What sort of Post War Society did the 'West' (USA & GB) want?


Study both the excerpts (below) and think about what type of society was important to them. 

Make Mine Freedom

As you watch this cartoon - ask yourself the following:
  • What 'freedoms' are part of the democratic tradition?
  • Is the 'system' perfect? (How could you tell?)
  • The salesman is selling 'ISM'. What is this meant to represent?
  • What do the 'citizens' have to do to get their 'ISM'? (What do they have to 'give-up?)
  • What does 'ISM' promise to do for them?
  • A man on a bench 'questions' the salesman's claims about his product - why?
  • The man describes what the capitalist / democratic system has achieved - what is this?
  • They 'try' the 'potion'. What happened to each of them? Is it a good experience?
  • What dos the man from the bench 'conclude' about 'ISM' compared to their existing way of doing things? (Ideology)
