I want to welcome everyone back to the Pekignano show.

Aaron's back.

How's it going on, Aaron?

It's going on.

Happy to be here.

We're going to talk about, we're going to look at a speech by a Nazi.

I don't believe it.

This is amazing.

I was just sitting a bird earlier.

You know, I'm coming on the heels of your closeout of Hitler's foreign policy with Thomas.

And I'm like, who the hell is going to want to listen to me after that?

Oh, I think, you know, if you remember that Gerbils at this time was still running around with a KPD, you know, that he, I mean, really up until the end, I mean, he, he ran with them for about 12, 13 years.

Yeah.

Then you start to, you know, when you, when you read some of the stuff that he's that when you read his

speeches or reads the stuff some of the stuff you wrote you're like oh okay that makes sense

this makes sense okay yeah so yeah having you on for that because um i mean i don't know that

you know as much about communism as thomas does but you know a hell of a lot more about communism than most people I know.

Yep, I'm a real comrade.

All right, just a little bit about this is, it is from January 9th, 1928 to an audience of party members at the so-called Hulsul for

Politique, for politics, a series of training talks for party members in Berlin.

It's Gerbil's most extended discussion on the nature of propaganda, all the more

interesting because of its early date.
