Alex Jones is a nutjob. I'm sure he's making a nice buck selling movies like this.

 

I like that he sells a t-shirt about the evils of socialism, but he also sells a t-shirt with a George Orwell quote. Orwell was an open socialist.

I didn't know Orwell was a socialist, that's kind of ironic considering 1984 was used as anti-Soviet propaganda.

 

 

He was a hardcore anti-Stalinist. Orwell fought with Marxist groups in the Spanish Civil War. A sniper actually got him in the throat, almost killed him.

Helen Keller was a socialist too. Actually a USSR apologist. It's funny, because every kid grows up learning how she learned to write and went to college but after that it just stops and we know nothing of her adult life.

There's a lot of stuff like that you don't read until you are out of school.
