Another ISM is FASCISM where government exists for the large corporations. Perhaps MORE dangerous than all the other ISMS put together. Truly under BUSH America has lost far, FAR more freedoms than America has lost under ANY OTHER...ISM. NONE of the things that this film brags about is any longer...true.
As defined by you. but where has this fascism existed? I submit that it can't exist because private industry is controlled by the peoples dollar. They die as soon as people decide the corp is no good and stop patronizing it. Mussolini's fascist state involved state owned means of production and was centered on worship of the state. Hitler, who is considered a fascist who hated capitalist believing them all jews, produced "the peoples car" in a state owned factory.
BUSH was put in power by the large corporations, so was Hitler. BUSH did all he could to aid large corporations, so did Hitler. BUSH supported forced labor in Communist Red China, Hitler supported forced labor. Bush supported only the capital that was his allies, as did Hitler. Bush hates Liberals, Hitler hated Jews (many of whom were liberals). Hitler's "peoples car" was designed by and built by Dr. Porsche, one of the large corporations that supported his rise to power known today as VW.
It's speaking out against the dangers of governmental ~isms like Communism, Capitalism & Fascism. It's pointing out the value of liberal ideologies like democracy, freedom & liberty.
This cartoon was created in 1948 at this same time the United States was a segregated country where a black and a white person could not use the same toilet. This cartoon states that outside forces try to break up America on the issue of race, but at the time race was an issue.
All that industry featured in the 1948 version of America is now closed, rotting and rusting factory buildings. That skilled labor talking about his union is now making hamburgers and wishing he could afford to pay both his rent and his health insurance.
Those "kids to high school and college" are fortunate if they can find a way to pay the cost of going to college and even then graduate with such debt they are already behind before they even start.
Capitalism is the quickest horse, the strongest runner, but even the quickest and strongest horse needs reigns to control where it is taking you. If not it is not long before it throws you on your butt.
Sinclair Lewis was correct, convince people the real problem is the "threat" of the negro yesterday or "socialism" or today the homosexuals and liberals, always some "threat" to public order to appeal to peoples insecurities. The real threats are the corporate types and their religious nut friends who want to censor everything you do on the one hand and pay you shit wages on the other.
NAFTA has moved factories over seas; lobbyists purchase policy legally; our foreign policy is immoral; an economy that flips burgers; millions of families/children have no health insurance; we spend Billions on a war with no end; our mortality rate is higher than many third world countries; bridges are falling signaling an eroding infrastructure; our heros are steroid-pumping athletes; Maybe an "ism" or two in certain areas of our lives wouldn't be so bad at this time?
violence,pervesity,oppression,religious fundamentalism,child abuse,human rights violations,military forced imperialism,
invasions,assisting dictatorships and warcrimes.America sucks.All good in the USA has been overshadowed by the evil forked-tongued bastard maniac murderer, your President G.W.Bush. I urge you to retaliate against your Government- it stinks of shit & corruption,and drags the U.S. image into disrepute by their hellish actions. Savvy?
It could be worse, at least the USA isn't nearly as bad as the UK.
Admittedly America does have some faults, but nothing that can't be fixed. I'm very optimistic that more Americans will wake up to the lies from the immoral unethical GOP's pandering to the radical right wing Christian Jihadists & the warmongering GOP's promotion of Corporatism & Imperialism.
I'm hopeful that we'll soon start returning to the Liberal ideology of our founding fathers.
"opposed to liberalism of all kinds"? Classical Liberalism is the same thing as neo-conservativism. Classical Liberalism does not equal Social Liberalism. They are opposites. For example, the first is racist because it refuses to look at material conditions, whereas the second is not.
There are at least 4 'isms' in the video. The first one (worker) is obviously Communism, the second one of the businessman could be Fascism (though it really doesn't fit), and I have no idea what the remaining two isms were supposed to be.
Also, another -ism they just finished fighting.. Imperialism. After all Emperior Hirohito(Imperialism) led Japan, Musulini (Facism) led the Italians, and Adolf Hitler (Nazism) led Germany. We were also fighting in cold war fashion somebody who fought on our side against ol' Adolf, USSR, (Communism)
While it is true all the ism are dictatorships I don't know if there is enough outside of the first one (Worker) to really id them. Also given the conservative nature of the cartoon Socialism is likely in there as well (Farmer perhaps)
Not only did the GOP give us MccarthyISM but 20 year before gave us J Edger Hoover whose COINTELPRO (1956) which ran roughshod all over the constitution. Under Reagan people people like Pulling could have others committed for playing RPGs
Never said the video attacked McCarthyism per say but it *does* attack ISM supposedly in all its shapes and forms. In a real sense McCarthyism was mostly a repackage of Red Scare of 1919-1920 (after Wilson had a stroke and the Republicans had control of Congress) and here again the Constitution got beat up. The one ISM not here is of course 1890's CapitalISM.
Also, if anyone is noticing... BOTH parties are taking away our Constitutional rights. Any time the freedom of speech is impeded, our rights are being impeded. Both parties for whatever reason have imposed such practices as demanding equal time for speech on the radio, but not equal time on what is called "NEWS" on television. The "NEWS" which was for the longest time dominated by NBC,CBS,ABC,CNN and Ganett in print have been giving total "PRAVDA" type information.
Oh dear old President Reagan who took the US from the greatest creditor nation to the largest debtor nation all the while running up more debt than *all other presidents combined*, helped fund such people as Saddam Hussein, killed or crippled all of Carter's energy saving/alternative engery programs which is a big part of the reason we are in the current energy mess now, and gave us fiascos like the Contras
Anybody who tries to make this video pro-GOP should remember the ISM the Republicans shoved on the American People in the form of MccarthyISM whose last tyranny the House Un-American Activities Committee was finally dissolved in 1975 under *Democrat* President Jimmy Carter
I think this video is more a comment on the dangers of extremISM. I loathe Bush, his administration and the "Throw A Gay Pro-Choice Arab Into Guantanamo For Jesus" yahoos as much as anyone. But make no mistake, "Big Brother" policies are by no means monopolized by the right. Gun control? Smoking bans? No Foie Gras in Illinois? Beware anyone, Right or Left, who wishes to take something away from you "for your own good".
This is a great video, and all Americans should see it, but I think the title should be changed. This has nothing to do with the GOP. Both Republicans and Democrats serve to protect our freedoms and the capitalistic spirit. This is not a partisan issue, "John Q. Public" represents both parties and the vast majority of Americans.
Well, in the broad scale of ideology (from anarchy to totalitarian) both parties are basically in the same position. They believe that government should exist to protect us and to maintain order, and that it should be limited (to preserve our personal liberties). This is Liberalism. They only really disagree on relatively minor details in exactly how this should be arranged. (I think I'm short on space so if you're still skeptical, ask some questions.)
actually this movie is both conservative and liberal, its liberal because it values rights and liberties, but its also conservative because it values capitalism
why is it then the republicans are letting mexicans overrun the country to create a welfare state? it's sad few in this country know what is really happening.
deity5;to put it simply BIGGER PROFITS why pay a fair wage when you can create a over supply to decrease wages
just remember whats good for bisness is good for [corporate] America workers should be glad they are being supplied with a job how ungratful they must be to think they deserve a higher wage thats corporate profits their taking and thats bad for bisness
It's sad how much of this is not true today, and how it dosen't really work anymore.

The first recorded use of the term McCarthyism was in a March 29, 1950 political cartoon by Washington Post editorial cartoonist Herblock.
If this is the case, then HOW could this Video Possibly been used to address (attack) McCarthyism?
The Term had not even been coined yet in 1948. Nor had McCarthy even come into full steam with his attacks.
