I don't read contemporary
magazines equivalent to The Saturday Evening Post, so I don't know if advertisements
like this one by the Natural Rubber Bureau still appear. It was quite common in
the post-World War II era for resource companies to promote products used in
manufacturing of end-item production - Alcoa aluminum, Bethlehem Steel, Du Pont
cellophane, Anaconda brass and bronze, American Gas Association natural gas. What
caught my eye in this ad was the right-most picture in the bottom strip. The caption
reads, "Flying Squads Fight Bandits - Communist-led gangs of bandits are still a
daily menace in some of the more remote parts of
Malaya. Here a
Flying Squad sets up its
Bren gun during a patrol of a rubber plantation." Communist
forces have been trying to thwart Capitalism all around the globe for a long
time, just as it is today. The difference is that today the Communists adopt a form
of Capitalism in order to finance their endeavors. China is a prime example. Remember
that
Mao Zedong (aka Chairman Mao by his Western admirers),
who ruled in China until 1976, ordered the execution of more than 30 million dissidents.
The 1989
Tiananmen Square incident where Red Army tanks,
caught on film, ran over protestors resulted in an official pronouncement by the
government that no one was flattened by tanks. Recently, a U.S. presidential candidate
praised China thusly, "If I'm not mistaken, China has made more progress in addressing
extreme poverty than any country in history." Let the records show that the dude
is, in fact, seriously mistaken. Any "progress" has been the result of
Capitalism providing jobs in slave-labor conditions in all but the
Potemkin-style showcase locations where The Press is allowed.
