1940 - Your Town: A Story of America

Produced by the National Association of Manufacturers in 1940, this film offers a rebuke to communism.
Teenage Jerry has been wooed by the anti-capitalists down at the plant, so Grampa Robinson gives Jerry a long talk about the history of the town, which has been built - just like America - on capitalism.

@Corporations8MyBaby Unions are the ones killing America. The Government goes after corperations because when they no longer exist then the government becomes the only one capable of doiing things and once that happens YOU AND I BECOME SLAVES TO THE GOVERNMENT. Grow a brain and vote for someone other than a moron LIBERAL!!!!

It is so hard for me not to say anything racist.

This was made in fear of Unions who were taking down the Oligarchs of big Oil, big Chemicals, Big Banking... so the "Association of Manufacturers" wants the working people to kiss their asses. Unions 2.0 will save us from the current corporatism ... if we survive it.

That's right you goddamn proles, you should be GRATEFUL that some capitalist like Manson was kind enough to build a factory in your town. Dumb little maggots like yourself couldn't ever handle running it yourselves, you're lucky that that man named Manson even gives you the honor of working for him.

Make no mistake: NAM, its members & any legislator who votes with it to kill conflict minerals legislation, will be gouging out Congolese eyes, cutting off Congolese noses, ears, and mouths, cutting fetuses from the wombs of their mothers, force feeding Congolese children their parent's flesh, burning families and whole hamlets alive, gang raping, shooting rifles, and jamming glass up Congolese women in abstentia.
