1. Does the speech of the Minister of Propaganda seem familiar:
“Today, democracy, liberty and equality are words to fool the people.”
"In the future, each man will serve the interest of the state with absolute obedience. "
"The rights of citizenship will be taken away from ***. They are inferior, and therefore enemies of the state. It is the duty of all to hate and despise them."
2. Chaplin's speech, Our way out:
Greed has poisoned man's souls. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to the brutes- men who despise you and enslave you-who regiment your lives -tell you what to do-what to think and what to feel! Who drill you-diet you-treat you like cattle, use you as a cannon fodder.
Don't give youselves to these unnatural men- machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machine! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts.
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
