มุมมอง 155K16 ปีที่แล้ว
1958 film from former East Germany is a mix of propaganda and advertising: the first half film praises the general progress achieved during 1958, the second half advertises the choice of Christmas gifts available at state-owned Konsum stores. The latter part is rather ironic considering supply shortages existed around Christmas for handkerchiefs, mens socks, towels, underwear, linens, outer clo...

    Western style advertising for Soviet Bloc garbage.....if and when it could ever be found and purchased. Demise of East Germany and reunification with West Germany was a wonderful achievement. Poor Joe Stalin thought he had permanently stuck his finger in the west's eye, but the west had the last laugh.

    *The advertising of capitalism if it is 100% consumerist propaganda that reflects a false reality about a product, on the other hand, in the GDR the products that people can consume are shown, since in the GDR they do not live in former times as if many capitalist countries suffer where he who has money can buy, but he who has no money is lost.*

    East Germany was the most prosperous country in the Soviet Bloc. During the 1970s, when he UK was in economic dire straits, East Germany's per capita GDP was almost equal to Britain's. BUT, the respected CBS news journalist, Eric Sevareid, attributed that to them being German, not communists.

    • @mikaduplessis2348
      @mikaduplessis2348 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is actually a fair point, to be honest. Germany before WW1 was the most prosperous in Europe, it achieved high levels of economic growth in the buildup to WW2, and West Germany became an industrial titan pretty quickly, and Germany today dominates Europe economically. Maybe there is something to the idea of German industriousness. Of course, East Germany's per capita GDP was in many ways dependent on how the Soviets behaved. When the Soviets were in reparation seeking mode in the early days, its no wonder why people went west in high numbers. They stripped it for parts, basically. When East Germany was the frontline of the Soviet Army in Europe however, it got tremendous amounts of inflows of investment from the USSR and from other Warsaw Pact countries. Housing and supply the 3rd Shock Army has some economic stimulative effect, after all.

    • @marcbrasse747
      @marcbrasse747 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Point taken: A socialist brainwashing might in the end have led to people actually acting more socially, but since the system was totally hypocritical (again: as are all other systems of power) virtually nobody still believed in it in the end. That is actually the biggest crime of all. It killed humanities best hope for a better future and gave capitalist and facist systems endless arguments to dismiss socialism. No better advertisement for capitalism then stalinism. And people will rather take easy shortcuts then actually see the difference between socialism and stalinism. Furhtermore: Are all people who used to be brianwashed into "sceintists" in the U.S.S.R. so educated that they now accept the same bad leadership from just another dictator? Ah well, at least he does not still claim to be a communist.

    • @SMGJohn
      @SMGJohn 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Marc Brassé How the hell is Socialism hypocritical? It is a system it has no thought of its own. Majority of people believed in it actually, I guess you do not quite understand the repercussions that happened after the destruction of Socialism in the east, people protested over adoption of Capitalism, people rebelled but as usual here we see the fine example of western brainwashing ignoring history as always. Stalinism is not real, it is a pseudo word, Stalin never contributed enough theory to be called his own, Stalin was inherently Marxist-Leninist even though he wrote a few books he does not justify it to be called Stalinism. USSR educated more scientists, doctors and engineers than any other country at the time, so I say it was pretty Goddamn good brainwashing if you ask me. www.rt.com/politics/340158-most-russians-regret-ussr-has/ Contrary to popular belief, a lot of Russians are disappointed with the current situation in their country which is understandable, life was indeed better under Socialism.

    • @marcbrasse747
      @marcbrasse747 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll absolutely love to discuss this stuff with you further but would like to ask you to not take anyhting of it personal. The first mistake people always make is to assume that there is a "we are good so the rest must be bad / worse" situation. My main argument still is that systems of power alwys seem to lead to similar outcomes. Stalinism being a propper doctrine or not, it is a fact that socialsm already fell when the free(er) soceity directly after the communist revolution began to fall apart. Lenin's death only quikened the exisitng power struggles. It's comparable to the situation after the French revolution, which in the end led to the rise of Napoleon. Going back less far: One could even argue that Russian history had already been rewritten by the section that won what was basically a civil war following weak leadership. My main argument again being: Revolutions might have long lasting effects but in the end they only lead to the installation of just another elite. It's all part of human nature. Please take a look here: www.brassee.com/20elements.html

    • @marcbrasse747
      @marcbrasse747 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      P.S. Interesting link. Remark: Putin does not call the fall of "'communism"" a shame because he wants to reinstall socialism but because the empire in which he grew up and of which he was an aspiring member fell apart. He probably thinks his he is fighting a holy war to revive that empire. There are however no signs at all that he is or ever could become a social(ist) leader.

    • @SMGJohn
      @SMGJohn 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Marc Brassé There is no such thing as Stalinism, Stalin himself never contributed enough to Socialism to warrant his own theory, he was a Marxist-Leninist till his death. You say part of human nature but all scientific evidence suggests otherwise, people say USSR was so evil and a cruel dictatorship with no freedom and yet USSR had no copyright laws, the Soviet film industry is a PRIME example of real freedom, the Soviets outproduced Hollywood in movies and had a vastly bigger variation in movies, yes there were movies with nudity, yes there were movies with extreme violence, yes there were movies that criticised the government in USSR. They had Rock n' Roll, they had pop music, they had VHS they had everything you had in the west but even more affordable and more available, a family could afford a personal computer in 1988 in USSR by working 5 months, in the west you had to work a year or even several years to afford one because life is expensive in the west. Today you get thrown in jail for downloading a piece of music, viva la freedom am I right? Police shootings in America, find me ONE police shooting in USSR. In Socialist countries you could walk out at night without fearing for your life, Socialism were the first to have equal rights among women and men that is a historical fact. Are there things to be criticised of USSR and Socialism in general? Of course there is, Socialism is a system that self criticises itself in order to evolve. It is the very nature of the system, when you stop doing that you are running towards a path of destruction. One of the biggest issues with Socialist countries were the fact that they were culturally conservative, they should have opened up more and exported soft power instead of relaying on hard power, this would have been far more effectively seeping Socialist success into peoples minds. By closing off like they did, they only made people in the west more suspicious. Putin is an Oligarch himself, if he wanted to reinstall Socialism he would have to abolish the entire Free Market in Russia and every elite would have to be jailed. There cannot be an Empire under Socialism, because Socialism wants to spread its own ideology not control other nations to do their bidding, if your argument of Imperialism in USSR was right they would have invaded the entire African continent to enforce Socialism and suck their resources, but no they did not do that. instead the west is the one who are Imperialistic even today they start wars left and right to enforce their Empire on the entire world.

    Basically this is a capitalist advertisment and makes one wonder what the real difference was. We do have freedom of speech but that often is equal to the freedom of not being listened to. We also still pride ourselves on living in democracies but these have also become diltuted into a meaningless farces. So by now I get the feeling the extremely different principles of yesteryear in the end led to very similar systems in which small elites are only interested in their own gain.

      Hm, interesting thought. But tell me then: What is the difference between a tractor and a car? That is actually very near to my argument. For ``modern`` people there might be a world of difference between both but when you start with describing their basic functionality (4 wheeled, combustion engine driven transport vehicles, which are only a few terms which already impy how close they are) you'll need a lot more words to explain the exact difference. Just try it!

Public Ownership is re-introduced! I don't know German language but from the film I can fully understand what idology the film maker wanted to tell! I travelled also to some Former Communist Countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Czechs, How come Communist turns the Countries so strange and Weird! and Smell sour everywhere every corner! and Officials enjoy telling Exaggerate and Lies Words and Official announcement! and China enjoy making fake product, just because of the Officials and Business Collisons! they can together crash your house and Factories at anytime, day time and mid-night when you are sleeping! the "Land reform" policies is re-introduced again, they said it is mainly to change the rural farmlands to Urbanization but in my parents word, it was to share their farmlands to the tenants or other farmers! Many Landlords were killed brutally that time! Owning some properties commited crimes! If Communism is good and making the Country a paradise, why they have to shut the door and don't let Foreigners to Visit their Countries, and they have to kill almost all the adults but to keep the farmers and children alive! Communism is totally a terrorism and it ruins! and they always hold military parades! If without the Soviet help, the Communist China will not have such a vast territories! Because China was a land where used to have more than hundered Countries in the past, in China, Each provinces have their own Cultures and food! We want stable life, not Big land, although it is resourcesful, but it is useless because the Communism ruins and corrupt them only. poison water poison food, poison wearings, poison furniture, are Great productions in China! and the Communist China keeps doing and making things terrifying the people every day every seconds.

    Not exactly. Overall there's been greater government involvement in the economy over the past 30 years, so that's not a good argument. There were Capitalist elements in Socialist countries like the USSR, where does personal responsibility and the actions of individuals factor into your economics? The main problem with our modern economic predicament is Federal Reserve banking, free trade, illegal immigration, and deregulating Wall Street. But Marxist style Socialism is not the answer.

The quality of life was lower than in the west and the people significantly less free in essentially every way. Even if you are a socialist, how can you see the GDR as anything but a failure to achieve the goals of socialism? Or is a bad state without capitalism better than any state with it?
