I find it interesting that whoever posted this on Youtube calls it "propaganda".

Nine and a half minute video: Animated American Anti-Communism Propaganda
Note where the snake oil salesman tells the legislator he can vote his own pay increases.

I was born about the time this short film was produced.
My father was in the USAF and did a tour of duty in Germany during the Berlin Airlift.
I remember seeing, on TV, the Berlin Wall being erected (and, of course, torn down).
When in high school we learned about Berliners "voting with their feet".

In the '80s I stood in West German near a sign warning me (in three languages) not to try to cross the open free fire zone to the east because to try was fatal. It was probably a minefield and there were concrete gun towers visible about every few hundred meters.

I often wonder what the world would look like had MacArthur nipped it in the bud. Quite probably the space race and moon landing, with all it's scientific advancements, would have been slowed considerably.
