That was a real thing. Communists would often criticize race relations in the United States to argue they should be in power. This would oftentimes be emphasised to argue communism was the only recourse. This criticism was most ironic when the Germans tried to exploit it in WWII by displaying a poster in the Netherlands that depicted the United States as a feindish, bloody monster wearing a white hood. Of course, the Germans' domestic race relations were not exactly supportive of the brotherhood of man.

A cosmonaut is anyone who travels through space. An astronaut is a cosmonaut who visits other stars. Alexei Leonov was supposed to be the first Soviet astronaut, the first Soviet citizen to walk on the moon. But then the programme was cancelled. NASA was created specifically to send a man to the moon and return him safely. They called their cosmonauts "astronauts" from the beginning even when they didn't actually visit other stars. And now that they have accomplished their initial goal twelve times, they still call them that, although they no longer have the capability to do that anymore. Or the need. NASA no longer needs to rely on manual labour on other planets for their exploration.

Reread 1984 btw it better describes america than the soviets. Orwell was a communist himself and the “proles” described in 1984 perfectly parody the average American. While Winston himself is part of the ruling senate that’s why he sees it from a different perspective
Well, I mean, the Daily Worker was openly Communist. And after the fall of the USSR it was revealed that they'd been sending money through various front groups in Hollywood to the tune of 2 million dollars annually for about 5 decades. Argue if they're a threat or not all you like, but there was provably lots of Soviet communist influence in the US during the cold war.

In the late 1980's / early 1990's I worked a Maryland National Bank as a computer programmer. We had a guy on our team that was a card-carrying Communist, for real. 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.
He's gotta eat somehow. But we don't know if half of his salary goes to supporting local communists or just locally helping the most disadvantaged groups.
Sounds like he lacked the courage of his convictions. "Just doing my job" is not a valid excuse. When you get to the pearly gates, Ol' St. Pete is going to "just do his job."
@@SpencerWilliamsIV Honestly I think it's the opposite. The bills are high because of the unregulated real estate market. The jobs pay little because capitalist shareholders do everything in their power to give the workers as little as possible.

What I got from this: In the U.S. you are free to speak and have an opinion. Unless that opinion is the wrong opinion. In which case you have no rights.
Freedom of speach is an absurd concept the moment you realize someone has to enforce it. 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?

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
Chomsky for sure, and not true. While any government wants its viewpoint supported, in authoritarian systems propaganda is the _only_ way to advance this; there is no space for independent media. A government in a democratic society needs a core of genuine support.

A cosmonaut is anyone who travels through space. An astronaut is a cosmonaut who visits other stars.
Alexei Leonov was supposed to be the first Soviet astronaut, the first Soviet citizen to walk on the moon. But then the programme was cancelled.
NASA was created specifically to send a man to the moon and return him safely. They called their cosmonauts "astronauts" from the beginning even when they didn't actually visit other stars.
And now that they have accomplished their initial goal twelve times, they still call them that, although they no longer have the capability to do that anymore.
Or the need. NASA no longer needs to rely on manual labour on other planets for their exploration.

In the late 1980's / early 1990's I worked a Maryland National Bank as a computer programmer. We had a guy on our team that was a card-carrying Communist, for real. 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.
He's gotta eat somehow. But we don't know if half of his salary goes to supporting local communists or just locally helping the most disadvantaged groups.
Sounds like he lacked the courage of his convictions. "Just doing my job" is not a valid excuse. When you get to the pearly gates, Ol' St. Pete is going to "just do his job."

What I got from this: In the U.S. you are free to speak and have an opinion. Unless that opinion is the wrong opinion. In which case you have no rights.
Freedom of speach is an absurd concept the moment you realize someone has to enforce it. 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.

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.

@@exeggcutertimur6091And we’ll stay that way as long as capitalists control the education system. Simple minded workers is what is desired. Thinking is for the enlightened few.
I love how painfully obvious these all are.
Down with the imperialists!
Didn't loyal Americans hate the British Empire?
If the sign said 'Down with the British imperialists', wouldn't most loyal Americans support that?
Americans? You mean British rebels.
redtom43 Exactly! They were English until they became the United States so it was a civil war. They also had Spain, France and Holland on their side.
No, they are too indocrinated by PragerU's bullshit and demand that they be a British Colony again.

@@mikuhatsunegoshujin yup
If he's holding a hammer and sickle, he may be a construction working farmer.
And worst of all, he could be any one of us. He could be in this very room! He could be you! He could be me! He could even be…
...that houseplant!
Right behind you

A communist
See, red!
Our APUSH teacher showed us this, and it's honestly one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Why isn't this a meme yet?
Wait until algorithms do their work
It *was*
I first saw this in APUSH too, but I think in hindsight that it's largely accurate even though I didn't write about it on the essay when I got my 5 on the exam. The problem of Bolshevism/Communism is extremely serious and is used to murder people in this country a lot.
@Porky What is a "left anticommunist"?
@Porky You sound like one of those genocidal Putin supporters who obsesses over exterminating Ukrainians
I love how on the nose that last scene is. Protestors saying ' end kkk terror' and 'no war bases'
This looks like something you would find in a Fallout game.
That's because Fallout does an excellent job of portraying 1950s culture
Says the communist...
Anybody who replies to me is a communist.
"If you find someone who enjoys playing Fallout games, he *may* be a communist."
Fuck how can I hide now? :/
xD
Shit yeah we need to take down this video before I get exposed
Book it to Cuba, thanks to the lifted embargo I think they might let people travel there pretty soon.
Mr Blank come to my place comerade, you can read Marx while you are in hiding!
Fegeleinmarsch he already came. I'm in the helicopter
Americans : we are the country of freedom of speech and opinions
Also americans :
Technically they could be communists, this video is just encouraging people to ostracize communists
What we have is better than what anywhere else on the planet has.
Communism has proven to be destructive in every large scale implementation. It's not opinion, it's history.
“Don't get so tolerant that you tolerate intolerance.”
Bill Maher
They are free to be communists, but the police has the right to watch you more carefully then
@@TheFirstGoombayou're right, muriga is the worst terrorist state in the world, worse than even pakistan. Muricans shouldn't be tolerated.
If your neighbor mows their lawn at the ungodly hour of 9:00 AM on a Monday, they may be a communist.
I love how it goes from
"Declares to be a communist"
to
"Criticizes the worst elements of American society"
They all could be communist symptoms. Since I'm not a raging racist I also could be one
Wait, you think blacks and whites should be equal?
That’s un-American--you must be a communist!
And you cut out the part where he said
"If the person defends the activities of Communist nations while consistently attacking the domestic and foreign policy of the United States"
Yeah, sit and spin you commie hypocrite.
Sounds familiar. Americans declare anti fascism or the claim that black lives matter as communist.
It was the 50s and the army published it. That's just how they are I guess.
@@skinwalker69420 unfortunately there are still some Americans that cling on to that exact mentality in all political parties.
