Mercedes - Benz killed the 600 limo series because they became so popular with dictators the company was embarrassed. The SHAH of Iran had a whole fleet of 600s Fidel Castro and his wife got one as a wedding gift from Col Khadafy of Libya the list is endless.
@McLarenMercedes I know but the 600 was rarely bought by wealthy people other than rock stars and celebrities. They were considered to be very noveau riche. They just developed a repuation for being owned by people deemed unsavory by old moneyed polite society.
Bastard cynic capitalists, the average of the European worker is making 1200 Euros a month scrapping a living while politicians have float of houses, car collections, they use the money from the tax payers to pay their private things like a swimming pool for their country house, a new race horse, look at the MPs in the UK, all of them bailed out by the Governemnt, look at the royal families in Europe living in palaces while the citizens live like rats and cant make it till the end of the month
The USSR was a great place if you were a high ranking fuctionary. Life was sweet for members of he Polituburo.
This was a society ruled by small elite who invested in a repressive regime that kept the natives cowed and the top guys like Brezhnev lived like American rock stars.
There was no shortage of leftist intellectuals to make excuses for one Communist government after the next.
The demise of the USSR ought to be celebrated as a world holiday.
Considering the absolutely horribly violent,inhumane,sexist and racist history of the Catholic and Christian religion I fail to understand how any God seeking right minded person would be drawn to either religion.That would make you guilty by association and acceptance. The two biggest religions are and have been the cause of hundreds of millions of deaths,tortures,rapes and murders. How can they be so affective in selling this poison to anyone? I question the legitimacy of Heaven and Hell
christianity and its fellow religions like islam and judaism are violent and sinful. in my opinion, the problem is that when religion becomes organised it somehow rottens from inside, becomes a tool to commit horrible things. just imagine how many people were tortured in the name of god, jesus, muhammad and so on...
@justiakas That's what they said in the USSR.. then the atheist regime slaughtered 23 million after Christian moral authority was removed from Russian lands by the Bolsheviks. Be careful what you wish for.
That is very interesting to see here. I remember surely that it was a state present by the German government in the late 60s or beginning 70s. Gutes Video. Danke.
i was born in the USSR (and proud of it!)and some Finish highschooler tells me that OBVIOUSLY I do not know anything about it. f*cking brainwashed monkeys
@ness19dsm . Dear Comrade Plyushchenko, calling people monkeys and using the "f" word only lowers your status and makes no converts to your ideas. To convince us that you are right requires rational arguments not school yard taunts.
@rickjones53 1st. taunts were in additon to rational arguments - pay attention... mate
2nd. you are not following your own advise - about the taunts i mean - as you talk about some socks and flying right. that really lowers your status in the rational arguments division, doesn't it. you probably forgot what you were talking about by the time you got to the end of your 2nd sentence, grandpa
men, i'm from soviet unioun. i swear that nobody was starving there and everyone had a job.and everyone had a flat and dacha. but the sysstem anyway was a great shit. a trash,let's say. big kiss from russia
people were not starving, because they were working. never soviets had a problem with work. now many people are starving and living on the streets. children as well. before sending me your comments- ask anyone from the foreigners to russians who were living in ussr at that time .i repeat- the regime was very bad. full stop, darling.
u can't characterize a country by a bad year or two - it's like saying US economic model is a failure and give great depression (or great recession ) as an example
@ness19dsm US economic model collapsed more than 30 years ago, that is why they took over poor Asian countries to produce there at cents per hour, living the proud Americans of their own model in a make-me-laugh situatin as they found themselves without a job because it is cheaper outsourcing and the whole globalization is the consequence of the failure of capitalist system as they can survive within their national economies, need to exploit other countries, look now, retirement age 70
Politics AND Religion have made life miserable for millions of people!
