Now We Know What Capitalists REALLY Thought of the New Deal
18 February 2020
We stumbled across this on amazon prime and endured the entire thing mostly with jaws dropped. If we think our country recently became politically polarized after the 2016 election, watch this and learn. The right wing jack armstrong type and the left wing marxist sympathizer are constantly being warned by the girl in the middle to not make a scene at the family dinner. Sound familiar? We are trying to figure out if this were shown in movie theaters as a short second feature or at Westinghouse sales or stockholder meetings or elsewhere. It had to be a big hit at the NO THIRD TERM rallies that would soon put Wilkie on the republican ticket. .The most striking thing to us was the anti-intellectualism that pervaded the pro-capitalist speechifying disguised as stilted dialog. It's a wonder we won the war if this is meant to represent the best and brightest. The republic has made it this far maybe in spite of the thinking behind this film.
