So I’m trying to cobble together a nice list of amazing/appalling chavista agit-prop videos for a piece I’m doing and I realized my readers probably have some amazing leads and forgotten gems to contribute.
As the intended audience is not Spanish speaking, I’m looking for strongly visual propaganda spots – stuff that highlights chavismos, erm, knack for over-the-top villification.
Things like:
So do you have a favorite chavista Two Minutes Hate vid in mind? Do your worst in comments!
How about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeTlE7CcQQM
Or, now that we are going down memory lane, how about this. Chavez vs. “la chica”
The deflections so as not to answer a direct question were vintage Chávez. Btw, when the camera is on “la chica” Andreína, Eva Golinger, who affects the role of a journalist, appears in the lower RHC of the Youtube screen, her mueca/risita around 0:56.
yes, a study in contrasts all around
The clow sais that Colombia have an armed conflict, but didn’t explain why the Venezuelan rate is 6 times higher! Me muero de la risa dice el payaso.
Because of its crassitude and disregard for the popular vote, I would suggest the ‘Victoria de Mierda’ speech by El Comandante himself.
Oh wait, just realised you’re looking for propaganda *spots*. My bad.
crassitude
Kiss it goodbye, I have stolen that.
This is not exactly what you are looking for, but it is so creepy, strange, and bizarre I just thought it was worth sharing: http://vimeo.com/40452523 (perhaps you know it already)
Gawd, that’s awful. Ranks right up there for the villification awards. Bizarre that a Spaniard is doing the voice-over.
The Spaniard voice is computer generated, its the same one used for Anonymous videos in spanish.
Seriously? Zionist AND neo Nazi? I thought that was an oxymoron!
The Cat,
In today’s world labels mean very little, we have to go beyond them to see what the real motivations are.Labels are just flirty little dresses that political people use to fool others, and gather adherents to causes that benefit them in some way.Even the common labels like liberal and conservative have little meaning when you begin to really explore them in the context of a political movement, or even an individual.
You missed one. He’s Jewish and Catholic and a Nazi. Perinola’s lead/gem wins the over-the-top award!
Outside the above context, one might consider both nazis and zionists as ‘ethnocentric’, the thing is that for every thing there are three labels , one descriptive , another laudatory and yet another derisive , for instance in Venezuela we talk about abogados, juristas and picapleitos, or about medicos , galenos and matasanos or about dentists, odontologos and sacamuelas.
Wow what a patuque filled with hatred! I love how the chavistas talk about love but teach hate.
Actually I don’t love it, that’s not the right way to say it, what it does, it fascinates me, the double discourse…
OK, so as long as were on the subject of videos and hating, PLEASE check out this magnanimously AWFUL convocatoria spot the MUD ran on TV. Its sublimely wrong in so many ways. I kind of want to turn chavista after watching it.
Maduro said today next week there will be new economic decisions that are going to make “el pueblo” very happy. I smell a Empresas Polar takeover.
Think that will make them happy? Even the diehard chavistas in my extended family acknowledge that the government-run businesses tend to be failures. And now the government threatens the flow of polarcitas? Pitchfork and torches time.
Curiously, a quasi-client who has a spectacular information source somewhere in the government mentioned that his source was making cryptic remarks about “precedent setting changes coming in the next 48 hours or so (on Friday) regarding law and the future of the country; he related that the context pointed towards something in the constitution.
I know this is not a chavista clip (or is it?). Just felt like posting it. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plpp&v=ClupauWAgiQ
By the way, this originally aired on election night during the first referendum (which HCh lost!)
A great project! My familiarity with the genre is inadequate for your purpose; I hope crowd-sourcing it can help. I have myself shown English-speaking friends two videos, one in which Maduro sneers at “maricones”, and the other where Chavez says something like “I am the people! And I expect obedience!” Good luck on this, it is important.
Todo tiene su final…

The most emblematically vituperative would be unedited version of the the expulsion of Patrick Duddy discourse given by The Man in Pto. Cabello. True, it’s directed primarily against the Americans but is a quintessential example of rubust dislike from the very Himself, so to say. And, whilst in Spanish, you need but one word the immediately catch the energetic thrust of it all.
I don’t have one but what would be neat to find is a video clip of the notice that ran on Venezuelan TV years ago. It went something like, “Some people seen in this broadcast may be DEAD”!
Not a propaganda video, but remember General Belch?:
OT: Francisco, I thought perhaps you might have some fun with this one: http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/53422
Is this for real?

I was looking for that profile VTV did on Capriles during the campaign, the one were they juxtapose a bunch of intense nazi images and stuff like that, but I think the batards took it off of youtube.
I guess that’s the kind of attack ad gringos are more familiar with anyway.
This one has English subtitles. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2012/feb/17/hugo-chavez-capriles-pig-video
What this thread needs to be pair with, is with all the “amor con amor se paga” and other romantic cheesy slogans from the red coats clowns. “Love” only directed to Chavez voters, dissents must be a piece of shit or something that are not included in the chavista” citizens (uhmm) love.
Some classics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQoh-8Addic – the famous ‘Yankees de Mierda’ speech, by Hugo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbIyOAHiEMQ – No me vas a provocar traki traki ;) a spot making fun of AD chairman, Henry Ramos Allup
“Eva prays for Adán… Chávez… if no one else is willing… Adam Sandler will not do”…
How do you make these links direct videos?
This is some of their most hateful propaganda:
These are actually kinda funny

Oh, and anything by pontepilas
This one, with the underlying message of “Itellectuals are burgoise, revolutionaries only work and obey”: http://youtu.be/t8Spi6CK0pA
