Soviet Propaganda - Ave Maria, 1972

Propaganda from 1972 chastising the US for being in Vietnam. Really interesting style, almost like cutouts.

Many people will just deem this video as "propaganda" But it really shows how much of a tragedy the Vietnam conflict was for both sides.

My favorite part of the video is the playing of Ave Maria with police brutality to the peaceful protesters. Theirs no such thing as freedom of assembly in this country, our politicians say you have these freedoms but then when you go out in the streets to use these freedoms the politicians send out the fascist police to beat you up as if you did something wrong. Anyways great video. *Thumbs-up*

@FQBeast someday, the fat fucks of the american government will just have everyone who isn't closed-minded redneck shot, they're already attacking the internet with their goddanmed SOPA, i feel as if i'm being watched sometimes, someday the government's going to have the american people fucked in the ass! the fucking economy already failed because of ignorant hick george w. bush! someday, it'll go beyond incompetence, someday, they'll be just like nazi germany! damn the american government!

@cbohar84 In the Soviet cinema was forbidden to show the religious iconography only if the action of the story happened in the USSR. In the film, which is set, for example, in England, the use of Catholic elements was not forbidden. Plus, this cartoon at the western theme.

For an atheist nation like the USSR theres a lot of religious iconography in this clip

all good propaganda has an element of truth

This is not propaganda, this is truth.

@Deleau777 Well, you got a point there. Communism is just another (more restrictive, but internally peaceful) way of life. Terrorism is a new way of kill. And, if we meant about Cold War, MAD would have destroyed both Americans and Soviets.

@MultiDarkness12 I think you mean Iraq and you. And you know...kicking ass killing terrorist. Though if it was a terrorist vs a communist id join the commununist.

@Deleau777 Nice, nice. By the way, I heard you had it rough at Iran. How was it?
