like USA has ever helped the free world fight starvation, poverty and suffering

[SlamdogX]

this video is full of propaganda and scare tactics

[realityexpander2000]

This is USA of today, we have no true capitalism in the USA. We have State Nationalism, and all 10 planks of the communist manifesto in place and active for at least 50 years. Check out the ten planks of the communist manifesto, you will see we will have all ten in the federal government. We are COMMUNISTS. Socialism = Communism = Nazism = Aristocracy, same thing all of them. Control of the mass by the "elite" few.

[4ingP]

There really isn't much of a difference between the US and what was the USSR, when you get down to it.

who is Nikola Lenin?

Why do these ass hats in the media need to glorify capitalism or communism? America along with China are Mixed economy's and they work

[patrickthesaint]

7:20 They include China as a party of the USSR's empire!

[arzoyan]

Science and technology has been revolutionised in capitalist mode of production for monetary gain of a few, Capitlism has been historically progressive as far as it overthrew backward,archaic Feudal Order. Capitlism is world Market system of wage slavery of immense humanity for the abstract process of CAPITAL ACCUMULATION AND CONCENTRATION with destructive dehumanising consequence. Capitalism is a false limit to further progression of human civilisation.

[BeaveHolio]

@arzoyan

All those Americans living in inhumane conditions really awful no. Capitalism increases wealth for all involved in it. Technology is spread to all in capitalism through the producers own self interest and becomes wealthy the people get the benefit of the technology. Do you think that the producer should be forced to provide his products for free? That would be slavery and theft.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio c'mon everything your saying sounds good and thats why the country is the way it is the reality of it that dosent take place.....when yu are the wealthiest country in the world but have one of the greatest wealth disparities in the world obviously something worng...its easy to say yu can just start your own business but reality it all takes money and alot of it they give yu just enough to survive not every one has the luxury of starting a business especially in times like these

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

People are not barely surviving in America, look at other countries that have oppressive governments and not free markets and you will see how well they live. Capitalism has brought the most people out of poverty. Global Capitalism is the only way to end poverty. There are always loans and capital investors, you want to be handed a business without the hard work to make it also there are coops where the employees own the company same as communism you have the freedom to do this.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio coroporations are making record profits at the expense of the very people who got them to the point they're at now america is a sinking ship dont get me wrong i love the country and the values and oppurtiunities it stands for but the people running it rigged the system thanks largely to the almighty reagan who started the "trickle down" theory that killed the country

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

Corporation always make record profits that's how you know an economy is growing, but those statistics are never adjusted for inflation and are skewed. Your problem lies with the FED not corporations. Its quite dishonest to buy something and then tell the person that sold it to you that the money you just gave them was unfairly taken from them and that you now have a right to their money.

[arzoyan]

@BeaveHolio AMERICANS ARE IMMIGRANTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND THE ISSUES ARE GLOBAL,Market system is an impediment to use science,technology that is to say the fruit of human evolution to be used to take care of our common needs and well being. Capitalism in any modality is a destructive,dehumanising socioeconimic minority imposition for the private gain of the ruling elite, no wonder rich across the world are getting richer and the working class porrer and more misreable.

[BeaveHolio]

@arzoyan

Capitalism spreads wealth everywhere. People in India work in factories for little pay but that pay is still more than they used to make, capitalism has improved their situation. The same happened here in America and only until theses countries increase their wealth with capitalism they will be poor in comparison towards the rest of the world. Capitalism takes care of peoples needs just fine, it creates and spreads technology just fine.

[arzoyan]

@BeaveHolio The digusting decaying corpse of world capitalism (China,Russia,Cuba ) inclued is obvious for many,,the Genocide of native Americas,the Mecantile plundering,the enslavement of Africans,the world wars and wage slavery of immense humanity, the continuous destruction of our natural world, the increasing gap betwwen haves and have nots . You must be suffering from obesity in your cerebral brain.

[patsperfection]

@arzoyan some people are just clueless and repeat what they hear....they think money is equals happiness to all and turn a blind eye to the suffering and the continuing gap of wealth between rich and poor

[BeaveHolio]

@arzoyan

Slavery, Genocides, and Mercantile plundering have little to do with capitalism and much to due with government bureaucracy. Slavery is against capitalism since people have a right to property and everyone has the right to own themselves on cannot own property if one is a slave. Genocides are conducted by the military under orders of the government. Mercantilism is mercantilism not capitalism. It is in the tenure of Communism that people were subject to death for an ideology 100million

[arzoyan]

@BeaveHolio State Capitalist country such as China is doing great iexploiting its working class for the benefit of the WORLD CAPITALIST ELITE. Ask federal reserve. As for the naivity and utter ignorance of your world view , well its mas mind control for the interest of the criminal ruling elite.

[BeaveHolio]

@arzoyan

State capitalism isn't free market capitalism. The Chinese people have gotten wealthier as markets have been liberalized. The IMF even says that china will overtake America soon mostly due to the FED and Keynesian policies that promote consumption rather than production. This is of course due to the dollar being the world reserve currency. check it v=GTQnarzmTOc

[arzoyan]

@BeaveHolio Most of the mortgages in USA is owned by US government. Capitalism CORPORATE OR STATE IS THE MONOPLOISTIC DRIVE TO DOMINATE ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE/ECONOMY. you are one of many writting distorted views. Dollar is imposed by US MILLITARY FORCE. Its not reserve of anything and is fast becoming worthless currency to be replaced .

[GovernAmerica]

I like the film and find it useful. However, the main problem that I see with it is how rosy a picture it paints the United Nations. The supposed purpose of the UN as a "peacekeeping" organization is nonsense. Every place the UN ever operates, there is war, misery, and heartache. Furthermore, the UN is all about the global redistribution of wealth. Redistributing wealth? That is exactly what Marxism is all about. So to me, the United Nations does NOT represent the principles of a free society.

[Chainsawcannibal]

Well,another FAIL U.S propaganda film,the very fact that they compared Stalinism to Marxism only proves this.

The video failed to mention how under Communism as written by Marx,as it was supposed to be,that "All ownership is too the state",and the state is run by the people.

World domination?

HAHAHAHAHA,Oh my god,right because the Capitalist U.S has NEVER invaded another country and imposed its views right?

[TheBelldiver]

Dont you fools know, no matter what the system is called , most of the population serve as slaves for the wealthy.

Our Capitolistic society isn't free. You only keep enough of your earnings to buy a roof over your head. When you die you die. Your wealth is taxed again upon your death. Everything is taxed and retaxed here.

[BeaveHolio]

@TheBelldiver

You are not a slave to the wealthy. You do not have to work for others you can start your own business. If you do work for someone you do it voluntarily, no one is forcing you. You can even make employee owned co-ops. Do you suggest we all live in mansions and have yachts. Can you really only afford a roof over your head. Capitalism increases wealth for all, you have access to technology and products that improve your life, which is real wealth.

[nessesaryschoolthing]

They totally confused what Stalin did with what Marx would have. Lenin created a dictatorship of himself, which I am sure he had hoped to pass on to the people, to create Marx's "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" or in other words, a direct democracy. Stalin, however, chose to keep the dictatorship of one in place. The asshole was no better than Adolf Hitler, and I am glad he is dead, but Marxism is not Stalinism. These are two very different things.

[AntiKapitalista2]

FUCK CAPITALISM!!!

[AntiKapitalista2]

LONG LIVE COMMUNISM!!!!!!!!!!

[2010theraver]

communism sucks

[DontEatEggs666]

Governments will always fail and be replaced. They reflect the power of the few over the many for their own benefit.

Anarchism = Democracy

[BeaveHolio]

@DontEatEggs666

Democracy is the tyranny of the majority. The south had democracy and used it to keep slavery alive and create jim crow laws. The only rational system is where people have equal rights under the law and are not subject to the majority, and that these rights are protected by the government.

[THOMAZ1DNA]

Apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal

In 1917, the Virgin Mary appeared to three children - Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta - on the outskirts of their village, Fatima. Mary predicted and warned about World War II and the spread of Communism.

The Miracle of the Sun was witnessed by over 70,000 people. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church

[manoman0]

Communism is pure evil, threatening every single one of us on earth. It's pure evil inhuman, intolerant system of hate, promising you what can never be achieved (utopia). Only Children and Intellectuals fall for Communism.

[patsperfection]

@manoman0 children have a innocent purness about them that life hasnt taken yet and intellectuals well the name says it all their smart....so by your standards only idiots and miserable old people like capitalism? yea that sounds about right

[manoman0]

@patsperfection I should have said "young people". Children do have a great sense for property (THAT'S MINE!!) but they are also society's weakest to prey on.

[patsperfection]

@manoman0 i still fail to see the point though if the rich individuals in our country are recieving the benefits of socialism and redistribution of wealth why cant the buttom 90 percent get the same benefits of the communist/socialist policies....capitalism is obviously a failed economic policy just

[manoman0]

@patsperfection Redistribution ist not capitalism. If (rich) individuals receive benefits, you can be very sure that it's an indicator for "socialism". The question is: coercion or cooperation?

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

Your idea is that the poor have a right to another persons property through the use of force (the government), this is simply theft. You believe incorrectly that the rich have stolen something from the poor, but the poor engage in voluntary exchange and make the rich, rich. People exchange because it benefits them both according to their own interests otherwise they wouldn't do it. Capitalism with government intervention by the FED has failed, not free market capitalism.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio yea i guess it sounds good in theory but then again alot of other stupid things do the problem is it dosent translate into real life....when greed sets in the rules of "free market" change...so if every one is relatively equal in pay and the majority is satisfied but the person who sells basic necessaites decides that they want more so they raise the price of food water etc what is every one else supposed to do just starve? no your going to have to put up with it whether yu like it

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio or not and if that person makes it impossible for any one else to enter his market and sell the basics at a lower price then what are the people supposed to do...and yu cant blame the "feds" when the feds are run by the richest in the country so again the blame falls on those who set the laws that benefit themselves and their partners

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

What you are suggesting that if you make a product that is worse or more expensive to make that people should be forced to buy it. In capitalism people have the freedom to buy what they like. If you can't compete than you shouldn't be doing it, you assume you are to jump all the hard work and be handed someone elses money, and you complain about greed. The FED was given power by the government,government is the problem.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio stop saying i assume this and i assume that because i dont your putting flase i deas in my mouth i seen first hand what campitalism can do my parents came from another country with nothing work hard and build a successdul business from the ground they were never handed one penny YOU assume yu know too much.....yu keep on saying the feds and the government is the problem when the rules to the feds were being written the owners of major banks where at the table helping writing the

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio rules to make sure it benefits them the major bank owners and ceo's when they retire go into the government as cabinet members and the head of the treasuries to make sure they help benefit their former employers thats why aftr the major finacial break down not one person responsible got in trouble and even though the government voted against the bail out they got the money anyway....ever since 1980 the top 1% has been getting a larger and larger portion of the pie

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio so like i said the idea of capitalism is good but it dosent translate to real life yu cant just say people have the option to buy this and buy that and act like its that simple yu cant just say well we wont buy anything to teach the owners a lesson if you have mouths to feed theres more important things than money like i said more money dosent equate to better life for all thats why we have the poverty rate that we do thats why the top 1% controls 23 percent of all the wealth in the

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

You can buy from their competitors. People buy what they want and are not forced to buy what others make. Capitalism is not all about money you forget what that money buys and those things are true wealth because with empty shelves money is worthless. I don't see people struggling to survive even the poor have conveniences like cellphones and computers. What would you do with all the wealth at the top spread it around and destroy the companies that create the wealth.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio lol all your doing is repeating capitalism talking points obviously you have no response for any of the other points that were brought up i guess cellphones and computers paybills provide shelter and food for all the forclusers that happened thanks to the principles of capitalism huh.....if its so good why is the country heading the direction its been heading for the last 3 years? just answer that question and dont repeat not stupid welth bullshit

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

because its not really capitalism. The FED fuels the boom and bust cycle. The principles of capitalism doesn't tell you to give loans to people who can't pay them back that wouldn't benefit the capitalist. The same was true during Clinton when the FED expanded the dot com bubble which burst in Bushes term. All of these were fueled by low interest rates. v=LPZvKv7uljc v=6G3Qefbt0n4 v=5GoAGuTIbVY

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio yu still havent answered my question i been asking....and the feds werent the ones giving bad loans the banks where not everything is the feds fault any one who knows capitalism knows one of the major components is profit motive to go after as much money as possible and thats what they did but at the expense of everyone else you could keep turning a blind eye to it if you want too but the bottom line is the system isnt perfect no system is and people with blind faith like you

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

The consumer is also after the profit motive and intends to pay as little as possible to get as much as possible. Both people get what they want when they buy something one person gets the product and the other money, both parties agree to an exchange because both benefit. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was a GSE a government sponsored enterprise and was forced to make loans to people who could not pay them back in order to create home ownership for poor people but that backfired.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio will live and die by the failing system and right now your dying horribly....all you have to do is answer the question why is it failing right now

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

It's dying because its not free market capitalism, for free market capitalism you need sound money but that money is controlled by the FED and the FED has devalued the dollar. Government regulation impedes competition. Everything the government gets involved in becomes prohibitively expensive. You do not understand basic economics and how the market comes up with a price for a good or how it equilibrates. Communism is based upon the fallacious idea of the labor theory of value.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio there yu go again assuming that you understand my thought process and if you honestly think fannie mae and freddie mac gave loans because the government forced them too and they had no personal interest your delusional.....and i suppose the government forced the privatley owend rating companies to give triple a ratings to subprime loans also......and you continue to ignore the fact that the people setting the rules were once ceos and presidents of these companies

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio and the fact that two people could both agree on a price isnt capitalism its just common sense what happened to the capitalist system now is exactly whats wrong people like you that feel easy to put the blame on the government for everything is why were going down the path were heading down obviously too much govt isnt a good thing and people should be able to make their own choices but to blame the govt for wall street big oil companies big banks

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio they pursue as much profit as possible at the expense of everyone else.....if YOU understood basic economics then you would know supply and demand is the foundation so when the oil companies have excess supplies and increasingly lower demand thn the price would be going down but they continue to rise for more profit i suppose thats the govt fault also? no its what people are taught for blind idealogue caspitalism which is to go after as much money as possible

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio your delusional if you could honestly think capitalism by it self would work.....you made good points but its pointless trying to debate with someone whos stuck in their ways with out being open minded to any other solution individuals like you are the exact reason america will fail tryna run a 21st century economy with 20th century policies that in itself is asking for failure but your like a donkey so im done talking

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

Communism is a 20th century Idea that failed horribly, if its anyone who is delusional its you. I too am also done arguing.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio woah woah woah communism is a horrible system that failed for a reason capitalism is obviously way better i never said it was good not once in this debate

[krogmanm82]

@BeaveHolio I dont think you understand basic economics either. If you did, you would know that very few things the government gets involved in becomes more expensive. If you live in the Southern US, your insurance is subsidized by the federal government. If you disagree with me, then I encourage you to look into home, farm, and natural disaster insurance (flood, tornado, hurricane -- you pick).

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio country so i dont assume shit but when people barley have money to keep up their standard of living they cant just open a business and yu are talking about how capitalism provides money to poor countries that wouldnt other wise have it even though it isnt alot of money we cant call them poor because they wouldnt have any with out capitalism....so yu cant say that then compare our standard of living to theirs and "oppresive" governments and besides your acting like our government isnt

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

Money has always existed, money is just a place holder for the value of a product. All countries have had money before capitalism. Wealth is about the production of goods if you make inferior good or less goods then wealth and the countries standard of living is low.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio crazy oppresive it self....and at the end of the day if capitalism was as good as your saying it was then america wouldnt be in the state it is now we wouldnt of had such a major fincaial collapse a couple of years ago and we wouldnt be in threat of losing ou position as world number 1 power and we wouldnt of hepled the major banks....plus switzerland was doing fine as country then they adopted the system and a couple years later they collapsed also i dont thing its a coincindence

[BeaveHolio]

@patsperfection

The financial collapse has everything to do with the government giving a monopoly the monetary system to the FED, the fed then lowers interest rates or raises them arbitrarily. Its like a price control and this causes massive irrationality in the market as interest rates were at zero and all that money went into inflating the housing bubble.

[patsperfection]

@BeaveHolio that answers nothing i asked...and the collaspe of the finacial and housin market had nothing to do with the feds big banks gave out shity loans because rating companies gave subprime loans triple a loans to people who culdnt pay them back thats not the governtments fault thats private businesses pursuing capitalist ways and going for as much money as possible....but yu still didnt even answer the question im waiting though

[eric5335]

Whe SOME people call this 1952 American propaganda lies, they have to look at history and what actually happened AFTER 1952 until now. Was the information in this video based on the truth that we recognize today as fact? Yes or no?

okay , capitalism is not perfect , its for the sake of providence Sarezh , that you reside in a region of this planet that practises capitalism , that which affords you access to the internet , as opposed to being born in more impoverished regions. . .It needs improvement , not replacement , for its competition is the driving force of innovative inventiveness . . .Capitalism is culturally suitable , its why its failed miserably in so many IslamicRepublics

[Sarezh998]

This is not extremism, but realism based on what we have learned from history and experience of people's struggles taking place around the around the world every day. It is capitalism which is an extreme, violent and hostile human system, and there are those who defend this system that are the real extremists?

[Sarezh998]

We know from historical experience that such revolutions are met with a citizen armed to the teeth, people therefore have to be prepared to defend itself even with violence.

[Sarezh998]

We know that the bourgeoisie will not give up power voluntarily, on the contrary, they are interested in using all their available resources to maintain the system that they serve as rough on. We are convinced that it needed a comprehensive revolution that deprives them of power, so that working people can build their own society based on cooperation.

[Sarezh998]

Every second a child dies in the world of hunger (2006). This occurs even though (according to WHO) produced enough food to cover all their basic needs

[Sarezh998]

Capitalism is a system of organization of production and society. This system has built-in mechanisms that regularly leads to both large and small crises that throwing millions of people out of poverty and distress. According to United Nations dies more than 25,000 people from hunger every day, and more than 800 million people are chronically undernourished.

[Sarezh998]

The bourgeoisie has made use of all methods, from direct lie, the history of forgery, distortion of facts, conspiracy theories and so on to scare people away from the thoughts that it is entitled to organize themselves to destroy capitalism as a system. In many countries, Communists persecuted, arrested and even tortured or killed, and many places are Communist organization simply prohibited.

[Sarezh998]

We communists are often called "extremists" by our political opponents. But who is it that really are extremists?

As long as communism has existed as a political movement has communist organizations, parties and people have been called extremists by those in power.

[AcePilot101]

Lenin called socialism, "state capitalism". It turns out the state wasn't very good at producing goods and services. And after Lenin's death, Stalin came to power, killed Trotsky and then proceeded to murder over 20 million Soviet citizens.

And when Hitler betrayed their "non-aggression pact", Stalin's feelings were hurt.

[greenhell666]

when did china or russia invaded any country ?

[eddybaby167]

@greenhell666 Loads of countries. Russia/USSR invaded Finland 1939, Poland 1939 and then occupied the whole of Eastern Europe for 50 years. They inavded Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia 1962, used pilots in Korea, Invaded Afghansitan in 1980s and 2 bloody wars with Chechnya and invaded Georgia recently. China invaded South Korea and Tibet in 1950, India 1962 and Vietnam in 1979.

[greenhell666]

@eddybaby167

sources say Tibet has been part of China for centuries, google "michael parenti",

and China aided in the Indochina independence wars, so WTF would them invade Vietnam after it?

as for the 1939 parts, the whole world was at war mate

wiki "eastern bloc" things just aren't that simple

[eddybaby167]

@greenhell666 @greenhell666 It is clear you have some sort of political allegiance and are evidently biased. I don't really need to look at wiki as I have studied geopolitics and international relations at degree level and have written plenty of essays on this topic. "WTF would they invade vietnam after it" The answer is Cambodia and I suggest you use Wiki yourself to read about the Sino-Vietnamese war! Having been to Vietnam and the war museums I know a little about it.

[eddybaby167]

@greenhell666 2)Finland was not at war and I think they would have something to say about that. I think the people of Tibet may disagree with you also. As for the Eastern Bloc I understand the reasons why the USSR would want a buffer zone between them and the west but this does not justify 50 years of occupation against the will of these nations. Eastern Europe has suffered a legacy of political instability, poor economic situation, poor housing stock and terrible infrastructure thanks to USSR

[eddybaby167]

@greenhell666 3) Eastern Europe is only now getting over this legacy. having travelled through much of Eastern Europe and making many Polish friends they do not look on the occupation as good times. You asked what countries Russia and China has invaded and I've told you. You did not ask why they invaded.

[lovatolover8201992]

@greenhell666

wrong. the USSR invaded Poland in the beginning of WW2. google "Invasion of Poland". and China invaded Vietnam to "teach them a lesson". Pol Pot kicked out many Vietnamese settlers in Cambodia and that caused them to invade them. Pol Pot escaped by Helicopter to Thai territory. China was afraid that Thailand and the rest of SE asia would be next so they invaded them..

[trigger0704]

@greenhell666

poland, finland, hungary, the chech republic, bulgaria, romania, georgia, afghanistan, vietnam, korea, tibet.......this is only with military forces not ideology invasions with communism, but im sure you know all this watermelonhell666

slowly leading to communism...

[ritchboy1]

I think that you will never get a perfect government, if you ever do, capitalism and communism both work.

.

But since you will never get a perfect government, i think a disfunctional capitalism is much better than a disfunctional communism.

.

Capitalism dsn't work perfectly, because the guy that works at K-Mart gets minnimum wage doing 2 shifts 7$ an hour. While an attourney makes 200$ an hour.

.

But communism either, because EVERYONE has to be ready to make sacrifices for a greater good.

[dushbagage]

every one needs to read 1984 by george orwell. or whatch the movie on you tube, but reading the book first will help.

[dushbagage]

people say that comunism looks good on paper. i say so does capitalism. look at what has happened these past few years. the fact is,any form of government would work fine if it were not for greed,hate,and coruption that lies in the human heart. this is were the problem lies.if every one were honest and did unto others as they would like to be treated,we would not need any goverment at all.....but this is planet earth we are talking about.

[Kevinch1]

look at China. It still calls itself Communist, yet a significant portion of businesses and trade are privately owned. China is slowly turning into a Capitalist nation just like the other Communist nations that are still remaining. Yes all governments have the capability of being corrupt but out of all the possibilities, capitalism is the one that ultimately works best...supposing all nations get fair participation int he world market...

[DOCc83]

freedom is the other word for the tyranny of the capitalist corporations. no one should be afraid of communism except them.

[adam28227]

what about the 60 million russians killed by the communist government, Most of those people were not rich.

[DOCc83]

why not making it 6 billion.. who's gonna count now :D

either way, there was no real communism in practice so far, and most of the tries were just an excuse for dictatorship, i agree on that.

but a real communist ideal is something so great every man would welcome.

you should just try reading Marx, you have nothing to lose.

[adam28227]

no right to own property, religion banned, loss of freedom. the family unit destroyed. How is that good? Karl Marx himself was a staunch athiest/darwinist. Why don't you read about the real Karl Marx and you will see that he was a hateful, miserable human being.

[DOCc83]

in a world today, full of hate and stupidity, chocked in desire, you again attack something you don't know anything about, but blindly believing in pre-made prejudices. isn't it exactly the way romans treated Jesus?

[adam28227]

How dare you compare the reaction toward communism to the way Jesus was treated. You've probably never even read the Bible. Jesus preached liberty with moral resposibility, while your sick ideology teaches slaveryand servitude to the state. Tell me of one man in the communist system that was able to raise his family the way he pleased, and was able to work his way up the career ladder and be successful and have just the opprotunity to own his own business? the answer is NONE!

[DOCc83]

"Communism (lat: communis = "common") is a socioeconomic structure and political ideology that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, STATELESS society based on common ownership..." Wiki;

"32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common....." New Testament, Acts of the Apostles 4:32-37

and answer to your q: my father and everyone i know.

[tumadros]

Loss of freedom? Seriously? That's ignorance at it's best. Marx was against religion because he saw it brought out the worst in people. He saw Theocratic dictatorships. Karl Marx was not a miserable being. He was a brilliant sociologist.

[Kevinch1]

I've read Karl Marx and he had some good ideas...but there is no proper way to go about Communism from a capitalist society. I could see maybe to go from feudalism to communism would possibly work but to go from capitalism wouldnt work. so many people would have their standards of living greatly lowered so that everyone can be equal. for everyone to be equal, its impossible to have a comfortable living. Most of us even in the middle class would have to lower our standard of living.

[DOCc83]

that's not true. it's a wrong prejudice created in america. but i have lived in communism, and the middle class back then was at least 10 times richer than now ( not exaggerating ). you can count for yourself, if the money is shared within all working man they have much more then when 2% capitalists have same amount of money as the 98% of workers.

and if you have read marx, you wouldn't say that he has some good ideas, cause his work is actually more like rounding and explaining only one idea.

[pastrychef1985]

Hence the necessity for anybody with an academic interest to be full in exploring the avenues of the various trends after him, especially the Frankfurt School and even schools like the Soviet Cultural-Activity group (Vygotsky, Luria, Leontiev, Ilyenkov) going to Engestrom. I have read Marx and says he has some great ideas, shame that the Althusserian mindset has conquered common perceptions of economic determinism. The Manuscripts, German Ideology and even Capital are similar in humanism.

[Kevinch1]

government wouldnt be able to afford it any other way

5:45 isn't from Russia - it's from the 20 July trials in Nazi Germany... *facepalm*

The PRC is a "puppet government"? I don't think any thinking man ever actually thought that...

[kolosthedragon]

China is combinnig a free market with communism the best of both world

reply to this you greedy capitalist scum

[orknexus]

Reply to this yourself, murderous communist scum.

P.S. It is better to be greedy than to be a murderer. Or isn't it to you?

[guldknapp]

P.S. Or is it better to be both, like the US?

[kolosthedragon]

Go Communism, all hail MAO and CHINA

screw these propaganda, capitalism only brings poverty

[Feurstein]

China doesn't have communism, it's not a good example. China brings poverty. There is less poverty under capitalism atm as no country has yet achieved communism in it's actual definition.

[smutny]

Yeah go Mao! Killing milions of your people, destroying culture which lasted through milenia in a few decades, and turning you country into a death camp where everybody is a slave working for a bowl of rice is SO COOL!

[kolosthedragon]

mao saved china from the democratic taiwan, who lost, even with international support because they are corrupt bastards who pillaged/raped and killed people. MAo was compassianate to the villagers, so thats how his forces survived from being almost annihilated from every battle

[Kevinch1]

Mao destroyed their history and culture, and at the same time created myths about Chinese history to make them seem superior to other nations.

[orknexus]

Not exactly precise but still nice.

My country was one of those "other neighboring nations" of Finland, which were destroyed by Soviet Russia in 1940.

There is a long way to recovery yet.

I bet this film would piss off most of the modern day so called "Russian patriots". Under Putin it has become fashionable to self-identify with Soviets, to prise the Soviet "achievements" while shaking off any responsibility for the Soviet crimes.

The name of Lenin was, actually, Vladimir and not Nikolay.

[Feurstein]

Ye I was wondering why he'd said that as well.

[orknexus]

Ah. Interesting. See, this could be the explanation (wikipedia):

"He began using various aliases, finally settling upon "Lenin"—"N. Lenin" in full. (The Western press often called him "Nikolai Lenin" - perhaps on the mistaken assumption that N. stood for Nikolai - however, he was virtually never referred to by this name in Russia or the Soviet Union, and Lenin himself never used it as a pseudonym.)"

[IwillKillYourCereal]

don't fret USA, Stalin will be dead next year :D

that just leaves Khrushchev, who will be much nicer and cooperate through the cuban missile crisis

Al-Qaeda is not communism...

[annaamorozova]

eh one day, we'll get ya :)

we'll all be commies soon <33

[mediamadman747]

Al-Qaeda - "communism" for a new generation.

[dilbertgeg]

CONVENIENTLY leaving out MASSIVE American support for Nazis, and massive support of American press idolizing Hitler and for Nazis, incl editorials and quotes by Goebbels!

FDR had to fight American Nazis politically, even after Pearl Harbor, before he could wage a war in Europe which America entered in the 4th Quarter, long after Russia had 90% succeeded.

[randy95023]

U.S. Congress has a higher rate of incumbent re-election than the old Soviet Politboro. Our 2-party 'choices' for representation are actually fewer than the old Soviet Party's ever were. I'm a good patriotic American, but the observation puts a little perspective on our so called representative government..

[FNGLHR]

You know, it does show WHY communism took hold in Russia. It doesn't claim that the Czar any better then the communists. It sorta gives the communist system justification. And the facts about Stalin's regime were true. They went too far when they started to demonize it more then it was worth though.

Perhaps we need simple films like this today to flight the propaganda of the leftist elites.
