Europe by turning Capitalists against Labor, including in Russia where he spread lies about the evils of Communism? That really fits with what we did for certain Nazi's (before) and after the war and helps to understand how Russia became sooooooooo demonized.

The short is Mr. Blabbermouth, released in 1942. I caught it on TCM, but will go see if I can find it elsewhere to give it another listen.

Does anyone know this film?

3. Didn't see the film but that's what Hitler did---
he demonized communists, he praised capitalism, the growth of businesses in Germany at the expense of labor. He set up labor camps at the beginning of his regime for those he demonized, communists, and socialists. Those in these camps were used for labor for businesses.

It also compares to 2011 in that the US praises capitalism and business growth at the expense of labor.
