    • @xxlCortez
      @xxlCortez 6 ปีที่แล้ว +77

      In other words, the way to spot communists is if they admit they are communists. Because the video clearly left out anything that would help spotting a communist who actually hides the fact he's a communist. Please learn how to comprehend.

    • @Brickcellent
      @Brickcellent 6 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      You seem to be forgetting the fact you used the word "might". The video clearly states to take the statement of declaration at face value, regardless of the persons state, i.e. jocular or drunk, seen as the scene is set in a bar. The fact he didn't say "might" in this instance pretty much invalids your little quip. Liberally interchanging words isn't factual.

      it's true though. Democracy is about pawning off responsibility to the populace so the politicians can't be held accountable for their shitty job. Propaganda then serves the purpose of making the people believe that the politicians act according to the will of the people and also reforming the opinion of the people towards the given policy. In essence, democracy needs propaganda since the majority of any population is too retarded to actually form opinions and will gobble up whatever their tv tells them to

Now these uneducated mobs, who got so drunk on peace, want gender to be a political matter.

Once more that things like advocacy for terrorism, spreading sensitive information, hate speach, and obviously critique of the government, somehow arent allowed this freedom. Someone draws the line but theu dont tell you where it is. The soviets were honest: you say shit about the government and we break your ankles (and even then, after stalin that wasnt really enforced). Anything else is ok.
      Thats why filmaking in the usa was so oddly terrified (insert George Lucas interview abt the USSR) that they might say the wrong thing, imply the wrong kind of message, attract the wrong interests. As such they had that rule book i cant remember, about what is and isnt allowed on screen.
      Jewish character? Might be a communist. Something to do with dr. King and the black movement? Might be a commie. A character thinks women should vote (even though they can)? Offff, i dont know about that.
      USSR? None of that, if there is a good party memeber character you can do whatever the hell it is you want. Though most of their art was often in the realm of the experimental, the snow queen, hell, guest from the future has the government as the antagonists. I even know one Bulgarian author who had a book that was debated on if it should be banned because it was anti-communist. He didnt go to a gulag, no no no, they were debating on if they should censor it. I may remember him, but if i dont, the other one is fine too. Meanwhile you suggest affordable health-care in the States and now you are Adolf Stalin, bringer of the apocalypse.
      Do they even hate Adolf these days?

    I think what's actually scary about this particular propaganda film is the "may be a communist" bit. That bit of fear and anxiety it instills--when you're not sure who is and who isn't--is most effective at keeping people mistrustful. It wouldn't work as well if the narrator said "most likely a communist" or "most definitely a communist".

      Still is as a matter of fact. Look at terf island and who is waving the trans flags and the red banners. Look at Palestine.

Now for the economic aspects of the ideology, socialist states and the like, the lies are very effective.

And I asked him one time, I said, "Jack, you're a avowed Communist, a member of the party, yet you work at a bank, the most capitalist of all companies save the stock market." Before I could ask a question he cut me off and said, "the irony is not lost on me. What I do in my free time is my own business. What I do at work pays my bills. If being a teacher paid as well as a computer programmer, I would have been a teacher." He was a great guy and a pretty good programmer.
