An animated anti-communist film produced by the US in 1948. This is funny stuff and the quality of the animation considering it was produced by a college is absolutly awesome. Enjoy!
"Every American was racist. There is no other opinion that existed at that time." You do realise that this was made by college students, right? One of the leading groups of the Civil Rights movement was in fact college students. They even had a major organisation called the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC for short).
The Colleges that made the SNCC and this video were in different states. The SNCC was in Shaw university of North Carolina and Harding University leaders in Arkansas supported segregation.
@ Gryffin DarkBreed Oh my, now you guys don't even bother comming up with poor analogies anymore. They weren't hated, what a joke.. they couldn't even go to the same bathroom that you did, they were killed trying to register for vote, they had to go to different schools and public places so white people wouldn't have to face them. Fuck white people.
pretty much all that at once. NWO's on the rise, not only in the US. (no evil nazi-commie illuminati from outer space involved here, just get the big picture.) just look at how the mentalities changed the past 5, 6 years. SJWs and their cultural marxism, delocalization, destruction of values that granted to all an equal treatment and freedom from religion, and I'm telling that from an european's point of view. from what i saw the US is getting close to the same situation or worse ( just hope for you Trump's gonna make it) sure the EU does a lot for corporations, but that doesn't means it's really a capitalist, free market - it's socialism, when any private company gets money from the government, when the media are all under control of a few supergiants, giving no choice for the population being dumbed-down, it's the next step, it's not liberalism, it's the complete base of communism.
The problem is that those instructions can never be followed. Ignoring the facts that communism bankrupts countries and its impossible to be totally equal, in order for communism to properly work it requires for all involved to be selfless and honest... Qualities that most human beings lack, to say nothing of your average politician.
***** Two words: Soviet Union. Then again most humans lack things humans should have, that is why so many politicians are like that. Also: "Western" politician? Since when are the politicians of different countries any different?
+Der Fruchttee Western means western culture. There are plenty of places all around the world that can be called western, such as islands in the Caribbean, certain parts in South America, Australia and New Zealand.
Better being tazed then disappearing one night to never be found again just because you said the party leader is an idiot a little to loud so your child heard it.
Traditional European Yes. Call the people who go out risking life and limb every day to enforce the law and keep the peace pigs because a few black people resisted arrest and got themselves killed for it. I could bring up the statistics on black on black homicide or about how out of all the people killed by cops, 51% are white and only 26% are black (still horrible numbers either way) but I figure you’d just ignore them or call me a nazi or something because these don’t fit your world view. Go race bait somewhere else you pathetic excuse for a human being.
Ivy Bones Yeah if capitalism was a person, they would be an all-around nice dude that has some flaws but understands that and is great to hang out with. Communism is the guy spreading bullshit lies to everyone and sees himself as perfect, although he's far from it.

Cthulhu's grandson I know, even when it’s labeled propaganda. Those people probably think that everyone wants to come to the US because it’s not communist or socialist and no one wants to leave and that anyone who doesn’t love the US is a communist. I once heard someone say that “Everyone loves the USA and that’s the objective truth.”
I really want to think all of the "Communism = starvation, Communism = Fascism in another name or Communism is the definition of Death and suffer are just all memes... But no... These people are really thinking that way.

Hey all you seemingly pro Communism people, go live in a communist country first before you try to ruin America; then decide. Oh sorry, it's not that I'm trying to get you killed, just trying not to get everyone killed is all.
Propaganda: information used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. Political correctness: elevation of feelings over facts, "the truth doesn't matter because I feel this way" While communism may sound great in theory in practice it creates a horrifying dystopia. Under capitalism you have the freedom to support communism. Under communism you would have no freedom to support capitalism. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Un-Ironic Productions 😂. Tell this a african, indian,chinese, and so on kid. U take the money for a better life than they have. Communism gives everyone equal chances rights and so on
Extremes meet, all aimed at stopping the civil liberties of the people in the name of something, the State, the Church, other people (the common good). It's very important to value the Freedom that even allows the free expression of those who don't value it. I write from Venezuela, a country with a neo-communist regime since 1999, fighting for Freedom.
+Fredfredbug4 Well, Mussolini himself admitted once that his Fascist ideology, which would also later inspire the Nazi ideology, was based into Socialism ideas (something lefties are too butthurt sometimes to admit)
Kam -zdov True, but still the point of the video was to warn americans that no matter what these extremist views promise them, they'll find that it's never worth the trade.
+Fredfredbug4 Fascism is an extremely successful ideology. Germany under the NSDAP took on the whole world, and nearly won. They were a broken country after WWI, but the NSDAP turned them into an economic powerhouse.;
True, but I admire what has been achieved even if for a brief period of time. I empathize a lot with those ideals it's a pity that they have been warped around meaningless profit seeking. There is something wrong with the way that we (as a species) manage economy, the obvious one is private banks, but probably there may be something intrinsically wrong with currency: I'm not sure if, even with a perfectly stable currency, having a universal item of exchange is the right way to go. I'd like to see what would happen if we reverted back to bartering and maybe take it from there again by trying something new.
+Butt3rfly Yeah but i prefer this annoying capitalist system to North Korea and Cuba. The US is like a mother to me, even if that mother has some issues.
Marcos Ortega I agree, though not being a US citizen I admire its achievements and I consider it the most advanced system in the world. There will always be issues, as long as people are free to improve on said issues there will always be a chance for development and that's what I recon being most important during this century.

+clouster75 tough to be a capitalist state when you have every tenet of the '10 planks of communism' at work in your nation. Privately owned central bank and a national, graduated, income tax are straight out of the communist manifesto and two of the most insidious evils in the west. Wake up, America. Oh wait - it's too late already
Is sending to gulags parasites who earn ten times what common folk earn without actually doing anything, or people who give moral support to these people, really a bad thing?
Canale con le cose belle I don't think that's a productive argument to be making. Communism fails because in all forms it tries to make everyone equal though it rejects the notion that in it's proposed system there is any way for people to figure out how to exploit it. These exploiters (though it seems to me usually they're almost accidental anyway) will arise in almost every system and then create the new burgoise that claim to be equal though more equal, see Animal Farm. Point made, you don't have to read the rest, it's to argue against those morons who will inevitably claim democracy is literally fascism. The only reason democracy works because it strips power away from individuals and requires multiple people to pass legislation off different standpoints, this is why the current leading party in any democracy can't just pass any legislation they desire, I'm sure the US would have no guns and be at war with China or some shit by now if it worked as communist thought it does (Communist never actually know how legislation is passed in any democracy, funny that).
>Communism fails because in all forms it tries to make everyone equal Yeah, no. The difference in quality of people is an eternal truth of life and no communist has ever tried to change this. What socialist countries attempted to do was give the same chances of development to everyone, but of course it was already known that some would remain in one place and some would rise higher. People are different, everyone knows this and nobody wants to change this, it's equal opportunities that we wanted to give. Thus we eliminated the boss from the chain of command in the workplace, making the means of production collectively owned and managed, and we made politics accessible to all those genuinely interested by estabilishing mass parties in which people could make a career. I suggest you to look at the numbers of members parties the communist parties had in the USSR and the number of people the modern Chinese Communist Party has, we're talking of millions, in the dozens of millions. >These exploiters (though it seems to me usually they're almost accidental anyway) There's nothing accidental in the position of the boss as exploiter, it's essentially desired. If he wouldn't want to be an exploiter, the boss would renounce to his higher wages there and now, and go to work in the factory like everyone else. He would also cease taking the products of other people's labour as his own, to sell as his own and paying the labourer the meagre compensation that we call "wage". There is thievery in this system, and not just derivate one but intrinsic one as well. >will arise in almost every system and then create the new burgoise that claim to be equal though more equal, see Animal Farm Animal Farm, like 1984, was essentially a piece of propaganda against so-called "stalinism", and addressing it is fairly easy if you know how the USSR works. The bourgeoise class that was present in the USSR was the kulak and it was short-lived. As soon as the government attempted to collectivize the farms that these parasites theoretically owned but didn't even work, they starved their own country to death by burning the crops, killing the cattle and destroying the machinery. Of course Stalin dealt with these destructively selfish people. And that's the history of the bourgeoise class in the USSR. >The only reason democracy works because it strips power away from individuals and requires multiple people to pass legislation off different standpoints Except it doesn't, not the modern liberal one at least. Liberal democracy is theoretically founded on popular election of their own representatives in a parliament and, eventually, in a government cabinet, but since it requires all citizens to go to the voting booths every what? 5 years? depending on the country, even those who are not interested, eventually a situation will develop in which people don't even care anymore about the mass rite they have to commit every few years, and that's how turnouts go below even 50%. It's also hard to speak of "different viewpoints" since, eventually, the system, in an attempt to "protect itself from authoritarian turns" will essentially exclude from public life every party that doesn't fits to the liberal program, whether it is right wing or left wing, and because parties will attempt to cater to the highest amount of voters possibile rather than a certain demographic, they will dilute their programs more and more until nothing remains but the classical big tent liberalism. The political system will fossilize itself on a two, three party system at best, in which the parties all have similar programs and ideologies and people genuinely see no difference at all between the parties and their candidates. Participation in the "democratic" process goes to an all time low, and, eventually, dictators ascend, because since politicians have no different program to offer from the others, they will focus their electoral campaigns on their personalities. This is one thing that stupid bloke of Plato understood very well. All of this without enlarging the sheer size of this essay by talking about the sheer, open corruption in which the liberal democratic system falls into, eventually. Capitalism and "democracy" (the brackets are mandatory because liberal democracy has very little democratic elements in it, despite its best attempts) represent the agony of the state, and the agony of the state represents the agony of the people.

@@fun_ghoul Are you sure? I'm fairly certain that the notion that we should stray from authoritarian extremes and strike a balance which allows for a relatively stable and liberal society wasn't what brought us to where we are - the slow and insidious subversion of the West by leftist authoritarians might have more to do with it. But hey, the way you answer leftist subversion and authoritarianism isn't through liberalism or a strong conviction to preserve freedom and democracy it's by swinging in opposite direction entirely and adopting the exact same stances and beliefs and the exact same hatred of Western society except in favor of someone else's, branded "right wing", authoritarianism. Clearly the way to preserve Western civilization is to burn it down and erect concrete monoliths to the erectile dysfunction of fat bastards and the sort of twitchy slimes that couch their hatred of our societies through faux nationalism and extreme identitarianism.

+James Russell Yes, we had many racial problems in the United States, and the various state spokesmen of the Soviet Union told an alluring siren that claimed communism did not. It was mostly true, as most had been killed or relocated to less problematic locations; principally the Jewish and foreigners. For all of the rhetoric against the holocaust the Soviet Union killed far more Jews, intellectuals, and religious people than Hitler ever could pull off.
+James Russell Legal segregation in the 40's was only law in the Southern states. While a bit rose-tinted, it wasn't out of the realm of possibility for races to get along in parts of the United States back then.

This was just against communism because of the moment, they were in the Cold War against the USSR (the commie super power) the US in fact installed some fascist regimes to overthrow the communist in some countries such as the regiment of augusto Pinochet in Chile
Irony being a lot of these things also happen with *capital - ISM*. Instead of the government shackling farmers, it's Monsanto and other huge agribusiness, instead of union workers being forced to work, they're just unemployed while people in China do their jobs for nickels (under horrible conditions too), "management" just got cleaned out when the fed tampered with the dollar and the politician is just toeing the line.
"Freedom of speech, and to peaceably assemble." What, like the civil rights activists who routinely got their heads cracked in and hosed down with water just for trying to have the right not to be forced to drink out of a sub par water fountain and pick what section of the bus they got to sit on, what movie theaters they could go in, who they could date and marry, and what schools they were allowed to go?

I am so tired of this sorry excuse for an argument against Communism. "North Korea, the Soviet Union, China were all communist, and see how free their people were?" The only thing this argument demonstrates is the utter ignorance of the user.
thiago chagas Hmm. It seems as if my comment has either been removed or hasn't been uploaded. Anyway, Communism isn't exclusive to Stalinism, Maoism or Leninism. There's Anarcho-Communism which has the working class immediately dismantle the state instead of having a select few of intellectuals or leaders be vested with the complete, unflinching obedience of the proletariat. This has been demonstrated in revolutionary Catalonia and Aragon during the Spanish civil war.
thiago chagas Anarcho-Communism is not in opposition to religion, nor is it in favour of the absence of laws or rules; the latter notion is a common misconception. "No religion = no afterlife = no consequences." It seems as if you are arguing that without the threat of eternal punishment, humans will behave as but mere brutes; they won't be driven by any compassion nor respect for their fellow man, which is complete bollocks, as atheists and science prove otherwise. "In the classic marxism, a big guy with a gun could break in to your house and say "THIS HOUSE IS MINE NOW! GET OUT BEFORE I KILL YOU!" The very same could happen within a society where a state is present, except it's likely that the police force will be notified and will detain the thief. Within a Libertarian Communist society, such a scenario doesn't seem likely if not possible, as often the needs of man will be met, and thus would render such acts as thievery unnecessary. "because, with out the State, it would be like nature: the strongest survives." Whence is such a notion derived? I say this because past Anarcho-Communist societies were quite the opposite. I reference revolutionary Catalonia and Aragon.
thiago chagas "the difference is that, with the police (and the State) the thief would be obligated to give the house back. Without the State the previous owner would simply be f#@$%&." Say if such a thing were to happen in an Anarchist society, sanctions would be instituted by the community upon the thief. A police force is not necessary. "not ALL humans would be like this, but surely some would. And without the police..." All humans have a capacity for empathy, compassion and decency towards one another. It is but only natural and cannot be enforced by a coercion of some sort. "BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY COUNTRY, BRAZIL, DIDN'T HAVE A STATE?!" It's very likely that corporations would install another one to perpetuate their existence.
Bees Knees people have, and people have gone to space bc of it, people received free education, medication and housing. people had the chance to pursue anything they wanted without the fear of debt (which plagues the US), hunger, and homelessness (also a problem in the US and various other world wide nations).
Ivan Sirko first which country? a failing Soviet Republic due to reactionary market reforms? second the US prison system is shit, the more people they lock up they more money porky gets, and then are used as slaves within the private prisons getting paid absolutely nothing. and we're told they deserve it. and that isn't the "goofy capitalism" that's capitalism working as intended.
Ivan Sirko the key words are 'corrupt officials', the USSR was very well catching up to western powers and, if they were to maintain a straight economic line (not deviating like they did), would of out did the capitalist system. and the US intervened in almost every socialist nation directly through war. Korean War 1950-53 Lebanon Crisis 1958 Bay of Pigs Invasion in Cuba 1961 Simba Rebellion 1964 Vietnam War 1965-75 Communist Insurgency in Thailand 1965-83 Multinational Force in Lebanon 1982-1984 Invasion of Grenada 1983 Or through having the CIA perform a government change: The 1953 Iranian coup d'état where the US overthrew a democratically elected socialist (Mohammad Mosaddegh) in favour of an authoritarian dictator (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi). The 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état where the US overthrew a democratically elected social democrat (Jacobo Árbenz) in favour of an authoritarian dictator (Carlos Castillo Armas). The 1973 Chilean coup d'état where the US overthrew a democratically elected socialist (Salvador Allende) in favour of a totalitarian fascist dictator (Augusto Pinochet who went on to kill over 3000 people, torture 30,000 people, and put 80,000 people in concentration camps). The 1991 Haitian coup d'état where the US overthrew a democratically elected social democrat (Jean-Bertrand Aristide), who is widely believed to have been the winner of the first honest election in Haiti, in favour of an authoritarian dictator (Raoul Cédras). And keep in mind that the above is only a list of successful regime changes by the CIA against socialist nations.
Ivan Sirko most of them did become state capitalist, the only nation that has a communist party leading the nation and is not a form of capitalism is Cuba. but dude, China's gone to the shitter after maoist policies were removed, the Chinese even said themselves the economy would grow faster with those policies. plus there's the foreign exploitation of the Chinese people. but during the Stalin period, very few officials were corrupt, and those that were,were dealt with by the central committee, corruption only grew after Stalin died, Yeltsin/Gorbachev reforming the markets, etc. it was corruption that killed the USSR, not socialism.
Ivan Sirko mein gott, uk.businessinsider.com/study-suggests-china-growth-if-mao-era-policies-were-brought-back-2015-8 corruption only exists if you allow it to exist, and don't give me the "muh human nature" bullshit, Castro, Lenin, Thomas Sankara (this guy most of all), Gaddafi,Stalin,etc weren't corrupt. in Neolithic times there was no currency, no concept of culture, etc,etc and yet they still forwarded human and societal developed, without reward, if anything, communism represents human nature perfectly. but note human nature is a sheet of plastic, it changes according to the conditions/situations we face, the idea that human nation hasn't changed at all since we were cavemen to tribes to feudal system to the current capitalist system is stupid.
I would like to point out that the guy vouching for capitalism was sleeping on a bench with a newspaper that had the headline of "BLATT STRIKE FARM RIOTS INFLATION" Things must be going so well in his capitalistic society :D
Like the fellow sleeping on the bench said, a capitalist society isn't perfect, but in spite of that its far and away preferable to any of the alternatives. Whatever problems that do exist in a capitalism are NOTHING compared to problems that come from living in a Communist society. I don't know about you, but I'll take strikes, riots, and inflation over a totalitarian government, mass starvation, and death camps any day.
Actually,I have.I have 5 friends from the USSR and they all wanted socialism back.It only became unequal when the revisionists gained power,brought back the profit motive,and messed up the communist cause.

Also, fyi, South Korea finally became wealthy after the government seized control of Korea's tech industry, and allocated capitalistic resources carefully. Pure capitalism lead to the half a million deaths in political genocide.

@@j.2512 Before I continue, you have to know one thing about me. I AM NOT A COMMUNIST. I do not support communism in any way shape or form in the modern era. Nor do I support capitalism. I wish for a hybrid system, and ideally, a democratised version of the Chinese economic model. When you mention all those genocides and massacres, you conveniently leave out all the genocides committed under capitalistic regimes. What did the British do in India? Oh it's not like they committed a mass genocide of 10,000,000 Bengali. As the Independent paraphrases Churchill: " This is a man the British would have us hail as an apostle of freedom and democracy,' says author. An Indian politician has put Winston Churchill in the same category as some of “the worst genocidal dictators” of the 20th century because of his complicity in the Bengal Famine" Native American Genocide by us Americans and Canadians: endgenocide.org/learn/past-genocides/native-americans/ Death toll: debates range from 3-10 million (not including initial diseases by settlers) Let's do some death toll math: Stalin: est ~ 5-10 million [the 20 million figure commonly cited comes from WWII casualties, can't really put that in with genocide/massacres] Mao ZeDong: 45 million INDIRECT as a result of policies. Pol-Pot: 2.5 million *Communism Total: approx ~ 60 million* Native American Genocide: 10 million Bengal Genocide: 10 million Hitler: 6 million Jews + 4 million innocent civilians like in Ukraine= 10 million Leopold of Belgium in the Congo: 10 million *Capitalism Total: approx 50 million* You can't really say that capitalistic regimes are that much better than communist ones. I concede that between 1917 and circa 1950, the world became a hell hole in the communist countries. HOWEVER, after the 1960s, you start seeing the rise of the communist powers with their standard of living. Note- I am NOT endorsing communism. I am merely criticising capitalism for it's flaws. I too do not want to live in the USSR or 1950s China. The system I am in favour of is a democratised MODERN Chinese economic model. Just imagine if China had a democratic head for a government- now wouldn't that be a great place to live in about 10 years or so given their rise. India is already doing this model, and I plan on moving back after I finish university as India has far more options for me than the USA and Canada for engineering. A strong centralised government guiding the market forces has lead to 9% growth every year, almost as much as the Chinese- yet- with a democratic model. This is the model I would love to see in the USA.
The ism they never talk about is capitalism. Not a communist, but notice how not a single politician or news anchor even questions capitalism slightly?
Yes, but they are just using an example. Basically what they're saying is "Thanks to freedom we can have our own opinions, we can create what we want to, and do what we want without being controlled by the state."
Products of this propaganda and inhumane brainwashing coming here and screaming about how it is not a propaganda and it tells the truth! Pitiful, disgusting and shocking.
_"When anybody preaches disunity and tries to put 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."_
Karl Marx's idea for communism was a utopian society. The idea sounded great on paper but we've seen that it never works out in the real world leading to dystopian rather than utopian societies. It has worked on a small scale in those late 1960s hippy communes but only temporarily BUT on a larger scale it will never be what Marx envisioned. ♣
SinäLennätKuuhunEnsiViikollaApinoidenRaketillaJokaToimiiIhmisLihalla ~> No it does not but my point was that Marx was philosophically putting forth an idea which he felt would lead to an ideal utopian society. However when put into practice in the real world we've seen that after the revolution stage communism never successfully moves beyond a dictatorship stage thus never reaching the stage of a perfect society. People are not perfect and never will be so the concept of a perfect society is indeed a dream that will never come true. Besides having to force that perfect society on people by "coming to your house and taking EVERYTHING you own" makes it wrong from the beginning. People must ALL want that perfect society without any coercion vand that will never happen. For years after McCarthy/HUAC era there was a Communist party option on our election ballots and they never got anything even close to a signifigant number of votes. ♣

I thought this was going to be nonsense, but it actually all makes sense. Commies' only get support through envy. "When someone has more money than me, they're evil!" *(Leninism)* "When someone has a different skin color, and are more successful, they're evil!" *(Cultural Marxism)* Don't you see, you can't replace solidarity with socialism, it will all end in suffering and horror. The only people who have done it right are the Cubans, and they bred communism with *nationalism*, which ensured their solidarity. They weren't fighting each other, they were fighting foreigners. Don't fall for divide and conquer my friends, whatever your opinion in economics, do not turn against your countrymen! Only together we are strong, and only together we can prevent the elite from controlling us all.

Fortunately, this video promotes the good kind of capitalism that was popular in the 40s all the way into the 60s, before the super-greedy started buying out politicians to have the system rewritten in their favor.
"good kind of capitalism" what planet have you been living on?So a system built on inequality,oppression,and social classes is good?Sir,stop being brainwashed by capitalist propaganda.
Oh, and the Soviet-style was so much better despite the fact that over time, state-run economies don't really do as well as private enterprise and that people like having lots of stuff? Need you be reminded that Soviet policies were actually pretty awful. Collectivized agriculture stymied production and resulted in famine, and that suppression of decent and traditional cultures made people very angry. This video promoted the kind of capitalism where inventors have great ideas that can improve our way of living and that financial backing can do wonders to make those dreams reality. Good capitalism at its core. Not the contemporary kind where Wall Street execs buy out our politicians and cause government dysfunction to be the number-one problem in the US. Sir, stop being brainwashed by communist propaganda. Remember that your precious Soviets used force to crush popular uprisings in Hungary(1956) and the former Czechoslovakia(1968). One last thing, if your comment was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, I apologize for taking this to the extreme.
capitalism is an unequal ideology. It is built on wage inequality and social inequality.So how can a system like that be better than a classless,equal,democratic,and fair ideology of communism?There is no good type of capitalism.Well if you are a bourgeois sympathizer and enjoy inequality,then you might think it's good,but the people don't,the people seek for equality and the end of the capital system.
Comrade Jakendad"So how can a system like that be better than a classless,equal,democratic,and fair ideology of communism?" Majorly fatal flaw with that question. Communism, no matter how you view it, is not democratic and it's not all equal. Look at modern-day China as an example with its blocking of youtube and tight control over information services. Of course a lot of that country's problems stem from Confucianism where the highest class people are supposedly the most noble and trustworthy. This can lead to a populace that thinks it needs to bow down to whatever strong-armed policy the government adopts. And who says a capitalist system has to be unequal? Back in the day when this cartoon was made, anyone could be a great success at anything if they truly applied themselves as best they could. But that was before the 1% started funding politics and lobbied to have the system rigged so they could get richer at the expense of everyone else. Thus began the era of crony capitalism which nobody really likes. I personally am a supporter of big government. But I'm also a supporter of smart government that knows when to lay down the law when big firms like Goldman Sachs screw the economy over, and when to butt out completely when it comes to complex personal matters like women's reproductive rights.
As Lenin said: "Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners."

“When anybody preaches disunity, tries to tip one of us against the other trough class warfare, race hatred or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives” Old wisdom is applicable nowadays for different circumstances… think about it.
@@fun_ghoul You re so delusional.I merely told you "WOKE" And you started calling me a "nazi KKKunt"...You people are insane.At the end of the day what can I expect from an internet (commie) tough boy.
having watched this a few times I feel that this is only highlights the positives of a capitalist system..... what about those of us who find them selves unemployed... who have never worked or like me ended up out of work and can't get another job.... and all those others less fortunate people... in america you need to be a high earner to afford health care of any kind in the UK and Europe we have a free health care system but only goes so far.... the ones with power and money grow more powerful and the rich get richer... and the poor... get poorer!
A free market economy like the US only ever benefits the rich, as they're the only people who can afford good health care, doctors, lawyers, education and insurance. Not to mention if you want to be a politician. You either need to be rich, or have wealthy backers. Who'll demand favours from you in return. The reason the rich get richer is through a phenomena known as compound interest. The way to think of it is who owns the countries assets, and has money in the bank, and whose in debt? A documentary you might be interested in is "The Secret of Oz". You can type it into a RU-vid search.
The fact that they are self-unemployed, never worked a day in their lives, and are therefore without money is their own fault. If these bums would try and work hard, they would have money. The fact that you and other unfortunate people were laid off and are unable to get a new job is not your fault. It is the government's fault. They tried Socialism on the economy. They promised that under their control, the industries which you and other people were under would flourish. This required tax dollars to fund. That caused the prices of everything your industry purchased to go up. Your boss eventually could not pay you. As far as who would take care of these people... the local churches. It is their God-given responsibility, as listed in the Bible, to care for the widows, the fatherless, and the needy/poor of this world.
Nathan Applegate You are easy at your rethoric, but what about situation when you get paid, and almost all your money goes to payoff taxes, food, bills, healthcare, education and some crappy Chineese TV.
That is the result of an irresponsible government who is trying to get us to rely on them. In that case, they are trying to replace our capitalism with Socialism, if not communism.

"religious intolerance" They were most likely referring to Catholics, Protestants and Mormons as well as other sects of Christianity, and perhaps the Nation of Islam. Since this was before 9/11, I doubt the dangers of Islam were considered during the making of this video. It's also referring to belief, not religion itself. Islam after all, is a political system which seeks to establish an Islamic state based on Islamic doctrine that regulates what people are restricted to do, and this is where the problems begin with accepting it in Western societies. Not to mention there's always a small chance of terrorism coming with islam. Muhammad, after all, had said: "I have been made victorious with terror", and this is the perfect man Muslims are ordered to follow as an example.

I love how they use "Ism" as a reference to communism when capital-ISM is totally a thing. Let's get one thing straight- communism is impractical because of the potential for the abuse of power, but it is not an ideology which contradicts freedom. Freedom is completely independent of economic ideologies. Likewise, if America were to have complete unregulated capitalism we would become an autocracy due to an increasing wealth gap. The constitution would mean absolutely nothing if the government is bought out by the rich. For a healthy, successful nation- we the people must promote democracy and individual rights while implementing economic policies that benefit the people. This can only be achieved by implementing social policies which balance out capital policies, thereby giving opportunities to the poor while allowing the wealthy to invest. So no, communism is not completely evil; it has many legitimate viewpoints. But it must be balanced with free trade and capital gain. An increase of social policies is needed now more than ever since technology is replacing menial jobs. Higher education is absolutely necessary for the people to pursue careers, and it is for this reason higher education must be free through the implementation of socialistic policies.
+joemalola That entirely depends on what you define as freedom. For example, it has long been believed by several philosophers and politicians, such as John Locke and Alexander de Toqueville, that freedom, at least political freedom, absolutely depends on the right to private property- which communism strictly prohibits.
+Vosian Excellent point, I guess we should distinguish the difference between personal freedoms and economic freedoms. Communism does contradict economic freedoms which can decrease the morale of the general populous, and that is very impractical.
I'd like to bring up another point, though, with that being anarcho-communism. In an anarcho-communistic system you would most certainly have rights to PERSONAL property (which is defined as movable possessions that one uses). Even in a system like Mutualism (which states that workers have the right to the sum of their productivity, and advocates worker control of the means of production) property is respected; Mutualism is even more lenient, stating that things that you personally USE on a very frequent basis belong to you (but that things which are not being used should be collectivized so that others might find use out of it, which is in itself more efficient as it leads to resources being used at their maximum potential). In addition to this, in these anarchic styles of government there would be a DIRECT democracy (with lean towards a consensus democracy, though such a thing would be impossible as nothing would be resolved, so majority/super-majority/consensus based on issue would be the norm); a system like gives an individual significantly more freedom. People use the word Communism to describe the statist form without even considering its closely related cousin of anarchism. These systems have fewer examples but generally work well and lead to a happy populace (though they are prone to being conquered by larger groups - the Free Territory was crushed by the Bolsheviks, the Spanish Anarchists fell to a combination of Fascists, state communists, and capitalist embargoes) in which people can realize their individual potential, and in doing so contribute their best to society. Kropotkin took note that in a moneyless system everyone would contribute still, as it would contribute to their gratification and respect within their community. Even the richest members of society who do not even have to work to sustain themselves in today's capitalistic society often contribute to their community in some way simply because it is gratifying. A modern libertarian socialist government today would be Rojava (Western Kurdistan), which has a constitution strongly based on gender equality, ecological and egalitarian principles; they educate their police on feminist theory and equality of genders before allowing them weapons and they have two military groups, one of which is made up entirely of women who are given leadership positions and equal placement to men in their society. In a way, those women stand as harbingers of a new idea in the Middle East: of women as equals, as well as promoting the solidarity and unity of these people altogether, liberating villages from the grip of the terrorists.
Socialism balanced with free trade is called Democratic Socialism, or Socialdemocratic system: there is free trade, BUT the State has to control various things in the society, in order to not create social and economic gap. It's what has made Sweden a better nation during the past decades. Your comment is very kind and peaceful, but, as you can see, in this thread everyone is right-wing oriented and knows only to stereotype Communism and Socialism.
