Do you think the extreme liberalism coming out of Hollywood has it's roots from the 1950's Communist list?

Question

Hollywood is so liberal that even today many liberals embrace socialism, communism and any other fascist type socio-political systems.

The answer guy - Why do you think the only movies that do well in theaters are those that are blockbuster action films with NO politcal statements in them? IN other words, most Americans don't care what the liberals have to say in their films.

Answer 1

Clearly. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, many records were released and it proved that McCarthy was RIGHT. Hollywood has worked hard ever since then demonizing McCarthy, but most all of those black balled were indeed Communists.
There are plenty of texts out there, backed up with references where you can double check them showing the Communist infiltration of the USA. You usually see reference to them on Yahoo answers in a very derogatory manner, never arguing against something they said, but attacking them personally. When you have the facts with you, you argue the facts, when you don't have the facts backing you up, then you attack the person.
If you tell the same big lie over and over, sooner or later people are going to start believing it.

Answer 2

You have to remember that actors have always been viewed as outside of society. It has nothing to do with Sen. McCarthy's unconstitutional witch hunts. And those lists were in use decades prior to the 1950's. One more point liberalism is not fascist. Fascism is a government whose most notable characteristic is the separation and persecution of equality to a specific segment of the population. Liberals, socialism and communism is the antithesis of fascism. The only fascist in Hollywood is Mel Gibson. Actually now that I think about it America in general was more fascist than Hollywood with their segregation laws. The entertainment industry was one of the few places a non-Anglo could become famous for example Sammy Davis Jr. or Louis Armstrong....etc....etc.

Answer 3

Hmmmm.... I think you are confusing "Hollywood" as in "movie stars" with California. Bye the way, I don't think Arnold is a liberal. The Jews run "Hollywood" (doesn't really exist) and they are certainly not liberal. Communism is not a liberal form of government. If you are truly interested in this you might want to get a political science book and glance through it. It makes for some interesting reading.

Answer 4

Even a dumbass makes a point every once in a while.
You are probably correct, McCarthyism could be the root of the anti-government feelings in Hollywood, they saw first hand the result of a government gone wild.

On the other hand, artistic people usually have a higher IQ than the median, so they may just be smart enough to draw their own conclusions.

Answer 5

What exactly is "extreme liberalism"??

Is that just when liberals talk too much? Protest?

I'm confused on the whole subject..

Answer 6

Um...isn't Al Qaeda the enemy? Why waste your time on such stupid questions? Oh, because you're conservative! Of course! It's all making sense now!

BTW - fascism is a result of extreme right-wing ideology, goofball. Look it up. I'll do it for you:

Fascism is a form of extreme right-wing ideology that celebrates the nation or the race as an organic community transcending all other loyalties. It emphasizes a myth of national or racial rebirth after a period of decline or destruction. To this end, fascism calls for a "spiritual revolution" against signs of moral decay such as individualism and materialism, and seeks to purge "alien" forces and groups that threaten the organic community. Fascism tends to celebrate masculinity, youth, mystical unity, and the regenerative power of violence. Often, but not always, it promotes racial superiority doctrines, ethnic persecution, imperialist expansion, and genocide. At the same time, fascists may embrace a form of internationalism based on either racial or ideological solidarity across national boundaries. Usually fascism espouses open male supremacy, though sometimes it may also promote female solidarity and new opportunities for women of the privileged nation or race.

Fascism's approach to politics is both populist--in that it seeks to activate "the people" as a whole against perceived oppressors or enemies--and elitist--in that it treats the people's will as embodied in a select group, or often one supreme leader, from whom authority proceeds downward. Fascism seeks to organize a cadre-led mass movement in a drive to seize state power. It seeks to forcibly subordinate all spheres of society to its ideological vision of organic community, usually through a totalitarian state. Both as a movement and a regime, fascism uses mass organizations as a system of integration and control, and uses organized violence to suppress opposition, although the scale of violence varies widely.

Fascism is hostile to Marxism, liberalism, and conservatism, yet it borrows concepts and practices from all three. Fascism rejects the principles of class struggle and workers' internationalism as threats to national or racial unity, yet it often exploits real grievances against capitalists and landowners through ethnic scapegoating or radical-sounding conspiracy theories. Fascism rejects the liberal doctrines of individual autonomy and rights, political pluralism, and representative government, yet it advocates broad popular participation in politics and may use parliamentary channels in its drive to power. Its vision of a "new order" clashes with the conservative attachment to tradition-based institutions and hierarchies, yet fascism often romanticizes the past as inspiration for national rebirth.

Fascism has a complex relationship with established elites and the non-fascist right. It is never a mere puppet of the ruling class, but an autonomous movement with its own social base. In practice, fascism defends capitalism against instability and the left, but also pursues an agenda that sometimes clashes with capitalist interests in significant ways. There has been much cooperation, competition, and interaction between fascism and other sections of the right, producing various hybrid movements and regimes.

Answer 7

sure mr mcarthy. is the pentagon and homeland security liberal? if the answer is no,why do they have offices in hollywood?

Answer 8

No, And I think you should do a little study on the differences between socialism, communism and facism.

Answer 9

Really! I thought Mel Gibson, Ronald Regan, and Clint Eastwood and other hollywood right wing conspiritors have acted consistantly to throw our country in to the hands of the republican minority.

Answer 10

No, but I think you should stop thinking in such infantile simplistic slogans.

Hollywood produces movies that people want to see. If you right-wingers don't like them, stop watching them. You won't be missed.
