Excellent post OP, first time I've heard Chaplin speak. I loved him as a silent movie star, but fúck can he use that voice.

Washington Irving

I thought it was a parody of a Hitler speech at first, but wow

Chaplin promotes altruism in his speech; an attribute that will eventually lead to a totalitarian communist dictatorship. We need to promote moral objectivism, the individual's position in society, true democracy and the dangers of relying on others. Chaplin promotes a false choice and not individual rational decision making. The individual needs to be taught about reality, not about the seductive fantasies that reverberate alongside slogans such as "unity". These fantasies will continue to corrupt society until people realise their poisonous nature. Chaplin contradicts himself throughout his speech; promoting unity while also promoting true liberty and democracy. His speech is just as fallacious, seductive and deceptive as any of Hitler's speeches. They do not cast light on a human's true nature; it is only through realising one's natural instincts that will eventually enable the individual to tame them.

Chaplin's political sympathies always lay with the left. His silent films made prior to the Great Depression typically did not contain overt political themes or messages, apart from the Tramp's plight in poverty and his run-ins with the law, but his 1930s films were more openly political. Modern Times depicts workers and poor people in dismal conditions. The final dramatic speech in The Great Dictator, which was critical of following patriotic nationalism without question, and his vocal public support for the opening of a second European front in 1942 to assist the Soviet Union in World War II were controversial.
His European-made film, A King in New York (1957), satirised the political persecution and paranoia that had forced him to leave the U.S. five years earlier.

Who cares if Chaplin was a Socialist or whatever....the video is powerful and great to watch. let's leave it at that.
