Video Project – A Tribute to Communism


May 12th, 2007 · · Viral videos

130,000+ views and counting.  This was my satirical tribute to the glorious accomplishments of many decades of communist governments around the world. After so many attempts in history, it seems the ideology still has legions of fans and supporters. The notion behind this film was to quickly explain how and why communism works exactly as it does on the state and the people living there.

YouTube and GoogleVideo are littered with sincere tributes to communist regimes around the world and throughout the 20th Century (like this one, this video, this one, this, that, this thing, and this one).

Seems only fair to raise the honesty bar a bit on them. Learn more about the basic concepts of communism here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism.

UPDATE: Over 8,400+ comments on YouTube so far and some of them are pretty interesting while others are hilariously angry. Check them out here.

Read the crazy HATE MAIL I get after the jump! :)

So here it is 3 years later, I still get hate mail about this film. Makes me think I did something right?

What’s fun about this is that I get hate mail primarily from two groups… one is staunch right wingers who think that film is a serious tribute to communists, and instead of actually watching it immediately launch into a tirade and mail it off to me:

comunism

how can you be comunist i mean comunism would take away peoples freedom be capitalist if you believe in freedom but i honestly think comunist are stupid thart makes you stupid so go to hell you fucking comunist.

fuck you
communist fuck. what a fucking stupid ideology to support. one that avoids thinking of the natural tendencies of man, a complete abstract ideation spawn from a completely abstract people.

Then of course I get mail from the communists who are upset I mocked their ideology:

Dumbshit
Your the biggest dumb shit I have ever read from. If you had done any research whatsoever you would know that communism works in Cuba. You would have known that if you had the ability to pull your head of your ass you capitalist loving fuck head.

And finally there’s the fantastic emails I get from insane crazy conspiracy NWO bigots:

well
what are a you, a clown or a jew?

But the Communist soul is the soul of Judaism. Hence it follows that, just as in the Russian revolution the triumph of Communism was the triumph of Judaism, so also in the triumph of fascism will triumph Judaism.” (A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Rabbi Harry Waton, pp. 143-144).

“His (God’s) intention will be realized through bloody struggles, wars and revolutions; the present social order will be destroyed together with all institutions that are bound up with the present social order. State capitalism and fascism will take the place of the present social order.” (A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 225).

“The invisible Money Power is working to control and enslave mankind. It financed Communism, Fascism, Marxism, Zionism, Socialism. All of these are directed to making the United States a member of a World Government.” –American Mercury Magazine, 1957

In this New World Order the children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.”
-Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, apparently printed by the ‘La Revue de Paris’, page 574, June 1, 1928

“The Bolshevist Revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, of Jewish dissatisfaction, of Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a New Order in the world. [a New World Order - sound familiar??] What was performed in so excellent a way in Russia, thanks to Jewish brains, and because of Jewish dissatisfaction and by Jewish planning, shall also, through the same Jewish mental and physical forces, become a reality all over the world.” – THE AMERICAN HEBREW, September 10, 1920
