                This comic strip made during the Cold War time mocked/mimicked how society would be treated under Communist rule.

  1. I think this picture serves a great example on society's effective attempt to tranfer their fears to little children.

  2. I don't think this cartoon was targeted toward children, however it probably sent a strong message out the working class about the disadvantages they would have in a Communist society.

    1. Yeah based on comic I think that the author was definitely trying to send out a strong message of the disadvantages for the working class in a communist society.

  3. Life in Russia looks pretty dreadful and I think this message was very effective in putting a fear of living in Russia into citizens.

  4. This doesn't really affect children much but it does make a lot of Russians scared for their lives.

  5. This ad does a good job of explaining the good aspects of communism, and showing that it is actually not good at all.

  6. I think people that saw this would definitely be influenced into hating communism no matter if it is entirely accurate or not, which is where people like McCarthy came from.

  8. This may be stretched from the actual truth of what happens in communist russia but it does clarify a point.
