Beatles - 1966 U.S.S.R. propaganda film

This is a 1966 Russian propaganda film which manages to get quite a few facts wrong. The "swimming trunks and toilet seat" description is from their Hamburg days. Brian Epstein was not from London. And the funniest: Notice how they call Brian Epstein a "fairy", without knowing he was gay!

[gerryono]

This video is 100% right when in regards to the depravity of pop-culture obsessed people, a phenomenon that has only gotten worse since that era

why young people cannot have fun and music in their young years? THAT is the time to do so. Fucking communists. They are massmurderers, vultures and criminals should be hanged while we play Beatles music! KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD! Death to communism!

@koolsmegel10 oh, and lol was a joke. It is a reference to the movie Airplane. "Surely you can't be serious?" "Yes, I am serious... and stop calling me Shirley."

[beeecraft]

@koolsmegel10 Yes, brainwashed. You assume an attack on communism when I oppose oppression and you defend it with a passion. The USA is guilty as well, but that doesn't erase the gulags, polish oppression, the Berlin wall, the control of many countries in the East that were only given their independence recently (e.g. Kazakhstan, etc.) that were the responsibility of those in power in what happened to be a communist country.

@beeecraft Brainwashed? By the way you probably live in North America as well, I am not brainwashed. Though the American/Canadian governments try to give the idea that communism is this "bad" type of government and it should be put down. In actuality it's not, it wasn't forcing people into labor camps and other things, you had a choice. And by the way I wasn't calling you "Lol" stupid...

[beeecraft]

@koolsmegel10 Funny how you go to the defense of your ideological religion without thought. I never associated any ideological platform with oppression, but if you don't think forced labor camps are oppression, then you have been brainwashed. Hopefully one day you will see that oppression is not linked to ideology, but to human nature. And stop calling me lol.

[beeecraft]

@koolsmegel10 No, it isn't. All illusions of righteousness all invalid. All subjugation on the population is oppression. There are no exceptions based on ideological preference.

[koolsmegel10]

@beeecraft lol, if by oppression you are meaning the power aspect, clearly you know that communism is completely different from fascism ;D

[beeecraft]

@gerryono So is obsession with pop culture a reason for oppression?
