Excuse me, We are a chilean YT channel. Our purpose is to spread our anticommunist ideal so as gain more space in the cultural realm and from time to time we translate into spanish interesting footages we may find in english language. Would you bother if we work on this video? If so, the link to both the original video and your channel will appear in the description below once we upload it translated to our channel. We also invite you to visit our channel (we also have a cpl of interesting videos, such as, "Pinochet, the man behind the myth" and "We Chileans vs. Cultural Marxism... Deal with it!" translated from spanish into english specially for you english speakers). We Chileans also have our secret as to why we've become the most prosperous country in our zone ;) Greetings and hope you agree!
What's interesting is in that day they let the commies speak and the people decide. Today, the communists (e.g. Democrat Party) won't let others speak. So this film was right!
well yeh, people assume that people didn't dislike rascism/hate it already back then, but this video seems to prove that people were already aware of it and already had been for years.
Capitalism vs Communism aside, I really like how the Cartoon points out how easy it is for someone to take advantage of division in order to promote themselves.
Too bad that this propaganda was developed to defend the interest of a settler colonial state founded off the genocide of Native Americans, the mass enslavement of millions of Africans, and constant imperialist violence on a global scale. When it says "When anybody preaches disunity, tries to put one of us against the other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance", the particular people they are referencing are black and brown people that challenged the white supremacist capitalist empire that was and is the United States. The villain in the cartoon is quite literally a racial stereotype; while all of the "heroes" are entirely white. When they say "race hatred", they're referring to criticism against the white settler population. And that's quite evident through the fact that Eugenics was specifically invented in the United States; and that Hitler took direct inspiration for the Holocaust and Lebensraum from the United States's massacre of Native Americans during "Manifest Destiny".
@@Hewylewistrue, they're making films like "my son hunter" and " what is a woman" to spread hatred against minorities and their representatives via their children. Sickening stuff.
I watched this and have seen how much has changed since it was made. The United States of America no longer seems to believe in that level of freedom, any more.
@@stibbo I was looking at their worldwide statistics and they ranked number 4 on the freedom scale in 2015. That is excellent. Today, they do not even rank in the top ten most free nations. They are barely a 15 on the scale today. That qualifies as fair. This is in the world population review. This is the highest of the three rankings that usually does not require a VPN to access, in most nations. Their currency in 2015 ranked number 3. That, also, is excellent. Today, they rank number 10, which is still quite respectable. But, it is heading in the wrong direction. When it comes to domestic production of consumer goods, they have almost no domestic production. Most of their consumer goods are imported from China with no other nation importing more from China. Their education system ranks 31 out of 79 nations evaluated for 2021. For health care, they rank 27th in the world and it is almost exclusively ran in a for profit manner. It is not a human right there. However, the United States of America is still number one with the number of citizens that attend school, on the planet. For censorship and editing of history, speech, and general conversation, they rank unusually low for a modern nation. This was credited to their heavily censored internet and their version of history. I cross referenced a lot of findings with many statistical websites, for both the nation I reside and the United States of America because of watching this video. Since I was looking up the United States of America, and I was already at a statistical website, I had to look at mine as well. I still enjoyed the video. It was great.
@@stibbo There are too may to list. Start with the world indexes. World freedom index, currency index, and others. Some may require a VPN depending on the nation you reside. Start with the World Freedom Index. There are likely links to the other statistical websites there. There are where I reside. I did not have to use a VPN for the World Freedom Index. If you do not reside in the United States of America, look at your nation's rankings. It may surprise you. Canada ranks number four on most rankings with a few rankings on sixth. About half of consumer products are imported from China, here. The other half is mainly domestically produced.
It was his own property, that was the pun behind it, he can do that, as a capitalist, the guy who was unemployed ah what's his name he will fix the damages, lol
"When anyone preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against the other, through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives." So in other words, our modern political parties, religious institutions, and media... and I only wish we knew what to do about it.
That's the thesis statement buried at the end of the video. All this specious nonsense and blather that otherwise occurs is worthless and of no value to you or anyone else. You're wise. Make your own decisions.
@@josjos-x5s is it? America has never been a one race nation. We've always had diversity. We shared tables with the natives first, then the Africans , then the Irish, then the Italians, Chinese, eastern Europeans, Hispanics, and so on. Sure we didn't always get along but by the 90s we were all undoubtedly Americans and damn proud of it!
@@noahpaquet8357 problem is not everybody does. And at some point there were quiet about it. Then something happens due to a 3rd party and it gets blamed on a group of people who have been living there uneventfully for decades by the hate parties. And this modern simplification of issues as left wing and right wing has clustered this mess up alot.
"When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against the other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives and we know what to do about it." That's a quote that should always be remembered and applied to anyone saying why they should lead anything.
@@culturalliberator9425 Yep! Gotta say scary seeing people of this great nation declaring themselves superior because of what they believe and force it on others. Let alone abusing those based on where they were born. Like they had a choice in that. America is a nation that anyone would want to come to to work hard and improve their life and the lives of those around them!

Alignment of values in a nutshell. Very easy to demonstrate small-scale how a single company goes to shit when management's goals aren't aligned with that of the workers: you get unrealistic expectations, waste, resentment, employee getting burned out and leaving.
Companies go out of business for 3 reasons. Participating in economic oppression. Mismanagement of funds. Not participating in its employees economies. Toys R Us went out of business because of all three.
@@hobomike6935 how can companies be trusted to enforce appropriate standards of regulation themselves? And where does a social safety net get its funding if not taxation?
@@zacharyvance2365 Trust is insufficient on its own and is often exploited. The Gilded Age monopolists couldn’t be trusted and needed to be regulated; high union membership in the ‘50s gave workers security beyond mere trust. Today, regulation and substantive bargaining power are just as necessary as they were in those two time periods.

This one seems to be more of a condemnation of totalitarianism in general rather simply just being “anti-communist.” It explicitly condemns upper-class employers for favoring repressive ideologies in the hopes of suppressing labor unrest as well as working-class labourers who would support them for the opposite reason. It makes sense since this cartoon was made relatively early in the Cold War when the USA-USSR geopolitical conflict was beginning but before people understood that it would last for decades and completely subsume all global politics. It also happened just a few years after World War II, when the United States had just spent a substantial amount of blood and treasure fighting authoritarian countries where demagogues had themselves exploited fears of international communism and organised labour to seize power
When black and white workers joined together in unions, they were an unstoppable force. That's why, from the 1930s onwards, a huge push was made by moneyed interests in the South to emphasize and enforce racial segregation. White workers keeping black workers out of unions created a poor underclass that was ripe for exploitation. As time went by, the racism of whites across the US and their refusal to acknowledge and work to change the state- and capital-enforced racial subjugation of black Americans essentially perpetuated this state of affairs. The trend only really reversed in the 70s, when unions were no longer an ally of convenience of capital and extreme anti-worker legislation started passing, along with taking advantage of new free trade laws to move jobs to countries that allowed starvation wages and brutal conditions. Today, the desire to keep division continues because a united people are a capable people. Black Americans still suffer from redlining and the aftermath of decades of efforts to keep them from growing wealth and influence to equal their white peers, including the use of the Interstate Highway program to destroy black main streets, the aforementioned redlining, the War on Drugs, and programs like COINTELPRO that assassinated black leaders in the United States. Today, when people take to the streets to oppose police violence on black bodies, the response is to take more offense with the occasional crimes of property that occur at protests than to the routine discovery of white supremacists on police forces. In an entire summer of protests, not one police officer was killed in the clouds of poison they sprayed on protestors across the country, but it generated more outrage than a group of insurrectionists beating an officer's skull to pulp with a fire extinguisher inside the nation's capitol. The work is never done.
@@berniekatzroy the point still stands whatever the case. An entire summer of largely peaceful protests against police brutality (which is a threat to the entire working class) generates more outrage in the US than a crazed group of conspiracists trying to overturn the result of the presidential election in favour of a billionaire.
@@invalidopinion5384 If you believe all the riots over the summer were peaceful and no one died you're as delusional as the media not covering all the destruction caused by antifa/blm, yet choose to focus on the capitol riots only.
@@berniekatzroy I said "largely peaceful" not "entirely" or "completely" but "largely", but I would add that there were vastly more instances where the police provoked violence and killed people than "antifa" or BLM protestors did - denying that fact, that the police were vastly more violent and provocative, would be delusional (ditto right wing counter protestors). Also, the mainstream media were very negative about the protests, especially the biggest network in the country FOX, some centrist/ liberal outlets just pretended to be a little understanding whilst they quickly tried to move the conversation on before any real change could happen.
@Egg T World has been under US leadership for decades and you can see a lot of poverty in the countries that believed in the US. Poverty even in the US. It doesn't really work. SOCIAL countries seem to fail, but it due to the boicots of the US and accomplices. BLOCKAGE = GENOCIDE.
@Egg T The two are mutually opposed. Capitalism cannot perpetually coexist with democracy because democracy will lead to the masses inevitably trying to correct immense wealth disparities. See: The US's attitudes towards Central and South America, where fascist dictatorships were routinely installed specifically to protect capital. Anything that creates power hierarchies is dangerous, and likely to inevitably render those hierarchies more extreme with time.
Rather good animation, considering that this wasn't made by one of the big movie studios at the time. Shame there are no credits, though. I look forward to watching all the other pro-American propaganda films in your collection. I might even subscribe to your channel in the not too distant future.
Back then credits weren't given to students. Which is stupid because it would allow them to get a better job after leaving college. Then again the world of animation still sits in a grey area between nepotism and social elitism. The only way you are able to get a job in animation is if you know someone or if you whore yourself out online till you become popular enough to get a pitty show on a late night airing time that practically nobody will watch. It's a very self destructive industry these days and it's why we see a lack of good animation. The people given the privilege to create animated shows and movies no longer have a passion for it. They only have the passion for the money they can make and the easy life it promotes where most of the actual animation and work is given to people seated lower then them. Yet they're the ones in the credits... it's disgusting.
@@TheAllcreatorLiveArchives Considering how much work went into making this short, and in animation in general, it's rather pathetic, to say the least.
The ironic part is that despite this cartoon being over 80 years old it’s still relevant and it’s very accurate in describing what is happening now in America.
America plays an important role in the progress of the car though even if we never invented it. When it was created by the Germans, only the upper class were able to buy them. Because of Henry Ford and his invention of cheap cars and the assembly line, the car was able to be afforded by the middle class. That’s important because it’s one of the reasons the car didn’t fade into irrelevance. That sounds like it wouldn’t happen but look at the Concord. The British created it and it was the fastest commercial plane in the world and could take you to most places in the us in only around 20 minutes. Only the rich could afford it though so while a step towards progress the average person today has never heard of it because it faded into irrelevance. America being able to make a car that could be afforded by the average person IS a big deal. People forget that inventions can’t just be ground breaking in order to be profound to human progress - they HAVE to be affordable to the middle class as well in order to leave a mark in history.
Never said invented it just said his idea grew, so he could have been making a different type of vehicle or cheaper, or what the other gentleman just said 2 days ago before this comment.
Not really, it's actually got a bipartisan message for its time. It's just the definition of capitalism has changed in more recent decades as the teachings of Hayek and Friedman and their definitions of the free market have become more dominant compared to the less laissez-faire definitions set down by Keynes that were more popular at the time. Independent, certainly, but Harding College was full of political and ideological contradictions at the time.
@@digenesakritas1107 Yeah, that is the natural progression of capitalism. It's in the rational self interest of corporations and those who fund and own them to gain as much power as possible, to gain as much favourable treatment as possible for their profit making ventures. I don't know why this is such an outlandish concept to pro-capitalists, capitalism leads to crony capitalism, it leads to plutocracy and to oligarchy. Such is the nature of capitalism.
The idea of being divided by certain differences is probably the biggest thing today society needs to hear from this. Lots of people dislike the idea of communism today, but most people today fight purely because of difference (on both sides)
@@michaelmeliambro5117 North Koreans and Chinese do not like socialism. They are just forced to endure it. There's a reason China banned currency conversion for more than 50k a year, because otherwise everyone will flee to the US.

Excessive capitalism leads to monopolies. Companies controlling the lives of their employees using pressure on social media. Then they buy out politicalans ... how is that not also a form of "ISM"? Don't worship money
Ironically it lists the ability to strike as a lost freedom, when nowadays unions and strikes are seen as markers of communism. Times have changed in that billionaires now have a 0% tax rate and Amazon truck drivers relieve themselves in plastic bottles. Not to mention, it's the socialist nations that have the highest education levels, which is also listed as a benefit of capitalism in this vid.
@@gen.washington1893 lol they don't even tell u what communism is ! it's a silly cartoon propagating lies, it's not some deep dive into what capitalism or communism really are. this video boils down to communism evil, capitalism good with no explanation. the "facts" in the video are just things they want u to assume are true by doing no further research than "commie bad"

Have you ever heard of Neo-Liberalism? Y'all folks drank something. My country did in 2013 when we kicked the Labor government out in an election in which the opposition were very much propped up by the big capitalists. Why? Because of the way the ultra rich can manufacture the consent of the people through lies. Australia in 2013 was the 13th least corrupt country on Earth. In 2022 when we got rid of the Liberal government, we were placed 19th in the world. What a disgrace. And that data comes from OPEC, an international organisation that facilitates the trade of fossil fuels. And the Liberal government were fossil fools and the Ex-PM even held up coal in parliament and said: "This is coal! It can't hurt you!" He is no longer Prime Minister. Because now Australia has woken up from its coma called Neo-Liberalism. And our education to aged care, and healthcare are all in shambles. Even before covid, or the Bushfires. America has been sold Neo-Liberalism since Reagan. Do not be fooled.
To be honest I wouldn’t say this bit is limited to communism, but honestly capitalism too. Cause after all, look what happened to capitalist Russia once Yeltsin resigned
@@edwardgaines6561 a lot of stuff I've seen from this time has had an anti facism and communism message plus this was made 1948 so nazis were fresh in the nation's memory
That is Sweden as of today (2022). "Everything is fine" - no matter what ever happens, everything is always fine. :/ Working to get out of here with my family. Aiming for the US.
And this was in 1948 as well. Late enough that outright violence was seldom an option for companies (unless the workers were black, of course), but they had plenty of other means. Hiring PIs to infiltrate the workforce and identify organisers, then firing them. Calling on favors from police to arrest union leaders. Establishing fake unions, headed by people who would do as management asked. This was only a few years after the animators strike, when Walt Disney was working with the FBI to investigate union activity as potentially the work of Soviet agitators and having employees thrown in prison as foreign agents.
As a Turkish who is suffering from the statism in my society i find that cartoon as wonderful. I wish that our society would've the same values as the American peoples even although nowadays it is a little bit corrupted and totaliterians is growing in US.
@@gorkem3620 Well, I wasn't correcting your English (I am also not from the west and English isn't my native language) but Statism is generally used by libertarians who confuse communism/socialism with state-monopoly-capitalism (here, Capitalism is used to refer marxist-conception of it). There is a lot of propaganda against anti-capitalism as it tries to snatch away the power of the ruling, so be aware. This term being one of them. Turkey isn't socialist/communist but it is rather a neo-fascist state, capitalism gives rise to fascism. Watch that turk streamer named 'Hasanabi' to know more about communism/socialism.

Unfortunately, we are already past the part of throwing bottles. Let's hope the violence doesn't go much further, this is stupid enough as it is. In the past, ambushing the police would have been big news. Now, in my state, a police ambush only made local news. The riots on both sides are just sad. This is stupid.
@Lazys The Dank Engineer I've heard one person argue that things picked up due to people feeling isolated by the Patriot Act. Not sure how true that is, however, I was still a child at the time. From what I have learned of the 80s, I strongly suspect the commercialization of news networks in the 80s played a significant role. That's about when things start really getting polarized. I mean, you also have the hippies of the 60s, but by the 70s things seem to have calmed down quite a bit, especially once the US pulled out of Vietnam. At the end of the day, I haven't studied this thoroughly. But these are my speculations based on what I know, anyway.
@Lazys The Dank Engineer Ronald Reagan was a symptom, not a cause. He represents a kind of synthesis of the worst aspects of the United States given form. He was thoroughly racist, thoroughly sexist, and thoroughly homophobic. He created the modern US southern border, which was previously much more fluid and thus far less destructive. He oversaw the intensification of the War on Drugs and the devastation it created at home and abroad. He destroyed regulations that protected Americans. And he did so all because his base demanded it of him. Personally, I think that the current wave of protests over the summer actually shows the US is *improving*. It shows people are willing to go out there and put their bodies on the line for what they want. They're getting doused in poison and risking violent beatings and arrest just for speaking out about what they believe in. They're forming community action groups to provide for people in need and developing effective direct action to protect vulnerable people. When the wildfires happened, right-wing militias tried to stop people from fleeing the flames, while all those protest groups in Portland and other cities provided people with food, clean water, shelter, clothing, etc. When the Texas ice-storm happened and Reagan's ideological descendants quite literally left their people to freeze, these same groups raised millions of dollars and raced to the rescue. People are getting organized! And together, those groups are making real strides.
@@Axelgear2006 I have. I remember the trucker that was unjustly attacked when protesters flooded the streets before they could be blocked off. BLM police ambushes are only making local headlines, and attacks on ambulances go unaddressed entirely. There is inequality, inequality of press. But that doesn't change the fact that the ambushes, murder, and indirect killings by interference with ambulances needs to stop. It doesn't matter who.
The police would proceed to beat the man and search his house unlawfully. Upon an internal affairs review they were completely justified as the man was not cooperating.
@@АндрейТимаков-я5в Dude, this is literally what USSR was, at the very least at the time the cartoon was made, what are you talking about? Unions were under governments control, hundreds of thousands of people had their property taken away from them, kolhozy were a colossal failure, and if you dared to disrespect the government you would mysteriously disappear. There are also countless purges, atrocities and crushed revolutions not shown in the cartoon, although they probably should have been. I would have argued a bit more, but judging by your nickname I assume Stalin is your go-to f@p material, so there would be no point.
If you were an Alien... observing human beings... this is what you’d see: • Karl Marx writes his memoirs about the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat • He becomes kinda famous • People like his work, because it suggests an idea for a better world • In the early 1900s a man named Vladimir Lenin starts the most famous Marxist rebellion, the Bolshevik Revolution. • Lenin and other Bolsheviks slaughter innocent people they view as bourgeoisie. They overthrow the government. • Stalin is eventually put into power, and plans for more expansion. • Stalin puts his eyes on Kulaks. Kulaks were former serfs who were emancipated and now owned farms and paid labor. • Stalin convinces townspeople to attack the Kulaks, saying they’re evil bourgeoisie, and the townspeople were the good proletariat. • All those who oppose Stalin are either killed or put into concentration camps. Millions are killed in Stalin’s wake. • Not only do millions of people die from Stalin’s genocide, even more die from starvation, as a result of the failures of communism. • The only thing holding the economy up was a system of forced labor/concentration camps called the Gulags, which eventually couldn’t hold the Soviet economy. • One prisoner in the Gulags was a man named Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who documented the horrors of the Soviet Union and the failures of Communism. • Meanwhile other nations such as China, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. are undergoing Marxist revolution. Even more millions of people die. Mao Zedong, leader of the Chinese Communist revolution, kills hundreds of millions of innocent people to preserve his revolution. All of these nations inevitably failed or transitioned to a different system. • Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn defects, and published his book, titled the Gulag Archipelago. Where he incessantly details how horrific the Soviet Union and communism is. The Gulag Archipelago is seen by millions throughout the western world. The west is disillusioned about communism. • The Soviet Union eventually collapses. • “The west is disillusioned about communism” Nope • Communism still has supporters • These supporters call for communist revolution in the Americas • Support for communism and socialism has mainstream support • These groups slowly grow tfw no one learns their lesson
@@dogol284 To accuse humanity of not knowing the lessons of history, you need to know them by yourself. In your comment, you missed a lot of facts about the achievements of the Soviet Union. As for the victims of the regime, this is a common thing for any state. Both Marx and Lenin wrote in their writings that any state is an instrument of violence by someone over someone. Therefore, the main task of the Communists is to take power away from the minority (the bourgeoisie) at the first stage and give it to the majority (the workers). After that, the second stage of the socialist state begins - social relations should be improved in order to get rid of the state at a certain point (at this point, communism comes). If you are really interested in the topic, then read "The State and the Revolution" by Lenin. And as a person from Russia, I do not advise you to refer to Solzhenitsyn. In our country, he is known as one of the biggest liars, and his work was criticized many times after the collapse of the USSR
@@dogol284 you would also see capitalists selling fellow humans into slavery, forcing children to work in factories and mines, pharmaceutical companies charging exorbitant amounts for necessary and life saving medicine, millions of people enslaved by the for profit prison system, millions put into thousands of dollars in debt at a young age so that they can "compete" in the job market, people being left on the street and dying from exposure, Jeff bezos taking in billions while his employees work 2-3 jobs to stay alive, people dying to preventable disease because they cannot afford health insurance, "illegal" immigrants forming an underclass that can work for less than citizens, exploitation of labor in other countries, I could go on.
@@douchopotamus3755 The majority of the things you listed have and will occur in all systems, not just capitalism. I agree that pharmaceuticals are far too expensive. Communism is absolutely not a solution to that. The solution is to enact proper regulation. I think we should enact regulation where pharmaceuticals are much more affordable, while people can still pay for a higher standard if they have the means. I agree that student loans are scammy, but it’s not the fault of capitalism that people can’t read the fine print. It’s a shame if you can’t afford university, but you should know what you’re getting into when you sign up for student loans. Believe it or not, I don’t like arguing with people on the internet. I’d like to keep this conversation to a minimum, if continued at all. I’m very tired.
@@dogol284 the good thing about internet conversations by post is that you can come back to them later. Socialization of these industries is absolutely the way to prevent price gouging and the student loan crisis because as a society we will be paying off those costs as opposed for the costs being laid onto the individual. With stricter regulation on pricing we can end the pharmaceutical companies price gouging. With community supported education more people will be able to go to college and pursue meaningful employment. While I agree that things like child labor CAN happen in a socialist/ communist society it is much less likely to because people will have more power over both the government and the 'company' they work for. Just like mercantilism before it, Capitalism was a step in an ever progressing economic history, we are reaching a point where it is no longer viable for a majority of citizens and we need protections from corporations. Ask yourself, during the 2008 financial crisis, was it a good thing that the government bailed out failing auto and banking industries? Could the money have been better spent providing those workers with a safety net that they can fall back on when their employers fail them?
Yes agreed, it people have a problem with that try some other countries, say possibly China, Russia, Cuba, Korea, Venezuela or the Middle East. They'll probably be back here pretty soon. Freedom is never free, may God bless those who sacrificed everything for us. We are forever grateful for them.🙏🇺🇸

All of the symbols inherent to religions point to the same concepts, for any religion to claim some ultimate truth is just like a dog chasing its tail. So, truth is, it doesn’t matter what they say.
@@eyeexaggerate7687 The problem is that all of those religions make contradictory claims, so it's impossible for them all to be true - for one to be right, all the others must be varying degrees of wrong. And the follows disagree, often to the point of violence, over which one that is.
I am all for liberty and freedom, however the one freedom i am vehemently against is the freedom of Religion, it should not be freedom of religion but rather freedom from religion. Religion by its very nature, especially Abrahamic Faiths like Christianity and Islam are proselytizing and they always seek to gain more followers and push their ideology onto politics. To the point where the faith is inseparable from the state. Secularism has to be enforced otherwise religious zealots will destroy all the other freedoms from within.
@@Quark214 Enforced secularism just becomes the new tyranny. You're enforcing another "single truth" and you are most certainly pushing an ideology into politics.

Yeah, under capitalism ownership and control over the economy is literally decided by a small unelected minority. If you don't like your local representative, you can change that. But if you don't like what a giant monopolistic company like Google, Twitter or Facebook is doing,... change is a lot harder.
@@frocco7125, exactly! It is so frustratingly stupid when people say that saying “democratic socialism” is like saying “democratic Nazism” even though socialism is about an economy controlled by the people as oppose to a tiny, unelected and unaccountable minority.
It's a fun little cartoon but be careful about the message it brings: the fact that the workers basically ask for better conditions with workers rights and other forms of protection was (and unfortunately still IS in America) seen as something bad and negative. It is not a coincidence the fact that the salesman is called "Dr. Utopia": it is a subtle message to make you believe that workers rights are impossible to achieve in a stable and prosperous society. The fact that a country produces more doesn't mean that everybody is fine economically, not everybody can invent things or accumulate capital and if they do it is not guaranteed that they will succed. It is right to educate people about what communism really is and it is fairly normal for the time of this cartoon to confuse simple socialism with the far more radical communism, but it's worrying that even today in the US most people seriously think that government intervention is ALWAYS bad. This stance was abandoned by Europe decades ago, even before the fall of the USSR and with better protection towards workers the standard of living has improved. This cartoon doesn't say that. It TRIES to stay neutral, but at the end the workers simply reject the idea of better protection instead of saying something like:"Ok communism is actually fucked up, but what about we try to do those reforms by ourselves?" The cartoon fails to stay neutral even before this event: "...the freedom to do the job you like" Most of the times you can't simply "choose" your dream work. Sometimes you have to study very hard (and that takes money you might not have), sometimes the market simply won't hire you (not because they're "evil", but because they simply don't need more workers right now in that field), sometimes you have to put time and effort to invest in your dream profession but you have to work in another job to feed your family and that takes up all of your avaiable time. The point the cartoon makes is true: don't trust people who promise you a Utopia, but try to consider the other side of the coin too: don't trust people who tell you that your claims and rights are "impossible to achieve". To make the world a better place takes effort and time, a LOT of time, there is no magic "instant rights" bottle, therefore you should NEVER polarize your opinions in such important matters.
The meaning of the cartoon is that workers need to unite with their employers and work for the good of society. Only here it is overlooked that the interests of the worker and the employer do not coincide. The worker wants to work less time and earn more money. The employer wants employees to work more hours and earn less money. This is the class struggle in the understanding of Marxism. Communism is what happens if the workers win. Capitalism is what happens when employers win. Such a simplified understanding for those who do not understand what communism is. The dictatorship shown in the cartoon is not necessary under communism. Dictatorship can also exist under capitalism.
@@FpV-Pilot I agree, even though "capitalist dictatorship" could be, in some forms, identified as plain fascism. I do believe though there can be a compromise
@@simpleconcept3698 Finding a compromise is impossible. It is a constant struggle between the exploited and the exploiters.

Interesting how the propaganda works only with abstract concepts instead of material conditions. The state is represented as some sort of otherworld entity instead of a human creation representing the interests of one class or another.
I live in a country mired in statism and socialism, and the state is as powerful as a gigantic Leviathan, which plunges you into poverty every time with the false promise of equality. Even LGBT people don't agree with the government when they try to use people's money for them, because they don't even bother to know exactly what these people want, it's just an excuse. LGBT doesn't bother me, but it should be something external to politics, importance should be given to it but should not be mixed with politics, and as for the economy, everything should look for the pragmatic, the most convenient for people, and that It is capitalism since it is not perfect, but you can invest in yourself, save and it lets you be independent and free. You have to make an effort but it's worth it, in other systems or they decide for you and you're getting worse, and etc. The only path is freedom. I admire the warm-hearted and warm-hearted socialists, but their system just doesn't work, and I'm sick of seeing my neighbors and my entire community suffer for this. The USA has been so successful in entertainment, and I know that my country if it were capitalist could become more recognized and be able to get talented people to invest in themselves to do all kinds of entertainment. And not only that, but the essential stuff can be fulfilled.

Capitalism vs Communism aside, I really like how the Cartoon points out how easy it is for someone to take advantage of division in order to promote themselves.
Too bad that this propaganda was developed to defend the interest of a settler colonial state founded off the genocide of Native Americans, the mass enslavement of millions of Africans, and constant imperialist violence on a global scale. When it says "When anybody preaches disunity, tries to put one of us against the other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance", the particular people they are referencing are black and brown people that challenged the white supremacist capitalist empire that was and is the United States. The villain in the cartoon is quite literally a racial stereotype; while all of the "heroes" are entirely white. When they say "race hatred", they're referring to criticism against the white settler population. And that's quite evident through the fact that Eugenics was specifically invented in the United States; and that Hitler took direct inspiration for the Holocaust and Lebensraum from the United States's massacre of Native Americans during "Manifest Destiny".

They are barely a 15 on the scale today. That qualifies as fair. This is in the world population review. This is the highest of the three rankings that usually does not require a VPN to access, in most nations. Their currency in 2015 ranked number 3. That, also, is excellent. Today, they rank number 10, which is still quite respectable. But, it is heading in the wrong direction. When it comes to domestic production of consumer goods, they have almost no domestic production. Most of their consumer goods are imported from China with no other nation importing more from China. Their education system ranks 31 out of 79 nations evaluated for 2021. For health care, they rank 27th in the world and it is almost exclusively ran in a for profit manner. It is not a human right there. However, the United States of America is still number one with the number of citizens that attend school, on the planet. For censorship and editing of history, speech, and general conversation, they rank unusually low for a modern nation. This was credited to their heavily censored internet and their version of history. I cross referenced a lot of findings with many statistical websites, for both the nation I reside and the United States of America because of watching this video. Since I was looking up the United States of America, and I was already at a statistical website, I had to look at mine as well. I still enjoyed the video. It was great.

This one seems to be more of a condemnation of totalitarianism in general rather simply just being “anti-communist.” It explicitly condemns upper-class employers for favoring repressive ideologies in the hopes of suppressing labor unrest as well as working-class labourers who would support them for the opposite reason. It makes sense since this cartoon was made relatively early in the Cold War when the USA-USSR geopolitical conflict was beginning but before people understood that it would last for decades and completely subsume all global politics. It also happened just a few years after World War II, when the United States had just spent a substantial amount of blood and treasure fighting authoritarian countries where demagogues had themselves exploited fears of international communism and organised labour to seize power

When black and white workers joined together in unions, they were an unstoppable force. That's why, from the 1930s onwards, a huge push was made by moneyed interests in the South to emphasize and enforce racial segregation. White workers keeping black workers out of unions created a poor underclass that was ripe for exploitation.
As time went by, the racism of whites across the US and their refusal to acknowledge and work to change the state- and capital-enforced racial subjugation of black Americans essentially perpetuated this state of affairs. The trend only really reversed in the 70s, when unions were no longer an ally of convenience of capital and extreme anti-worker legislation started passing, along with taking advantage of new free trade laws to move jobs to countries that allowed starvation wages and brutal conditions.
Today, the desire to keep division continues because a united people are a capable people. Black Americans still suffer from redlining and the aftermath of decades of efforts to keep them from growing wealth and influence to equal their white peers, including the use of the Interstate Highway program to destroy black main streets, the aforementioned redlining, the War on Drugs, and programs like COINTELPRO that assassinated black leaders in the United States. Today, when people take to the streets to oppose police violence on black bodies, the response is to take more offense with the occasional crimes of property that occur at protests than to the routine discovery of white supremacists on police forces. In an entire summer of protests, not one police officer was killed in the clouds of poison they sprayed on protestors across the country, but it generated more outrage than a group of insurrectionists beating an officer's skull to pulp with a fire extinguisher inside the nation's capitol.

America plays an important role in the progress of the car though even if we never invented it. When it was created by the Germans, only the upper class were able to buy them. Because of Henry Ford and his invention of cheap cars and the assembly line, the car was able to be afforded by the middle class. That’s important because it’s one of the reasons the car didn’t fade into irrelevance.
That sounds like it wouldn’t happen but look at the Concord. The British created it and it was the fastest commercial plane in the world and could take you to most places in the us in only around 20 minutes. Only the rich could afford it though so while a step towards progress the average person today has never heard of it because it faded into irrelevance.

Y'all folks drank something. My country did in 2013 when we kicked the Labor government out in an election in which the opposition were very much propped up by the big capitalists. Why? Because of the way the ultra rich can manufacture the consent of the people through lies.
Australia in 2013 was the 13th least corrupt country on Earth. In 2022 when we got rid of the Liberal government, we were placed 19th in the world.
What a disgrace. And that data comes from OPEC, an international organisation that facilitates the trade of fossil fuels. And the Liberal government were fossil fools and the Ex-PM even held up coal in parliament and said: "This is coal! It can't hurt you!"

Working to get out of here with my family. Aiming for the US.
Love how they included the bit about Unions and Striking in the US when historically the US has been notorious for Union busting.
And this was in 1948 as well. Late enough that outright violence was seldom an option for companies (unless the workers were black, of course), but they had plenty of other means. Hiring PIs to infiltrate the workforce and identify organisers, then firing them. Calling on favors from police to arrest union leaders. Establishing fake unions, headed by people who would do as management asked. This was only a few years after the animators strike, when Walt Disney was working with the FBI to investigate union activity as potentially the work of Soviet agitators and having employees thrown in prison as foreign agents.
Yeah 💀

@Lazys The Dank Engineer I've heard one person argue that things picked up due to people feeling isolated by the Patriot Act. Not sure how true that is, however, I was still a child at the time.
From what I have learned of the 80s, I strongly suspect the commercialization of news networks in the 80s played a significant role. That's about when things start really getting polarized. I mean, you also have the hippies of the 60s, but by the 70s things seem to have calmed down quite a bit, especially once the US pulled out of Vietnam.
At the end of the day, I haven't studied this thoroughly. But these are my speculations based on what I know, anyway.
@Lazys The Dank Engineer Ronald Reagan was a symptom, not a cause. He represents a kind of synthesis of the worst aspects of the United States given form. He was thoroughly racist, thoroughly sexist, and thoroughly homophobic. He created the modern US southern border, which was previously much more fluid and thus far less destructive. He oversaw the intensification of the War on Drugs and the devastation it created at home and abroad. He destroyed regulations that protected Americans.
And he did so all because his base demanded it of him.
Personally, I think that the current wave of protests over the summer actually shows the US is *improving*. It shows people are willing to go out there and put their bodies on the line for what they want. They're getting doused in poison and risking violent beatings and arrest just for speaking out about what they believe in. They're forming community action groups to provide for people in need and developing effective direct action to protect vulnerable people. When the wildfires happened, right-wing militias tried to stop people from fleeing the flames, while all those protest groups in Portland and other cities provided people with food, clean water, shelter, clothing, etc. When the Texas ice-storm happened and Reagan's ideological descendants quite literally left their people to freeze, these same groups raised millions of dollars and raced to the rescue.
People are getting organized! And together, those groups are making real strides.

• Lenin and other Bolsheviks slaughter innocent people they view as bourgeoisie. They overthrow the government.
• Stalin is eventually put into power, and plans for more expansion.
• Stalin puts his eyes on Kulaks. Kulaks were former serfs who were emancipated and now owned farms and paid labor.
• Stalin convinces townspeople to attack the Kulaks, saying they’re evil bourgeoisie, and the townspeople were the good proletariat.
• All those who oppose Stalin are either killed or put into concentration camps. Millions are killed in Stalin’s wake.
• Not only do millions of people die from Stalin’s genocide, even more die from starvation, as a result of the failures of communism.
• The only thing holding the economy up was a system of forced labor/concentration camps called the Gulags, which eventually couldn’t hold the Soviet economy.
• One prisoner in the Gulags was a man named Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who documented the horrors of the Soviet Union and the failures of Communism.
• Meanwhile other nations such as China, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc. are undergoing Marxist revolution. Even more millions of people die. Mao Zedong, leader of the Chinese Communist revolution, kills hundreds of millions of innocent people to preserve his revolution. All of these nations inevitably failed or transitioned to a different system.
• Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn defects, and published his book, titled the Gulag Archipelago. Where he incessantly details how horrific the Soviet Union and communism is. The Gulag Archipelago is seen by millions throughout the western world. The west is disillusioned about communism.
• The Soviet Union eventually collapses.
• “The west is disillusioned about communism” Nope
• Communism still has supporters
• These supporters call for communist revolution in the Americas
• Support for communism and socialism has mainstream support
• These groups slowly grow

@@dogol284 To accuse humanity of not knowing the lessons of history, you need to know them by yourself. In your comment, you missed a lot of facts about the achievements of the Soviet Union. As for the victims of the regime, this is a common thing for any state. Both Marx and Lenin wrote in their writings that any state is an instrument of violence by someone over someone. Therefore, the main task of the Communists is to take power away from the minority (the bourgeoisie) at the first stage and give it to the majority (the workers). After that, the second stage of the socialist state begins - social relations should be improved in order to get rid of the state at a certain point (at this point, communism comes). If you are really interested in the topic, then read "The State and the Revolution" by Lenin.
And as a person from Russia, I do not advise you to refer to Solzhenitsyn. In our country, he is known as one of the biggest liars, and his work was criticized many times after the collapse of the USSR
@@dogol284 you would also see capitalists selling fellow humans into slavery, forcing children to work in factories and mines, pharmaceutical companies charging exorbitant amounts for necessary and life saving medicine, millions of people enslaved by the for profit prison system, millions put into thousands of dollars in debt at a young age so that they can "compete" in the job market, people being left on the street and dying from exposure, Jeff bezos taking in billions while his employees work 2-3 jobs to stay alive, people dying to preventable disease because they cannot afford health insurance, "illegal" immigrants forming an underclass that can work for less than citizens, exploitation of labor in other countries, I could go on.
@@douchopotamus3755 The majority of the things you listed have and will occur in all systems, not just capitalism.
I agree that pharmaceuticals are far too expensive. Communism is absolutely not a solution to that. The solution is to enact proper regulation. I think we should enact regulation where pharmaceuticals are much more affordable, while people can still pay for a higher standard if they have the means.
I agree that student loans are scammy, but it’s not the fault of capitalism that people can’t read the fine print. It’s a shame if you can’t afford university, but you should know what you’re getting into when you sign up for student loans.
Believe it or not, I don’t like arguing with people on the internet. I’d like to keep this conversation to a minimum, if continued at all. I’m very tired.
@@dogol284 the good thing about internet conversations by post is that you can come back to them later.
Socialization of these industries is absolutely the way to prevent price gouging and the student loan crisis because as a society we will be paying off those costs as opposed for the costs being laid onto the individual. With stricter regulation on pricing we can end the pharmaceutical companies price gouging. With community supported education more people will be able to go to college and pursue meaningful employment.
While I agree that things like child labor CAN happen in a socialist/ communist society it is much less likely to because people will have more power over both the government and the 'company' they work for.
Just like mercantilism before it, Capitalism was a step in an ever progressing economic history, we are reaching a point where it is no longer viable for a majority of citizens and we need protections from corporations. Ask yourself, during the 2008 financial crisis, was it a good thing that the government bailed out failing auto and banking industries? Could the money have been better spent providing those workers with a safety net that they can fall back on when their employers fail them?
Interesting how things turned out since then.

I am all for liberty and freedom, however the one freedom i am vehemently against is the freedom of Religion, it should not be freedom of religion but rather freedom from religion. Religion by its very nature, especially Abrahamic Faiths like Christianity and Islam are proselytizing and they always seek to gain more followers and push their ideology onto politics. To the point where the faith is inseparable from the state. Secularism has to be enforced otherwise religious zealots will destroy all the other freedoms from within.
@@Quark214 Enforced secularism just becomes the new tyranny. You're enforcing another "single truth" and you are most certainly pushing an ideology into politics.

“Protection against cruel punishment and excessive fines.” Sounds like bullshit
It's a fun little cartoon but be careful about the message it brings: the fact that the workers basically ask for better conditions with workers rights and other forms of protection was (and unfortunately still IS in America) seen as something bad and negative. It is not a coincidence the fact that the salesman is called "Dr. Utopia": it is a subtle message to make you believe that workers rights are impossible to achieve in a stable and prosperous society. The fact that a country produces more doesn't mean that everybody is fine economically, not everybody can invent things or accumulate capital and if they do it is not guaranteed that they will succed.
It is right to educate people about what communism really is and it is fairly normal for the time of this cartoon to confuse simple socialism with the far more radical communism, but it's worrying that even today in the US most people seriously think that government intervention is ALWAYS bad. This stance was abandoned by Europe decades ago, even before the fall of the USSR and with better protection towards workers the standard of living has improved.
This cartoon doesn't say that. It TRIES to stay neutral, but at the end the workers simply reject the idea of better protection instead of saying something like:"Ok communism is actually fucked up, but what about we try to do those reforms by ourselves?" The cartoon fails to stay neutral even before this event: "...the freedom to do the job you like" Most of the times you can't simply "choose" your dream work. Sometimes you have to study very hard (and that takes money you might not have), sometimes the market simply won't hire you (not because they're "evil", but because they simply don't need more workers right now in that field), sometimes you have to put time and effort to invest in your dream profession but you have to work in another job to feed your family and that takes up all of your avaiable time.
The point the cartoon makes is true: don't trust people who promise you a Utopia, but try to consider the other side of the coin too: don't trust people who tell you that your claims and rights are "impossible to achieve". To make the world a better place takes effort and time, a LOT of time, there is no magic "instant rights" bottle, therefore you should NEVER polarize your opinions in such important matters.
The meaning of the cartoon is that workers need to unite with their employers and work for the good of society. Only here it is overlooked that the interests of the worker and the employer do not coincide. The worker wants to work less time and earn more money. The employer wants employees to work more hours and earn less money. This is the class struggle in the understanding of Marxism. Communism is what happens if the workers win. Capitalism is what happens when employers win. Such a simplified understanding for those who do not understand what communism is.
The dictatorship shown in the cartoon is not necessary under communism. Dictatorship can also exist under capitalism.

I live in a country mired in statism and socialism, and the state is as powerful as a gigantic Leviathan, which plunges you into poverty every time with the false promise of equality. Even LGBT people don't agree with the government when they try to use people's money for them, because they don't even bother to know exactly what these people want, it's just an excuse. LGBT doesn't bother me, but it should be something external to politics, importance should be given to it but should not be mixed with politics, and as for the economy, everything should look for the pragmatic, the most convenient for people, and that It is capitalism since it is not perfect, but you can invest in yourself, save and it lets you be independent and free. You have to make an effort but it's worth it, in other systems or they decide for you and you're getting worse, and etc. The only path is freedom.
I admire the warm-hearted and warm-hearted socialists, but their system just doesn't work, and I'm sick of seeing my neighbors and my entire community suffer for this. The USA has been so successful in entertainment, and I know that my country if it were capitalist could become more recognized and be able to get talented people to invest in themselves to do all kinds of entertainment. And not only that, but the essential stuff can be fulfilled.
This aged very well.
I'm glad so many people find this children's cartoon inspiring.
This is about how capitalism slaves you
I think the right ism you are looking for is communism. Communism makes you a slave to the state.
@@planderlinde1969 There is no state in communism. If you mean soviet union it was socialist country.
Liberty Prime's favorite show as a child
Patton realized we fought the wrong people. Now we pay the price
Yeah it’s too bad he was betrayed by his own country
7:19 I can only imagine the face of stalin on the giant furry monster during this part.
sub to me n like my montage.
Boo
What furry monster?
@@anemu3819 Alf.
Hard to imagine folks new many years ago what we would be going through, but then again history repeats itself. Of course if you don’t know history then it’s hard to know….
2:16 either they're hobbits or Dr. Utopia is slender man
This 1948 cartoon is truer now more than ever. 11/5/2024 was basically 8:43 in live action. An American awakening, and wholesale repudiation of the Marxist left.
Lol. Capitalism is apparently not an “ism” 😅🤦♂️
@@jacobitedynamite Ah yes, just insult the ones who disagree with you and you don't have to refute any claims.
"It's all races, creeds, and religions." Yeah, but only in that one single brief frame of the entire film.
One of the main characters is Jewish
@@ric270 Which one?
Why does the Anti-Fascist one have more dislikes than the Anti-Communist one 💀
How do you see dislikes? TH-cam removed them 3 years ago
well, i think there's nothing to wonder
5:20 Love how they depict the capitalist as a friendly gent who just wants to help, holding out a big bag of money. In reality, of course, he expects to sit back and suck up 30% of the little guy's business forever in return for that bag of money. They left that part out. I wonder why?
It's pro capitalist propaganda It's pretty obvious
Yes! I totally agree!! To hades with this dangerous ISM!! I'll give my all to defend Good Ol' America and its Capitalism
Wait... Capital-...FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Woah is this a joke about how capitalism has ism in its name?
Sounds like a commie to me
Wasn't Marx the one who made up the term capitalism?
@Lazys The Dank Engineer i didn't mean he invented capitalism i meant he invented the word.
@@chickenflavor9880 no, the word long predates Marx.
@@chickenflavor9880 Marx rarely even used the term, using terms like "the capitalist mode of production" more often, in Capital at least. The word "capitalist" predates the word "capitalism" by a lot, just fyi.
