In the 1950s and 60s, Americans were taught to fear communism to the point of paranoia. Advertising was quick to take advantage of that fear. See a collection of such ads at Socyberty. Link-Thanks, RJ Evans!
There was good reason to fear Communism, though sometimes the results looked silly. Communism killed over 100 million people last century, before it collapsed.
Did people actually think that not having proper bathroom amenities would make employees storm out, shouting, "Down with two-ply! I'm becoming a communist!"?
Yep, nothing like taking advantage of fear. Quite profitable I hear. Of course, to fear it in America (not Russia) at the time was indeed more paranoia than reality.
