Animated Soviet Propaganda - American Imperialist: Ave Maria

[NorthernStorm8]

Weird that the communists should use such strong religious imagery in their propaganda.

Still, I suppose hypocrisy is to be expected of such filth.

[HHHPPP8]

@NorthernStorm8 This is a political agitation, which reflects developments in the West, but not in the Soviet Union. It is not surprising that there is used a religious theme.

I get goosebumps every time I see this one. They haven't learned anything; now they kill in Libya, and soon in Syria if we don't stop them. They lie cheat, steal, and murder while claiming to be lovers of peace and freedom. They don't care, they never have, and they never will.

The irony is that the US never was an imperialistic nation. The roots of American slavery is in the British Empire but the US itself after receiving it's independence never went out for imperialistic conquest.

Until the Federal Reserve was born.

@chica476 I would say 911. Not that I'm a big anti-American or something...

[MrRedpartisan]

@AlexNOSAM Are you so sure of that. In 1898 america have taken over Cuba and the philipine. In 1893 america have invaded Hawaii. In 1846 to 1848, america have invaded a part of the Mexican territory to expend. And still, the fact that america have military base all over the world is a sign that the US is an empire.

Lenin was a jew. Russian communism was a jewish movement. Maybe this is at least partially where your eastern european antisemitism comes from.

[redarmy1313]

@nakedscrewmonkey lenin actually said "Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations."

What is so wrong with our species that when given the choice between luxury and peace, we always choose luxury?

What is so wrong with our country that after nearly 60 years constantly at war, we still turn our noses at those who want peace?

What is so wrong with our government that they'd rather fight wars on behalf of foreign investors than preserve peace on behalf of the American worker?

And for those who can't ask these questions, what's wrong with you?

[VanillaSwirlsOfDoom]

Lenin was definitely anti-Semitic. So was Stalin, and a large portion of the population of the U.S.S.R. The same is still the case in Russia. It's extremely hard to be a Jew in Eastern Europe and this has been the case for centuries. The USSR did regard all religions as useless, but also saw Jews as a different ethnicity. Jews couldn't register as Russian in their IDs. And Akibadono, Nazis weren't the only anti-Semitic European power at the time.

@VanillaSwirlsOfDoom ok am bold now.

[capchio]

@VanillaSwirlsOfDoom what??

[VanillaSwirlsOfDoom]

@capchio It's a response to other comments, one of which seems to have been deleted.

[zfan2591]

Lenin was antisemitic, that doesn't mean that every leader in the Soviet Union after him was. The USSR was an atheist state, that means ALL religions were regarded as useless.

[redarmy1313]

you forgot some weren't like lenin

[rcm2680]

America FUCK YEAH
