This speech was done by Charlie Chaplin it was done for the movie the great dictator kind of a movie parodying Adolf Hitler at the time since the movie came out in 1940. This scene in particular was meant to be more of direct jab at him which did strike some controversy at the time because we were not at war yet.

Yes, I clearly heard the jab and the call for sheep to take the wool off their eyes.

There was also the communistic ideology peeping through as well as a bit of utilitarianism??
