DZIGA VERTOV-1924-SOVIET PROPAGANDA ANIMATION [Compare with Obama/Dems]
You Tube ^ | DZIGA VERTOV

Click anywhere for video. This 1924 Soviet Cartoon captures the spirit of those who want to make the rich pay their fair share. Also interesting to see early animation from a Communist country. Ten minutes long, watch the first two minutes and the last two, if you don't have 11 minutes. Weird, surreal stuff.


TOPICS: Arts/Photography; Humor; TV/Movies; Weird Stuff
KEYWORDS: soviet
Click anywhere for video.The content of propaganda hasn't changed too much, only its sophistication. The Soviet version was actually more honest than what we get today from the Obama acolytes.

That is a dead-on example of the class warfare under way now.

Perhaps this Nazi cartoon aimed at the French is more to your liking. It features Popeye and Mickey Mouse. The Nazi's are no more subtle than the Soviets. They also seemed to have no illusion that they were popular in France.

The fluttering eyelids were creepy as hell. Otherwise, this Obama campaign advert could use some peppy music (perhaps something by Kanye West).

That would be akin to Michael Moore having his own theme park.

What is so funny is that their physical caricature of a capitalist is a dead ringer for the “poor” in the Capitalistic USA.

I thought he looked a bit like Nikita Khrushchev.

OK, so I got up to the part where Al Gore got his in-room massage.

Then I lost interest.
