    There’s a Soviet documentary “The Target Is Your Brain” that talks about this, about how different the image America projects abroad is from their actual circumstances. I think it is free on youtube. It’s scary how literally every problem the documentary talks about has only gotten far, far worse in the 30 years since.

      Thanks for the recommendation, I will watch it this week.

      That was also my feeling when I was reading Lenin for the first time…

        Yeah, it’s always nice when I can get someone to read Lenin, because 90% of the time, they’ve had similar ideas to him, he was just good at articulating ideas all of the working class feels.
