Funny how this anti-communist/fascist propaganda film clearly shows examples of the creeping statism that would be the base for further oligarchy/wealth/propaganda control.
The “newspapers” of the time were already tightly controlled and had contributed to the growth of the Soviet system before WWII hiding the actions of the Soviets.
Interesting that the “scale” is democracy and despotism when clearly a democracy is just as capable of despotism as anything else. Equating democracy with freedom was a not so subtle attempt at directed propaganda. The continued use of “democracy” to describe our republic is just one brick in the propaganda that has led us here.
