THE FAILED PROMISES OF COMMUNISM - Pt 1 of 5 (Augustus Classic)

[TheRandomSweed]

The only ones that developed perfect communism is bees and ants. Human beings are not adoptable to communism.

[hyphens]

7 "Occupiers" disliked the truth

[amamerc]

"[Crude communism] wishes to eliminate talent, etc., by force . . . The role of worker is not abolished but extended to all men. The relation of private property remains the relation of the community to the world of things . . . This communism, which negates the personality of man in every sphere is . . . Universal envy setting itself up as a power, is only camouflaged form of cupidity which re-establishes itself and satisfies itself in a different way."

Marx, Private Property & Communism, 1844

[gooddaver]

I guess no system is better in absolutes, Communism OR Capitalism!

[16ChocolateHearts]

do you think that maybe communism was beneficial for Russia... I mean look at the state it is in now...

[TheRandomSweed]

@16ChocolateHearts Indeed. My wife who is russian can tell a few storys of standing and waiting for food with food tickets for 4 - 5 hours in the food qeues in the 90's. Communism was and is a social failure. Look at North Korea.

[Shukria123]

Most people I've met from Russia tell me they lived better under communism.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@Shukria123 PART-1: Well, when I was in Frankfurt, I have heard stories of people who longed for Nazi Germany, there many people who actually enjoyed living under Hitler’s Germany of high employment, fervent nationalism, pride & prosperity. I loved my life in Brazil during the Military Regime, even though there were limitations and some people suffered. There are always “some people” who like “something” that most others either disliked or detested!

[Shukria123]

@LatinAmerican2010 Just Google 'Germans Berlin Wall back' and you'll see that a significant proportion of former East Germans miss communism.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@Shukria123 - East Germany (Deutsch Demokratische Republik) was the one communist country which almost succeeded. In fact the entire marxist ethics took the "german profile" into consideration. Yet, while it was materially more comfortable than all other Marxist countries, Only their economy was OK. They also lived in fear, they were also prosecuted and they were also oppressed. Yet, because they were better off enconomically in the DDR, many suffered with the fall of comm. They could not adapt

[hectorbolshevik]

@LatinAmerican2010: Surely someone who loved life under Gen. Branco in Brazil wouldn't object to any society that imposes censorship, secret police, and military terror on their people. So there must be another reason. Stripping the ruling class of power, clamping down on the authority of the church, what?

[LatinAmerican2010]

@hectorbolshevik - The measures mentioned by you "censorship, secret police, and military" in Brazil were INFINITLY MILDER than it would have been under any obnoxious communist ASSASIN who might have come to power under any FILTHY Leninist regime. In addition, Authoritarian Right wing governments were all TEMPORARY (easy to get rid of) & INDISPENSIBLE to CLEAN UP the region from the RED FILTH. The only way to fight TOTALITARIAN COMUNIST TYRANTS is to utilize their VERY WEAPONS to DESTROY them

[hectorbolshevik]

@LatinAmerican2010: Well, the Stalinists were at least decent enough to be honest about it, and not tell you the you had the right to vote with a soldier standing behind you making sure you voted for the military or else. Brazil is no longer a dictatorship, yet the "dictatorship" in Cuba still remains. Go figure. Right-wing dictatorships were never temporary, to "clean up the red filth" as you put it. They were toppled in one form or another by their people.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@hectorbolshevik -There are no decent Stalinists-promoters one 1 party, 1 leader, militarism, vertical authorithy, censorship, imposed ideology, opporession, torture and immesurable abuse of power. Your type of societies were NOT designed for humanity, for our species is plagued by horrible defects, and totalitarian systems CANNOT deliver the ideal societies because of insanity, greed, hatred, envy, revenge, thirst for power causing persecutions, blackmail, harrassment & rape. You're monsters!

[azandhind4eva]

@LatinAmerican2010 '' insanity, greed, hatred, envy, revenge, thirst for power causing persecutions, blackmail, harrassment & rape.''sounds like capitlaism/it doesnt look like society today ''IDEAL''.ppl are corrupt.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@Shukria123 PART-2:The crux of the matter being that “because certain people” expressed they liked or dislike something could not reflect what the majority disliked or dismiss what most abhorred. Members of the Soviet Communist party, specially the high officials (membership was not opened to all) had SEVERAL privileges (the high officials had even access to hard-currency stories where goods from the West were available, whereas most had to fight over lousy, low quality goods after hours in line

[LatinAmerican2010]

@Shukria123 PART-3 After you split the LONG time in line with members of your family (one in line for butter, the other for bread, another for eggs, while some would just get on line because he/she found a line and presume there must be something he/she will want & it’s hard to get by, only to find out that whatever they wanted to purchased was either sold out or happened to be articles that you would never consider buying, given the putrid quality or condition of the item in question

[Shukria123]

@LatinAmerican2010 True enough. Many East Germans could not adapt to capitalism: just Google 'poverty Germany'

[LatinAmerican2010]

@Shukria123 PART-4: I cannot imagine that anyone could enjoy working long hours, without any hope of a better life – to wait for 3-5 years for a car, to spend hours a day in line. To deal with the alcoholism of the majority who lost hope. To deal with intimidations, neighborhood spies (making sure you do not anything politically incorrect); to deal with the occasional black-mail (specially pretty ladies) & not be able to report anything lest the security of your family was endangered?

[LatinAmerican2010]

@Shukria123 PART-5 Worst yet, must have been the silence you had to keep, the knowledge that you were not allowed to say whatever you wanted anywhere, for the wrong people could hear it,= & report you to the authorities with the pretence of anti-socialist behavior, or perhaps accused of spousing the views of the enemy. Not to mention the illegal arrests, under any pretence, since the authorithy could NOT be questioned +after all that to turn on the radio/open the journal to read that all is well

[davidsegun]

@Shukria123 nah i had a russian friend she told me she better of living poor and free rather and in bondage of communism . and also my polish canadian teacher. :)

[LatinAmerican2010]

@davidsegun @Shukria123 I fully agree with Davidsegun! Far worse than poverty is living oppressed, threatend & in a constant state of fear, unable to express my views & opinions, and having to suspect the members of my own family lest I find myself in jail for having expressed "anti-social" ideas. Those who promote Marxism-Leninism should move to Havana to experience the reality of life under a totalitarian regime. All communist advocates are liars & hypocrites without exception!

[hectorbolshevik]

@LatinAmerican2010: " The only way to fight TOTALITARIAN COMUNIST TYRANTS is to utilize their VERY WEAPONS to DESTROY them"

I rest my case. What defines a "communist"? A labor activist who raises unfair work issues, a pacifist who speaks out against military rule, a progressive who questions the church? Take your pick, kid.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@hectorbolshevik -First of all, I question any church because I am a radical atheist! My definition of a communist is much more strict. Beforehand, let's defragment the term, it has 2 components: an economic one (Marxism) & a political (Leninist). While I do not necessarily oppose some Marxist views & believe in the evolution of societs (capitalism-socialism-"true communism"), I stronly oppose Leninism: 1 PARTY, 1 Leader, Milatarism, Ideological purity imposed, censorship, oppression & hipocrisy

[hectorbolshevik]

@Shukria123: Same here. Not to mention Yugoslavs who've told me the benefits of living under "freedom and democracy": living for years in the basement, rarely going out, and praying there isn't a bullet or shell that has your name on it.

[creativeengineer]

The Chinese regime will never be truthful to their people. The people know that communism is dead. The communist leaders have allowed rightists and capitalists to run the China. COMMUNISM IS DEAD. Admit it you cowardly yellow people.

[meanruussian]

gosh

is american propaganda going to stop some day?

[TAUCETI999]

@meanruussian - on the very day when totalitarian oppressive philosophies disappear from the horizons of this abused planet, for whereas the Americans have contributed a bit to such an abuse, their contribution SAVING IT from the schackles of totalitarian ideologies (marxism-leninism, national socilism & islamism) far outweigh any damage they may have caused... I'm not an American citizen, but I thank the United States for preventing populist totalitarians from taking over the world!

[tonexw23pontousyeah]

for american youngsters till 13,it's ok.sosialism bad,capitalism good.so simple

[AugustusAurelianus1]

This was my favorite series at my original channel, which was unfortunately suspended by Youtube. That's why I brought it here, to MY POLITICAL CHANNEL

[faokim]

good, a documentary to watch ^^

[torkoal531]

I simply wish people would just get along, naive as it may be.

[TAXavier07]

@torkoal531 Of course, but I'm not going to force people TO get along.

[torkoal531]

@TAXavier07 Yes, because that in itself would be hypocritical. 

[TAXavier07]

@torkoal531 You idealists will eventually solve the riddle imo. It's simply a matter of when, and that will be a great day imo.

[torkoal531]

@TAXavier07 I give us a week. just kidding :)

[TAXavier07]

@torkoal531 Anarchism

[chigal09]

That Nina Mutova swallowed the lies hook, line and sinker. She was so brain washed with the muck of collectivism.

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45 ….. Therefore, it is not OK in any way to minimize the perception of oneself and of the country's particular well being just to sustain your typical “socialism”.

Instead, try to work with others to improve those in the world that suffer and die to maintain true freedom. Become a “greener” person for the sake of all newcomers, assist others in need inside and outside your country.

[MrHistoryman45]

@ticos2010s Becoming greener is a fine objective but matters little when a million and half people are not getting adequate food in Palestine because of thew Israeli blockade. When millions have suffered and continue too in Iraq because of an illegal war and when the West is blasting everything that moves in Afghanistan in an attempt to steal the countries reported mineral wealth.

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45,You are talking to the wrong people here,but if you were ever able to speak to the right ones,I am sure your case would never have any grounds to even move any agenda whatsoever because on the outside you seem touched by calamities but in the inside there is nothing but socialist propaganda.You are nothing but a radical person as most of your kind, who takes the most advantage out of each and every scenario.

Your problem is you were not born in the right country, Syria perhaps?

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45 ... It seems your heroes: Lenin, Stalin and Castro are some of the finest people that have walked the face of this earth, -right?

Loosing year after year in that interminable and totally nonsense crusade, you must spend most of your time swallowing hatred and resentment, yielding to a one more bitter person on this planet.

You ought to give it up man and truly start doing good to others instead of blaming everybody else.

[ticos2010s]

@ticos2010s @MrHistoryman45 ... Please do not answer me back as I am done with you. I do not pursue further interaction with someone that will not take my advise seriously.

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45 ...... the worst thing you can do to them is to make them trust and follow your socialistic political agenda. If there is hunger and inequality right now, the transition and incorporation of this agenda will bring nothing but economical devastation and much more hunger across the World. Nothing that socialism gets a grip of becomes in any way a better product.

[MrCarlosPanama]

LONG LIVE TRUE FREEDOM ...

Not the one that is handed out in bits and pieces by those in sheer control of your life.

Being a red these days "in body and soul", might as well hand out his life to the world new order. xD

[ticos2010s]

In my part of this World, people with the ability to lie and deceive unpolitical parties are lynched with no mercy. So, I hope he and other plastic communists come to my turf one day. Just for 24 hours ...

[albokk]

fuck communism

[gfks11]

I must delete all your 4 vids of FAILED PROMISES....coz of a yt prob...but now faved them (all 5) again.....coz it is such a great documentary....thanks so much for upload....especially i as german am and was involved with this part of the history.... it is a terrific awesome documentary which you posted....a great job... i by myself didn't saw it at tv....*****

All the best for your channel..and for you personally...;)).......Judie

[gfks11]

Cherie...thanx....wonderful post and very interesting infos my you!

I am an enenmy of all TOTAL systems....and such one is Communism....so much misery brought the WALL...and sooo many dies at the border....GDR had even penal law till a certain time.....Communism isn't practicable and besides a total form of a state....but on the other side I HATE ALSO EACH FORM OF FASCISM!!! I have jewish origins....beside ...TOO right is bad...too left also!!!

[ticos2010s]

Thank you mi friend, Augustus Aurelianus ...

[ticos2010s]

Long live true democracy and republic !!!

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45, why in hell did the USSR failed if they had it all and nothing to envy from us Kapitalists.

Have everyone noticed that the governments seeking the new socialist uproar are the ones that have always fail in similar conditions of wealth but with bad or wrong political managements ...

The common people seeking these governments are nothing but true loosers that need others to give them what they cannot achieve for themselves ...

[LatinAmerican2010]

@ticos2010s Thanks dear friend, for your input, with which I fully concur.

[herchisholm]

@ticos2010s I agree.... socialism is nothing more but the system for those who dont achieve anything and want the state to hand them everything by stealing from the hardworking and successful

[MrHistoryman45]

@ticos2010s The USSR was betrayed from within - inadequate leadership from people like Brezhnev, traitors like Gorbachev and Yeltsin. The common people are loosers? loosers for wanting luxuries - like basic food and medicine ?

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45 You may give us all excuses possible. But the truth, Socialism failed BIG TIME and whatever comes close to it, will also fail BIG TIME !!!.

That, is a fact, Jack!.

[MrHistoryman45]

@ticos2010s Every day that passes brings Marx's forecasts closer. Communism is far from dead but I think you know that. Or are you so sad you have nothing to do but comment on a 'failed' ideology?

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 I have no question that this horrific, dangerous, false, hypocritical political system is far from dead, because unfortunately Human Kind is composed week, ignorant and naive indivuals who may still believe in its false promises, as there are dangerous, corrupt, power hungry and deceitful people who will NOT hesitate to make whatever it takes, to pull every dirty trick, to lie, to seduce in order to grab power, and then kill torture, oppress, and kill millions to keep power...

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 You are confused the system that you describe based on greed, selfishness and ignorance is capitalism. It's lies and tricks are many but it often succeeds in persuading the poorest and most vulnerable in society to go against their own interests and support the staus quo.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 - there is no confusion! While I will admit the inherent proclivity of capitalism - WITHOUT strong socialist countermeasures designed to protect & provide services to the most vulnerable sectors of society - may often disenfranchise the lower classes & worsen the living conditions of the poor, BECAUSE THERE IS NO CENSURE within its Plural political system which ALLOWS freedom of speech, IT DIFFERS from Communism which manipulates the news, imposes ideology & oppresses mankind!

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 These sort of myths are annoying. Capitalism pretends to allow free speech although in fact most of the media are controlled by large companies (such as Murdoch's) who promote their own agenda, designed to take peoples minds over who actually rules them, so our rulers can get on with making money. This media does promote an ideology an ideology of free market capitalism that promotes an economic system that leaves millions in poverty and misery. Open your eyes.

[MrHistoryman45]

Communism represents the idea that all human beings have an equal right to share in the resources of the earth as opposed to the obscenity of capitalism where a greedy view can amass vast amounts while others starve to death. That is why despite 1989-91 communism remains strong and will get stronger - but LatinAmerican 2010 knows that otherwise I expect he wouldn't spend time uploading this drivel.

[MrGrumpybugger]

@MrHistoryman45 Communism in practice also represents that some are more equal than others! Communism is dead and no ammount of fantasy from mongs like you will change that. Get a life and get a job....stop poncing from the state!

[MrHistoryman45]

@MrGrumpybugger Having seen you channel and some of your odd views, you can be assured I will treat your views with the respect they deserve.

[MrGrumpybugger]

@MrHistoryman45 I spent the best part of my service carreer defending us against communism! The cold war is over and the ex soviet union lies testament to how pathetic communism was!

[MrHistoryman45]

@MrGrumpybugger The ex-Soviet Union as it stands today having been raped by the forces of unchecked capitalism is the best advert for communism I can think of. I don't want to disillusion you but you didn't defend me against communism, though you may well have defended the rich and powerful in this country and their American rulers from communism. As for it being dead - it'll never die while greed (ie capitalism) still exists.

[MrGrumpybugger]

@MrHistoryman45 So seems like people like you, true socialists that you are wnat to force your will on thise who hate communism! Good old Stalin is alive in your minds!

[MrHistoryman45]

@MrGrumpybugger Why not, I've had capitalism forced on me for my lifetime. I look forward to the day when working people turn the tables.

[MrGrumpybugger]

@MrHistoryman45 YOu have had nothing forced on you old chap, you can go to Cuba and live your fantasy and when your loved ones are ill, beg the capitalist states for help!

[MrHistoryman45]

@MrGrumpybugger You are obviously not aware Cuba has one of the best health care systems in the world. It trains doctors and nurses from many others nations, including poor kids from the US who can not afford US university fees.

[MrGrumpybugger]

@MrHistoryman45 What a load of tosh! I went to Cuba 18 months ago and the barman in my hotel was an ENT consultant and not practising, he earned more working the bar in the hotel! Thats what the evil oligarchy in Ciba reduce their people to!

[MrHistoryman45]

@MrGrumpybugger Sorry its not tosh much as you might like - its fact.

[MrGrumpybugger]

@MrHistoryman45 Tosh!!!

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 The "so-called Communist states" as they have existed in the 20th century (I will not even address the NEO-AUSCHWITZ STATE of North Korea), constituted a HYPOCRITICAL LIE for they represented a NAZI State with officially stated "lofty goals", which however, in practice, enslaved, censured, spied, coerced, blackmailed, abused, deceived and RAPED (literally & otherwise) the victimized citizens of all the victimized states where this DECEPTIVE system was imposed

[MrGrumpybugger]

@MrHistoryman45 What tosh!

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45, why in hell did the USSR failed if they had it all and nothing to envy from us Kapitalists.

Have everyone noticed that the governments seeking the new socialist uproar are the ones that have always fail in similar conditions of wealth but with bad or wrong political managements ...

The common people seeking these governments are nothing but true loosers that need others to give them what they cannot achieve for themselves ...

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 While I could never in clear conscience claim that the capitalist economic system is fair or even adequate, it is the most efficient form, so far of getting goods available to all. Most importantly, the countries with capitalist economic system bear the ONLY POLITICAL SYSTEM which I could ever respect - PLURALISM within a multi-party, constitutional (preferably parliamentary) democracies.Because we, Humans, have so many horrific flaws, we must NEVER PERMIT ONE PARTY/ONE RULER.

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 I might be more moved by your defence of 'plural democracy' if you hadn't already told me you supported Operation Condor. Your idea of democracy is where anyone can believe what they like provided it comes within a range you find acceptable. Thousands of people starve to death every day because capitalism denies them the resources to live. I expect youre too busy mourning Stalin's 'victims' too worry about people dying NOW.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 Regarding your comment vis-s-vis "condor", I have only a brief comment to make: Extraordinary, desperate SITUATIONS (where a country is pending a VIOLENT & permanent Marxist-Leninist revolution require EQUALLY extraordinary, desperate situations (whereby the pluralistic, democratic system MUST be temporarily lifted in order to be preserved. Waste NO time attacking this tenet/view because there would have been NO WAY OUT otherwise. One must temporarily adopt one's enemy tactics.

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 The Nazis would have loved you.

[trainman1995]

@MrHistoryman45 the world is a shittie place and we can't completely fix these propblems... that is the false communist idea. seeing what your name is you are naive and don't know much about history.

[MrHistoryman45]

@trainman1995 The capitalists want you to believe that nothing can be changed so they can get on with enjoying their ill gotten gains. Its a question of opening your eyes and seeing a world where a tiny few have so much and so many have nothing. A world where countries like Iraq and Afghanistan are attacked to seize their natural resources. May be you should stick to trains you obviously know little about the world or its history.

[trainman1995]

@MrHistoryman45 you realliy remind me of the people who would deny the holocaust ever happened or that stalin never killed 20 to 70 million people under his rule. wars in the middle east have been going on forever and will go on forever. Afganistan was invaded by the soviets which were communist and didn't communism opress more people than capitalism....................­.oooohhhhh im right i can prove it. im not going to argue with a moron who has absoulutely no idea what he is taliking about.

[MrHistoryman45]

@trainman1995 Afghanistan: the people rose up and kicked out a corrupt monarch in the seventies. The new government sought to give women rights and drove out religious elders, landlords and other undesirables. Unfortunately they didn't dance to the CIA tune and the US spent billions encouraging Pathan religion fanatics to attack the gov. The USSR sent troops to try and support the gov and the US continued to fund terrorists. 9/11 was your pet terrorists coming home.

[trainman1995]

@MrHistoryman45 your now backing a terrorist regime and You just plainly showed me your a liying hippocrite who has just contridicted himself and also truly "and i emphasize this" truly do not have a clue what you are talking about. "your " history is so wrong that in it joesph stalin would be a human rights activist and gulags are resorts for the poor. you are not gooing to fool any of us with your nazi/communist propaganda and your warped sense of history.

[trainman1995]

@MrHistoryman45 oh and since communism is so good why don't you just move to north korea where you can mingle with your "comrades" and support a form of government thaat opresses peopel

[LatinAmerican2010]

@trainman1995 @MrHistoryman45 @ticos2010s - I would like to applaude the point made by our american friend trainman1995! In fact I have always asked myself this question. IF THIS HORRIBLE DESPIBABLE MONSTRUOSITY called Marxism-Leninism (a.k.a Communist - & most recently Bolivarian-ism) WHY ON EARTH these valiant socialists DO NOT PUT ACTIONS where their LOUD DECEPTIVE MOUTHS ARE? WHY don't THEY MOVE to sunny Pyongyang to help the revolution? Or at least to HAVANA? Because they're HYPOCRITES!

[LatinAmerican2010]

@trainman1995 @MrHistoryman45 @ticos2010s @avethomas - Furthemore, I recall that many years ago I used to be horrified by some of excesses of the Latin American military-such as Operation Condor-which this communist once asked me. In fact I used to be particularly against the Chilean excesses. NOW, that I see these monsters risiing up ready to bite thei venomous jaws everywhere such as VIPERS in Veneuzela, Bolivia & Nicaragua, in line with Chief Jailer in Cuba, i changed my mind & thank PINOCHET

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 Spoken like a true democrat - you admire a fascist who bombed the elected President in his palace, tortured opponents and turned the National football stadium into a concentration camp. I'd much rather have my heroes than yours!

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 - ijust to let you know, I have started admiring Pinochet only when the plague of your disgusting ideology started spreading through Venezuela & Bolivia, due to that disgusting H.Chavez, an ignorant hypocrite who lives in luxury & dominates the idiotic Morales of Bolivia. With the rise of your filthy communism again, I understood Pinochet who desinfected Chile from your kind. Now I know that one must emulate your facisct methods (fighting fire with fire) in order to destroy you.

[trainman1995]

@MrHistoryman45 give up historyman......you don't know what the hell you are talking about so why don't you go to north korea and live your communist buddies.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@trainman1995 - Yes! my good friend - That's precisely our point all along, this very question has already been formulated to this radical Marxist-Leninist... He claims that his purpose in the West is to "assist with our eventual transition into communism" - Thanks for commenting

[trainman1995]

@LatinAmerican2010 i deal with people like this all the time and they can't defend anything they say. them explaining there points is like the nazi explaining why jews are bad ....they make no sense.

[MrHistoryman45]

@trainman1995 No thanks I'll stay in the West and reclaim my own society for working people instead of leaving the thew capitalist thieves in possession of their booty. Sorry if my arguments are beyond you, obviously you have a one track mind.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 @trainman1995 @ticos2010s @odavid45 - No other type of person has MORE of a one track mind than ideologically dogmatic oppressors who advocate Marxism-Leninism. One track mind imposing one's views, one track-mind on means of production, one-track mind in intolerance, one-track mind in control of information (censorship) & people's live (spying/interfering) one-track mind in oppression (forbidding/harassing/intimida­ting), one-track mind in ABUSE of power & above-all IN HYPOCRISY

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 @trainman1995 @ticos2010s @odavid45 - as for your convenient decision of staying in the West to reclaim (STEAL) what belong to others, it exemplifies your (typically communist) HYPOCRISY - (do as I say but do not do as I do) You would not want to be a proletarian in the prison state of Cuba or in the Concentration Camp state of North Korea (because there you would be oppressed). You would rather be in a brand NEW Communist State to become one of the oppressors & share the loot.

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 You have an interesting definition of theft. Millions around the world lack basic resources because they have been stolen by a greedy few. In Britain for example Mrs Windsor, the woman who calls herself Queen has fabulous wealth. She has it because her ancestors were better thieves and murderers than the crooks around her who had to settle for lesser titles or be slaughtered. If you call reclaiming the proceeds of crime from people like that theft, I'll plead guilty.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 - I never negated the historical injustices and will never overlook the existence of injustice that should & could be remedied with land redistribution and much higher taxation to wealth & property. Yet, to make historical revisionism in callous & opportunistic way not only it is wrong (blaming current generations for abuses of ancestors but WORSE it is to rob everyone’s freedom because of idyllic socialism, stealing legitimate property to benefit MOSTLY Communist Party leaders

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 - The WORST of (many) hypocritical traits of Communism is the DISONESTY in announcing a classless society, stripping the upper classes property which is redistributed mostly to the corrupt, oppressive community party leaders who live in luxury - a FACT CONCEILED by the convenient CENSORSHIP. In essence there is only a REPLACEMENT of one Elite by another (conveniently hidden) & the replacement of a FREE SOCIETY with opportunity for merit BY a BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP with favoritism

[MrCarlosPanama]

@MrHistoryman45 ... I thought you were long gone. Idealists like you are so hard headed that even if you saw it in your own eyes you would still fight for the ridiculous communist agenda. It is an illusion that only illusionists crave on it. Please do us a big favor, just pack your sh*t and move on, get a decent job, if so; marry and have kids like your neighbors do.

[MrHistoryman45]

@MrCarlosPanama Thank you for your advice about how to manage my life especially as you know nothing about me. Having seen your channel and your narrow minded religious bigoted ideas forgive me that I don't propose to take it. There are none so blind they will not see, if you could put aside your American nationalist view of the world and see the world as it is, you'd see that is you and not I that sees illusions. I don't for one moment think you will be able to and I pity you.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 @MrCarlosPanama -It is YOU that should be PITIED - because you appear to be one of those VERY FEW naive (well intentioned) ideologically pure socialists whose archaic philosophy counts on human perfection. A system unable to generate anything short BUT ABUSE, EXPLOITATION, MISERY, INTIMIDATION, RAPE, TORTURE & ETHNIC CLEANSING, in a hypocritical system that has dogmatic, power hungry paupers steal property from legitimate owners to benefit themselves (and become the new rich).

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 The system you describe sounds to me like capitalism greedy and vicious. A system that generates wars to steal the wealth of other nations and keep small nations in line with the global super power. Where people are kidnapped from the streets to be tortured and imprisoned without trial.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 I shall not deny EITHER of the existence of an unfair global system, which however results from a historical process. Yet, those areas with most poverty are ruled by a ruthless corrupt elite which has REMAINED brutal regardless of the official system -monarchical, representative democracy or Marxist -as exemplified by African nations. If your dreamed global redistribution occurred today, it would replaced the wealthy westerners with an even smaller group of African billionaires

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 As for 'legitimate owners' contrary to the myths the capitalist media plugs no one is going to take property from the little people. The super rich are another matter. Apart from the fact no one needs Billions sitting in a bank most of them obtained their wealth from exploiting workers (capitalists) or inherited it from ancestors who stole it in war or obtained it by slavery. Then there are those like the bankers who are just dishonest criminals - yep we'll strip em bare!

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 I would never object to some truthful comments you have made, as I have never opposed some of the Marxist economic principles, as I shall always agree with the need of substantial, REAL land & economic reform that would provide significant redistribution to the billions of needy members of traditionally abused underclass. Yet, this should be done gradually, justly, without benefits to groups of leaders. Mostly I oppose Leninism- the rule by ONE party without checks & balances

[MrCarlosPanama]

@MrHistoryman45 ... Ohhhhh !!! having seen my channel gives you a whole scope of myself.

No wonder why most communists are such a bunch of illusionists and ... "liars".

You are not able to confront your own personal lifes for which case, need to crave on bizar believes in order to carry on with the weight of your scattered thoughts ...

[l00seg00tyh0les]

@MrHistoryman45 Even so, communism failed globally. Capitalism doesn't, the monetary system rules humans, and theres nothing we can do about it.

[MrHistoryman45]

@l00seg00tyh0les Capitalism hasn't failed? 36,000 thousand people die every day because they lack basic necessities of life yet the West throws away enough to feed everyone on earth. One woman dying every minute in child birth who could live if she had basic medical care? Millions unemployed and starving? Greedy incompetent dishonest bankers gambling billions away and then the bill is paid not by them but by ordinary people. If thats your idea of success I'll stick with socialist failure!

[l00seg00tyh0les]

@MrHistoryman45 if your going to counter my argument with people dieing, dont get me started on what communist governments did to its people. 100 million + die due to stalin, 50 million + die due to mao, so shut the fuck up. Capitalism kills people indirectly. Communism kills its OWN people directly. So once you have another communist revolution, you best be running to a republican country bitch

[trainman1995]

@MrHistoryman45 i guess im single minded now... No i'm pretty sure it's common sense. What helped crumple the Roman Empire...o h wait, you should know this being a historyman and all...................early forms of socialism....OMG need any more examples.

[MrHistoryman45]

@trainman1995 I would rather stay in the West and work to destroy this lousy class ridden society. I may not live to see the revolution but I can certainly help to light the fire that will destroy capitalism

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 @trainman1995 @ticos2010s @avethomas @fabianoasc

The pathetic, synic, hypocrite liar - MrHistoryman45 - claims that he would rather " would rather stay in the West & work to destroy this lousy class ridden society" YOU' RE A LIAR! You lack fiber to stand to your FILTHY MIX of conceiled NAZISM (embellished to look like paradise), but you know quite well you could not endure that horror, unless of you could be an upper commust party officials leaving off STOLEN GOODs from victims

[MrHistoryman45]

@LatinAmerican2010 The only people who live off stolen goods are capitalist exploiters. As for Nazism its you not I who admires Pinochet. I save my admiration for the millions of Communists from Germany, the USSR and dozens of other countries who gave their lives to destroy Nazism.

[joaquinveyron]

@LatinAmerican2010 8:22, "maneuvrable, fast, long-lasting and robust - The Trabant 601" Hahahah, brialliant!! In East Germany you had to wait for 12 years (!!) to get this "ultimate in motoring engineering", while we in the West only had Porsches, Ferraris, Merc's, BMW, Audis, Aston Martins ... also, this shitty Trabant polluted the environment much more than all BMW 7 series, Merc, Porsches could do together. Yes, YYYYYYiiiiippiieh-hooray to communism.

[skynsidhawaii]

@LatinAmerican2010 stolen goods?  But I like my ipod.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@skynsidhawaii @MrHistoryman45 - skynsidhawaii, in the event you are unfortunate to live in a country where the filthy communists (disguised Nazis) take over, EVEN your ipod might be confiscated, and then be assigned to the son or daugher of a Valiant Socialist Comrade, for "services rendered to the Party", provided the youngster involved is a member of the "Young Pioneers", who are ALWAYS READY to harass the other youth, since there is no real rule by law-given the absence of checks & balances

[skynsidhawaii]

@LatinAmerican2010 Steve Jobs and the Macintosh Empire will help protect me. Nah, kidding aside, even communism changes due to the trends of the world economy. Take china and the former USSR for example. Now, they are watered down versions of the envisions of Stalin and Mao had in mind. America won the cold war not by fighting, but in the idealism of capitalism and overall having a good lifestyle that people would rather have and emulate in their country.

[trainman1995]

@MrHistoryman45 and i will stay here in the west and fend offf commies . BETTER DEAD THAN RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. the east has a extremely higher poverty rate than the west and most of the east is communist and the west is captialist we live mch more comfortable lives than they do ..............oh wait just another evil terrible thing about capitalism. the facts are so apparent and that you think they are false baffles me.

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45, It sounds like you have nothing to loose. For sure,because you have not accomplished much in life.

I am sorry my friends for what I am about to say,this historian person drives anyone's thoughts into a ditch. Take your sorry ass and submerge into the deep ocean for the years you have left old man !. Easily spoken from someone that never has seen the cruelty of communism, living under the flag of a country that fought with guts and blood what this dumb ass glorifies.

[MrHistoryman45]

@ticos2010s And it sounds as if you are running out of arguments so you are having to revert to old fashioned abuse. Typical capitalist you believe in free speech as long as it falls within a range you consider acceptable. Perhaps I simply care about other people and don't work on the basis that as long as I'm OK and my country is OK who cares how many people in the third world suffer and die to maintain that.

[ticos2010s]

@MrHistoryman45 ... I do not argue political topics with your kind as there is nothing that may result out of it.

I do not have to use "old fashioned abuse". It is a fact that your species utilizes all types of lies and deception to accomplish your political agenda.

In order to talk about freedom of speech, you have to earn it and defend it as your elders did in your country ...

Yet, perhaps you have very good intentions about other people in need but ...

[MrHistoryman45]

@ticos2010s Free speech in my county as in many others was earned by the blood of the working class. Sadly in recent years it has become more and eroded as society is ever more tightly regulated often using the bogus war on terror as an excuse. The true purpose is to strength the hold on power by the capitalist classes.

[joaquinveyron]

No need to spread the "news". Everybody knows that communism is the bloodiest, most oppressive, most despotic ideology that only brought death, ecological and economic disasters where it reigned. No need to spread the "news" about communism. Planned economy is the epitomacy of idiocy. What is good about communism?? What problem did communism effectively solve in history?? Name me only ONE country where communism did not end up in a rotten shithole?

[ticos2010s]

@trainman1995 and @LatinAmerican2010,

No, the historian liar will never tarnish his delicate way of life what so ever ... Hell NO!!!

[skynsidhawaii]

@trainman1995 hey, he has other options: he can go to other places... like the USSR... oh wait a minute.

[MrHistoryman45]

If you are from Latin America you would do better to post a video dealing with Operation Condor and the mass murder of trade unionists, socialists and communists by US backed fascists.

[LatinAmerican2010]

@MrHistoryman45 I am a dual citizen, milord. (a "SouthAmerican" country and USA)

I have NO ISSUES with OPERATION CONDOR. ANY and ALL methods utlized to rid the region of SUBVERSIVE LENINIST AGENTS, is not only positive (in my view) but would be greatly WELCOME TODAY - to remove the bolivarian infection plaguing the region (A LA PINOCHET, I might add - LOL)

[adri1430]

Un verdadero clásico de Augustus y una de las mejores series de videos que he visto sobre el tema. Muchas gracias por el envío mi queridísimo amigo!

[MrCarlosPanama]

I do remember when you published these series a few months ago ...

Very emotional.

Thank you AA
