I saw that a couple of times decades ago, but I can't tell if it the original or a remake.  It looks newer.

Well, because it is history that is not taught in universities.

Also, there are some people who are running around in America with communist flags and bad ideas.
They are uneducated about communism, what it is, how it destroys individualism, the economy and it is antithetical to freedom and democracy, and it is against human nature.

In short, communism is slavery of body and mind.

And YOUR problem is that you think that everyone who isn't a raging 90% Nazi must be a 100% Flaming Communist by default.  We really aren't!  Most of us us are in the 40-60% range of political views.  I just hope that someday you understand that.  It would make your outlook on the world a lot easier and our dealings with you a lot calmer.

It is clearly a "reddit", I was able to right-click thru to the off-site source and watch it.  Gotta get the training wheels off that PC, Cavebear ;-)

Not on a PC.  But yes, I sometimes don't know the clicks&tricks to use properly.  I admit my errors.

There you go.  As things get smaller, I am sure you will volunteer to be implanted with the D-chip.  Then no keys or mouse to worry about.
