"Socialism is when the government does stuff" classic
This TH-camr is clueless, thats fact.
Yea that's kinda what socialism is. Socialism is when the government seizes the means of production and a dictatorship of the proletariat is established.
@sneed feed Socialism is when the workers own the means of production.
The USSR for example does not meet this requirement. However, this becomes clear once one sees that its state ideology was marxism-leninism.
Marxism-Leninism is an ideology that combines state-capitalism with the dictatorship of the communist party. The party is supposed to transition the state towards actually being socialist.
@@carltanner7461 That happened in bolshevik russia lol. Did you forget New Economic Policies? Workers owning the production just ended with the fall of production. Pick a history book, commie.
@sneed feed Ayo nigga where you go??
Also, I love how gen-z screams "amplify black/asian voices", "listen to black people when they tell you about racism" etc. but won't listen to people who actually experienced communism (eg. people from easter Europe) and talk openly about how horrible it was.
I could spend 5 hours retelling stories of my parents waiting 3 days in line to buy meat or toilet paper. Or how they shared one orange between their family od 7 people, because someone from US sent them a package.
Tell "wokes" that ask a cuban what truly communism is. Or, that they ask a venezuelan, like me... or, maybe every single easter european that suffered from communism, chinese that grew up in China, north Koreans...
"Woke" people don't give a fuck about us, they just want to have always the reason and that they are never wrong... this isn't a true feeling of helping, it's them wanting to "feel" heard, they have attention issues, and they feel that they're useless, so "wokes" use this movements as an excuse to receive attention.
I mean, the majority of "wokes" are dumb and never listen to things they don't like, so they're man childs that don't have their own opinions, they copypaste famous movements and that's just it.
the great thing about living in a free country (well it used to be anyway) is I don't have to listen to anyone about anything
Just see how they react when you tell them you regularly watch Eric July, Officer Tatum or Lauren Chen. No, you weren't supposed to listen to *those* colored people! Only the people of color that agree with us!
they don't even listen to colored folks about racsim unless it echoes what they want to hear.
That's weird, there is a video of an old man from Soviet union, who went up to these communist kids and have discussion about communism. He was being reasonable with them. These commie kids were getting all pissed off about it.
Nordic model surely isn’t socialist. It’s capitalism with high taxes and distribution.
It's not even capitalism. It's a mixed economy.
yeah ik the tax is like 50 %😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
it's social democracy, the mix of capitalism and socialism bringing all the worst things about both systems
@@Y0hny I wouldn’t say the worst of two systems. Not a fan, but I think that’s exaggeration. Worst of two systems is something like China.
@@aras75akaI don't think people realize that all the largest economies are mixed economies. There aren't any actual true successful socialist or capitalist economies in the world currently.
i like how most socialists don't even know what socialism is, and how most anti-socialists also don't know what socialism is.
Spot on, it's one thing for anti socialists to not know what it is, but man is it annoying to have fellow other "socialists" who dont know what it is.

Comrade Enver Hoxha was going to show them true socialist paradise.
The couple came back after one year, the man with hair shaven, both very very "elegant"
and they spoke of communism no more. The kids in the video would not last 10 days.
Great story!
Unless they were really into communist. Lol.
I've been called a hippie. I'm just a hillbilly
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good for them
Let's get one thing straight. Communism IS better than capitalism, that cannot be denied. The only reason it fails is because unlike capitalism, it is almost impossible to hide corruption in a communist society. If humans ever become a mature enough species, Communism will be the de facto way to run things and that is fact. Capitalism works because it is very good at hiding its corruption and no country does this better than the US, the most hypercapitalist society that has ever existed. The US has an atrocious healthcare system, sky rocketing homelessness, no job support programs, an abysmal violation of worker's rights as well as no freedom for new parents to take leave from work to raise their offspring. DON'T blame communism, it is the government that f*cks things up, NOT communism. It is also funny how you attack socialism when literally every country that has socialist policies is doing better than the US is right now. I so sick of people not even knowing what it is they are talking about. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.

@@meeraj-4774 bro, if some of the essential workers that worked through covid didn’t work, most people wouldn’t have food, utilities, etc. And yet, these people, like those who work at grocery stores, get paid close to or exactly minimum wage. These people add a lot of value to society in order for it to function smoothly, and yet they cannot pay for most “debts” that people usually have to pay for (like rent, groceries, utilities, savings, etc). Why shouldn’t they be paid more or have their basic needs met? Are you about to farm your entire caloric diet? Do you think other people would? What time would we have for anything else in life?
Actually it’s not a correct piece of information that you couldn’t choose the job back in USSR. My grandmother wanted to be a doctor so she became a doctor. My grandpa loved physics and wanted to be a scientist so he became one.
At the same time it’s valid to say that you cannot choose the profession you want in the UK or in the US since tuition fees can be unaffordable for those less fortunate
Моя мама и его брат тоже жили в СССР и никакую профессию они не выбирали. За них выбрали. Мама говорит что ей вообще всё равно было, ибо за неё решали куда она пойдёт учиться, и где будет работать.

I love how one of the first points this woman makes is that lots of people starved and there was mass murder, but conveniently forgets to mention what happened during the days of the British Empire, a capitalist country, especially in countries like India where there was massive famines and many millions died. Real convenient that she leaves that part out. 🤔
bro shes white wtf does she care
You know what type of system didn’t have those mass murders? Fascism.
Because she is ignorant and has been brainwashed since birth to say what she is saying without thinking or looking at history. All her points are sentences anticommunists have been repeating for decades.
No current communist or socialist says “I want the USSR fully back” as she apparently believes.
The British raj was a monarchy
Bro go read a book. She's from the east, possibly Russian. I'm from Poland. My parents had to live most their lives through communism and no amount of your bullshit will change my mind on it. Please PLEASE read a history book
Just had a conversation with my mom about my grandmother’s experiences in the Soviet Union, and it does seem there was a certain amount of freedom in choosing a career, however certain professions were incentivized by the government by making it easier to get into university to study them whenever there was a shortage. We did indeed have a few relatives/acquaintances who were sent to different regions of Russia whenever they needed extra workers there so that part is absolutely true. Apparently my grandmother was a hairdresser and she chose the job herself, so it was possible to “pursue your dreams” but the pay wasn’t much different (according to my mom)
It depends on Stalin/ Lenin. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a writer and a poet so you definitely can follow your dreams but I'm pretty sure they will make your life infinitely harder by arresting you for idiotic things, as written in Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's books. Sometimes you will even feel better by being arrested because your human nature to critique will always slip up and you will always be tense with fear of being arrested. The gulag archipelago is a really good read and a book that really destroys communism at all.
Not much to buy with that pay either!

We East Africans considered The Soviet as our step father. As if the infamous famine wasn't bad enough we endured communism on top of it. Farmers restricted and lands made illegal to buy or sell. Resulted in famine deaths and dictatorship with 2 million gone. The only way to be rich was to be a politician. Oh well. The young people will not listen until it's too late.

Well, in their defense. In a capitalist society we have major issues like someone having more money than you, but in a communist country they have figured out how to remove that issue entirely by making it where people can’t afford food
Edit: I don’t think I was very clear, when I said “Someone having more money than you” was a major issue, I was being sarcastic. I was hoping that by comparing it to people starving that would help to clarify. But judging by some of these replies, I don’t think I was very clear. My bad

With capitalism one can always try to earn more then the person who has more than them.

My grandparents escaped communist SSR when they were young. They were a group of people called Mennonites, which the SSR did not like. I heard the horror stories about what they had to go through. So many people they knew were killed for not doing what the SSR told them to. They were some of the lucky ones though because a lot of the people who tried to leave Russia did not make it. So as a gen Z that has heard all of what they went through, I'm really against socialism and communism.
I am sorry to hear about your past, but SSR was totalitarianism just using terms like socialism and communism to justify their totalitarian regime. Socialism is equality in society, solidarity for each other and social justice. There was no equality, solidarity and justice in SSR.
Sorry what your grandparents had to go tbrough. And I agree.

@@RealQuarlie First of all, you don't know where I live. Second, I'm not sure what exploitation is going on in your head.

Without it, would not be so good! When there is tension and discord is is not at all a good sign. Check out the book, theTrue Believer by Hoffer. Plenty of people like that in the 1940's.
I feel like theres a danger to any political party/ viewpoint or affiliation. theres always a benefit and a catch to anything. I also feel like we cant compare the conduct of morality in other places that aren't in any way, shape or form connected to eachother socially or culturally, nor can we in terms of how we view morality today compared to centuries past
Imo some of what you're saying makes sense except you're missing one crucial point with your opening statement. No one is just a communist. Many of us call ourselves communists or socialists for the sake of simplicity but in reality it's a lot more complex than that. All Marxists are communists and socialist, socialism being the direct step after capitalism that was created to not only be able to survive and thrive in the face of constant capitalist imperialism and pressure being pushed down on them, but also put pressure on the capitalist system by merely existing. This is when the workers own the means of production (lmk if you want me to elaborate on the meaning of that), workers receive completely the fruits of their labour, minus a tax (put towards things that will actually help them like universal healthcare, education, in some cases food and homes aswell). None of what they generate will go to any higher ups, (unless that person chooses to do so via a democratic process in the work place (the democratic process is chosen by the workers)) which is what happens under capitalism, just simply look at how shareholders and many people at the top of the hierarchy recieved more than they produce. Most businesses would be voted on by communities based on their need or desire (depending on the material conditions of the world and country ofc, e.g. if the country were at war and were suffering severe shortages then many luxuries won't be voted on) and then would receive subsidies from the government (the money coming from their taxes). In this society everyone's basic needs of food, homes, education and healthcare would all be met except for in extreme circumstances.
Communism is a step then afterwards that focuses less on giving people money based on what they provide. It's difficult for me to explain really because I'm still learning ofc, but essentially the goal of communism is to make everyone's lives easier and better. In capitalism, automation is terrifying because it could put you out of a job, then you won't be able to afford your rent or your food or possibly your healthcare and education. In communism it just means everyone gets to work less, but the automated stuff produced still goes into their pockets if you understand. Under capitalism innovation in automation doesn't reach its peak because it is cheaper to outsource their labour to countries drowning in poverty with workers that are willing to work for dirt then it is to develop and maintain automation.
However you then move into many different ideologies like Marxist leninists, or Maoists, or Marxists leninists Maoist. Or guevarists or whatever you like. The left (the real left, not fecking soc Dems or liberals) is extremely varied with some people understanding the necessity of authoritarianism (Engels' "on authority" is supposed to be excellent, haven't read it myself tho) and others (imo naively) standing directly opposed to it no matter what. So if you think there is a catch to communism from a Marx's perspective, then go and plan out your own economy. Go investigate and see what you think is the smartest way forward. I think your best bet early on is to maybe read some Marx so you can understand why he believes what he believes and why he is the most influential philosopher ever.
If you want some reading advice I'll point you in the right direction. Sorry about the huge long paragraph, it's just a difficult conversation. As the saying goes, "it takes ten minutes to disprove a ten second lie".
These people are a disgrace to humanity and even communism itself because they're trying to associate an economic idea to all sorts of degenerate things
An unhealthy number of people use political teams as a replacement for critical thinking. Trying to have a rational discussion with one of these extremists (I've identified 4 types: neo con, neo lib, commie and n4z1) is futile. Because it is futile, I think war is inevitable.

Communism starts with the family. Pedophilia is the method of indoctrination.
No, OP, not with Liberalism and related ideologies. The core of which being limiting government interference in personal/private affairs, personal freedom. The reason this is so great is that the whole point is to limit government power, and if you limit government power, then there’s not much to even be exploited.

One of the strangest aspects of Marxist dialectics is the simultaneous strengthening of the state and the withering away of the state. The latter is supposed to usher in the Communist utopia. Never happens and in practice society always remains at the stage of socialism. None of the Marxist advocates ever tell us how we’re going to leave it behind. In the end the Marxist dialectic always results in the state becoming stronger and the tension between that and the ultimate abolition of the state in fact never materialises. We’re always told we’ll have a world free of alienation that’s a literal heaven on earth. What they forget to tell you is a heaven on earth had never been built on earth because human nature can’t be remade. That’s evident to everyone who has lived under a Communist regime. It would be terrifying if in America we had to relearn that lesson all over again.
Marx never want "strengthening of the state" he want public ownership
Communism isn't supposed to be utopian. Humans are imperfect creatures, we cannot be perfect. Saying that a communist society would be amazing is not the same as saying that it would be heaven on earth. Also, the reason socialist states haven't transitioned into a stateless communist society is because of constant meddling and interference from capitalist-imperialist countries such as the United States.
Oh man that kid was just so pure. He is just replicating somebody’s behavior, word for word. I don’t think he’s been brainwashed he is just copying behavior.

Both of my parents came from the USSR. My grandparents would tell stories about how shitty their lives were in the USSR. My grandfather even remembers sharing a crammed apartment with at least three other families. These people have absolutely no idea how it feels to live in a communist country.
They are correct in saying that "true Socialism/Communism" never occurred. Marx's work wasn't in agreeance with the Soviet Union or China, or "the state". A person shouldn't just passively accept the society we live in. Resources have limits in the end, and we have a very imbalanced way of approaching resource values/economy generally.
That being said, this need for a predefined "-ism" is counterproductive to whatever needs to actually happen to "balance and make competent of it all" in the most sensible way while maintaining a hierarchy of values. These people betray themselves by requiring some external "-ism" as a generic identity that can't be breached by greater reality. Even if this "Socialism/Communism" they speak of were to go into motion, they themselves would lack the actual force/power/arguments to lead it towards succeeding en masse. They'd very quickly, and very easily be usurped by powers that sought to exploit the nature of the "movement" by throwing the dog a bone, but never offering the real meat of substance required to fulfill the supposed "unified goal" that was there to begin with.
So, yes... history would likely repeat itself in some (simple way of saying it) sense. They wouldn't be in power in the end, but would be the serfs, the sacrificed, those incapable of sustaining. Essentially this "-ism" they push for would be their own Trojan Horse, their own undoing.
and it will never exist because Marxism is a form of Utopia, and a bad one at that. Utopias only work when everyone and every aspect of society works perfectly and with singular mind and common goal. That will never happen. But they will keep trying.
Spot on! It can work (which is not to say it is in any way superior to anything else) and has whenever there was sufficient social cohesion to do it. Buddist monestaries, Catholic Nunneries, early Mormon United Order communities etc... had "flourishing" communal systems because they had a goal larger than self that all rallied around. In a multi-cultural world that cannot succeed, like ever.
One of the things that the ism ruin for me is otherwise good concepts like equity and the balance of justice and mercy (neither robbing the other). Jay Hammond was a Republican libertarian governor for the state of Alaska. He was one of the key figures in establishing the Permanent fund. He did so with absolutely Libertarian (not Liberal) principles of the likes of John Locke who was arguably the most influential individual in establishing the economic principles of the founding fathers. He proposed going farther (and we should). The Alaska State Constitution recognizes that the natural resources belong to the people (and equally at that) and should be managed for their maximum benefit. By doing so in the manner the PFD does with oil, all needs to care for the poor, needy, sick, afflicted, touched etc... would be taken care of without robbing or taxing anybody (simply actually charging a rock bottom fair value for the resources they own in common). Alaska actually is rather attractive to oil companies despite this (so arguing that wont get you anywhere). There is no need for any ism, just true natural law principles like nobody stealing from anybody else can sort things nicely.
I know it wouldn’t work because they haven’t convince me and anyone I know, and if a bunch of pacifist hippies like us isn’t convinced, this just can’t work naturally and successfully on humans, you gotta use force. And having lived through the Soviet Union we would be more prepared this time to either not accept this without fighting hard, or (when noticing we’re doomed anyway), try to be part of whichever system is responsible for this forceful change, to try to be in a position of power this time.
Also, more importantly they would most likely become the tyrant's they think they wouldn't. It's not that necessarily forces would take control beyond them, it's that they would become so engrossed in their ideology to forget the common man's perspective and as soon as they realized humans are very difficult to fit into their views would resort to measures to maintain their vision. The people who often claim to be the virtuous and not "bigoted" can so very easily become the paranoid, controlling experiment driven intellectuals.
@@freefromthedark6784 Unfortunately that is true in any system. The government is always the regulator of all things (except in a natural ungodly state of anarchy where the strong crush all). You cannot do anything in the United States right now without govt. oversight. Russia has many freedoms we don't right now (exotic pets are far more common) crazy outdoor antics are far more possible, they are giving away free land in several regions by Finland etc... The idea that Capitalism doesn't have government in and through all things is a deceit. We are licensed, taxed, insured, approved, permitted etc... in everything. Heck even going to our own National Parks requires an entry fee as if we weren't the owners! Capitalism prefers corporate overlords to monolithic dictators. I prefer none.
Man..what happened to actually trying to fight communism? I’m embarrassed for my generation.
Wore the SAC patch in the early 1980s, babysat nuke laden B52s and we also were responsible for 150 Minuteman missiles planted out in Sven Svenson's tater patch on the North Dakota prairie. I felt a great deal of satisfaction in seeing Mr Gorbachev tear down that wall, yet now I see this malignant ideology we fought against taking root right here at home. SMH.
How have you fought Communism lately 🤣
Fight against communism stopped with ww2. Communism won. Now cope with it.

My mom had a thing for Che Guevara for a while til I laughed at a flag at Pride with him on it. My mom then said "Why are you laughing." I then replied.
"You do know Guevara had work camps to work the gay out of men as he saw it as bourgeois."
Suddenly her whole love of him changed to her barely ever mentioning him again. Any time I see a Hammer and a Sicle with a rainbow it tells me exactly how much this person knows about communist dictators.

Che Guevara himself answers this question,
"We executed many people by firing squad without knowing if they were fully guilty. At times, the Revolution cannot stop to conduct much investigation."
In other words, very few. Overwhelming majority were guilty of nothing.
Idiot.
Also funny that Che became a poster child for counter-culture capitalism. I'm all for figures who defied abusive authoritarian regimes (whether Che did that or not is debated) but to see him on T-Shirts everywhere in the 90s was weird.

Well I’m from Finland and I can tell few things about this. Finns went to CCCP with loads of bubble gum, because people didn’t get it there and lived like kings because of black markets. This was so common, that officials of CCCP were had to check how many tights/pantyhose people brought so it wouldn’t be so common. Distant relatives or their friends, who my grandfather visited asked to bring anything, even rusty nails, because they didn’t have even those. Also the CCCP tried to convince Finnish youth to simp CCCP and didn’t get power, but were otherwise succesfull. My mother was in one of many movements like those, but when they actually had a trip in the Soviet Union she said to my father afterwards ”this is insane” and sometimes spoke about insanity of her youth. If you still aren’t convinced about problems of socialism/communism, good news! You can start your own voluntary communist commune even in the USA without forcing other people to be part of that. One example of this is Hutterites. But most of personal stories from former Hutterites are about survival and abuse.

Young adults seem particularly attracted to the lure of communism, everyone equal everyone happy. The only time I didn't see this happen was in the 80s, most young adults wanted the traditional path, job/career, family, home, almost a return to the 50s, and there was a lot of criticism from their boomer parents about their lack of political protesting, fighting "the system", etc. Anyway thank you for being a strong voice of reason in your generation and I hope your message is heard by a lot of your peers.
We need more fathers at home helping children.
I remember being about 8 years old (this was in the 80s) and asking my dad why the government doesn't just pay everyone the same so they don't have to work. He explained why communism doesn't work to me in a way that I completely understood as an 8 year old kid. I never gave it a second thought after that. Why was I able to grasp this at 8, but these kids can't at 18?
That's because there was someone like Reagan who was working to make the system less powerful. No need to fight the system when it seems like its power is on a downward trajectory. Sadly, the Reagan years proved only to be a temporary respite. The Boomer conception was to make government bigger and more powerful.
interesting comment about gulag by her. usa, as of now, has the most prisoners ever to exist under any regime ever (both in absolute numbers and as percentage of population), ussr included. that is a verifiable fact. and what do you know, some of them are now "forced free labor" ( there is another word for it, though people in usa don't want to talk much about that) for for profit companies. is that result of capitalism?
So most parents of generation X, i.e. children and teens growing up in the 80's, were actually the silent generation, not boomers. Just saying. Which would make sense as to why Gen X just wanted a standard lifestyle.
Never in the history of the world, has there been a successful communist country - not one. Communism/socialism appears a worthy solution only in theory or on paper - never in practice. Misha, you should continue to present, translate & explain the context of the Soviet Union propaganda plaques. Thank you for your message!

As a satirical video this is a work of genius. The absolute irony of tough-on-crime neo-cons living in the prison capital of the world (USA) gleefully condemning the Soviets for being too tough on crime in the comments while lacking any self awareness at all is simply amazing.
No one is saying Soviets were tough on crime. Soviets arrested people for suspicions and thought crimes. Soviets experimented on their prisoners like the Nazis did. Many of these people did nothing wrong. Resenting the Soviets for taking your business away could land you in a gulag (just for your feelings). That's not what I would call tough on crime, that's tyranny. Now in the USA we have an oligarchy who would love nothing more than to take away all our property and put everyone in government housing government transportation and government everything else while they continue to keep their nice things and live the high life. The oligarchy wants socialism for us. But they will be above it all, just like the Russian elites.
If the USA is a prison, you should move to Venezuela or China, because I hear they love Socialism in those places.

Czechoslovakia in 1950 the gun ban was only to take away unregistered firearms; it only takes a little bit of research to see you've just tried to demonise a common capitalist policy that has been done across the board as capitalistic, not to mention the vast majority of dictatorships nowadays are capitalist: Russia, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Chad, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Swaziland.

You don't have to work hard to get money under capitalism. You have to do what makes money to get money under capitalism.
If that were true why do celebrities, influencers or entertainers get paid so much? Are celebrities, influencers or entertainers working harder than the average person?
If the idea of just working harder gets you more money then why do white collar jobs pay more than blue collar jobs on average? Is someone who sits behind a desk all day working harder than a construction worker? They are certainly getting paid more though on average.
You don't have to work hard, be creative, skillful, talented or any of that to get money under capitalism. You have to do what ever makes money to get money under capitalism. That is what matters at the end of the day under capitalism, money.

"Leadership in government is political power " Comrade❤
Who's here from Hakim's response?
Me lol
What's it called? I can't find it.
As a german with relatives, 2 uncles, in the German Democratic Republic (Socialist) at its existence till 1989, I can say: The GDR was a shithole. And the GDR was the most free and advanced country in die UdSSR. The environment was polluted in a way that was unbelievalble. The people heated with brown coal, the Power Plants also burnt brown coal. Every single house was yellow because of the smoke all over there. The sulfur in that coal you could smell all over the country. The rivers were polluted also with chemical sewages. And the people were poor. All houses exept those of the political leaders were old and run down, because nearly all were owned by the state and no one had an advantage to spend money to renovate them. Not the renters, and not the politicians, because they could not be voted out.
One of my uncles, Hans, lived in a small village near Dresden in his own farmhouse. In this small village there was no sewerage, he had - in 1988!! - an outhouse for toilette, no running water but a well behind the House, no telephone. And the house itself was run down because of the lack of materials for renovation. In the GDR you could not go to the hardware store to buy roof tiles. There was no hardware store. You had to go to the factory und you HAD TO HAVE connections or wanted exchange objects (as coffee, cigarettes, chocklate, bananas, oranges, cacao) because there were never enough roof tiles.
If we - my parents and me - as western german capitalists visited my uncle Hans the GDR border troops searched our car. Not for weapons or drugs or stolen money or something like this, something criminal. NO! They searched for newspapers and weekly magazines. The people of the GDR should not see the wealth in western germany. And the border was two high fences and in between a death strip with mines and self firing systems, every 3 miles there were watch towers with armed soldiers and dogs. In Berlin there was a wall instead of the fence. No one should leave the socialist paradise. And the GDR officials named this the "antifashist protection wall" (german: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall).
i do not understand how anybody today could want socialism or communism. They all know nothing about it. Ist ist horrible. And even in germany there are many young people dreaming of socialism. This ist, in my opinion, because of the leftist takeover of schools and universitys. They do not teach about how communism / socialism really was and is. in germany they teach a lot about national socialism, Hitler. But little of international socialism like Stalin, Chrustchow, Honnecker. Our kids know much about the Nazi concentration Camps and holocaust but little about gulag and holodomor. I dont know why leftist teachers do not tell them. Do they themselfes not know? Or are they evil?
Ironic isn’t, the German heirs to Marx finally had the chance to make a go of it and they failed. The Germans of all people can make everything better but even that had limits. There wasn’t equality and what finally put an end to it wasn’t the Wall coming down, it was people discovering Party leaders were corrupt and never practiced what they preached. If your own ideals weren’t good enough even for you, why should people follow them? At the time, at least people had the excuse they were living a dream that might come true someday. Today everyone knows it was a lie and there is no excuse. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
Im am german aswell and i can confirm everything he Said is True
He may have lived poorly, but he likely lived within the means of the nation's economy. The U.S. cannot escape this fate once de-dollarization occurs and most of the countries that it used for cheap labor and energy turn away from them. The people in the U.S. are already beginning to experience a normalized economy like in the GDR because it's getting more and more difficult for the U.S. government to steal other nations' resources and keep that Reagan high going, partying like it's 1989, and just generally getting a free ride like it used to. The GDR was poor because Germany was forced by the USSR to stop stealing other countries' human, agricultural, and land resources, and defaulted to a more neutral economy after the war. As much as I like consumerism, it isn't natural for one country (U.S.) to have the majority of the world's wealth just for having Wall Street on their geographic territory. It can't even get a rocket engine built, let alone sold to the Saudis or the Indians. What will its main exports to the Chinese and Indians be in 2030 (when these economies totally eclipse the U.S and Japanese economy), Influencers on TikTok, bad Hollywood movies, and Diversity? And once the Europeans run out of money for U.S. military bases as well as for U.S. "exports" (can you say sanction relief for Russian and Belorussian fertilizer that the U.S. can't seem to produce by itself?), the U.S. will lose its last remaining export market and then Americans's all over the U.S. will have to live like your uncle Hans, not because of communism but because that's what happens when you place all of your faith and children's future into a currency which is a paper tiger held up by military bases, economic blackmail, good faith and financial Wall St. speculation, and not actual labor or resources. Freedom of thought and speech also exist in the West for as long as the rich allow it, which is to say, until the country has enough money and stolen resources for the illusion of relative stability. Once people start queuing up for gasoline and for something to eat at the local foodbank with their entire family, that's when the freedom of speech gets taken away lest anyone start organizing workers' co-ops, labor unions, and a redistribution of stolen wealth.

This woman seems so helpful. And I love how every comparison is just a scarecrow arguement.
As a former underground musician and party organizer I have lived in small squats and other commune like environments I can say that living and sharing with people is only working out in very small quantities of people.
The larger the group becomes the more rules are made.
You have people who are 100% against rules and fully ideological and driven to make the utopia manifest to show that people can live in harmony with each other ending up making schedules for cooking and showering, cleaning and all that.
Inevitably it will result in mostly the first residents forming a form of committee and setting up rules, deciding on new members, setting up financial rules.
People need rules, some people are going to slack off and freeload on the work more active members do.
It's just human nature.
I am sort of happy I've had these experiences because I made me realize that there is no utopia or one size fits all solution to society and to think that we can just all get along is an illusion.
People need their own space and their own things. And they need boundaries and rewards too.
If we expect people to be responsible and helpful doing their best to keep the boat from sinking we're going to be disappointed.
If it's a struggle for 10 people to decide who washes the dishes than how can we ever expect thousands of people to share equally and respect each other.
I think the 'life is a struggle' mentality that our grandparents, great grandparents and those before had is a better mindset for us. They didn't expect any luxury, they had to work hard for every little thing they could get.
You simply have no rights or privilege, entitlement or securities in life.
If you're lucky and keep trying your best maybe you can get something going for yourself and those around you.
Communism is not compatible with human nature, it is selling individual freedom for faux safety to gullible people.

Communism doesn't work, how many times do we need to suffer before we throw out 'Das Kapital' and Marx with it for good ?
Communism only works if human nature dies, only robots can thrive in communism. Yet, these people fail to realize that.

Do they really think those in power will be participating in the grueling work? Also, they should forget about their sense of self or pursuing their dream job because in such a society there is no "I".

4:00 actually, in the USSR, you could choose your career. It was possible to choose university and field of study, as long as you can pass an entrance exam. But yes, after university you cannot choose the place of work and must work a fixed amount of years where you are told to.
Reminds me that just because something is free doesn’t mean its free of a cost. Everything has a price, including one’s dream. The question is what you pay to obtain it.

@@user-klepikovmd anyway speaking of ussr is it true that they(governemnt liars and paid propagandists) used to say the CIA was destroying ur food/crops with beetles and "insert random name of bioweapons"?lololol
You could choose where to work too, you just had to have an invitation from that particular place, pretty much like today, you can't work without receiving a job offer. Nowadays the only difference is that no job is guaranteed to you after graduation and students have to work in McDonald's instead of getting professional experience and good social life.
@@user-klepikovmd In no way this is similar to student's loan. To pay the loan you have to work anywhere that will get you pay it back, whilst in the USSR people worked in their professional field and earned money, paying back to the state via taxes, huge difference. (Btw I am not a blind USSR or any other communist state fan, but I am a researcher and I want people to know not only bad, but also good sides of this regime).

I agree primarily with your perspective, however 5:00 I also don’t find my fulfillment through a job but through personal relationships and connections with other people.
I feel one of the main things you've missed here is these kids complaining will never be a doctor or a work any high value job. Which is why they want everyone to be paid the same. They want to work at Starbucks and make the same as a doctor.
I feel like that’s the theme too. They want all the rewards of working hard but not actually work hard themselves. It’s ironic because the essence of communism is if you don’t work hard you don’t reap the benefits of the collective. They want to sit in their privileged life ignorant to what those in communist societies actually experience and cry about the limitations of their lives. They’re not bothered enough in finding the value of the balance of communism, socialism and capitalism so they take communism as it sounds the best theoretically, but have they heard of history?
The idiocy and lack of education or social interaction is very present in this comment. Read a book and talk to a human.
@@Weazla- Its easy to call people idiots when you don't know what else to say lol. But they are right. Karl Marx was a spoiled lazy man whose middle class daddy gave his own earned money to support his son whom he loved (like today's helicopter parents whose spoiled kids are keyboard socialists). But Karl was an ungrateful son who, after sucking his parents' money dry, had nothing else to do with them. Then Karl's friends and in-laws sent him money in the mail while Karl sat around on the couch reading newspapers all day. Karl truly enjoyed "free" money from others' hard work (like today's keyboard socialists would love to enjoy). He also didn't bathe as often as was customary at the time and so was gross and smelly (like today's pale commie soy boys). His wife lived in a state of depression.
Where does any leftist thinker say that everyone should be paid the same? Oh yeah, literally nowhere because it's incredibly stupid, much like yourself.
The irony of these people saying they hate capitalism and want a socialist or communist society while recording on their *_iPhone_* or *_Android_* device, using an app owned by either *_Google, Facebook, or the Chinese government_* as they drink their *_Starbucks_* is astounding.

Gen Z should read up on the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain. And how when Germany
was divided east and west and E. Germans would try to defect to W. Germany.
These kids have no idea. I work at one of the top 3 universities in the USA. We hired a brilliant woman that grew up in the former USSR. She told me about how she didn't get to pick what she studied in school, what career she would have, or where she would eventually live. I think a lot of young people think Communist/Socialist decisions are driven by like math equations and "good science". But, what really drove it was political connections, nepotism, and bribes. My family is from Hungary, mostly. And, I've heard horror stories from them. Hungary wasn't even USSR, it was just a vassal state. I can't imagine how bad it was in the USSR.
@@anonymousanonymous3020 I recommend the Gulag Archipelago. Very scary book describing what the USSR was like as a prisoner. Written by a person who actually was, and it doesn't hold back on how evil it was.
@@roofkorean2067 I have read Solzhenitsyn, of course. An interesting fact about this book that has nothing to do with it - Peter Thiel, the billionaire that funded Facebook and Elon Musk, said it was his favorite and most influential book. It is a great book and I recommend it to everyone. It changed my perspective on the world.
If any of those children knew somebody or grew up in a communist society they would not be acting that way. My grandfather grew up in Yugoslavia and he had to escape to France and Australia because he was printing anti-communist propaganda for a Croatian anti-communist group and when they were found out they were sent to prison (and most likely executed) and that is one of the many reasons why I hate communism.
I'm disgusted at what is happening in my generation and I hope this will and can be prevented before the west becomes another USSR or Yugoslavia.
That's interesting. In Ethiopia my mother was with her friends, and many of them were caught spreading the opposition's pamphlets and were whisked away. Some were reunited, and a few remain unknown their whereabouts.
so you hate communism because your uncle was a crimimal and a traiter to his country? thats what they call people who critisize the government or capitalism in the US.
My grandparents were poor orphans who flourished during the early years of SFR Yugoslavia because of the benefits and opportunities offered to them, leading them to becoming middle class citizens. You can't use personal stories to argue for or against systems and policies, because there will always be another personal story that is in conflict with your own.
Your grandfather had to escape to Australia because "he was printing anti-communist propaganda for a Croatian anti-communist group"? ... Are you sure he wasn't an Ustaša? It's well known that during Yugoslav times, Croats who escaped to Australian cities such as Sydney and Melbourne were mostly Ustaša sympathisers and one of the greatest threats to Yugoslav security. Australia was their safe haven, their gnijezdo. They carried out acts of terrorism against other members of the Yugoslav community in Australia, as well attacks back in Yugoslavia such as lighting bushes on fire.

I don't know why some American kids like socialism, this is a culture that originated from the Western world but eventually brought big disaster to Russia, China, Vietnam, and some other countries. I was born in a socialist country China, that's why my grandpa died of starvation in the 1960s, and I never saw a birthday cake in my childhood. I could get a chance to have a better life after China gave up most of Socialism when I was a teen--the Chinese started their reformation. It is the reason why I can make some money and then take my whole family to the US. My son grew up in the US, my family has to tell him again and again how we were poor in the Socialism period.
Not gonna lie, a rainbow on the Soviet flag kinda looks really nice.
1:07 other than the fact that she blatantly said that “socialism is when the government does stuff”, does she even realize that the pol is actually referring to those who distrust their CURRENT government, and not government in general?
Notice how all these people pretty wealthy.
Even the rich will be affected by communism. The only ones who will be rich in a communist society are the elites who brought communism to the country. All other citizens will be poor.

Gen z: "Socialism is not communism!"
Vladimir Lenin: "The goal of socialism IS communism!"
The fact that Lenin said that the goal of socialism is communism does not mean that all socialists regard communism as the goal of socialism.
@@brettschmidt5929 Wow, are you saying that people are not mindless drones locked into total groupthink mentality just because of their political ideology and that individuals are more nuanced than how political opponents perceive them?
So.... not all Right-Wingers are fascists, correct? Not all Left-Wingers want to kill babies, yeah? Not all white people are racist, correct? Not all MAGA supporters are idiots, agreed? Not all socialists want communism, is that what you are saying?
Please, help me out here... lol... because it seems like everything absolutes and generalizations for whatever some group does not agree with, yet if the group agrees then there is more nuance and those that are on the "outside" are ignorant and do not understand.
Hey, I agree, not all socialists believe in communism. And just because Lenin said one thing doesn't make it completely so. What it does show, however, is there is an agenda that people do believe and will follow. And if you further look into the communists philosopher's they speak of using socialism, democracy, and other tactics to achieve their goals. It is simply something to be aware of. Communists hate capitalism (which they invented the name, it use to be called Free Market Economics), and most modern countries that are claimed to be socialism havens (such as the Norse economies) do not reject capitalism but have a mixed "Free Market" economy. In fact they are rather adamant about NOT being called socialist economies.
So honestly, if you are a socialist or support such things, you shouldn't be against capitalism because the two can work hand-in-hand with one another, but communism will be destructive to both.
It isn't always. Not all socialism is the same as the marxian kind that we see so often. Marxists believe it is the transition to communism but others think that it is the goal its self.
@@Zeno308 Basically what I said also. Marx and Lenin do not speak for all socialists.
@@brettschmidt5929 Oh sorry to rip off your comment, I didn't see it. Anyway you are right, even lenin changed his mind after he realized the goal of the stateless, classless, moneyless society was impossible.
“Communism” is so hip amongst the young every decade or so 😂
Thankfully not all of us
Yeah but now we have social media so more people are seeing it than before.
Communism is a disease.
I can assure you begging for bread is not hip!
@@RM-qo6yu Exactly why capitalism is falling out of favour.
I typed fascism in the search box, and this video came up 😂
Meaning?
I wonder if socialists/communists realise how insulting their ideology is to those who had to ration waiting in lines for hours. If we were living in a socialist/communist society, how would we feel never knowing when we can't get our rations this week?
Also, I'm not sure I agree that welfare is laziness. What if someone can't work but still wants to contribute to the economy? What if they have to travel 20 minutes to let's say a coffee shop, when they could just as easily go to a shopping center for food in 5 minutes? Is that laziness? What about Milton Friedman who advocated a negative income tax, effectively giving people money to incentivise the economy? I agree with you in terms of communism/socialism being bad for economic growth, but saying welfare is laziness is a stretch.
I imagine those who support capitalism must be pretty insulting to those in the third world. Claiming their ideology let's them choose a job and gives opportunity to "get rich" when, in reality, people living in these over-exploited countries have little choice over the work they have to do and will never get an opportunity to live like those from more privileged western countries.

Russia was better off under communism. Soviet Union only fell because the market reforms under Gorby. The best performing economy today with little inflation is China. China has a higher life expectancy than the US. Y'all are just fed propaganda.
From the perspective, which asks and describes how we do use a language, words and notions, I would like to point at the possibility, that those who are using the word "communism" in nowadays contexts, they aim to articulate something, while "stealing" the notion for a description of that something. The problem that I see here is just in the usage of language, notions and the historical context.
OR it's a result or pervasive propaganda propagated by the US, to the extreme of copying some nazi propaganda. Linguistics can be complicated but this isn't

Very well put! I wish there were more young people like you who actually understood something about the true nature of socialism. You said in an earlier video that your grandparents escaped the USSR. Did your parents continue with speaking both Russian and English in your house when you were a child, or did you have to take classes to learn Russian? Your transations of communist propaganda posters is a valuable service that is not being done by other commentators, so I encourage you to continue doing it. Keep up the good work!

i grew up in a very socialist community. VERY socialist. and very labor/farming oriented. it was great. socialism in my eyes can only work in small communities. (where i grew up is around 2400 people) a country being socialist is a disaster. what would work best in my opinion is merging the two ideas. (socialism, capitalism.) and taking the best of both worlds. a country should be capitalist. while small groups/an individual should be a moderate socialists.
this is my two cents.

"Do you want to just sit at home all day?" That's exactly what they want. They cry about toxic work places and putting themselves above the rigors and stress of working. However, if you asked them what a "toxic workplace" is, they'll just say "any job that requires me to work 9-5 while they pay me less than my boss or my boss' boss is toxic to my mental health"
True, I think their support for communism is influenced by laziness. As much as they claim that communism will bring equality, what they actually mean is "a waiter earning the same pay as the business owner", "a janitor earning the same as a site engineer", etc. It seems nice but it's a recipe for disaster. I mean why would I want to go to university or trade school and put so much effort when I can pick a very casual job and get paid big. Its like getting a scholarship to university, even if you didn't pass the scholarship exam, you are given the same perks as those who read and put effort into passing the exam. If such occurs, most people won't bother reading because what's the difference. If no one farms or works well then the society will collapse with time.
Sadly this is true, I saw something a whle back where these kids were asked what an average day look like in their communist uptopia, they said they'd work for a couple of hours (if they could be bothered) then go off and paint, play video games or make music. They'll be in for a huge surprise if they ever got the communist govt. they crave
