Only Fidel Can Provide Candy (video)

Excerpts from what is possibly the greatest propaganda film ever, Ron Ormond's 1971 commie-bashing If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? Be forewarned, the commies do some awful things to these poor kids, and it can get kind of revolting. Portions of this film have been sampled heavily by Negativland, including their classic Christianity is Stupid.

The first clip was found on one of the Chunklet / 5 Minutes To Live DVD volumes.

Actually, Negativland didn't sample this movie, they sampled a different recording of the Estus Pirkle's sermon which the movie was based off of.

the more you know...

1:17 top right clip:
how does a standing person have
their head cut off with a vertical slash?

plus, the accents of the commie goons switch btw fake cuban, (unintentional) fake french and southern hick effortlessly within the same sentence/

I have to say that logic of Castro being able to bring you candy while Jesus can't is pretty darn solid. Cuba's been a major sugar exporter forever and even the Bible doesn't claim Jesus ever did a candy miracle. If I were on the Christian side there I wouldn't be spreading that message I don't think... it's meant to be exaggeration, but it's an iron clad argument!

Mark Allen reposted these and his commentators left some pretty interesting links:

The Believers Heaven was especially mindblowing.

Actually, the communists actually pulled this stunt all the time. My uncle was raised in Hungary and they pulled the candy trick on him and his classmates in the early 1950s. The stunt is replicated in the movie "Europa Europa"
