How is it 'Hollywood propaganda?'

The Bolsheviks were the enemy. You are talking about an interview with Erich Fromm who was a communist sympathizer. He admired Marx etc.

You have flawed thinking which is ironic.

Can't edit? I just wanted the post to be more suggestive than critical. I was hoping you would elaborate on your post, Maria.

If you ask me, the USA and their Governments have been pushing towards socialism for decades. People who want it will get their wish in due time.

The critique against Russia is more of an act than anything else. Imho.

I do not care if he is Marx or Smith's sympathizer... "A communist sympathizer" is just another cliché, which you were taught to consider faulty. Have you ever read Marx yourself?

I used mr. Fromm analysis in answer the initial post, where Russian were shown in a positive way. A cold war arrived in few years. And after WW2 US propaganda started to show a very different picture. As far as I understand the question was how could it happen that people accepted the change so fast?

In my veiw mr. Fromm gives a clear answer, which is very close to truth. Besides, we have a very similar situation in Russia now, which he sad. Moreover, if you have seen the interview till the end, you might have noticed that his forecast for Russia and US future is also coming true. And it has nothing to do with Marx (Ihmo his views is more close to anarchist than socialist).

And in fact I do admire the Americans of 1958, who were giving the word to the dissidents, which never happened in my country.
