Marx and Lenin are clearly achetypes for George Bailey while Bedford Falls represents the standard godless commie collectivist. Clarence? Obviously a rouse to keep the proletarian masses distracted from Capra's underlying yet not-so-subtle commie “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” theme. The only sanity in the movie? Well clearly it's Mr. Potter, the archetype for the Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Rand Paul, Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint, Mike Huckabee, Ann Coulter, James Dobson, Gary Bauer, John Ashcroft, Laura Schlessinger, Rick Santorum, etc., etc., characters.
