Don't be a sucker


 U.S. Army's anti-fascist film from World War II "Don't Be a Sucker," produced by the U.S. Army Signal Corps and released in 1943 (and re-released in 1947). The film warns against hate, propaganda, and the divisive tactics used by fascists to undermine democratic values 

Don't Be a Sucker is an anti-fascist propaganda film produced by the United States Army Signal Corps. It follows a Freemason, Mike, who buys into the prejudiced beliefs of a demagogic street speaker until the speaker denounces Masons. A Hungarian refugee then tells Mike how the same prejudiced beliefs led to the rise of fascism in Germany. The film argues that both majority and minority groups are harmed by fascism, and that Americans must unify against fascism regardless of race, religion, or national origin. Don't Be a Sucker saw a resurgence in popularity after the Unite the Right rally in 2017.
