This 1948 Cold War-era propaganda cartoon, entitled Make Mine Freedom, uses humor to promote democracy versus communism, and free enterprise (capitalism) over communism’s totalitarian governments. It contrasts mainstream American values with the values of Soviet communism.
The point that this cartoon seems to be making, is beware of any individual, organization, or administration that attempts to escalate class warfare to divide the country and make socialism appear to be the only solution. We will always have our differences, but putting the government in charge of everything for promises that you will be taken care of, and surrendering your freedom is not the solution.
The cartoon was produced by John Sutherland and sponsored by the Harding College. It is one of the "fun and facts about America" series, made "to create a deeper understanding of what has made America the finest place in the world to live."
Plot:
A traveling salesman called Dr. Utopia, selling bottles of "ISM" (communism), takes in four unsuspecting dopes who believe his promises about the powers of ISM to solve all their problems. They sample his wares, falling into a waking nightmare where they get a nasty taste of the lack of freedom they would face after relinquishing control over their factories and farms to the parent state. When a lone politician dares speak up, he is brainwashed and later shown with a phonograph for a head that plays "Everything is fine!" over and over. In the end, the character "John Q. Public" declaims about the way communists try to incite race hatred, class warfare, and religious intolerance, and the townspeople drive Dr. Utopia out of town, pelting him with bottles of ISM as he flees.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
The Cold War (1947-1991) was in many respects a struggle for the hearts and minds of people everywhere. That competition was carried out through massive American and Soviet propaganda campaigns to isolate the respective opponent internationally, win the approval of world opinion, and consolidate the own sphere of influence. Every opportunity from art exhibits to international sports events, and every medium from radio to television, was used to fight the propaganda war.
During the Cold War, films functioned as a means to influence and control public opinion internally. The United States and the Soviet Union invested heavily in propaganda designed to influence the hearts and minds of people around the world, especially using motion pictures. Cold War films produced by both sides attempted to address different facets of the superpower conflict and sought to influence both domestic and foreign opinion. The gap between American and Soviet film gave the Americans a distinct advantage over the Soviet Union; America was readily prepared to utilize their cinematic achievements as a way to effectively impact the public opinion in a way the Soviet Union could not. Cinema, Americans hoped, would help close the gap caused by Soviet development of nuclear weapons and advancements in space technology. The use of film as an effective form of widespread propaganda transformed cinema into another Cold War battlefront.
American films incorporated a wide scale of Cold War themes and issues into all genres of film, which gave American motion pictures a particular lead over Soviet film. Despite the audiences' lack of zeal for Anti-Communist/Cold War related cinema, the films produced evidently did serve as successful propaganda in both America and the USSR. The films released during this time received a response from the Soviet Union, which subsequently released its own array of films to combat the depiction of the Communist threat.
Television and advertising played key roles in constructing the image of an ideal American way of life. American propaganda functioned to shore up support and national pride by projecting an image of prosperity, freedom and strength. In many ways, however, these images were fantasy. They contrasted and conflicted with many American's real life.

Yeah, that's the way it used to work. Crying shame it's not been destroyed by corruption and greed
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!

its been ongoing for years dude
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".
United we stand divided we fall. Obama/ Biden wanting to divide race and to have us turn against each other🤔🤔🤔

@@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.

"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.
It's simple: we just become a unified hive mind.
but race hatred is based in American nationalism...
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.

"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."

@@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.
@@indridcold8433 cool facts! Can I have your sources?
@@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.

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

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 💀
@@Dannybythebanana as I recall, this cartoon was made by an industrialist, and they're not above lying.
The communists also did bust unions.

True. Very, VERY true on that fact.
School shooting in your country. You think it worked well??? Are you blind or stupd?
@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.
Pit us against each other through race hatred eh? Historie realy likes to make us the fool in its jokes.
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.
@@Axelgear2006 that officer didn't die from a a fire extinguisher or being bludgeoned to death, an autopsy cameb out about 2 weeks ago.
@@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.

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.

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.

4:47 Funfact: The car was invented in Germany, not in the USA.
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.

I thought it was going to be terrible but it has its good and bad points.
Some good points:
-Innovation is great in a free market
-Private property
-Freedom of speech
-Just representation
-Free from unlawful search or seizure
Some bad points:
-This was during the time of segregation so talking about freedom in all the races, creeds and religions of the nation is.. eh, glass houses (Just read Jim Crow laws)
-Joe Doake being a big company is great. But then Joe Doake is so powerful and rich he can do whatever he wants in his company and to his workers, he can lobby laws in the nation for the benefit of his company, he can fix prices and kill competition and he can also expand into other markets monopolizing everything. (This is why Teddy "Trustbuster" Roosevelent is one of my favorite president)
Keep in mind it is the Dems that enacted said laws of racism. Also the business is like they are now because of all these rules. Rather than let the workers individually negotiate, the government allows unions to control and price people out of work.
Finally, a reasonable and well thought out analysis.
you sound cool as
About the race freedom point. Perhaps the cartoon was also speaking out against said Jim crow laws in a more subtle way, in the scene in the school they show different races in the classroom and they also say "out system isn't perfect" in the cartoon. So perhaps they were also speaking against the Jim crow laws, but being subtle about it to stay on their main point

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.

@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.

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.

• 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

@@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?

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.
@@torum6448 Enforced secularism just becomes the new tyranny. You're enforcing another "single truth" and you are most certainly pushing an ideology into politics.
