Have any of you watched this docu-series? I was searching for the movie “All Quiet On The Western Front” to add it to my watch list.

When I found it I started to look through the recommended “similar” movies/series offered, and I saw this thumbnail that had a bright red background with a gold leaf crest that reminded me of the Soviet coat of arms.

That plus the title made me suspicious so when I clicked on it to see the description, imagine my non-surprise that communist leaders were mixed in with actual fascists.

I haven’t bothered to watch this six episode documentary due to this stupidly common conflation of Stalin and Hitler. But maybe it’s different? If any of you have watched it, I’d love to know if it’s the same shit as always or actually something refreshing, a bait-and-switch perhaps. I just don’t want to waste my time on bullshit lol

    Haven’t watched it, but I remember when it came out and other people did. It’s exactly what you think, just a bunch of anticommunist bullshit equating socialist leaders with fascists.

      Are they projecting the brutality of fake residential schools onto Communist regimes with the savagery, cannibalism of family members, and deadly experimentation experimentation on enslaved Indigenous children?
