why do you think that Obama's grandparents migrated to the Communist town in Oregon where commies were descending upon in the 1940's? Because Obama is from a long line of commie traitors.
This is such a stupid propaganda film hahaha. It's so stupid. I'm shocked anyone takes this propaganda film seriously.
@Semi tone it's actually quite cold here and I am not sweating. I'm not even communist but this is the reefer madness of communism. I can't believe people still exist that take the Red Scare propaganda literally
It’s all trumps faultll
Nah, I blame Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir.
I'm always avoided this type of movie story specially if it's based in Communism or Communist Party
I’m a communist sympathizer but I agree with this film 100%
So, you're not a communist sympathizer.
