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.

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. The resistance to capitalism is such a defining aspect of communism that, no matter how much slander, you cant scrub it off. Now for the economic aspects of the ideology, socialist states and the like, the lies are very effective.

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.
See the trick they did was they managed to disguise western propaganda behind the term “experts”. So these days its not propaganda, because the information you get comes from “experts”, doesnt matter where these people got that information in the first place and who pays them, all you need to do is switch your brain off and mindlessly drink the kool aid western mainstream media feeds you and happily cheer on the next atrocity done in the name of the international rules based order
@@user-vn6no3ci4f Yeah, historically, the state has been nothing but an enemy for workers' rights. When laborers protested the brutal conditions, they were assaulted and killed by police- the enforcement arm of the state.

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. Paying bills just gives you more reasons to want a different economic system.
I like that it tries an olive branch of "may" to doing one or multiple of these things but that feeling tell us if you do all these things consistently then it stands to reason
What the narrator is trying to say is that benign causes such as anti KKK activism have infiltrated by forces working against America, the banner calling for an end of US overseas bases is testament to that.
As the old adage goes"Never ever trust a communist" meaning the statement said by the communist "I am a communist" is a lie since communists don't tell the truth meaning they aren't a communist

Good question. Stalin, Trotsky what do you two think the answer is ?
Trotsky told me Lenin was right about party organisation and was a good communist. Stalin dug the grave of the revolution.

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. The resistance to capitalism is such a defining aspect of communism that, no matter how much slander, you cant scrub it off. Now for the economic aspects of the ideology, socialist states and the like, the lies are very effective. "I see the idea and morale behind communism, and i support its progressive elements, but muh human natur no food 3 gazillion". Because liberals have yet to grasp the political economy and their ignorance spans 3 centuries.
Where is this from? That is Noam Chomsky talking at the beginning. What documentary or film is it?

It's typical for commies even today to hold such messages. Commies are in toilets as where they've always been.
Commies infiltrated numerous civil rights groups. One can be for civil rights without being a commie.

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
Except that is was written by anti-Democratic capitalists.
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.
Haha, nose

It's unfortunate the context, beginning and ending narration on each side of this clip, has been cut. I'd love to hear what it was.

See the trick they did was they managed to disguise western propaganda behind the term “experts”. So these days its not propaganda, because the information you get comes from “experts”, doesnt matter where these people got that information in the first place and who pays them, all you need to do is switch your brain off and mindlessly drink the kool aid western mainstream media feeds you and happily cheer on the next atrocity done in the name of the international rules based order

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."
@@briankleinschmidt3664 it's kind of hard not to participate in capitalism while living in a capitalist society
Everyone wants to be a communist until they have to pay the bills.
@@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. Paying bills just gives you more reasons to want a different economic system.

What the narrator is trying to say is that benign causes such as anti KKK activism have infiltrated by forces working against America, the banner calling for an end of US overseas bases is testament to that.
