Small snippets. I'll pick on minor, unrelated stuff as well. Realize, of course, this is a nonsensical cartoon. I'm really tempted to not even give this clip its time.


Freedom to work at the job you like.

[...] pending the job market. ;)


Freedom to own property

Most people only own possessions; their property toll amounts to paying a mortgage.


Speedy and public trial

That's only true if you're not looking for a jury. :laugh:


*Gulp*

Prisoners aren't fed anything like that.


I hereby turn over my freedoms, the freedoms of my children [...]

:laugh: Hilariously, libertarians and anarcho-capitalists would actually support such contracts where people concede their liberty, whereas communists believe in a life full of individual sovereignty.


Who was out of work anyway

I wonder why. :D


"The State is the Supreme Court"

Uh - actually, right now, it is.

Their view of capitalists being simply being petite-investors is trying cover up class divisions.


The state forbids strike From time to time the USA goverment issues back to work rulings which is basically the same thing on a situational bases. The film also ignores workers fought for the right to strike against the capitalists.

State propaganda speakers are found in capitalism too.



When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one another against the other, through class warfare...
Wait a minute, in the beginning of the film they were already fighting each other and the ISM guy simply gave promises aimed at their interests.

Well first of all, what they attack in the cartoon is the totalirianism that occurs in state capitalist countries, or degenerated workers states(whatever you want to call it)

Also what he cartoon doesn't show is how the workers at the factory of that guy that invented the car, are the ones who give the car its surplus value. And there fore they are the ones who should own the factory and control it.

So the genie from Aladdin will enslave you if you drink bottles of Jism??? You guys didn't tell me that when I signed up for all this commie stuff. I'm out of here...

...but seriously. I couldn't name one thing on that faulty list of charges against communism that the U.S itself isn't guilty of. My favorite part was the rant about freedom while everyone proudly marched in front of a statue of the guy who imprisoned journalists and suspended habeas corpus. :rolleyes:

i cant over look how the "american way" that was presented in the movie the middle class and upperclass. also, notice how the worker and the other peoples' problems were not solved. plus the unions have been destroyed in the US by the cappi scum.
