Communist propaganda


Disgusting.

Nothing in the film talks about turning America into a socialist state. In fact, the film clearly espouses a good relationship between owners and labor, based on loyalty, fair treatment, fair pay, etc. in those old 50's filmstrips. So if this film was communist propaganda, then so were all those old public-service filmstrips, yet those got past McCarthy himself.
But it does suggest how the attack on unions since the late 70's could have led to pressure-cooker work environments and violence. From 1940-1970, about 30% of America's workforce were in unions. Today, it's only about 12%, despite there being double the workforce since 1965. Anyone who sees labor unions drop in half (or 1/4, relative to the workforce) and sees the increase in mass shootings in the workplace, but dismisses this well-done documentary as simply "propaganda", without explaining exactly why, is just ignoring the issue. Perhaps you didn't like the "tone" of the film, or how it seemed to make "excuses" for shooters?
Yet this has nothing to do with communism or socialism. It just suggests you have bought into idea that management and owners, not labor, should be supported, despite their growing paychecks, the dwindling of unions, and the obvious problems of worker abuse.

*beep* violent criminal union scum. And the leftist propagandists who make excuses for them.

Nice. I can see you mistakenly chose this documentary, thinking you'll just see graphic footage of mass killings, and you were disappointed to see it was actually about a serious topic. Perhaps you should stick to video games and leave the political debate stuff for those who actually know American history?
