Make Mine Freedom

God bless the US the land ive loved since I was a small kid

Chocolate was ALWAYS known only as a drink or confection ONLY by the rich or royalty- a closely guarded privilege to be excluded from the average man, considered unworthy of such a great treat; that is, until a country called America was developed, and some free-thinker named Hershey came along, with some goofy idea of adding milk to the chocolate, and thus making it cheaper, and using production known only in America at the time, made such an exclusive candy a COMMON PLEASURE AROUND THE WORLD!

[synthpop88]

thats beautiful. so damn true. i really do hate communism. (and no, i don't just mean how it was implemented. i hate the theory too.) capitalism, which accords individual rights, is the only free and moral system to have ever existed. Long live American capitalism, and may other countries experience the same wondrous freedom!

[TrystanCJ]

Wage labour is serfdom.

Communism's the same.

Anarchy is freedom.

[DJCaesar]

That's dumb.

[TrystanCJ]

Great thesis.

[stwp1]

the only americans who think communism is a good thing are underachieving losers. they don't have the will,drive or intelligence to make somthing for them selves.We all know them, the people who feel the world owes them a living. communism is the ultimate exploiter they use you,then spit you out when they are done(with nothing) at least in america your hard work and effort can pay off. this country is far from perfect, but it's still the best game in town.

[elgoobero]

For freedom you would give your life? Fight the patriot act. Damn near enough to communism.

[IcyNami]

Just because its propaganda, doesn't mean its bad. If you at least have a higher form of intelligence; this will amuse you.

not bad for a propaganda. At least it makes sense

as opposed to the commie propaganda which only boasts about how sane and good socialist ideals are.

If anyone likes to point out the flaws of capitalism fanatically, I'd like to see which system you admire. Lets see how many we can count in communism. Seriously, too many ignorant rants against this video...

[neetzach]

It is freedom to exploit.

[nafeets]

balak1: The so called communist states was nothing but a form of statecapitalism. They had wagelabor like any other capitalist state.

[balak1]

I am from a former communist state and I can tell you this caricature is close to the essence of communist rule. So stop dreaming of left extremist solutions, in practice they all fail unless combined with some amount of capitalism but NO freedom

[JoshF]

No offense but communism is not defined by the actions of a particular state. And while capitalist countries may allow a certain amount of freedom within their own state, what about the millions of workers and trade unionists exploited/tortured/murdered worldwide? How much freedom do they have?

[ninjabetter]

Wow so much anger in these comments! Yes, it is propaganda (from 1948!), but its also meant to be entertainment. Surprise! I love how cartoons still have the power to piss people off. It warms my heart!

But then again, such is the power of the medium :) Thanks to the user for posting the cartoon! As an admirer of animation and wonderful cultural artifacts like this, I salute you!

[noobzocker]

I can tel what freedom is "Freedom is the freedom differently think."(Rosa Luxemburg. I think this is a good definition of freedom.

P.S.: Rosa Luxemburg is one of the famous communists in germany

[harlequinmasks]

So can any Americans tell me what Freedom is? I hear it a lot but I can't help but think that most people don't know what it is.

[earp1673]

OOOHH BTW--- certain freedoms were mentioned here. PLEASE; someone step up and mention which freedom mentioned here DOES NOT EXIST IN AMERICA. Generic statements of "aw man, America ain't got freedom" is WEAK.

[earp1673]

hmm; fat, YES(America is now #1 fatass nation due to poor diet). Lazy? Stupid? Yes, and they are found in ANY country. But, um, why are we number one in commerce if so lazy? Oh, and have the balls to address my issue of freedom to speak against your government noobzocker. Do you think the KGB would leave you alone should your opinion be anti-CCCP???

[noobzocker]

this is the biggest fuck i have ever seen and heard. this is only a stupid american anticommunist prpaganda i'm a communist and i know more about communism as some fat,stupid and lazy american(capitalist)i know that at the cccp not althing was good but after lenins dead and when stalin get the power it wasnt a communistic state because stalin was how bush (bush is the bigest fuckhead after hitler and stalin) so communistic isnt bad (only nazis are bad)

[WetThursday]

ROFL! So what you´re saying is that it was a communistic state under Lenin´s rule? Hate to break it to you, but Lenin wasn´t much better that Stalin. Not very surprising though, since the collectivistic and authorian principle that underlies communism does inevitably lead to totalitarian states with no respect for individual rights. Maybe it´s time to wake up and smell the roses.. Communism is bad.

[coldstatic]

very good. Lenin would have approved. Really.

[earp1673]

To Swedehamster- God your ignorance is astounding; lay in your socialiast malaise, drunk in its security like a baby at mommies tit you fool- too much to say to comment here...

[Hanggud]

Your obviously a spoiled white middle-classer. Not everyone is.

[earp1673]

I am white, and middle class, yes; but spoiled??? No sir. I earn my way; every cent. I rely upon myself for all income. Racist comments and assumptions of being 'spoiled' due to my earnings speak of your ignorance. Any black or asian man could EASILY do what I have done in a CAPITALIST system. Listen to the words of balak1 you ignoramus

[Swedishhamster]

this is a buch of fucked up lies. america never had freedom. freedom my ass. this is a clean bullshit. americans can really be brainwashed by TV.

The Simpsons is the great example of a daily stupid american family.

[ih8communism]

'A nation is not free until it has elections, until then democracy is an illusion', so America is free, and for freedom i would give my life.

[earp1673]

Capitalism is not perfect; some like to point out abuse of authority found in the States, but forget the point here is communism, and other such "isms" would not allow the media to expose such corruption, and you would be "silenced" for speaking out against it!!! I must admit I find it rather funny that the cartoon forgets that capitalISM is yet another 'ism' :-) Capitalism is FAR from perfect, and must be checked at all times; corruption is inevitable due to the fact humans are in control

[itsmeeddie]

This video does a good job of pointing out one of the things that all the "isms" have in common: Peace and prosperity for all with little or no effort by the governed. Contrast this with laissez-faire capitalism which puts each man in charge of his own financial, and by virtue of his voluntary associations, his community's well-being. "Liberty means responsibility; that's why most men dread it." Sums it up pretty well if you ask me.

[drunkpunk305]

actually communism would allow the media to speak out agaisnt corruption since real communism is STATELESS and classless. there would actually be more freedoms and less opression under communism as marx described it.

[Hywel]

rubbish!!!

[earp1673]

Rubbish??? Please explain. The comment in and of itself tells me you are a fool, and unable to defend your position. It is easy to declare ANYTHING 'rubbish'. Please defend your position. Thank you.

[ULTIMA9999]

This is funny heh, "protection against cruel punishments". Now let's see what they are doing in Guantanamo bay naval base to the so called terrorists that actually are ending to be just students.
