Lenin's speech:What Is Soviet Power? / Ленин:Что такое Советская власть?

[zapman266]

I absolutely love Lenin, he easily could have, and would have, solved all of the world's problems. If only he'd have lived longer. Stalin ruined everything. I like how Stalin industrialized Russia to compete with the rest of the world, but he ruined the government that would have become the first, and only, perfect political system in the world.

[iaio98]

Stalin was a bastard son of a bitch.

[Ureteralclock1917]

When people think of communism, they think of facism. and so called communist leaders such as Stalin and Pol Pot imposed communism with an iron fist.

[Underbyte0000]

The problem with capitalism: If everybody is rich, nobody is rich.

[tellyontellyon]

"..In this country, in Russia, for the first time in the world history, the government of the country is so organised that only the workers and the working peasants, to the exclusion of the exploiters, constitute those MASS ORGANISATIONS known as Soviets, and these Soviets wield all state power.."

These are the most importand words. Under Stalinism workers democracy was destroyed.

Fuck you Stalin.

[trifulquita15]

@HejMedDigDuDerful Love your enemy, pray for your enemy, give the other cheek, don't pay evil with evil. The pacemakers will be called Sons of God - Jesus

But communists thinks Lenin speech was better than the Sermon of the Mount, i really don't get it. This is crazy

[smallpotatoes989]

bla bla!

[DarthFanta]

The October 'Revolution' was a Coup de'tat. No mass support for the Bolshevik Party--less than a quarter of the population voted for them during the Constitutional Assembly elections.

[mymatryoshka]

Lenin got rid of all the rich people of Russia so he could be the only one.

[trifulquita15]

communism... Man, really syckos!

They hate rich people, they want all people living in a working class/peasent society (poverty)

WTF, i mean WTF PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!! These people are EXTREMELY STUPID OR WHAT???? someone answer me please, this is just not right.

All people should be rich, don't you think?

[st1nee]

@trifulquita15 That is what communism is about - everybody is supposed to have the same rights, regardless of sex, money, ethinicity, you name it. We don't want everybody to be workers. We want everybody to be equals.

Everybody should be "rich" yes, depending on what being "rich" means to you. And that is never going to happen in capitalism as it is dependant upon the fall of others.

Either way, you obviously know little or nothing about communism. I would recommend you to read a book.

[trifulquita15]

@st1nee My gosh... In a capitalist country people throw cakes, shoes, water, etc. to politicans, ordinary people can even sue the president (Levinksy vs Clinton)

You think a cuban citizen can sue Fidel Castro? or Kim Jong IL? LOL executed next day or 20 years in "education camps". Please read about Pol Pot, Sendero Luminoso, Stalin and all the communists criminals in history

[st1nee]

@trifulquita15 That doesn't matter, does it, the freedom you've got to "sue the president" - when there are millions of people suffering, starving and dying as a cause of this exact system?

Besides, these are not communist countries. A society with a skewed distribution of power, whether it's factory owners or government bureaucrats who have more power than the rest, will never be democratic, and never socialist.

[trifulquita15]

@st1nee Stalin n Fidel are socialists, but Pol Pot... my gosh, this sycho was a REAL COMMUNIST

No state

No religions

No money

No social classes

Just the Angkar

[st1nee]

@trifulquita15 No, they were not true socialists, as I've stated before. I wish you'd support your arguments with some sort of evidence, like quotes from the communist manifesto compared to the structure of the Soviet state, in stead of stating everything you write a fact. I am yet again certain that you know little or nothing about communism and I wish you'd read about it before arguing, as you clearly lack basic knowledge and your arguments are invalid, untrue and unreflective.

[trifulquita15]

@st1nee socialism = pre-communism stage, dictatorship of the proletariat (Marx's idea) till the transition to communism. The state will give u house, job, education, health and everything u need.

capitalism = if the state has the power of give u everything, the state has the power to taking off everything

communism = Angkar

[st1nee]

@trifulquita15 You are again stating this as an adament fact, and I do not see how this is relevant to anything I've written. If you're trying to show that you do in fact know something about different political ideologies, I have to tell you that it is far more complex than this.

[trifulquita15]

@st1nee catholics says the spanish conquistadores were not real catholics, you say Fidel n Stalin r not real socialists, come on... its easy to blame individuals in order to justify the system

[st1nee]

@trifulquita15 You see, former "communists" were a lot like nowadays Christians - they take parts out of the Bible they like, ignore the rest and call themselves Christians, maybe adding a few of their own rules as well. This is as unfair.

It seems you really want to believe that Stalin and Fidel were socialists, and as untrue as this is, you are free to do so. Just know that if you ever read about Soviet/Cuban politics and compare them to Marx' ideas, you will find that it tends to not match.

[kornilius197]

@ima69beast fuckers russian imperialist will burn in hell they murdered 70000000 russians,,the rest were died from starvation,,when your inteligence were practicing sexual orgies!!!

[AndreTwin]

@ima69beast You do realize that those 10,000,000 Russian Imperial Intelligence as you put it are the very reason that revolution took place. Well, let's not forget the training & funding Lenin & Trotsky got from western ASSHOLES Rothschilds & Jacob Schiff. As far as those Russian Imperial Intelligence most fled to the West like cowards leaving true patriots like Kolchak, Denikin, Yudenich, Semenov, Kappel etc. fight for Mother Russia. Trust me it was Fucked up for peasants in Imperial Russia.

Long live lenin an excellent orator and leader he revolutionised russia well☭

[Petrovichzzzzz]

Сегодня как никогда идеи, воля, сила Ленина актуальны. Когда говорит Ленин, невозможно быть равнодушным, его речь вдохновляет, от нее хочется быть нужным, полезным для Родины человеком, бороться за ее величие. Ленин - ученый, мыслитель, деятель, политик, великий человек.

[backdoorcj]

You can tell that he really speaks with enthusiasm and actually believes in what he's saying.Lenin got his ideas right but realized the system is unbeatable and gave in.A shame,he was a great orator.

[Kedfagan]

Communism eventually becomes the evil its designed against. Socialism is Romes whisper. Socialism is the political, spiritual and ethical direction of the human race. As for me, Im shutting down and watching X-Factor re-runs :)

[ILUM69]

@QrpGaming Funny how that comes from a guy called something with ''Gaming.'' Get a fucking life, nerd. Go out and do something for the right cause instead of sitting inside all the time and causing un-necesarry enviroment destruction. Bitch

[battlefield030fan]

@QrpGaming i see on your chanal you are a 15 year old mw2 douche ........

without the sovjets you would speak german and you wil probably be a nazi (you probably are a neo nazi anyway) plz think before you talk shit

[swater561]

iViva lenin!

[darkruler527]

Lenin was on the right track if only he lived to iron out the flaws in his government then we wouldn't have screwed up communist coutries like n. Korea that is practically against what Lenin wanted

[Drac39]

@darkruler527 It's frightening how relevant Lenin's critique against capitalism still is today

[PokeyMeansBusiness]

@darkruler527

It's sad that the world has to turn out like this, it's sad that he had to die, it's sad that Russia took such a horrible turn towards Stalin. I hope for a better world, which is the only thing we can do.

[rimlanin]

@darkruler527 There is nothing wrong with the DPRK, they are a militarized, Communist society. With 3/4ths of the world breathing down their necks and pointing warships and missiles at them, I think we can understand the need for their ultra-militarism.

[xxCCBBxx]

@MrOldMajor By definition communism means the end of wage labor**

[xxCCBBxx]

@MrOldMajor you don't understand communism at all then, NOBODY is paid because everyone has equal everything and owns everything. There is no need for money in a communist state. Just "peace, land, and bread", as Lenin said. Read up on this stuff first buddy.

[xxCCBBxx]

A pure Marxist state is far too idealistic to work. There is no incentive to do anything without capitalism. End of story. Why work

Hard if u can't get fired? Why be a hard laborer when u get paid the same as a white collar job? How can the government not have power over their people by withering away like Marx said. All communist countries have failed to address these problems.

[MrOldMajor]

@xxCCBBxx You don't understand. Socialism is not like that. If you make 10 toys, you aren't going to get paid the same as another man who makes only 1 toy. No, you will be paid 10 times as much. Equality to the level of contribution, understand? That means a boss who sits back and does nothing would not get paid.

[newwarsovereign]

Did you guys hear they're probably taking Lenin out of the mausoleum. I'm praying that they won't. Lenin is not dead because he lives on through us. Through our power, through our culture. History tells us that we will crush anyone and we will always be on top.

[dalnoboez]

Now again буржуи drink blood of people! And Lenin it across a throat!

[sss7773]

The great person was, all tsars for that period suited a senseless mass slaughter-house under the name the First World War, Lenin has deduced Russia from the First World War, for what he can tell many thanks

With minor changes, this could easily resonate and relate with the USA! If there was ever a communist revolution here Id be all for it.

@TheBigCountry2 fuck america

[scagbum]

Lenin was a fanatical massmurderer. So many peolpe have died because leaders like him have tried to create a utopian society.

[bapyou]

@scagbum "So many peolpe have died because leaders like him have tried to create a utopian society."

Communism is not "utopia," and Lenin says so in this short speech.

And Lenin was not a mass murderer. WW1 killed millions, not the Russian Revolution. WW1 was fought for the profits of a few, exactly as the present Afghanistan and Iraq wars are being fought for the profits of a few.

On the other hand, Ronald Reagan funded the murders of 100s of 1000s of Central Americans. He was scum.

[ThatDifferentGuy]

The Soviet Union was well on its way to true communism but Stalin took a shit on it and used it as toliet paper. Since then, they could on proceed forward with the destruction of the soviet dream.

Lenin was the only true communist.

[laswello]

Too bad that if you did not agree or have a different idea you would be shot or sent to siberia.

We Workers shall walk on the ruins of Capitalism

[33dgtp]

OMFG!?!?!? DID ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY WITNESS COMMUNISM ????? It's BAD!!!!!

[EdwardNS1]

@33dgtp

No one has witnessed communism because there hasn't been any true communist state yet. All of the communist countries that existed/exist are great perversions and go against a lot of the teachings of Marx and Lenin.

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

@RevolutionaryLenin

Not that I think your view is uncritical. I think you are alright. Solidarity. :)

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

@RevolutionaryLenin

Like I said, I totally agree with you in relation to your "undying love for Lenin". But you have to agree that it is bit going too far when you actually consider him as "political messiah". I don't think you are defender of Lenin's "personality cult". lol But sometimes when I see such religious level of praise for Lenin in youtube, it makes me think twice. And I don't think people knowingly chose personality cult. It happens unknowingly from such uncritical praise.

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

@RevolutionaryLenin

Being a true Leninist should not mean recognizing Lenin as Moses who stood above workers but rather see him as part of workers who led and was also criticized by those very workers. Being a true Leninist should be those who celebrate Lenin's contribution and dedication for self-emancipation of working class but also being able to criticize his mistakes. And we should be able to find new values and relevancy of Leninism today through Lenin's mistake and limitation then.

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

@RevolutionaryLenin

Let's not forget international solidarity with socialists and workers from countries under Russian Empire. Yes Lenin was great leader but it will be antithesis to socialism if you actually refer to him as "savior" and "messiah". Lenin himself have opposed such personality cult. "Internationale" which was embraced as new national anthem after October Revolution stated in second verse, "There is no superior savior. Neither God, nor Caesar, nor tribune."

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

@RevolutionaryLenin

As I agree with your praise of Lenin and understand where you are coming from, I will still disagree with you. Lenin was indeed great leader of revolutionary movement. However we have to consider the fact that Russian Revolution was accomplishment of Russian working class movement. There were solidarity between Bolshevkis, soviets(and there were various workers' organizations within soviets) and and Jewish workers' organization known as Bund.

[elpelaYonoveNtAyDos]

Lenin.....just listen to his words...calmed and peacefull...not as a dictator or an emperor...rather as a good leader who believed in his working people and who made things the best he can...even Stalin said "Lenin left us a great empire...but we fucked it up..." 

[XxGHOST666xX]

Does anyone happen to know where Lenin delivered this speech? I'm using it for a history project and it would be useful to know. Thanks in advance. (:

[horsie111]

The only thing the communist dreamers ever proved was how bad their ideas were in practise.

[ShortytheSquirrel]

@horsie111 They never had the chance to put communism into practice, thanks to Stalin. There has never been a true communist state. The USSR and others were authoritarian police states, not communist states.

[horsie111]

@ShortytheSquirrel How convenient that there is no empirical evidence that communism doesn't work, then! Likewise zero evidence that it can work, but people believe in it nonetheless... Isn't that the definition of a religion?

[ShortytheSquirrel]

@horsie111 You can't prove an economic system works or doesn't work. That is entirely dependent on the opinions of those under such as system. Most wealthy people in capitalist states will say that the system is working fine, whilst those of lower income will say it isn't. I'm quite sure that under a communist system, those who enjoy having an equal share of the means of production would feel the system is working, whilst those who feel they are entitled to more would say otherwise.

[lalo6437]

There you have it. The true essence of socialism. Now you know why, as a socialist, I feel insulted when someone calls the imperialist mass murderer Obama a "socialist, communist, marxist".
