      i wish he pointed out subtle specifics like how the right hand reference from lenin to stalin was pointing at the fact that stalin was on the right side of the communist party.
      its a nice little touch because stalin was different from lenin in that he believed in bringing a centralized government and bureaucracy to re-stabilize Russia which was in ruins after the Bolshevik revolution. this was very contradictory to what the revolution fought for in the first place, but at this point Lenin was dead and it was left in the hands of the people in the communist party. the right side of the party highly opposed the revolutionary ideals of a revolutionary state of left side of the communist party which conformed more to lenins ideals and had most of the initial Bolsheviks from the revolution such as Trotsky who worked alongside lenin from the beginning military-wise. stalin was the new guy who came, exploited the party, and got the power for himself
      both sides are stupid anyways but its fun history to look into

      Voltaire is one of the most important men that has ever lived, he helped create the encyclopedias of all knowledge available at the time, he created the best french book according to the french academy(candide) , he also fed a whole city during a famine and even provided the european countries wih new farming techniques and it s said that his work accelerated the human advancements by around 100 years. He also disproved jacques rousseau thesis about the origin of humans(etat de nature) . Volatire survived the biggest earthquake of the centure too. This dude was a skilled duelist and won against a couple nobels. This line is funny because if you decompose the words to their original meaning before they shifted, he is right according to its definition. He was a clever man. Severly underated in history classes, even in college.

      Evil Unchained you know the best thing about Voltaire ? For most of his life, he wasn’t best known for his books, or his wit and everything else, but because he was an excellent dancer ! It was a time where dance was very important, so most people knew him as a dancer rather than a philosopher !

      during her funeral, and was seriously considering suicide.
      However, I'm not too sure if he actually loved her. Excluding how history portrays him as a psychopath/sociopath, records say he wasn't really the best husband, and the wording of this quote (though could be translation error) is a little off.

    I like this stuff, I enjoy the fact he watches it and has a look over the outfits and costumes, but I wish he circled back to the lyrics and explained things as to why certain lines make sense. "I even crush motherfuckers when I'm laid in state" would've been a good one for example. I have no idea what makes that line, and I don't know how accurate it is. "Pride of Lenin took Trotsky out of the picture" references Stalin calling *himself* the successor to Lenin, even though Lenin himself did not want the man in charge, and Trotsky was the basically runner up to Stalin, but was forced to flee to Mexico where he was assassinated by Stalin's men in 1940. He was forcibly removed to prevent anything from stopping the dictator.
    There's so much to unpack in all ERB videos, but the Russian Leaders one in particular has a lot of amazing moments because of things like that, Gorbachev ending the Cold War, that sort of thing. I'd love to see Mr. Terry unpack these at the end of a video, going through them bit by bit like a rapid fire history lesson!
    Edit: I mean, Mr. Terry does say it's hard for him to catch everything, but I feel like if he had a little time he could record his immediate reaction live the way he currently does, but then have a more edited part right after where he gives more of a run through of as much as he knows in the rap, something he maybe has taken notes on, structured a little bit or at least goes through a bit more? I don't know, I feel like he could easily make a full video just on one of these raps at a time, but the editing is where it'd be most time consuming so I suppose I understand.

    1. Obvious reference to Method Man and Wu Tan.
    2. A reference to Sun Tzu's actual name Sun Wu, Tzu is a honorary title added to his name.
    3. Wu as a standalone character in Chinese means combat, so this is a line to dissect Sun Tzu's famous battle strategies with the Socrates Method.

      Nietzche's verse has A LOT of subtle references to his philosophy. An example is when Nietzche spelled out his game, his images are shown in repeats, because he believe time is a cyclical loop and history repeats itself.
