planned economies inefficient?

'The truth of the matter, however, was that East German socialism was more efficient than West German capitalism, producing faster growth rates, and was more responsive to the basic needs of its population. “East Germany’s national income grew in real terms about two percent faster annually that the West German economy between 1961 and 1989.” [19]'

"Democracy, East Germany and the Berlin Wall"

-from MarxistLeninist web site

[joe579003]

@Guevaristas I dispute the neutrality of that source.

[Guevaristas]

@joe579003 why? If you dispute it's neutrality then prove it it is not neutral. You are the one who made the assertion therefore it rests upon you to prove it

[numacunosti]

Can anyone tell me why the Soviet Union imploded in the end?

[Guevaristas]

@numacunosti who knows, Gorbachev's reforms? Perestoika and glasnost? Pressure from Reagan and Thatcher and others? Boris Yeltzin(another cunt). A whole range of factors.

 I watched it on on TV, watched the whole thing unfold. It was one of the most devastating events in history

[numacunosti]

@Guevaristas or maybe that planed economies cannot keep up with market economies.

[Guevaristas]

wow. I hate Commies so much, but you gotta admit. they make a damn good anthem

[Guevaristas]

@100yroldbaby lol a back-handed compliment

[LAKOPUNJABI]

the Soviet union

[tomitstube]

so was this like the soviet union anthem? have there been other anthems?

[Guevaristas]

@tomitstube not sure, the the lyrics have changed over the years

[SuperMrBentley]

Russians are Great People. But Soviets are EPIC people.

[Guevaristas]

did the USSR have wide powers to control it's citizens? In new zealand, a so-called first world capitalist democracy (joke), the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) can plant listening devices etc into a citizen's home to gather evidence for a prosecution. These powers, under the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Act 1969, can be cited for you.

Also, the death penalty for treason and mutiny was only ablolished in 1989 (Abolition of the Death Penalty Act 1989).

[rikruw]

Actually, the "socialists" in the Nazi party (e.g., Ernst Roehm) were killed by Hitler in the Night of Long Knives.

[Guevaristas]

@rikruw if that's correct, that is an argument against others that claim socialism per se, is alligned with Hitler's National socialism.

[rikruw]

@Guevaristas Yes, I am saying that the Nazis were NOT socialist, since they killed off all of their members who did accept elements of socialism (e.g., nationalization of industries), as the free market wing of Nazi party (led by Hitler) viewed them as a threat.

[Commiton]

@Guevaristas It true. Germany's so-called National Socialists wasn't socialist, but a corporate state like the USA. Hitler himself had socialistic leanings in terms of government assistance to lower income Germans (Germans only), & there were early socialistic aid programs. These were more to deal with the effects of the Depression while the German corporate state re-vitalized industry than a commitment to socialism by the capitalist German ruling class.

[Guevaristas]

@rikruw did some reading on Ernst Roehm, not sure that he was socialist in the literal sense. Arguably, his form of solidarity was to further fascism

[AcePilot101]

Soviet Union (Marxism) is "international" socialism. Nazi Party (Hitler) was "national socialism". And they both murdered millions of their own citizens.

The Soviet Union was just a fascist dictatorship under a red flag.

[Guevaristas]

@AcePilot101 you are a lying idiot puppet. If you took time to view the vids on YT and do serious research you would find that far more have been murdered under imperialism than in the Soviet Union etc

[peterkvideo]

@Guevaristas He's just a typical zombie of western neoliberal/bouergois propaganda!

[Commiton]

@Guevaristas I've done this research and agree with you Guevaristas. For example. American's go on about Stalin being a mass murdering monster (ignoring the evidence disproving this released after the Soviet fall) But all through the same time period as Stalin's the US was murderously backing dictators who ran death camps, had death squads, and totally oppressed masses of human beings by the millions (and continues to).

[Guevaristas]

@Commiton yes, but ehe US has a speccial immunity. It can murder in the glorious name of democracy

[bambinonero]

@AcePilot101 Arse-pilot....hm..."The Soviet Union was just a fascist dictatorship"...why did you allied yourself with the evil power? Just curious....

[peterkvideo]

@AcePilot101 Well, and what about the fact that Nazism was just a sort of capitalism (state capitalism, actually). Hitler didn't nationalize a single German capitalist! Moreover, he (Hitler) was actively supported by German big business (especially military monopolies).

official name Hitler's party is Capitalist of Fascist party

[t239]

In the Soviet Union, you could be sent to a labor camp for ten years for accidentally ripping or putting a pin through a newspaper clipping with Stalin's picture on it.

[Guevaristas]

@t239 prove it

[cheburashka1326]

Nice one - deleting comments most constructive way to argue - bravo. You would fit right in USSR.

[Guevaristas]

@cheburashka1326 they were full on abuse, and tired of others highjacking these vids

[azkodagama]

Soon Gorbachev will die, and people will spit in his grave.

[Guevaristas]

good, are you in Russia?

[azkodagama]

Yes comrade

[Guevaristas]

Gorbachev is the ultimate traitor of history -THIS is how he will be remembered

[avilez2008]

u are right Gorbachev is a fucking traitor and deserve to burn in hell like Adolf Hitler and George W. Bush

[Guevaristas]

right on, where would the USSR have ended up if they had a strong leader? Was it necessary to reform the USSR?

[Guevaristas]

and you would rather be your own libertarian fascist?

Would that satisfy your own selfish inclinations, proclivities?

[ssmusic214]

Stupido!

Libertarian fascist is oxymoron!

Contradiction of terms!

Fascists were socialists, not libertarians.

[Guevaristas]

thats not what was meant you insulting idiot.

Libertarian fascism meaning: individuals exercising freedoms that restrict, violate, & contravene, the freedoms of others within society

For instance, many libertarians are opposed to social welfare. They are against legislation that compels them to pay taxes to the state for the purpose of maintaining a welfare state.

So, freedom is tainted with fascism, they are little Hitlers

[ssmusic214]

Brainless moron! Ever read any history books?

What was the official name of Hitler's party? Fascists were the ones who introduced into Germany every socialist institution you can name. Social security, job security, socialized health care, child care, education, subsidized transportation (Volkswagen), even socialized recreation (Kraft durch Freude).

Get a clue what you're blabbing about....

[Guevaristas]

@ssmusic214 Hiler wa s not a social, history proves that eg. the murder of 6 million jews

[peterkvideo]

@Guevaristas Also, Hitler was actively supported financially by German big business when was coming to power!

[cheburashka1326]

I think you have logical mistake - forcing somebody to pay taxes in favor of social welfare restricts that taxpayer's freedoms. Not getting a welfare does not restrict freedom in any way shape or form. It is funny how you switched it around - good one. "pay taxes to the state for the purpose of maintaining a welfare state" - wow, why does it surprise you that a taxpayer is against freeloaders? I do not see the logic here. You conclusion is as illogical.

[Guevaristas]

it's not illogical it's logical.

Under capitalism who forces you to pay taxes? You are compelled to pay taxes under legislation (in new zealand, Income Tax Act).

Who enacted that legislation? Parliament, the peoples representatives elected in the fake democracy.

So, what you are really complaining about is the legislation that compels you and millions of others to pay tax to the Inland Revenue (in U$A the IRS).

[Guevaristas]

the capitalist welfare state is the proletariats bribe. It's merely a safety net to keep people off the streets, to provide them with a pathetically low benefit, survival money

[Guevaristas]

@cheburashka1326 what commets were deleted?

[Guevaristas]

@cheburashka1326 most tax payers are morons. The are consumers not Revolutionaries.

You rant on and complain about paying taxes, yet it's you pathetic fake western capitalist democracy that compels you to pay them vis legislation.

But, like a hypocrite, you instead attack those recieving benefits.

[Guevaristas]

many in the USSR now have their own story. There are those that want the USSR back, they miss it.

Moast of you commenting here are talking total garbage.

For a start, the USSR was NOT Communist in the literal sense, it was, instead, a Socialist State, you even fail to make this elementary distinction

[ssmusic214]

Right! There's hardly any family left in USSR that didn't loose at list one member to Stalin's mass murders. They can tell you more stories than you can blubber off from your stupid mouth.

[Guevaristas]

the statistics invovling Stalin's era are incorrect.

Around the early 1990s, Gorbachev released Soviet documents that contradict the figures relied on in the west.

These documents are about 9,000 pages long, and were scrutinized by four prominent Russian historians and found to be legitimate.

see the vid on CommunistNewZealand's channel and on RedNick's channel about Stalin and the gulags etc

[jonathanbain14]

most people here don't have a scooby about political ideologies and simply transmit the bullshit they are fed. Russia was attempting to become communist, it was in the socialist transition period.

[Guevaristas]

so you are in Russia? Interesting comment you made: have you read Lenin's State & Revolution where he wrote of the transitional phase from socialism to Communism?

[odinheim]

It is very sad that the Soviet Union collapsed due to Capitalism, look at the people of the old soviet republics , they live in misery and poverty, crime, drugs, prostitution, killing, the old society was better , we need revolution in Russia, or the Fascism will take over in Russia , and the end of the world is getting closer , we the revolutionary are the only one who can stop them

viva la revolution

[ukrainesov21]

USSR was cool but it never needed Gorbachev's deRmocracy that eventually killed it...

[Guevaristas]

"Soviet Union killed dozens of millons of its own people"

That is completely untrue, you lap up western lies and propaganda, but you fail to do serious research eg. into Stalinist Soviet Union

see RedNick's education vids. You need to be put in a communist re-education camp

[casperado666]

my brain just exploded

too much crap in one video

[Guevaristas]

it was not the vid, it was all the crap and bollcks in your brain

[casperado666]

yeah thank you. my family lived in and survived the real soviet union and it was not the one in your video.

Soviet Union killed dozens of millons of its own people. And the first ones to die were the revolutionaries - idiots like you. Learn some history before you support some radical form of state. You illiterate foreign communists make me laugh.

[Guevaristas]

you are a bit of a silly person. you rant about millions being killed, you believe all that western shit and propanganda. But did you know that Gorbachev released historic Soviet documents in the early 1990s? These documents were scrutinized by four Russian historians (non-socialists). The figures revealed that what the west have been stating was wrong.

YOU do your dam homework idiot

see RedNick's vids on Stalin etc

[casperado666]

Death of millions is statistics which is easily forged that's why Russian "documents" are a pile of crap. And in the end of the day i don't care about numbers I care about what has been done to my family and my nation, if you're too retarded to understand tragedies of others than you'RE no better than nazi revisionists.

Hope your kids go through what my family went through.

Have a nice day red scum

[Guevaristas]

you fascist asshole, your family should have been sent to a siberian gulag along with you. Perhaps Stalin is needed back again

[Imthewbestintheworld]

@Guevaristas why? so he can pave the way for his country to go to shit again?

[Guevaristas]

are there any mafia in Russia?

[Imthewbestintheworld]

@Guevaristas probably but how is that relevent the conversation?

[Guevaristas]

Russia has turned into an imperialist nation rampant with criminal activity.

Chomsky claims that capitalist reform slung them back into a third wotld economy. Remember the USSR took Russia from a backward peasant nation to a world super power

[Imthewbestintheworld]

yes, but at what cost to the working class?

[Guevaristas]

the cost was their future inability to exploit other citizens, just as under Tzardist Russia they were exploited

[Imthewbestintheworld]

correct me if im wrong but u sound like exploiting citizen is a good thing

[Guevaristas]

no, the sentence was badly worded. Under socialism all exploitation ends. Socialism restricts economic freedoms, it has to, otherwize it would be capitalism, and capitalism is shit

[Imthewbestintheworld]

i think ill just let history answer that statement

[Guevaristas]

so are you pro-capitalist exploitation?

[Imthewbestintheworld]

not at all, under all government there will be someform of exploitation but some forms of government (mainly because of the Nation) will exploit more than others

[NoMorFear]

@Guevaristas

If choosing one's work voluntarily for themself is exploitation, what does that make involuntarily being forced to work for the state?

And you know why communism fails, right? Contemporary communism, genuine communism, w/e, it all fails because without private property, supply cannot adequately meet demand as the state runs the price system and the state cannot possibly understand and work-out the intricacies of each individual's needs in a large, complex society.

[Guevaristas]

@NoMorFear there is evidence that planned economies have worked well. Actually the DDR's did very well during the mid-1970s, it was an industrial powerhouse. I can provide an article supporting this statement.

If planned economies are so defective, how was Russia, once a backwrad peasant nation (no offence) , transformed into a first world super-power under a socialist system?

[patmix]

i see lots of nice women too on this clip

Even is cccp era  , there was beautiful women too

[ssmusic214]

What a dumb moron!

When it comes to exploitation, capitalists are not even close to communist apparatchiks.

[Guevaristas]

'What a dumb moron! '

what university did you attend lol fool, you write like a 5 year old which reflects you mentality

[ssmusic214]

Moscow USSR . And lived there for 30 years.

I can teach idiots like you what real exploitation is.

[Guevaristas]

you could not teach yourself to pis in a straight line

[ssmusic214]

Moron. I experienced both systems myself and You are just blabbing without a clue.

[Guevaristas]

why don't you get the hell away from this vid, no one wants to read your traitorous accounts of life in the USSR.

[odinheim]

tanks for your video long live the russian revolution

we will never forget

viva Chavez viva fidel

[Guevaristas]

crawl back under your rock with the other fascist insects

[tommycam7]

The problem isn't communism versus capitalism, the problem is Russia. When they were peasants under the Tsar, they were exploited and repressed. Under communism, they were repressed and entrepreneurship was stifled. Now that they're a 'capitalist' autocracy (not democracy, they are far from that), they are left poor as a few of Putin's cronys and oligarchs run everything.
