I like how they know the difference between a Communist society and a Socialist Nation
as long as the govt owns the means of production there isn't much difference
@@alexraymond5572 one is stateless, and the other needs a state.
One has no currency, the other needs currency
@yeeeeeeeeeth Communism is not inherently a failure. Most problems are the result of the US and NATO'S policy towards them.
In socialism or communism, it is not that the state owns everything, if it is actually socialism. It is the workers or the community owning the means of production, and the ending of the subordination of the working class.
So basically, socialism is the community owning the means of production communally. And the working class is no longer subordinate to the higher classes.
Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless, post scarcity society.
yeeeeeeeeeth because humans are inherently and genetically greedy. It’s in our human nature / DNA to gain the most to provide for our families and ourselves. Therefore people would not share food equally in a life or death situation where they are starving even if they were really devour communists
@yeeeeeeeeeth well thst is only a bandwagon fam
They say because the stalinist regimes of the 20th centrury called themselves socialist almost everything that wen't wrong was because of communism they say, but that's a wrong statement
Also communism is not governmemt/ state control of the means of production thst would be state capitalism/state socialism

@@AlamoOriginal people who lived it are the ones you should ask not kids who do not even know a definition of a term.
@Vasilijan Nikolovski why does it matter what i think? it matters what they think, they have seen life in both systems their opinion is valid.
One must remember that the people born in the USSR:
A) were fed propaganda ever since they were born, with the state having a monopoly on information
B) will feel nostalgia towards those times, since they were young and healthy back then
C) would only really know about their little corner of the world, with as much as knowledge as you or me about the geopolitical situation or things like the ГУЛаг or the war in Afghanistan
If you want to ask someone old about those times, ask a professor or someone that you know is intelligent; someone that was able to see clearly during those times. It's very hard to find anyone like that before 1956.
@@buckplug2423 You've just described the UK and the US as well. None of those points are exclusive to the soviet union. For example, the around 90% of people in the UK think that the empire was a positive thing in the world, which is blatent propaganda. Similarly, American children are taught the pledge of allegiance when they are toddlers in school.
Some of these are sarcasm which confuses Americans reading the captions which results into a hilarious comment section.
I was just thinking that since no Russian speakers cant understand languages cues it's hard to put it into context
Americans are Ned Flanders, they take everything literally, no concept of irony. ;)
Miki Cerise when the fuck did I write this? I must’ve been drunk or something.
I guess it’s cause you can’t technically read sarcasm. Lol you can’t even really go by visual cues because I think different nations express sarcasm physically differently.
I understood the bearded guy was being funny
Since most Americans are not taught the actual definitions, I will provide them:
Socialism is worker ownership of the means of production.
Communism is the abolition of classes, money, and the state.
Yeah, yeah... Very vague definitions of socialism and communism.
Let's add to your definitions:
Socialism: Taxes, taxes and more taxes to regulate everything. No incentive to work, because the ones who don't work have subsidies enough to make a normal living. Why work? Fuck that. No possibility of individual growth. The one who wants to excel themselves in terms of quality of life are fucked, even though they work a lot, because their taxes kill every penny they have in the pocket, leaving them with, probably enough to eat for him/her and his/her family.
Communism: No private property allowed, everything is shared because everything is public. No state, no goddamn police, there's the law of the jungle though. So, complete anarchy.
Oh, and no classes, yeah! Everyone is POOR AS SHIT!
And you know, in capitalism the worker owns the means of the production. You just gotta be a entrepreneur and work for yourself! Yes, the individual owns the means of production, not the state (like in socialism), but everyone can be that individual in capitalism. Unless we're talking about corporativism, of course. That's a different animal.
Edit:
My views on socialism are today, that is 8 months later, a bit updated.
Having that into account, socialism STILL sucks a big fucking ton, but having tons of taxes doesn't make socialism. High taxes is something one can see in a social democracy, even the US has them, but the winners on higher taxes are the scandinavian countries.
The original commentator was correct in what he said. I think I wrote my comment regarding his comment as trying to make socialism look good, but it was actually the truth, although it obviously doesn't tell the whole truth. Socialism is not only the workers (labour, specifically. Because company owners, as far as I'm concerned are ALSO workers) owning the meaning of the production. It also means the end of the private family business and the possibility of these workers to become their own bosses and to feed their family with their own work, without the hand of the government. Socialism means dictatorship of the proletariat. Its core is authoritarian, even though it is meant to "liberate" people from the evils of capitalism (which has its own flaws, obviously).
Why is workers owning the means of production bad?
communism is just everyone working for the greater good and fun fact no country in the word has ever achieved communism because of human nature

Fundamentally people are all very similar but greed rules and we've never found a way to regulate it. It's so sad that we waste so many resources on conflict.
Humans are malleable, capitalism just happen to promote greed above all else. Even most wars are mainly a result of capitalism, as in they are fought for resources or because the weapons manufacture companies lobby for war because it's good money in it.

Это был очередной извращенный вопрос-вывертыш автора. Если бы, например, любого молодого (западного) немца сейчас бы спросили, хотели бы они жить 50 лет назад, то ответ был бы, естественно, в большинстве случаев отрицательный. И это вне зависимости от какой-то политической системы, а просто в силу прогресса.
@@chacanusrhosgenerisrhusett9418 quite a lot of americans wanna live in the past since they are nostalgic about certain things + after the war the us economy was booming. german economy was booming after the war as well, but still barely anyone want's to live at that time so there are differences
@@thomas.thomas Because nostalgia is a "yearning for return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition" (Merriam-Webster-Dictionary) i.e. a feeling about what happened to a person in the past, _young_ (western) Germans ("молодые (западные) немцы") can't have nostalgia about something that happened 50 years ago and about things and conditions, which they don't know. Furthermore, if you mean not nostalgia, but too idealized views about the past, then you should pay attention, that I said "generally"/"in the most cases" ("в большинстве случаев"), but not in all. If you ask "Why in the most cases?", you prepared the answer: "but still barely anyone wants to live at that time so there are differences." And differences between today and 'then' are notably large; just ask yourself (if you are young (enough)) (or someone from the youth, who want to live in the past), would you change your life now for a life, for example, without the Internet or with worse medicine/health care. And, of course, I'm not denying, that there were certain better things in the past, but anyone, who asks such questions, should weigh those with the bad and then consider carefully whether they would still choose the life of the past.
I am Russian and I am 32
Communism in the USSR was not achieved, they tried to come to it, at the turn of the 20th century, capitalism was experiencing a crisis and Lenin, using the teachings of Marx and Engels, decided to implement it in our country, it was a great experiment. But he demanded high moral values from a person, so drug addiction, prostitution, and the porn industry were banned in the USSR, a person with a high culture was brought up, even the Soviet youth spoke very competently (now having tasted Western culture, the speech began to contain many parasitic words)
But since man is a part of the animal world, not God, and he has animal needs, communism began to lose its position, the moral qualities of man fell and he was drawn to the West in the world of animal needs (the struggle against each other, the thirst for money, power). I am sorry that there is nothing left that is the opposite of capitalism, it turns out that humanity has no alternative and capitalism is slowly rotting, the world is moving into the abyss
It wasn't a great experiment, it was genocide and misery. Socialism fails because it can't replace the market, and the freedom of agents. The world has problems because states and power grew, not because of capitalism.
nope . Communism is Anti God dude .

What a strange question "how to make everyone rich?" I dont think we would have the word "rich" in this circumstance. To understand and define "rich" it is implied that someone is poorer than them. So if everyone is "rich" then technically they arent, because they're all the same.

@@anastasiabondareva7461 yep, communism is built on the respect for workers, public ownership of the means of production and the labor automation

Hi, if you have some nice topic suggestions, please let me know 🙂
@@1420channel what if you did something like "what do russians prefer? Freedom or Safety?"? Just an idea though,love your videos
@@1420channel Thinking about it, I decided to explain my own interest in Russia, even though I am probably not a typical viewer. I studied Russian language for four years in high school, in the 1960s. I chose Russian because it had a different alphabet and it seemed fun to be able to read something that most people couldn't. (Later in college I took Chinese.) We learned things about Russian culture too. I can still sing "Katyusha" and other songs we learned. We had to learn all 15 Soviet republics, in English and Russian, and find them on the map, and basic things about each one. When the Soviet Union broke up, and there were all these new countries that even news people never heard of, I was already familiar with them all.
I also am a lover of classical music and Russia's heritage of classical music. In recent years, purely through TH-cam, I have discovered the extraordinary music of the Russian Orthodox Church, particularly the monks of Valaam. That has led me to an interest in the rebirth of the Russian Orthodox Church. Apparently Putin has strongly supported the resurgence of the Orthodox Church and makes a public deal of his own piety. This makes me wonder about if one or all of the following is at play:
1) he is truly pious
2) he is a clever politician allying with the church to strengthen his power
3) he feels that Russian Orthodoxy could help give the Russian people a sense of pride and meaning that they have lost since the fall of the Soviet Union.
I would like to know what average Russian people think about Putin (and if they feel safe to give honest opinions).
I am also very interested in how Russian people are reflecting on their Soviet past. This video gives only a taste of that and I would like to hear more. Both from older people and younger people. Many people in the US think that communism must have been an unrelenting nightmare. We need to hear about both the good and the bad from people who lived through it.
I would like to hear from people of an age to remember the fall of the Soviet Union, and what they experienced during that time. And how life has changed since the Soviet era.
Thanks for helping to inform us.

It’s okay interviewee #1, we hate our government too.
People don't really know what communism is. Common misconceptions:
1. Communism is a political system. Truth: it's an ideology and a goal. Communism can rise in any model.
2. Communism is lack of private property. Truth: there is no such thing as lack of private property. Communism (this is simplified) means sharing and reusing property, especially means of production, it relies on public property, but doesn't deny private property. It also means equality. Shared means of production is what is actually used in capitalism in big companies, it makes them efficient.
3. Communism existed in Russia. Truth: communism never existed anywhere, the official position of government in USSR that it is not achieved, the reason for people to start questioning government was also lack of communism.
4. Communism is an opposite of European way of thinking. Truth: it originated in Europe, Lenin was sponsored by Europeans.
5. Communism means planned economy. Truth: maybe it's the most wrong misconception. Communism can be with free market. Planned economy can possibly work out also, in the future, when AI can solve our economic problems, but it is highly speculative, for example, just like "universal basic income", which is also a futuristic idea.
6. Communism means militarisation. Truth: post-WW2 times mean militarisation, the colossal losses of USSR in WW2 were because the lack of it. Currently most militarised nation is capitalistic.
7. Communism means gulags. Truth: the revolution of 1917 in Russia lasted until WW2. Things were messy. It's not something to be proud of for sure. Currently most inmates per capita are in capitalistic country.
8. Communism means the ultimate enemy. Truth: yes! The idea of an ultimate enemy is an ancient way of controlling the masses. Take pre-WW2 Germany and jews for example. It's powerful. Same thing exists in many countries.
9. Communism is a totally good thing. Truth: every good thing can be fucked, wrongly implemented or misinterpreted. It's not the only idea of "making everything good for people", it's one of many, and it's already quite old.
Mixed and agile models that get everything good from every system seems to me like a good idea.

Somehow unrelated, but I think it’s interesting how they separate Russia from Europe, talking about (Western) “European countries”. It has been a whole debate for so long: is Russia a part of Europe? I always thought yes, but apparently Russians themselves might think differently about that. Russia/Europe, maybe an idea for a new topic?
I feel like Russians consider themselves nether European not Asians. Putin regime's trolls calling Europe "Gayrope" actually.
Educated people of Moscow and Piterburg kinda dreaming of living "like in Europe", and they sometimes do.
Military, police and poor people believe that Europeans and Americans want to conquer Russia and take it's natural resources, after making everyone gay and abusing their children.
They see it on TV everyday, it can't be wrong.
Yes please! as a Russian i have wanted to know what other Russians think of the matter of whether Russia is Europe(Western), Asia (Eastern) or its own thing?
@Simon S Well, many people don't think that way - whether Russian or Western/Central/Eastern Europeans. Therefore, it would be interesting to interview Russians about it.
Russians are Eastern Europeans.
Western Europe what they mean when they say the word Europe.
They are Slovenian an old ethnic group that started expanding in century VI right after the germanic people expansion (do not confused with actual germans I'm talking about a populace coming from a common ancestor and language) over Europe, Slovenian people it's the biggest ethnic group in Europe and with a lot of presence in Asia because of Russia. However what I mean with this is that in fact the western part of Russia it's Europe, even Moscow it's still part of Europe right before Volga, but like 70 or 65 percent of Russia it's not Europe, but a part of them it is (at least geographically and culturally speaking).

Thank you for giving some insight to the Russian views, I've been wondering. You have a new subscriber.
As a native Russian, I'd recommend to watch it with precaution - videos are mostly Moscow-based (glancing over wildly varying political/social stances in other regions) and have a somewhat limited pool of interviewees, so that's not something you'd want to use as an insight into Russian culture as a whole. They're still entertaining and informative, they just represent a very small subset of people (Moscow middle-class, mostly youth)

What does communism have to do with it if there was no communism in the USSR? To communism only sought, but so far there was only socialism because it is a transition stage from capitalism to communism.
А при чём тут коммунизм, если коммунизма в СССР не было? К коммунизму только стремились, а пока что был только социализм т.к он является переходной стадией от капитализма к коммунизму.

To be fair, there are a lot of Americans who are eloquent and intelligent. But since the educational system in the US is amongst the worst in the world and people have been brainwashed by FOX, CNN and MSNBC they are outnumbered by the ignorant ones. That's what you get for financing endless wars and giving handouts to corporations instead investing in your own people. That's also why most people outside the US instantly think about hillbillies, swamp-dwellers and Republicans when they hear "American".

Nobody talks about seize means of production so that the product of the work goes no the private property of someone else rich but it must go to the workers productors that create it.
Why the f* does it have to "go to the workers productors that create it"? Did they create their own workplaces? Do they manage it? Did they risk investing their money in the business they work for?
@@marcusaureliusantoninus2597 From the CEO, through the financial manager, to the one who mops floors and the one who cleans bathrooms. They are all workers. They do create their workplaces because through the production that the capitalists steal from them, and go to their private property after this the capitalist re-invests that "dead labor" in job creation. The capitalist plays with someone else's work, appropriates it and then invests someone else's work with which he reappropriates himself and feeds a loop that has existed for centuries, a class loop, not an individual loop. Of the class that owns the means that the workers need to produce. that the producing workers keep what they produce themselves according to their role within the production system. The one who produces more is paid more. But it cannot be that a capitalist parasitic class stays with the work and effort of others, without even working, but investing, of course investing "dead work" of others. At the micro level, it is admissible since the entrepreneurs work with their own means, but there is a point at which the bourgeoisie becomes a parasitic entity and monopolist of the production of others.

Is Comrade a Russian word meaning "friend" or used by the Soviets to call each other ?
No, word "Comrade" as you see it and hear is not a Russian word. It is originated in Latin then got into Spanish then French and, finally into English language. Word "Comrade" describes a friend/friendship created between two or, more people because they share the same goal or duties. Word "comrade" or "comradery" often used in U.S. and other English speaking counties to describe friends/friendship made during military service/duty. Russian word for comrade is "Tovarish'" In Russian "Tоварищ". The word was used often during USSR time because most of the people shared/worked toward the same goal (support of Communism), and because often friendships were made during military services. But no, "comrade" is not a Russian word.
@@dredverone comrade comes from ''camerata'' = Italian word for dormitory in the army, or other institutions, or hospitals's rooms with many beds..
@@neincre So, the bottom line and, the main answer is that "comrade" is NOT a Russian word.
Ruskies, get a break, you for real? You seriously still preach communism after all your history? I'm proud to live in Poland where communism is the second most hated thing.

@@user-ez8le1rp3x Yeah, right. Completely not because I remember how it was in Poland when I was a kid in the 90's... Spoiler, it was shitty. Our current system is not perfect, but boy, there's no comparison.
Poland was anticommunistic since the beginning of communism, long before the EU. Remember 1919/1920? It's not the EU thing, it's being respectful to Polish heritage. I hope Ruskies will come to their right mind some day.
I have a question. How exactly do you study Lenin and Stalin in the history class? Cuz for me, as an Spanish, it is so easy to judge the history in a very cold way. But for you? Do teen talk about it? Do you joke about it?
Only historical facts I think. Btw, we study only pros, we've never talked about cons. And we've never studied what is communism at school. So we're learning what Lenin and Stalin did, when they did it and praise how amazing they are :(
Pretty bad that many our students have no idea what is USSR and what is communism but they know where was Lenin born
As for jokes - NO
Never
Our teachers are people who have lived in the communist society. They were born in 60s/70s and in Soviet times, there was very strong propaganda. People were assured that the Soviet state was the best, and the capitalists were the main enemies in the world. Therefore, history teachers will naturally talk about this time with awe because all their life they have heard this propaganda on television, from parents, their surroundings, from teachers at school.
In our history books, revolution is viewed from all sides.
Basically, these are dry historical facts, students are encouraged to lay down their own attitude to the Bolsheviks themselves. Much depends on the teacher, because teachers are people, among them there are individuals of completely different political views and no one forbids them to express their opinions to students.
For example, my history teacher was strongly anti-communistic, but seems like history teacher of person from comment above, was a communist-supporter.
We read about the Red Terror and the Great Terror and in literature subject we study Solzhenitsyn, this is the author who wrote about the life of people in the gulag camps.
My teacher of literature asked us to write essays on the topic of our feelings about the horror organized by the communists in our country.
Basically, the school does not affect the attitude of children to the Soviet Union, but society and teachers can influence.
Ohhhhh, we talk about it, of course! There are jokes about it! Our history teacher tells us about Stalin in a very bad way with baad words)
Julia Ponkratenkova you must praise how amazing stalin is? my teacher simply gives the facts from all sides. your class sounds like some type of weird propaganda machine. perhaps it is because most of my class is Tatar (including me) but we always talk mostly negatively about him. and Lenin especially- most of general society is said to have hated him.
