I have no idea how this appeared on my you tube while I was watching old Kraft Suspense Theater shows, but I thought I would share it.
Now, you have to guess if I am a communist.

Some people don’t realise they’re sitting next to a communist until it’s too late.

This documentary is pretty good and entertaining. It’s narrated by the great Alexander Scourby.
It is very pro-FDR, but does summarize the state of the American zeitgeist at the beginning of the Depression. Talk about reminiscing.

According to Solzhenitsyn in the days of Stalin every 2nd or 3rd person in your community was an informant for the government.

That’s how you didn’t become the first person in your community to be shipped out to gulag. It didn’t matter if you were counter revolutionary or a loyal party member. The point of Stalinism was to terrorize the masses into abject fear and inertia.

Is that Mary Kay Place as one of the two women who sang about communism?

Did Tail Gunner Joe realize that it wasn't illegal to be a Communist in 1936 (or 1952 for that matter). A lot of people though the Great Depression was the death knell for Capitalism. And the horrors of the Bolsheviks hadn't really been made public yet.

It is a political party. It isn't illegal.
The only creature sitting by me today is a cat. Earlier it was a different cat. But cats.
