This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Let's not forget that major North American movies get funding from the military only if they paint the US in somewhat positive light.
It's a powerful state propaganda that works on exporting their "values" into the outside world - this cultural imperialism gets ingrained in our imagination and most people never get to truly understand that. To this day I can't fully shake off some positive associations with the US that were put in my brain since ~~choldhiod~~ childhood with the help of US media. It's disgusting, really.
There's a Soviet documentary "The Target Is Your Brain" that talks about this, about how different the image America projects abroad is from their actual circumstances. I think it is free on youtube. It's scary how literally every problem the documentary talks about has only gotten far, far worse in the 30 years since.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will watch it this week.
That was also my feeling when I was reading Lenin for the first time...
Yeah, it's always nice when I can get someone to read Lenin, because 90% of the time, they've had similar ideas to him, he was just good at articulating ideas all of the working class feels.
