I never saw it or anything like it and never heard talk like this until I had a progressive teacher in the 6th grade who opened my eyes. He played us Joan Baez tapes (this was during the VietNam war time), discussed the difference between communism and socialism and made us write papers about this. He discussed concepts like this, but clips like this weren't available and movies/cllips were only shown in science classes.
