âThe Wizard of Ozâ is a Real Political Allegory
By Michael Genovese
https://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us/cm....s/lib/NC01001395/Cen
Dorothy and Toto, the Tin Woodman and the
Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Wicked
Witch of the West, are all magical figures out of
one of America's most loved movies. But "The
Wizard of Oz" was, and is, much more than a
children's fantasy. As conceived and written by
Lyman Frank Baum in 1900, "The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz" was a political allegory of
turn-of-the-century America. Written in the
waning days of the Populist movement of the
late 1800s, it was the story of the sad collapse
of Populism and the issues upon which the
movement was based.
The Populist movement grew as a reaction to the changes brought about by industrialization. Centered
primarily in Midwestern farming communities, the Populist Party challenged banks, railroads and the Eastern
elites, which were seen as keeping the farmer down through low prices for agriculture, high freight charges
and high farm debt, and through upholding the gold standard for currency, which kept interest rates up and
money tight. When urban workers joined the alliance with farmers, the Populists became a viable force in
American politics, aligning themselves with the Democratic Party.
The Populist Party was headed by one of America's greatest orators, William Jennings Bryan; it proposed
government ownership of railroads and other industries and advocated moving off the gold standard to
silver-backed currency. The Populist cause grew during the severe economic depression of 1893 when farm
prices plummeted and unemployment soared.
In the Congressional elections of 1894, the Populists drew almost 40% of the vote. The presidential election
of 1896 proved to be the high-water mark for the party. Their standard-bearer Bryan (famed for the speech
in which he accused the banks of crucifying the farmer on a "cross of gold") lost to Republican candidate
William McKinley by only 95 electoral votes. But the Populists rapidly faded from the political scene as
prosperity returned under McKinley and as politicians like Teddy Roosevelt adopted some of their positions.
Baum, who edited a weekly paper in South Dakota before moving to Chicago in 1896, lamented the decline
of the alliance between the farmer and urban worker and the subsequent decline of the party. Although
"Oz," was written and published (with great success) as a children's fantasy, Baum clearly had Populism's
misfortune in mind.
The allegory begins with the title. Oz is the abbreviation for ounce, the standard measure used for gold.
Dorothy represents Everyman; the Tin Woodman is the industrial worker, the Scarecrow is the farmer, the
Cowardly Lion is William Jennings Bryan, the Wizard is the President, the munchkins are the "little people"
and the Yellow Brick Road is the gold standard. Toto probably represents a dog.
In the story, Dorothy is swept away from Kansas in a tornado and arrives in a mysterious land inhabited by
"little people." Her landing kills the wicked witch of the East (bankers and capitalists), who "kept the
munchkin people in bondage."
In the movie, Dorothy begins her journey through the Land of Oz wearing ruby slippers, but in the original
story Dorothy's magical slippers are silver. Along the way on the yellow brick (gold) road, she meets a Tin
Woodman who is "rusted solid" (a reference to the industrial factories shut down during the depression of
1893). The Tin Woodman's real problem, however, is that he doesn't have a heart (the result of the
dehumanizing work in the factory that turned men into machines).
Farther down the road Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, who is without a brain (the farmer, Baum suggests,
doesn't have enough brains to recognize what his political interests are). Next Dorothy meets the Cowardly
Lion, an animal in need of courage (Bryan, with a loud roar but little else). Together they go off to Emerald
City (Washington) in search of what the wonderful Wizard of Oz (the President) might give them.
When they finally get to Emerald City and meet the Wizard, he, like all good politicians, appears to be
whatever people wish to see in him. He also plays on their fears. To Dorothy, he is a disembodied head; to
the Cowardly Lion he is a predatory beast; to the Woodman, a glowing ball of fire. But soon the Wizard is
revealed to be a fraud--only a little old man "with a wrinkled face" who admits that he's been "making
believe." "I am just a common man," he says. But he is a common man who can rule only by deceiving the
people into thinking that he is more than he really is.
"You're a humbug," shouts the Scarecrow, and this is the core of Baum's message...
âŁThose forces that keep the
farmer and worker down are manipulated by frauds who rule by deception and trickery; the President is
powerful only as long as he is able to manipulate images and fool the people.
Finally, to save her friends, Dorothy âmeltsâ the wicked Witch of the West (just as evil as the East), and the
Wizard flies off in a hot air balloon to a new life. The scarecrow (farmer) is left in charge of Oz, and the Tin
Woodman is left to rule the East. This Populist dream of the farmer and worker gaining political power was
never to come true, and Baum seems to recognize this by sending the Cowardly Lion back to the forest, a
recognition of Bryanâs retreat from national politics.
Dorothy is able to return home with the aid of her magical silver shoes, but upon walking in Kansas, she
realizes theyâve fallen off, representing the demise of the silver coinage issue in American politics.
As the last hurrah of the Populist movement in America, The Wizard of Oz is a political parable rich in
historical significance. The beauty of the film, and one of the main reasons for its longevity, is that its
reach exceeds its grasp. It speaks to us beyond the now-dated meaning of its political message and taps
universal elements within the human character that are endearing and long lasting.
This âchildrenâs story,â as with so many other stories based on a vision of reality animated by the events of
their time, also speaks to larger philosophical issues. In this sense, just as Jonathan Swiftâs Gulliver Travels
rings true today, so too, does The Wizard of Oz have contemporary meaning. And so, next time you sit
down and join Dorothy, Toto, and friends on the adventure, remember: You are taking a populist journey in
search of a new political order that replaces the power of industrial capitalists with a farmer-workers
alliance. Have a pleasant trip.

âThe Secret Covernantâ was released anonymously on the internet on June 21st, 2002.
No one really knows who wrote it, or whether itâs real, but when you read it it does ring true.
If it is real, itâs probably the mother of all red pills because it explains everything.
Released anonymously June 21, 2002. This secret covenant document reveals the plans and thoughts of the Elite families who rule the world.
Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say. If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives. We will use fear as our weapon.
Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established from time immemorial.
But if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY MUST NEVER KNOW.
If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action.
They must never, ever find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall have no place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are once the veil has fallen. Our actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down and no person shall give us shelter.

âŁ5.0 out of 5 stars The topic covered is excellent, but the author should be a little less arrogant

The severe problem that the author of the book has is his frustration at not having studied medicine. It is evident because probably 30% of the book is dedicated to discrediting medical schools in general and doctors in particular for not having knowledge of the topics covered in his book. What the book's author fails to realize is that much of the research he mentions has been done by medical researchers. I also realize that many of the topics that he mentions have no scientific support or are referred to very few works, in some cases only one, and from there he builds his theories.
It is evident that ferroptosis is a fundamental issue in medicine and managing the issue therapeutically is essential the book is dedicated to that, but the author should have been a little more respectful of medicine because I would ask him in the event of a medical emergency who would deal with a colleague of the author specialized in the protocol that he himself created or would go to a hospital ward ???
On the other hand, human biology is terribly complex, and to consider that he discovered the holy grail of the cause of all diseases seems a bit arrogant of him.
I do not want to say with this that the subject matter in the book is unworthy, quite the contrary, it is excellent... but the arrogance of the author is very annoying.
As you have noticed Mr. Robbins, I am a doctor and very interested in all the ways in my power to improve people's quality of life, that's why I bought your book. Not all doctors are ignorants, the issue is that you cannot be in the heads of all doctors and believe that none are qualified to dedicate themselves to the profession they have studied.

This will simplify your understanding of why we get sick and what to do about it. A comment on here that the author is arrogant is rubbish. Praising a Pharma driven business that is now our medical system that doesnât even try to cure is absurd. The medical system has been a dismal failure, abandoning any desire to get to the root of our illness and instead referring and depending to pharmaceuticals to manage symptoms, not curing us and making us clients for life. Seems a waste of a medical education and the time it takes, to become drug prescribers and run endless tests too often leaving patients in worse shape than they started. The same drugs create other problems that need more drugs and pile on. Drugs should be a temporary solution while we are put on a path to healing, but this is not the case with modern medicine. What they do very well and excel at is emergency medicine, often times outstanding.They should put their money and resources into that to expand those services because this is where they succeed. This book gives you an understanding of what you can do to take charge of your health. Highly recommend.

Fanfare continues with inventory stories, but this one is of interest because it was originally meant to be the fourth part of the Questprobe series, originally meant to be twelve issues, that was cancelled when Scott Adam's Adventure International company went under.
The Hulk and Fantastic Four issues of this series had to make some minor adjustments to ensure that the characters appearing in the game were appropriately "classic" (the Hulk story ignored Hulk's Banner-brain status, and the FF issue had the Chief Examiner pick up the Thing from the Secret Wars Battleplanet instead of using She-Hulk), but this one doesn't seem to make any concessions and indeed it's Magneto who winds up going through the portal into the Questprobe game. I understand that the unfinished game is available for download on the internet, but i couldn't even get the finished games working on my computer, so i don't know if you actually played as Magneto, which would have been pretty interesting.
Creator-wise, this is by far the best team to work on a Questprobe story. Claremont writing the X-Men, and art by June Brigman and Terry Austin inks? No doubt about Milgrom's decision to publish this in Fanfare (Bob Budianksy was the original editor of this issue when it was part of the Questprobe series. Al Milgrom is of course the Editor of Marvel Fanfare.).
The story offers a few twists on the standard Questprobe formula, and continues to develop the plot. We start with the X-Men relaxing on Magneto's island in the Bermuda Triangle while he packs up some equipment. It's a bit difficult to relax due to all the creepy statues...
...but they do their best until the statues start coming to life.
The statues touch is petrifying, and most of the X-Men, and Lee Forrester, are turned to stone, leaving just Magneto and Rogue. The Chief Examiner shows up as well, trying to get Magneto into his portal.
Rogue bumps into the portal and, in a cool move, she absorbs the powers of all the heroes that have passed through it previously: Hulk, Spider-Man, and the Human Torch (i guess the Thing's strength is mixed in with Hulk's).
Magneto's fight with the Examiner also has the unexpected effect of freeing the evil Bio-Gem that was secretly controlling the Examiner. The Examiner's body becomes inert and Magneto is possessed by the Gem.
On the Astral Plane, Magneto works with the Examiner's creator, Durgan, to restore Durgan's control.
When things are set right, Magneto willing enters the portal...
...and then the Examiner heads off to continue his quest, refusing further help from the X-Men.
Magneto wonders if Durgan's unorthodoxy - his people have eschewed all violence even as their race is threatened by the Black Fleet, and Durgan is taking on the fight by himself - will cause him to lose all that he and his people hold ideal. It's an interesting consideration in light of Magneto's own confession that his fight for mutant rights was actually the primary cause of anti-mutant sentiment.
The MCP doesn't list the Chief Examiner as appearing in this issue; not sure if it's a miss or if the later Quasar stories that pick up on the dangling threads here reveal something.
We learn a little bit more about Magneto's island. Storm says:
Horrible creatures inhabited the citadel and committed such unspeakable atrocities that the very stones radiate a primal malevolence which neither time nor effort can ever exorcise.
And then Kitty:
Those ancients were weird, all right, but they were no dummies, I've been examining the statues -- they're not stone. It's some form of crystalline circuity matrix. They're devices!
It's really just setting up the statues to attack, but it's another clue to this unresolved mystery.
Quality Rating: B-
Historical Significance Rating: 1
Chronological Placement Considerations: The MCP places this after Uncanny X-Men #201. The X-Men are back on Magneto's island, for a vacation but also presumably to pick up some of Magneto's stuff to bring it back to the X-Mansion.
References:
When Rogue has the powers of the Hulk, she compares it to when she absorbed She-Hulk's powers in Uncanny X-Men annual #7 (incorrectly footnoted as annual #9; thanks, Michael!).
That's the only footnote in the issue, but let me link to Questprobe #1, Questprobe #2, and Questprobe #3.
