The person who said something that pissed Walt off so much during the strike was Art Babbit who, from what I have read, hated Walt with a passion. I understand you shouldn't say things like Babbit did to your bosses, and I understand how angry Walt was, but Babbit sympathized with those who felt they were being treated unfairly.
This probably would never have happened had it not been for World War II. That was the main reason why "Pinocchio" and "Fantasia" did not quite turn a profit on initial release. Because the war had obliterated a good portion of the European market, which helped drive the successes of Mickey Mouse and "Snow White".
A social, political and economic movement that aims at the establishment of a classless and stateless communist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production. This ideology significantly influenced the history of the 20th century, which saw intense rivalry between:
- The "socialist world" (communist states);
- And the "capitalist world" (countries with market economies and democratic forms of government).
In Marxist theory, communism is a specific stage of historical development that inevitably emerges from the development of the productive forces that leads to a superabundance of material wealth, allowing for distribution based on need and social relations based on freely associated individuals. Marxist theory contends that socialism is just a transitional stage on the road to communism.
Leninists revised this theory by introducing the notion of a vanguard party to lead the proletarian revolution and to hold all political power after the revolution, "in the name of the workers" and with worker participation, in a transitional stage between capitalism and socialism.
To anyone whose idea of succes involves themselves as royalty in the glory of their self-made empire.
And none of this is a direct attack on Disney because he represents the past (a time when they didn't know nay better). But none of these theories involve hiring the mob to rough you up a notch and pop some "sense" in your head, when you disagree with the top cat.
@LunaSeaSane But he did know better! To take advantage of your workers and tell people you don't want dark skinned people and such, shows that you know a lot of 'better' than other do!
This does not seem to be a balanced portrayal of Walt Disney at all. This seems to me to be a bunch of disgruntled workers attacking a dead man who can't defend himself.
ohhhh i only been watching this vid 4 10 seconds and i know its about to get to the racist part cause in the film dumbo some of the most racseist caharacters in the history of disney aka the crows of dumbo

@GyvonJ I am not excusing the man.
The idea alone that skin color could ever affect your level of comfort, is hillarious.
Same as assuming "nazi' whenever you spot someone with a shaved head, wearing army slacks . But that we can change now. Because it is happening now.
People can take advantage of people in all sorts of ways. not just laboral, color or gender based.
Just having people firmly decide to no longer take advantage of people, is a great beginning.

Why do they need unions. The people in this video making nasty remarks about Disney are communists. Truth is truth.

@galorize12rt Except they're not. Funny how your idea of truth is based around false accusations.

The strikers had support from Chuck Jones and the other Warner Bros. crowd, who volunteered their cars and sent supplies.

He brought that strike on himself, if he had shown respect to his workers and treated them well it never would have come to that.
