Chaplin was ahead of his time, a true free thinker.
He wrote speech in the 30's, and 80 years later it is still relevant and inspiring.

Very rarely do i get emotional after watching a video clip, but that was absolutely brilliant. It had a profound effect on me. I love it.

Yes it should go completely viral.
I have read those words once a year at a Coffee Shop's Open Mike every year.
The best speech ever and written by and performed by Charlie Chaplins "The Great Dictator" 1939. He got allot of grief for that movie.
A great man could only write from his heart for all of humanity.
Thank God they spoke these words.

Am I the only one here to find it remarkable that Chaplin made that movie in 1939....literally years before the USA got into in WWII? This was approximately five years after Hitler rose to power, but well after many of the events that turned his craziness into the biggest war in mankind's history. Perhaps it was Chaplin's way of trying to get Americans to wake up. At any rate, it was a poignant speech and quite a plea to humanity in general.
