An Interesting Cartoon From the Past

This short cartoon is from 1948 and it was made to explain the superiority of America and capitalism over other forms of government. It features a snake-oil salesman named Dr. Utopia who comes to town offering different "isms" in a bottle. The moral of the story is that people shouldn't let themselves be taken in by people offering "utopia" via communism, socialism, fascism, etc. and should resist people who push class warfare. Sound familiar?
