Yep, he said it on camera. Even said he was jealous of the soviet filmmakers for not being beholden to the profit motive.

He def had more liberal tendencies, but at least could recognize material reality.

The interviewer was trying put words in his mouth but then George corrected him. Mujahideen and Al qaeda were both US funded terror groups. Then he tried to shift the blame of the crimes of the American empire solely on to the British Empire and Lucas again corrected him. 😂 Astroturfer ass interviewer!
