The Great Dictator (1940), directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, is a satirical comedy that mocks Adolf Hitler and fascism.
Chaplin plays dual roles: a ruthless dictator named Adenoid Hynkel and a kind-hearted Jewish barber, who looks just like the dictator.
As Hynkel plots world domination, the barber, mistaken for the dictator, delivers a powerful speech advocating peace and unity.
The film blends slapstick humor with poignant political commentary, offering a timeless critique of tyranny and intolerance.
Why Holocaust survivors compare Trump to Hitler
Most MAGA dumbfucks are so fucking dumb, they don't even know that they're ideological twins of the German Nazis.
Orange Hitler 2.0: A 2015 German movie, about Hitler suddenly showing up in the present, predicted Trump’s rise to power
Americans underestimate just how dangerous Trump really is.
Typical fascist propaganda: Orange Hitler claims if he doesn't get elected, liberals will exterminate Republicans.
Trump says: “If they win this election, every one of you will be gone. They will be vicious, they will be ruthless. They will do things that you wouldn't believe. But right now, because of me, they're leaving you alone. So please say thank you.”
They can’t see what they have become. They are the nazis of 2024.
OMG , this is Trump , the GOP and theirFN
Project 2025…..
Hello All, a huge Rally To Save Democracy is being planned for
Saturday October 5th , 2024 at the Lincoln Memorial in the National Mall from 10AM to 4PM. This date is exactly one month away from the main Presidential Election.
We NEED to protect the rights of our women and LGBTQ communities, and others .
At the DNC convention, Michelle Obama gave us the JOB to do "SOMETHING", and organizing a massive Rally For Democracy in DC on 10/5/2024 is us doing “ SOMETHING “.
> Our grass roots group to help Save Democracy, has established a Facebook Group Page to help promote a huge Freedom Rally To Save Democracy in Washington DC as stated above .
>
> Our Facebook Group can be found by searching FB :
>
> “ Freedom March To Save Democracy “
We have also created a small website for the freedom and democracy rally as well.There is a bit more information on this website.
www.freedomrallytosavedemocracy.com
Where you can leave a message
They had rallies in the 60s for racial equality and rallies in the 70s for women’s rights and we think saving democracy is just as important and maybe even more important. Trying to save our democracy deserves a rally to show we support and will fight for our democracy, freedoms and rights.
We feel , if this rally for democracy catches on, it will spread like wildfire, and possibly 100,000 to 200,000 democracy loving Americans could attend this event. This would be a huge historic rally at this critical point in our country.
We need to keep up the enthusiasm , hope and excitement that is being seen at Kamala and Tim’s rallies, and getting bigger. It would be great to see 100,000 to 200,000 Democracy Loving Americans at the Lincoln Memorial coming together as a way to show the nation and the world that most Americans will fight to save our democracy and freedoms.
>
> In the 248 years of our Democratic Nation, countless men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice and have died fighting to preserve our democracy. Now it is our turn to save our democracy and our personal freedoms.
>
> This would be a huge effort and we are hoping that President Biden and his administration, and the Harris /Walz Campaign team would be able to help with this historic rally to Save Democracy .
> A stage could be set up on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where
> motivational speeches could be made by President Biden, Kamala, Tim ,
> the Obama’s, celebrities and others
> Once we get out the word and advertise this Rally for Democracy widely , I think there would be a huge ground swell of support and enthusiasm from the general public who would love to be part of this historic event.
> We have to show Trump , the MAGA Cult , the GOP and especially those people who want to put in place Project 2025 that would decimate our Democracy and our basic rights, that we are not going back and we are NOT going to stand for this Authoritarian future at all . Project 2025 will be devastating to women and the rights to their own bodies.
> The plan in this manifesto would roll back the rights of our LGBTQ communities, eliminate help to minorities who want to move forward, and negatively impact most Americans.
> We are not going back and are not going to accept this dystopian, authoritarian future without a hell of a fight to save our democracy.
>
> Their plans to overthrow our current democratic government and change it into an authoritarian dictatorship, where democracy is decimated ,is too horrific to even contemplate. We have to try to do something to prevent this at all costs.
>
> If there is any way you can help us get the word out to promote ( and even attend ) this rally .....Democracy and America will thank you. If democracy loving people in SubStack can copy , cut and post it in important places, that would be great
If not now ……when would we have a better chance before the November 2024 election to show our absolute love our our country and love of our precious democracy and freedoms.
> Thank you ,
Team- Freedom Rally to Save Democracy
Here is a text with a lot of information and links to some very good videos on what is going on with our government now , and what we can do to try to stop it and maintain our Democracy in our Country.
The first video was the original plan of this text “ Bombshell Expose of Trump and Musk plan for America”.
https://youtu.be/hnTBzgjme20
I did add a lot more information and additional videos. Please copy and pass it them every where .
Above : bombshell expose on Trump and musk plan for American democracy, and it’s horrific.
Here is another link to video that goes into deep detail of who the Billionaires are, what they think , and how they plan to create “Network States “That video link ( “ Dark Gothic MAGA: How Tech Billionaires Plan To Destroy America “)
https://youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no
Note : this video and all the contact information of how to contact all the Republican and Democratic Senators and Representatives was the main goal of this very critical text message.
I do not know everything about what is going on , but it’s important to get this information copies and sent out to as many people as possible, this is not a dress rehearsal.
If anyone else can post similar articles and videos, all the better.
If you post articles and videos, I will put them on my Substack posts.
Also, let me know what you think about the videos. We need to take action….. if not now ..when ?
https://youtu.be/sHAq1yP57rk
Above : Trump Warning Signs of his plan to destroy democracy.
This text / videos needs to be viewed, copied and sent far and wide to as many people as possible.
It talks about what Trump , Musk and the billionaires plan to do to destroy our country. They are following the Project 2025 authoritarian manifesto page by page.
They want us to be confused with everything they’re doing they want us to be complacent. They want us to be sheep, afraid to do anything ,well F it .
It’s our job to do whatever we can to stop Trump and Musk , and
Trump is trying to move so fast and Ca flood the zone with so much 💩 , in firing people and getting rid of anything that could hold him accountable for anything and it’s a plan of action that has been the works for years.
The video starts out with Republican James Comer ( chairman of the Oversight Committee) stopping to require Elon Musk to come in before the committee to explain exactly what he is doing in our Treasury Department and other critical Government institutions.
He is in the most sensitive areas of our treasury, the Department that handles Trillion’s and Trillion’s of dollars that pay numerous bills like , Medicaid , Medicare, Social Security, funding for School breakfast and lunch programs, Head Start early childcare programs etc….
The coward and complicit Mr Comer and the complicit Republicans in that committee, do not want the American People to know the truth, they don’t want musk to come in to be questioned about what he’s doing.
That is FN Comar’s job . He is awful and complicit, along with all the other Republican, senators and representatives who are helping Trump mask, and the billionaires turn over our democracy. They totally are going against the American people who put them in office and could take them out of office just as fast.
So these Republican senators/representatives not only in this committee, but all the Republican senators/ representatives, except a few, are going along with Trump’s takeover of our country.
They should be thinking about the long-term effects of what the billionaires are trying to do to our country and Trump and Musk and the the billionaires( like the ones on the front seats at his inauguration) are trying to turn the country into many
“Network States”.
Just Google “ Network States “ and you will see what the plan is to overturn our democracy . What they want to do is to create small “network states “all over the United States, small self governing places where they want kick out any low hanging fruit like poor people, people of color, immigrants, etc.
This is scary stuff and is actually happening in creatingBeta “ Networks States” in test sites around the world,. And now they have come for America .
Our allies all around the world are pulling for us to get off our asses and save our democracy ,get out there get in their faces, make calls , gather for huge marches and rally, stop traffic and have a national shutdown.
Do whatever we can at this point in our time, we cannot wait any longer.
So we need collectively to do something to stop this. Call all your senators ,call all the representatives, especially the Republicans , Republicans, Republicans senators and representatives.
Everyone can see that Trump is trying to take down any roadblocks that can stop him like they stopped him in his first term.
He has the Republican senators at a point where they’re afraid to do anything except cow down and except what’s happening , basically they are cowards. They are not representing the American people and are helping to march us towards a dictatorship.
It’s embarrassing, and they will be seen as complicit in this takeover attempt in the future ( if we have a future).
The Republican Senators and Representatives, are not considering the American people or their grandkids and future generations of Americans who would not want to live under a dictatorship.
We have had 249 years of freedom and democracy in our country, and this Democracy and our Freedom is at stake right now .
The Billionaires have it all planned out, and getting Trump and Vance elected was a major goal. Look up the connection between Vance and South African Billionaire Peter Theil .
They are putting Project 2025 in place which is having horrendous results… they even pushed through
Russell Vough( sp)? , one of the architects and authors of project 2025. This is awful as he is in a powerful position and also along with all the other cronies wants to overturn democracy.
You can see they’re pushing the age of white nationalist and eliminating the rights of the LGBTQ community the immigrants and women’s reproductive rights.
When are people going to get angry enough to take action and do something about it?
Again, we cannot wait to have a total takeover.
There are judges and Democrats throwing some roadblocks in, and if we the people rise up, it’s going to be hard for them to try to put through what they’re planning on put through.
Trump can be impeached for his truly illegal takeover of our democracy, but then we will have to deal with and take down Vance as well.
Trump has been a con man all his life and a cheat and the perfect person in place for the Billionaires and Project2025 ( and Putin)to use him to push their
If we can get information like this out to the masses, maybe they’ll understand how serious this is.. We have to get this information out to as many people as possible because who knows what they’re planning to do. I think someone is screwing around with my Substack site as well.
The daily , multiple calls to all the Republican senators and representatives and to Democrats as well , have to be consistent , every day by a wide variety of people. …and more calls the better , as this is very serious and they have to know we are not going to stand for this .
( there are Americans who are not able to get out to do marches, but from their home they could make calls they can email they can touch base with as many people that they know to forward the phone numbers and the links to have more and more and more people calling all day long. That is what is needed to show them. We need business and we’re not gonna stand for it. We have to at least try. We can’t sit on our hands and watch our country .up in flames.

Having studied film extensively for years, The great Dictator is one of my favorites! The speech is exceptional, and fits perfectly with the epoch… thanks for sharing it Oliver, I know I’ve been sharing it for many year’s!!
it is a magnificent performance, and a very important message. It should be sent to everybody possible. I’ve sent it out to a bunch of people who I think would take the time to read it an absorb the meaning. I hope everybody does this. Thank you for sharing this.
A few years back we had this video from the Governator about Trump https://youtu.be/vAWvl-g_6rg?si=s74MOyB_KG7M536f
Thank you for this link, too. I missed this when he was speaking right after the Insurrection of January 6th. Excellent speech.
Americans don’t get how vicious the authoritarians can get. Down deep, we squirm when we see atrocities.
As relevant today as it was in the 1940’s.
I wish more people saw this, saw The Great Dictator, understood how truly devastating WWII was and how we fight many of these battles still. A case in point: the Liar - your Orange Hitler (I love all the nicknames the writers of Substack have employed) is reviving an old political system that’s been refuted. But there are his idols: Xi, Putin, Orban - and the guy in Venezuela, all trying to bring it back.
Anyway, thanks for posting this. A whole new generation may learn about Chaplin’s genius. And maybe they’ll be inspired to read and learn more. Really - thank you!
Chaplin was blacklisted in America for being a “premature anti-Fascist” after the film. Hating Nazis was a duty in 1943, but a suspiciously soft-on-Communism habit in 1938. Are YOU a PAF?
Thank you, Oliver. I had never seen this movie nor that particular clip. What an amazing speech for our present dilemma. If only Hitler could have really changed like that.
EXCELLENT SPEECH! I listened to this every day during the election. I still listen to it every few days. PLEASE listen to this most truthful speech by Charlie Chapman. It's worth the few minutes of your time. Then pass it around! WE MUST FIGHT BACK!!!
I cried.
Made me cry and that is hard to do.😭❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
Chaplin was targeted by J Edgar Hoover as a dangerous, subversive alien & who interpreted Chaplin’s film as a subversive, evil propaganda. He denied Chaplin reentry to the United States for years. Seeds of Trump, Vance, Patel, Hegseth, Gabbard, & other vile Republicans were planted long ago.
A great movie, one that should be resurrected and shown across all America, words spoken over 80 years ago are still relevant today.
A rallying cry…..
Check out the 1968 movie Shadow on the Land, available on YouTube.
It's a great movie!
Anger + Inspiration = Action
Keep getting angry.
Keeping inspiring each other.
Keep getting louder my beautiful people.
Keep on.
And we stomp out these few hateful Nazi sympathizers, autocratic, tyrannical heartless machine men. Together the world fights with us. We rise as one..
I am devastated that these words have yet to become Truth...
Thank you so much for posting this! My Jewish father, who fought the NAZIs in Europe, loved this movie and turned me and my sister onto it when we were kids, and we’ve loved it ourselves, ever since. If he hadn’t returned, we would never have been born. I never thought this speech would ever become so needed as such an urgent historical teaching moment here - in what used to be the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave.’ I hope America can find that spirit again within herself before it’s too late.
Back then, my father’s weekly guilty pleasure was Hogan’s Heroes. It took the world so long to finally be able to laugh at the horror of fascism and the NAZIs. How unimaginable it was back then that we could ever end up where we are today.
There is no God nor a kingdom of God.
There are Nazis and they worship their ego and call it God.
I love Chaplin for many reasons but this speech was stupid but attempted poetry.
In nature we have psychopaths and sociopaths and the people who run the god racket put those people in charge to expand their “kingdom.”
Everyone doesn’t love and everyone isn’t kind- some are psychologically damaged like Don the Con, Elon, Putin, & most all other Christians.
“FASCISM IS A RELIGIOUS CONCEPT.”
-Benito Mussolini
I never saw the movie. This speech was designed for the here and now.
Trump’s Queens NY JR. H.S. yearbook photo 👌
Unless your a maggot in which case you’re evil incarnate
Great speech
Charley Chaplan was outstanding on the silver screen silent era
No we are not all like that Charlie. Psychopaths & sociopaths exist in nature & it is the clergy & the religious who empower them. It did for Trump, Mussolini, Franco, Hitler & it will keeping do so until you find the courage to confront it & stoping giving it your allegiance.
Nailed it
I'm Jewish in Hawaii, (tiny minority) I think You guys gotta mellow out..try to fit in more, I'm not gonna stand with that sign anywhere..getting outta the past.. A-l-o-h-a
