Despotism (1946)

This video has been making the rounds on social media, and at first I ignored it because I figured it would just be a piece of propaganda meant to preach to the choir. I was wrong: this is actually an extremely intelligent and informative short film about despotism. (And despite being an American film from 1946, made in the immediate aftermath of WWII, it doesn’t give the US any sort of free ride at all – as you’ll notice from some of the examples shown silently in the background)
