The following is a short clip from a newsreel appearing in Japanese theaters in June 1945:
Arise, Workers of Japan! We bring you word of the International Proletarian Revolution.
In Africa, the British have succeeded in finally capturing all of Libya. This won't last for long, however: it will follow Morocco's lead. When the British put themselves directly in conflict with National France, it seems that the Nationalist French are better than the Syndicalists on that continent.
In Asia, the Communist International has decided to help our brothers of the People's Republic of Indochina spread the Revolution to all of Indochina. We have declared war on Siam, in order to free the people!
With our friends in Indochina now stronger than before, the ComIntern as a whole is strengthened! We are now more prepared to spread the Revolution internationally, with our home front secured!
After much deliberation, the Bureau of the Fourth Communists International has voted to sue for peace with Mittelafrika. This does not come easily, but with Germany crushed and annexed between the ComIntern and the Syndicalists, and there being more industrialized and strategic nations than Africa to liberate first, we need to focus all of our energy on efforts that further the cause of the International Revolution the most.
Just as we secured our position in Southeast Asia with the liberation of Siam, now we must help the Workers of the Middle East chase the Reactionaries out of their home! To do this, we have declared war on the feudal state of Hejaz.
We have defeated two minor powers, and brought freedom and Trotskyist-Marxism to their people. In doing so, we are consolidating our position, in preparation for the next of the great wars-to-come. The Revolution spreads, and soon it will be strong enough to take on all of Capitalism and Imperialism dead on, as the worldwide struggle continues!
