The Netflix documentary produced by former President Obama and Michelle Obama‘s production company won an award at the Oscars on Sunday which saw the filmmaker quote the infamous rallying cries of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx during the acceptance speech.
Filmmaker, Julia Reichert, quoted Marx’s famous “Workers of the world unite” chant.
“Working people have it harder and harder these days—and we believe that things will get better when workers of the world unite,” Reichert said.
The quote was used as one of the official mottos of the Soviet Union before its fall.
Over the last century, communist regimes have been responsible for the murder of more than 100 million people, including those murdered by the Soviet Union.
The documentary film, American Factory, tells the story of a Chinese company’s purchase and repurposing of an American factory in Ohio.

Obama praised the filmmakers during the Oscar ceremony via Twitter:
“Congrats to Julia and Steven, the filmmakers behind American Factory, for telling such a complex, moving story about the very human consequences of wrenching economic change. Glad to see two talented and downright good people take home the Oscar for Higher Ground’s first release.”
Although there were mixed responses on Twitter.
Far-left activist Adam Best responded:
“The Obamas now have a movie that won at the #Oscars and Trump is still mad over never winning an Emmy. Imagine he’s having a hissy fit right about now.”

Do the Obamas also get credit for the filmmaker's quoting the Communist Manifesto in her acceptance speech? https://t.co/KtbN5VUG1m

I love that most of my twitter feed thought the big game away from her speech was “go Buckeyes” not the opening line from the f***ing Communist Manifesto. https://t.co/zHiHVfuoCE

....work that way. I have a better idea. Look at the Obama Book Deal, or the ridiculous Netflix deal. Then look at all the deals made by the Dems in Congress, the “Congressional Slush Fund,” and lastly the IG Reports. Take a look at them. Those investigations would be over FAST!

Last year, President Donald Trump urged Congress to stop investigations into his businesses and turn its focus on Obama's Netflix deals.
"House Judiciary has given up on the Mueller Report, sadly for them after two years and $40,000,000 spent - ZERO COLLUSION, ZERO OBSTRUCTION."
"So they say, OK, lets look at everything else, and all of the deals that 'Trump' has done over his lifetime. But it doesn’t work that way," Trump said.
