Yes. But my point wasn't that communism was great. Just that it can be made look great, with nostalgic pictures or videos, or by looking at pictures of 1st May celebrations or the Spartakiad.
That video has absolutely nothing attractive. It's just some industrial machinery.
Have you not seen historic images of the parades of the NSDAP? Countless men and even civilians disposed in perfect aesthetics, not to mention the crowds of people cheering.
Is there one single historical photo of Lenin or Stalin with a crowd of ordinary people cheering them? It does not exist as far as I know.
The video has men building, fighting and conquering difficult environment. It has families, newborns and optimism about future. Of course it leaves out certain things. It's propaganda. I think it's pretty well done, but perhaps it's not for everyone.
>Have you not seen historic images of the parades of the NSDAP?
>This could be about anything. You could make the same video with footage from 2024 America.
Haha, yes, that is precisely my point. Read my first comment. With a good video and music, you can make communism look attractive. The fact that you don't like it is a matter of your personal taste, but a lot of people are affected by it. Read the video comments.
>An international sport event? What does that have to do with anything?

When I wrote that, I was clearly referring to crowds supporting National Socialism and / or Hitler. I wasn't referring to the Olympics of any other non-political event, I was talking about shows of political support.
There is a reason why many Russians are nostalgic for the Soviet Union.
After that, things got a lot better.

Have you never seen the Spartakiad?
This could be about anything. You could make the same video with footage from 2024 America.

I want to see crowds with families spontaneously gathering to cheer on Stalin, like we see for Hitler.
