What we REALLY need is a remake of Red Nightmare.

"Diversity training" IS re-education.

Political Correctness IS despotism. It does not tolerate dissent on the issues.

And yet the left still can't face facts

This film succeeds, and fails, on several levels. It doesn't succeed as a camp classic, like "Plan 9 From Outer Space," as it's too well made for that. It doesn't succeed as a straightforward piece warning of the dangers of Communism, as it's too simplistic and one-sided for that. What it does succeed at is as an insight into the mind of the hysterical right wing that dominated U.S. public life at the time--and still does today, in fact. This is the kind of film from "the good old days" that the Bush/Cheney/Ashcroft crowd yearns for: We're right, they're wrong. We're good, they're evil.

A warning against the evils of communism is "too one-sided". Better be careful describing the evils of Nazism, I guess. They had healthcare, the people's car, and trains that ran on time. National pride was restored too. Liberals are STUCK on stupid.
