Hollywood Works for the Pentagon

According to released government documents obtained by investigative journalists Tom Secker and Matthew Alford, the US military has controlled the production of over 800 American movies and 1,000 TV shows. They oversaw popular films like Top Gun, Transformers, and Tomorrow Never Dies, but their hand also extends into other genres, like horror, documentary, sci-fi, and even talk shows and culinary series (even Oprah and Top Chef are on the list!).

This is just one part of a broader pattern of the US military taking over every aspect of civilian life. Factories become weapon producers, universities become military science labs, energy research makes bombs, oil companies fuel fighter jets, and Hollywood turns into a war propaganda machine.

On the silver screen the Navy SEAL is a fearless freedom fighter, the CIA agent is an unsung hero. But in reality, the US military slaughters millions worldwide and the CIA sells guns to death squads that kidnap children and murder families.

Workers Voice Socialist Movement

We are workers, employed and unemployed, youth, students, and seniors. We are multi-racial and multi-national and organize for the unity of the working class. We are funded by and for workers, for the liberation of all workers and oppressed people.

We organize for jobs and higher wages, against racism, women’s, and LGBTQ oppression, and for solidarity with immigrants. We organize for community schools, lower rents, and food on our tables. We organize for workers’ power so that everything will one day be removed from the capitalists’ private ownership.

We oppose the Pentagon, which is looting our tax dollars and handing them over to war-profiteering private companies, while social programs are gutted. We oppose war for empire which is pursued only to lower our wages and plunder the world’s resources while destroying the environment. We reject the monopoly media who feed us lie after lie.

The labor of workers produces enormous wealth here in Louisiana, the U.S. and the world– so much wealth that everyone could have housing, meaningful jobs, education, healthcare, and genuine equality. But this wealth is stolen and privately owned by the capitalist class for their greed and profit. We believe that we, the workers of the world, can unite in revolution to overcome capitalism and build a better world.
