Synopsis
The history of communism told from a very Cold War perspective, attempting to explain to the target audience of American schoolchildren and teens why is it such a threat for worldwide freedom and the United States in particular, and why the inversions of millions of dollars in defense weaponry, and tax increments for that purpose, are justified.

Awesomely amusing and dramatic exaggeration of what didn't even need to be exaggerated. A treasure trove of sampling exploration and stock footage video clay to model you something more psychadelic and enjoyable around the volcano. A laughable look at overly alarmist propaganda based on a concept that was threatening enough without the noir-grindhouse mental sexploitation. Funny how when every communist government fails it was not true to the cause... maybe there's an inherent flaw in the cause that opposes truth? Great video, campy production and over the top s__t your pants antics await…

Great, accurate, account of history. If you don't think so then please go look it up. but i'm sure you won't and would rather yell names immaturely. If this film offends you please take a trip to Russia, take a trip to China, to Iran. go see they're standard of living in person. The point is, this film is accurate. I've done the research, have you? Please before you post "your stupid", go from point to point in this film and TRY to discredit it. Thank you for your time, and my God(whichever one you believe in, because you can believe in anyone in America) Bless America.

★★★★★ · Dated Propaganda, But.... · Robin_1990 · 2008-04-19
Seriously, The commies killed millions of people. Their people lived well below the standards of the rest of the world. FYI, The Democrates in the 50's/60's/70's also would warn against the dangers of Communism in their political campaigns. Even liberals like Lucille Ball generally hated commies. [Lucille Ball was accused of being a commie, much to her shock. She wasn't, and she successfully cleared her name. She may of been liberal, But she was also a proud American.] However, This film, Although dated, Is quite enjoyable and fun, if not exactly always truthful. I give it 5/5 just for the…
