What's your opinion of the guy? His Untold History series were based as fuck, he always stayed a principled critic of US Imperialism through the years, always in conflict with the libs for their bourgeoisie conformism and now at outright war with them for his refusal to join warmongering against Russia.
I think he's cool.

Seriously, just look at this shit. Colbert is literally a living caricature of rich, oblivious, arrogant liberal.

Nixon is a fucking masterpiece, and his films tend to be good. He's doesn't follow the typical liberal narrative and supports socialist goverments that are unpopular in the US.
Haven't watched the Putin interviews yet, but looks good.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Stone sympathizes with NazBolism or at least has met with some people in the Nazbol party. The dude has no problem defending Putin no matter what and in his documentary series spends a lot of time talking about how badly Stalin got screwed in WW2 by the other allies and how shitty everyone was to the USSR during the Cold War
So yes NAZBOL GANG
I think he wanted to make a film about Hitler at some point lel. The Untold History is the closest he has come to that project I think.
The Putin Interviews are embarrassingly servile — he's basically sucking Putin's cock in the name of anti-US imperialism for the duration of the whole thing.
Reminder that anti-Americanism divorced from socialism and anti-nationalism is conservative at its roots.
...
He does really seem to be dancing around the questions tbh.
As absurd as the Russia hysteria among liberals is, we shouldn't be under the illusion that Putin is anything other than a porky kleptocrat.
This is basically main crypto-capitalist talking point during Cold War.
No one on the left really is. But also let's be real - it isn't Putin who actively establishes a dystopian global financial system with no way out.
i THINK HIS DOCS ARE REALLY INFORMATIVE BUT THAT HES A PARTY LINE cia MOCKINGBIRD SHI
I think his docs are really historically informative but that hes a party line CIA Mockingbird Shill. Get rid of the conservatives and we will be okay.
He never suggests the solution is worker ownership of the means of production.

I don't like Colbert and his smug liberal attitude, but Oliver Stone really is beating around the bush. That's because deep down he's an edgy socdem at best — he supported Obama in both 2008 and 2012 — who simply want to take a shot at Big Bad America, found the perfect opportunity to do so by shilling for its arch-nemesis Vladimir Putin and won't admit that his interviews were spineless pandering at best.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm referring to the autonomization of anti-Americanism from a properly leftist worldview. What used to be a materialist critique of Western imperialism basically turned into support for whoever opposed the US regardless of the political content of their reasons for doing so. There is a reason why Fascists support Russia, Iran or Syria in the name of anti-imperialism?
That's true though. :^)
Or maybe he knows you can get more information out of people by having a normal non confrontational interview. Colbert would have shat his pants sitting in the same room as Putin.
There is a huge difference between being "non-confrontational" and being timorous.
By the way, Oliver Stone openly sided with Russia on the issue of the conflict in Ukraine. I see no reason not to call him a Putin shill.
I think he sided with the people living in Ukraine. Stop buying into this Putin hysteria
...
And you sided with literal neo-nazis and puppets of neocons?
Holla Forums isn't exactly reputed for its intellectual brillance but it really switches to retard mode when it comes to Russia, I swear.
he's a dumb liberal.
He critisized him though. Have you watched the interviews? Apparently merely mentioning the meddling of the US is now considering "sucking Putins cock".
Unfortunately this is the case 90% of the time when in it comes to Putin. Some people hate him so much that would support anyone against him, even nazis and jihadists.

I think he is more "woke" than normal due to being forced to fight in vietnam, but besides that he seems like a left liberal who just likes to pal around with any figures that are anti america.
Good quality shit, but he has that thing that certain autofellating ego that Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Spacey, or Stephen King has that makes their work kind of insufferable.
