"Destination Earth" (commie Martian cartoon at archive.org)

Joel sez: "The recent 'Funny old anti-Commie comic book' BB post reminded me of this. The Prelinger Archives at archive.org have quite a few anti-communist/pro-capitalist propaganda films. The most entertaining of these are the surprisingly large number of animated shorts, done in classic 1950s stylized animation. The one with the most amusing premise is 'Destination Earth' (This one is by the great Tom Oreb — Mark) in which Mars is ruled by an evil communist dictator named Ogg (no relation to the Ogg Vorbis audio format). As if it weren't bad enough, they have another hideous problem — not knowing anything about the essential technology of … oil (out of sheer coincidence this film was sponsored by the petroleum industry). However, after sending a space scout to Earth they learn all about the benefits of oil and capitalism (though the economic treatise 'Competition: More for All') and immediately put an end to Ogg's tyranny by running off to the Martian countryside to drill oil wells in the spirit of free enterprise.
