Animated Soviet Propaganda - American Imperialist: Ave Maria

1972, I Ivanov Vano Soyuzmultfilm

Eighty-nine years after the Bolshevik October Revolution (and 16 years after its collapse), Films by Jove is releasing a 4-DVD set called Animated Soviet Propaganda. The set is based on 4 dozen rarely seen shorts produced by Soviet government agency Soyuzdetmultfilm from 1924 to 1984. Films by Jove acquired the rights to these shorts in 1992 and has since then digitally restored approximately 50 hours of film.
Since these animated movies were intended to win the hearts and minds of the Russian people, all of them have a strong anti-American, anti-German, anti-British, anti-Japanese, anti-Capitalist, anti-Imperialist, and pro-Communist slant. Many of them also feature anti-Semitic and other racist images. There is approximately two hours of documentary and six hours of animated films.

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?

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.

Anti Japan? Meh sure

@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.

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

@VanillaSwirlsOfDoom what??

@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.

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

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

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

Until the Federal Reserve was born.

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.
