| “Make Mine Freedom” is a 1948 short film
produced by Harding College to raise awareness of the dangers of
Communism and Fascism, as well as state control for the “good” of the
people (which is bad for the people and good for the state). It features
a snake oil salesman, Dr. Utopia, selling bottles of “ISM” which
promises to do everything, even make “the weather perfect every day.”
All it requires is that you give up “everything I have including my
freedom and the freedom of my children, and my children’s children, in
return for which, said ISM promises to take care of me forever.”
