This clip is from "Alice's Egg Plant" (1925). As mentioned elsewhere, it was produced by that union-loving mogul, Walt Disney. And that's not Sabo-cat, but "Julius," who bore more than a passing resemblence to another cartoon star of the day, Felix the Cat.

Remember that at this time the union movement was demonized because it was largely made up of immigrant workers...(who's grandchildren are now railing against Mexicans 'taking their jobs')

@antieverything1 If you read Settler by J Sakai, it makes the case that the grandparents were railing against racial minorities taking the jobs as well.

This is an anti-IWW cartoon. The black cat is a symbol of the IWW, not your "house negro", dumbass.

I will watch his others to see similarities

The culture of the time must have been different, maybe. B/c as you point out, it's hard not to sympathize with the chickens.
