How was McCarthyism any different from the de-Nazification programme the Allies implemented in Germany after World War II?
Communism is just a brutal and cruel as National Socialism.
Postmortem revenge, I am guessing.
Why do you think they put so much effort into taking over his company and rebuilding it in their image?
And it's DONE now.
Old Walt can roll over and over and over in his grave. Ain't nobody gonna help him.
Sad.
"Why do you think they put so much effort into taking over his company and rebuilding it in their image?"
Tale as old as time. The arts have always attracted persons not comfortable with the status quo. And specifically theater, going back to Shakespeare and likely further, gays kept women off the stage because the skirts interfered too much with the men playing hide-the-salami.
We could of course go all the way back to the ancient Greeks, but I don't think they even had a word for sodomy, because everyone did it and it wasn't anything unusual.
Because the US went around the world and supported fascist and authoritarian regimes under the guise of fighting "communism" and engaged in imperialist wars just to expand and maintain their hegemony. (Nor were they averse to supporting communist regimes either when it suited them; see Yugoslavia.)
For example, in Indonesia, the Indonesian Army and various death squads, spurred on by the US, the UK and various other Western governments, killed 500,000-1,200,000 people in 1965-66 just because they were ethnic Chinese, for example, and therefore supposedly "communist".
(And later on, they invaded East Timor, again supported by the US, and killed about 44% of the population, which is the highest % of dead within a population since WWII, when up to 75% of Jews in Europe were killed.)

Nothing to do with Disney. McCarthy didn't kill communists.
