Red October - Hymn of the USSR (pictures of socialist leaders)

[3SRBIJACCCC]

In fact, Slobodan Milosevic was a socialist. The last socialist country in Europe was Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia) under Slobodan MIlosevic (1992-2000).

[abcbatman1966]

What's black & white and red all over? (@5:12)

[MrIhatesafetymode]

Gaffadi is not a socialist or a communist. He is a captialist pig whom opposes Trotsky's ideology. He must b stopped as he continues to exploit not just libya. But the world!

[KGBspartan4]

WTF is saddam hussein doing in this video? he was in no motherfucking way a socialist nor a communist.

[TamaraLegend]

whats the name of the second song?

btw, viva la Yugoslavia :)

[ColonelHarry]

@TamaraLegend : second song is a melopoeia sung by Kazuko Kawashima ; it is from a japanese anime very popular in France (Saint Seiya). The french title of the song is Le Sacrifice.

[chakaling]

@TamaraLegend it's probably from Saint Seiya.



[chakaling]

@TamaraLegend it's probably Hyoga's theme from Saint Seiya.

[ASSASIN3601088]

for russia,for the mother land FOR COMMUNISM!

[157hotpocket]

we play this song in our marching band:)lol

[deathskull76]

Des leaders socialistes ? Barack Obama, un socialiste ? Une véritable méconnaissance de ces personnages.

[TheBlindPowerslave]

@deathskull76 La veritable misere est le fait que les americains croient qu'Hitler etait socialist...

[illupetto]

Obama??? A Socialist Leader?

[ktaguchi]

Got to update the faces.Got to add "OBAMA"at the very end of the photo lineup.

[theanhbeo]

häh? why did u put the guy pol pot in?

[paratrooper508]

most of the song sucks except 0:46 - 1:11 but that part is beyond epic

[WarezDaBeef]

Yeah the Russians in the USSR made the best luxury sports cars . . . they later invented the personal computer, . . under socialism they also developed the internet, created NASA, the iPod, lasers, the Airplane . . . don't listen to American Capitalist pig propaganda. Stalin never killed anyone. Those are capitalist lies. The KGB was actually a non-profit, humanitarian/charity organization. Don't listen to capitalist lies.

[SSErgenekon1488]

Death to the Left! Power to the Right! Better dead then red!

[jayers2]

@SSErgenekon1488 Grow up and stop living in fear. Why do I get the feeling you haven't ever lived in a communist system?

[Urgi2020]

What is Slobodan Milošević doing in this movie?

HE IS A SHAME OF THE COMMUNISM! HE IS THE YUGOSLAV GORBACHOV!

[Sreggaematic09]

wait...was that Saddam Hussein?!??! what is he doing on this vid?

[Sreggaematic09]

I wouldn't call Kim Jung Il or Kim Il Sung "Socialist" leaders, as they themselves have renounced Socialism in favor of "Juche". and Socialism and Communism can work, it just has to be done correctly, Marx would've spat at most of these regimes as "State capitalist Degenerative worker states"

[Townclownsunite]

Fuck you Glenn Beck!

[VanSisean]

Fascism doesn't necessarily constitute a racial supremacist ideology, but, rather, involves various forms of Social Darwinism. True, Fascism was an offshoot of the socialist movement, but Communism and Fascism differ in several vast ways. In regards to Social Darwinism, that can mean economically, militarily, religiously, philosophically or racially...just depends on the Fascists you're looking into. Nazis obviously would constitute the racial form.

[Lazurath101]

Who's the guy at 0:39?? I recognise him from somewhere...

[ColonelHarry]

Enver Hoxha (1908-1985).

He was the leader of Albania from 1945 to 1985.

[dualis777]

I'm glad that Soviet Union collapsed. That gave freedom to Eastern Europe. But to socialist independence is very bad thing..DDR was also shitty country because everyone wanted to get out. That proofed how happy people were in communist country..

[SSAK74SS]

Maybe, but we could have walked over you in the west anytime we wanted and make your little paradise a living hell

[Urgi2020]

@dualis777 HA! Just cuz it is called Russian federation, doesn't mean that USSR is gone!

ANd blame Stalin for shitty system of east europe, not the ideology, AND GERMANS DESERVE DEATH!

[EdOscuro]

Per Albin Hansson's governments from the 30s and 40s helped bring Sweden out of the Depression. They did introduce a sort of planned economy via regulation instead of outright ownership. The idea of "social democracy," which the SDP fits into, may not seem like traditional socialism. Yet it is both a direct descendant of many Marxist parties, and it also tends to be close to many old-style interpretations of socialism from those who eschewed revolution. It's a branch of the tree.

[odcwb]

Saddam is/was head of the Baathist Socialist Party...............

......so was Assad of Syria.

[neovannn]

@odcwb

"Baathist Socialist Party" = It's just a word.

There was nothing "Socialist" in the way he led Iraq.

He was just a CIA mercenary.

[USMCclanBFV]

Nice video so far, but what has Saddam Hussein to do with socialism?

[ColonelHarry]

While "arab socialism" may differ from other marxist ideologies (in eastern Europe or Asia) on many aspects (like religion), it is still a socialism, with totalitarian leadership and nationalisation of means of production. This was the ideology of Gadafi, Nasser, Saddam Hussein, Assad or even Yasser Arafat. I could have add Ben Barka or algerian FLN leaders in my montage.

Actually, my only mistake was perhaps the inclusion of sudanese Omar el-Bashir (and Obama was a joke).

[thugyheadbanger]

@ColonelHarry hhh I don't even consider stalin a socialist nor nor saddam hussein nor hafiz alasad man they don't even represent "arab socialism " which for me its not socialism the only one you can call arab an arab socialist is jamal abd al nasser :)

btw socialism is about direct democracy or a technical state or institution but toteliterian bullshit is fucking stalin's outcome .

the same with lenin's one party but it was a revolution against tyranny the same happened in france :)

[odcwb]

ColonelHarry,

The second song @ 3:00 , is that Russian ? Thanks.

[ColonelHarry]

Lol no. This is actually from the soundtrack of a japanese cartoon (Saint Seiya). The singer is Kanzuko Kawashima, and the componist is Seiji Yokoyama.

[SecretAgentSPIXHVS]

im tired of this quasi-socialist obama shit, its not happening and even if it really was Id be happy

[blahbutt23]

also i know i spelled that wrong blow me still true

[blahbutt23]

but the chinese are just as evil as russia if you see there civil unrest videos such as present islamic problems in smaller cities and Tianimen Square you will know that China is the most dangerous country in the world right next to NK and Russia

[duneranger]

/yawn communism the government of third countries....even China's economy is pretty much capitalist...why? because they are not complete morons...

[crazycamel345]

wtf? How is Saddam Hussein a socialist leader?? He actually hunted down communists (who were mostly Shia) in Iraq, To have him in this video is a disgrace.

[KGB9]

5:17 una estupidez

[IEDDTEK]

Nice touch! Obama at the end! Priceless!

And yet...most of the people depicted in this video are MORE than what all the rest are...which is...GODLESS heathen criminal commies....and Ilyich Ramirez Sanchez????? A.K.A. Carlos the Jackal??? and Che??? Nothing more than filthy commie criminals!

But the worst...the crowning turd(s) in the waterpipe...Both Kims!

[daranieu]

sadly, after all the time and money we speny fighting commies, our president is in the communist hall of fame

[VictorLepanto]

It never ceases to amuse me how both radical socialist, communist & your generic Soviet sentimentalists; & your typical fascist, Nazi symp type will parallel each other. It is utterly unselfconscious but they could not be more in lock step if they were in a N. Korean military parade.

Soviet sentimentalist embracing this song, which is obviously mocking the stupidity of the Soviet Union, is like Neo-nazis embracing "The Future Belongs to Me." "The Future Belongs to Glorious Comrad Stalin."

[LeviRHogan]

Stalin is an arse:

The purge, bad goverment, trusted hitler

Stalin is cool:

Kick arse white tux, kick Hitler's arse, and his cool mustache.

[Phariall]

Saddm and Obama? ha ha ha! Saddam wasn't communist! He wasn't bad, but he wasn't communist. And Obama is new face of capitalism and imperialism!

[elephante3]

not really. if u look closly, he talks of bring people home from the war and taking care of the community. which is clearly an act of communism, but American political education is puly centerd of the government, thats y they say to there young, communists are bad and we're good" at the time every one who did want to help US was comi. the world is comi in its way, just read the doctrine before any of you say anything else

[KackeAmStill]

why the fuck is the last pic Obama??

[ninkampoop0321]

Cause people think he's socialist when he's technically a democrat

[daranieu]

he belongs to the democratic party, but his beliefs and policies are wholey socialist

[ColonelHarry]

It was just a joke, when some at the right thought that he will be the new Allende or something. :-)

But actually, I said "socialist" and not "communist" leaders. So I guess that in a broader meaning, you could include "socialist" or "social-democrat" leaders like François Mitterrand, Obama or Zapatero in the movie (but we could also include them in a "capitalist leaders" movie, so...).

[ninkampoop0321]

Can I please have the 1st song?

The one from 0:00- 2:59

[ColonelHarry]

Hello. This is from the movie The Hunt of Red October. You can find it on iTunes Music Store. Lyrics and translation are also easily available on the web (google it). Some say that this is the actual russian navy hymn (but I have no info).

[ninkampoop0321]

Well it's not the actual Russian hymn. I checked on the internet. The Russian archives claim that the The red october hymn isn't theirs, contrary to what most Americans think. Basil Poledouris composed this song.

[TearsattheNightfall]

This isn't the hymn of the USSR lol; it's from Hunt for Red October; written by Basil Poledouris, a greek-american filmscore composer :/

[aeroniq]

Well, mates, some of your comments are amazing... I admit I know little about Obama; instead, I spent half of my life in the USSR, that's why I think I know well enough that country, its leaders & theoretical roots. Marx & Engels, Lenin & Stalin were all f*ng big sh*ts (bad people). Their communist theory is just as bad. The best soviet leader was Gorbachev - he put an end to the USSR era. Unfortunately, nowadays Russia tries to replace it... If I were you, I'd pray to God that it never happens.

[SFRobertsDickClarke]

Do you actually have a point? Because all I'm seeing is a bunch of pictures. At least in my video I discussed something.

[AliveStorm93]

How quaint.

Real socialists will easily dismiss this as idiocy.

[PixiesFanatic]

On Etatism, I'm pretty sure Bush is invading the private lives of American citizens and telling them how to live their lives, so change from Obama would be reducing that invasion of privacy, and most likely reducing Etatism. In some ways, I think there will be less government control under Obama than Bush.

For collectivism, do you honestly think someone who believed the group is more important than the individual would get elected? No. I think he is a Capitalist and wants all of us to succeed

[RubyO2O4]

You know, for all the faults of the Right-wing, this is hilarious. We Leftists would be wise to learn from this video. Imagine Spencer & Malthus morphing into Nietzsche morphing into Mussolini & Hitler morphing into Reagan & Thatcher morphing into Greenspan & Cheney...

[PixiesFanatic]

Nice propaganda, you don't even have evidence to back up your claims

[ColonelHarry]

"Yes, we can" sounded leninist for me.

I only raise a question : since in his campaign he was threatening individual freedom, was he the one who will bring "change" to the world, who will break from reanano-tatcherian economic and democratic policies ? If he's just another pro-market and pro-democracy president, fine. But why did he present himself as the agent of so-called change if it was not not promote socialism, etatism and collectivism ?

[PixiesFanatic]

Leninist maybe, but there is a very very large difference between Stalin and Lenin. Lenin had good ideas that weren't executed perfectly and fought against imperialism (although I disagree with the violent rise to power), while Stalin reversed Lenin's work and was a horrible person.

On ending Reaganomics and Thatcher policies, I have no doubt there will be more regulations, increased taxes for the wealthy, and hostility toward communist governments will be tempered.

[PixiesFanatic]

But his theory for getting all of us to that point is to have lower classes (who have all but been forgotten recently, just look at the response to Katrina) come closer to success, rather than only the highest economic bracket having any kind of wealth.

In the end I do see Marx and Lenin having similarities to Obama, but so what. The reason Communism has a bad name is because of Stalin and all who came after him, the idea of a dictator who maintains control through propaganda.

[PixiesFanatic]

If you've read the Communist manifesto then you'll know that Marx would've been outraged at the perversion of his ideas. Which brings me to your use of propaganda in the first place, that is exactly what Stalin would've used to scare people into agreeing with him, and is a tactic I completely disagree with, inspiring my first comment. Bush is much more like Stalin than Obama will ever be, using fear to start a war with propaganda. So if Obama is like Lenin, fine.

[PixiesFanatic]

I'd rather have that than a propagandist fear driven state, and I definitely do believe the fear tactic will be largely absent from Obama's administration. Now comes the age of hope and self confidence, and I'm excited

[PixiesFanatic]

On a final note, Lenin had many faults and the idea of mass terror to control people is something he did and was reprehensible, but he did reintroduce some free market with the NEP before Stalin abandoned it in favor of Collectivization..ugh. I do believe in Capitalism and Russia proved that a country cannot thrive without a partially free market

Where as Lenin and Stalin truly turned on the lower classes, I genuinely think Obama will do more for them than anyone since his true similarity, FDR.

[ElusiveHermit]

this video is scaring the shit out of me! Good job!

[jmm1233]

i was thinking that obama's socialism is going be very heavy in religion , so it be more of a socialist facist religous left , then a coummunist based left , if you can picture that , it scary either way

[JuanCarandell]

Obama is like Zapatero o like Tony Blear

[ColonelHarry]

Or Salvador Allende ?

I think Zapatero and Blair were more like Bill Clinton (who was a Blue Dog Democrat). But Barack Obama was the more leftist senator in US Congress.

[JuanCarandell]

The politic of Zapatero is like to the Obama politic, I know it because I am Spanish, Obama is socialdemocratics, like Zapatero. I thik there are great politician

[dodoria19]

Whats wrong with that? Salvador Allende was a patriot! he fought for his people til Death!

[RadicalDemocrat]

Hope is on the way! Free housing too :).

[ITOLDYOUFIRST]

Americans need to wake up and realize that socialism/communism is right around the corner.

[llama3aterr]

Socialist? false, dont be angry because Mccain was too stupid to win against a black man

[ColonelHarry]

President Obama will implement socialism in the USA, as Roosevelt did. And, just as with Roosevelt, there probably will be "another Yalta".

By "another Yalta", I mean that President Obama will sacrify some countries, some people, on behalf of the so-called peace. He announced he wanted to leave Iraq. And what else ? Will he defend Europe (including new eastern Europa), Israel, Taiwan,... and will he encourage free trade, or will he focus on american interests at short term solely ?

[llama3aterr]

Are you trying to say that its a bad thing to pull out of iraq? because the Iraq war was just a waste of money

[ColonelHarry]

Are you trying to say that it was a bad thing to remove the armies of Saddam Hussein from Kuweit, then to remove it from power when it appeared he won't never respect the cease-fire conditions ?

[llama3aterr]

That wasnt the reason they invaded iraq, the reason they invaded Iraq was because they thought he had soemthing to do with 911, they thought he had WMD's..........which both of them were false........They were supposed to invade Afghanistan because thats where Bin laden was at the time WHICH HE ADMITTED TO 911........

[ColonelHarry]

But this is Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright who said Saddam Hussein had still his weapons of mass destruction and who voted for regime change (the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998) !?

[llama3aterr]

What are you talking about? it was the whole bush administration that brain washed the public into thinking that they had WMD's in 2001 you stupid moron, 7 years and trillions of dollars later here we are.......do some research before making yourself look like a fool

[ColonelHarry]

Absolutely not. Saddam Hussein did possess weapons of mass destruction (he even used them against his own kurdish people and against iranians). The question was to know what he did with them. And both Bill Clinton, Bush and many other intelligence services around the world did not have answers, but we knew one thing : he lied to inspectors in early 90s and expulsed them in 1998. Saddam Hussein was in material breach of 17 UN resolutions when he was removed from power.

[llama3aterr]

First of all the iraq war did not start in 1998 you dumb fuck.......second of all THE UNITED NATIONS SAID HE DID NOT HAVE ANY WMD'S DO YOU UDNERSTAND THAT........IN 2001.....YOU STUPID IDIOT......AFTER THE INSPECTIONS THEY SAID HE HAD NO WMD'S.......THEREFORE BUSH COMMITED A WAR CRIME BY INVADING ANYWAYS

HE ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE YOU IDIOT

[cool8man]

Shut up and learn something. Watch Al Gore and Bill Clinton make the case for war with Iraq:

watch?v=asHmttxrxZE

Then come back here and admit you were wrong.

[llama3aterr]

are you fucking retarded........BILL CLINTON AND AL GORE WERE NOT PRESIDENTS IN 2001 BUSH WAS AND HE DIDNT LISTEN TO THE UN WHEN THEY SAID THAT IRAQ DID NOT HAVE WMD'S.......are you stupid? did you not watch the news during that time, obviously you didnt cause you're a fucking retard........this has nothing to do with gore or clinton

[ANGRYGRlNDCOREFAN65]

Fuck you I will drop a Nuke on you and 100 nukes on Iraq, Iran, and North korea

[llama3aterr]

LOL, ok buddy, working at mcdonalds doesnt give you that power......kk bye

[Enlightend]

Will he overthrow another democracy like Republicans did to Iran in 1953?

[historygenius]

Let's just hope our good friend special interests foils all of Obama's plans.
