This is probably the most prophetic thing Ive ever seen. Show this to your kids, spouse, and parents.

[Huck]

Nice cartoon...couple of points. It’s NOT prophetic. It simply shows that we’ve been fighting the same basic battle for many, many years now. Not much has changed. Second, it’s funny watching John Q Public brag about development of business (with smoke stacks in the background) and bragging about how many cars we drive despite our relative resources. Those points are now used as evidence of capitalism’s failure by the enviro crowd, and it is taught to all our kids. Last, capitalism IS an ism.

Thanks. I just added it to my favorites tab so I can show it to the kids when they get home.

The cartoon is from 1948, 61 years ago.

Obamaism. This is terrific.

I vaguely recall seeing this as a kid on the Willie the Duck morning cartoon show on Channel 11 in Pittsburgh. With a universe of cable channels I’m sure you can find it on your TV now.....NOT!

[Moonman62]

The cartoon is pro freedom and capitalism, and anti-totalitarianism. I wouldn’t read anything more into it than that.

I remember seeing this cartoon in school as a kid

passed along

50 years ago... during a time when we were dealing with communism. it’s still the same fight

I like the line (3:08): "Why, Ism even makes the weather perfect every day".

Makes me think about the Global Warming/Climate change movement and cap and trade legislation.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

[longfellow]

A repeat, but things like this sometimes need repeats.

"...We've built a country under the American system that sends more young people to high school and college than all the rest of the world combined..."

Translation:
Socialist eduction for everyone because of our great Capitalist system.

Our system is rotten at the roots. It's unsurprising that things are going the way they are.

Just amazing prediction of the future in cartoon form. Would make a good educational film for today’s brainwashed audiences, certainly including schoolchildren.

I'm older so I remember when people were proud of what this country stood for - before the race baiters, class warfare, and envy shysters took to stirring the pot...
