A study of Capitalism, Communism, Despots, in Cartoons, Volume 1

A Study of Capitalism, Despots, and Communism, Volume 1

"Anti-Communism Cartoons"

An original production published by The Classic Archives!

Originally made in the 40's and 50's during the Cold War, these cartoons were designed to educate American's on the value of Capitalism and what it means to the American way of life.  Faced with a showdown with the largest Communist nation in the world, the United States Government wanted to educate our citizens on what we were fighting and who we were up against.

Today, while the threat of an outside Communist takeover is not real, the threat itself is very much real.  Only in modern times, the threat comes from within.  A growing segment of our population, as well as our elected officials, seem to enjoy aggravating class warfare and initiating a "soak the rich" atmosphere.  Some politicians actually believe the way to create jobs for our people is to tax and regulate our businesses, to make it harder for them to do business.  This bitterness and desire to see America become a welfare state, of "We Want This!" and where competition is thwarted, is clearly warned against in this DVD.  Our educators, themselves paid by the state, are actively trying to sabotage Capitalism and indoctrinate our young.  These leads us to elect politicians who want to spread the wealth, so instead of having a rich class, a middle class, and a poor class, we all become poor and supposedly happy.  These films are meant to educate, enlighten, and inform against the evils of communism and socialism, and what it really means to be a capitalistic nation.  If there is one DVD to show to your children, to make them realize that America is the only place in the world where someone who works hard can move out of being poor and into being rich, this is it.

In our opinion, here at The Classic Archives, this DVD should be required viewing for every American, and doubly so for every politician.
