Charlie Chaplin's speech: The Great Dictator - October 1940

MACHINE MEN WITH MACHINE MINDS

I've seen this video several times now, the latest through Monkeyfister's blog.

A speech where there's concern about everyone? Such idealism! If only human nature was so!

Was it Charlie Chaplin's warning, prediction, or just fiction existing only on movie script paper? As time passes, the more things change, the more they remain the same! Looks like people had the same problem with money and material things back then too. And boy it did make itself apparent in the 1930s and 1940s! Lessons learned, lessons lost.
