Make Mine Freedom (1948 Cartoon Foretells the Future)

@BermudaHexagons I think that rather than warning against socialism in particular, the film warns against any "ism" that promises a perfect system, or Utopian society. Fascism is equally criticized here.

@Stefanos07520 : Yup! Any and all 'isms' and 'ists' IMO.

I don't see it. What exactly has been predicted in this capitalism propaganda cartoon? This is the reason why socialism is a dirty word in the US. Just take a look at Western Europe to see what social-democracy can do for the people.

@BermudaHexagons Exactly! Who would want to live in Western Europe?

@OREGONREPTILEMAN A sane rational person, who likes the idea that if things were to go bad, for a while, society would help him out. Or if he needed an expensive operation he wouldn't have to sell his house. It's just a better performing society in so many ways, unlike the radical capitalism that seems to be the ideal in the US. The question should be: Who wouldn't want to live in Western Europe?
