^ That's interesting, because one thing I thought when I saw that film was that that speech, eloquent though it was, could just easily be something that a fascist politician could have delivered, depending on the audience. I could easily imagine an American Nazi, for example, telling people "Don't go off and fight for rich men who just want to start wars for profit"(or however the line in the film went).
Though that probably had less to do with any objective correlation to fascist ideology, and more to do with just how generic the speech is; as I recall, it's pretty much just full of truisms that amount to not much more than "Tyranny is bad". Incidentally, in his autobiography, Chaplin states that, at the time of the book's writing, he had become an adherent of Social Credit, the "monetary reform" ideology that quickly degenerated into anti-semtism and seduced, among others, fascist extraordinaire Ezra Pound. So, yeah, he seems to have been ideologically naive, and not someone I would look to for serious political analysis.
