Government Said They Worked To Take Over America. Like Today’s Debates?
This film was made by the government, by the US War Department, distributed throughout America in 1947, after World War II. There was an active left wing and right wing movement in the United States and the government wanted to warn American citizens about the both of them. It’s a powerful film and in surprising ways, reflects upon the “sides“ debating the future of America today. That is why I present it on my channel. now
The film was called “Don’t Be a Sucker”. It is a notable piece of historical media, crafted to educate the American public on the perils of fascism and its ideology, and to promote unity and understanding among diverse political, racial, social groups within the USA.
The film opens with a scene of a man, who appears disillusioned by post-World War II adjustments, listening to a speech promoting hatred and division. The narrative then transitions to another character, a naturalized Hungarian-American professor, who recounts his experiences in Hungary under the rise of fascism and draws parallels to the rhetoric being spread in the United States. The professor shares his story with the initially persuaded man, highlighting how such divisive ideologies can lead to the downfall of democratic societies.
“Don’t Be a Sucker“ employs a combination of dramatized sequences and historical footage to convey its message, effectively warning against the dangers of bigotry, intolerance, and the spread of fascist beliefs. It underscores the importance of unity, respect for all Americans regardless of race or religion, and the need to be vigilant against those who would exploit divisions for their gain.
The film was part of a broader effort by the U.S. government during and after World War II to use media as a tool for public education and to fortify democratic values at a time when the world had witnessed the devastating consequences of fascism and extreme nationalism.
During the Reagan administration, laws were passed to prevent the government from making media in most areas (except for recruiting films in the military), anything that was seen to be political or presenting a political point of view.
