Lenin's Little Potatoes

[macdaddylorenzo]

Does anyone know the real name or lyrics or this song?

Thanks!

[letsallbepoor]

socialism SUCKS

[TheXand19]

We call potatoes tatties here in Scotland. So...Lenin's little tatties. Sounds much more adorable.

[UDSS]

Those kids were brainwashed by Stalin to believing they were like Lenin. Lenin never wanted mindless slaves, he saw the danger of the Stalinist bureaucracy. But he never imagined that Stalin would use his image to brainwash children.

A socialist state needs critical people, it cannot work win out healthy criticism and freedom of speech.

[BENNYSIEGEL90]

@UDSS

Ulyanov might have been a little more democratic but have you seen the fotage with him and his cat. Dude looks like a Bond villain. He was also very rude to everybody expect a selected few who won his respect. Also people don't understand that there was no opition of ruling a state like Russia softly after WW1.

[arka67]

just change Lenin with Obama , and makes more sense !!

[victorydayof91945]

Not a correct translation in the late

We pioneers are young Leninists. Our big dream is to live and to work like Lenin We are proud of our sunny land, cities, plains. And on the word "Homeland"...

This is a patriotic song and I think it's much more better those that they are sing today like 'Baby f*ck me...

Right???

[cirosuperiore]

i think they sing the same song to Obama

[chtovimenitebemojem]

why americans so hate Obama? I think he is a good president

[Akuisen]

I had. Russian speaker hear this, only the first line is about Lenin

[ftorresgamez]

"Barrack Hussein Obama, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm!"

Same thing. Different times.

[RECHOOSENONE]

transletion is the fake

for Lenin in first speech only

chorus song about love for his country

[stasisnu18]

cute class, i like to see how kids were those days, now all they do is fart and use bad languages towards the teachers and play with their ipods in the classroom, back in that time there was much more respect

[Quex01]

@stasisnu18 you don't like to experience on yourself, how that "discipline" was achieved, believe me

[a199215]

Ahahahahahahahaha. I dont know Russian, but there is no chance that this is rightly translated. Still, funny.

[ss90ss444]

@ORCZORR

Yes. Stalin was the one who created the Lenin cult. Perhaps Mr.Stalin respected his mentor the same way disciples respected Jesus.

Trotsky was more realist but it seems even Trotsky considered Lenin to be some sort of a mentor.

[ahmed337799]

@ss90ss444

"Trotsky was more realist"

Didn't Trotsky call for world wide revolution while Stalin called for socialism in country. Because if im right about that, then Trotsky is far more realist.

[ss90ss444]

Lenin is our superman? WOW who wrote those lyrics? Stalin?

[TommyBloxxer]

probally. superman, little potatoes. i do know stalin was a pedophile. but he doesnt need to reflect that fact on lenin.

[ankaloin]

those kids are what the world's population are right now

[tofusquare]

what?!

[enjoylifedude]

Mmm Mmm Mmm... Barack Hussien Obama

[SkinsAquilani]

Viva il Fascismo!

W Fascism!

[TVrawks301]

Dangit! I don't support Communism, but the song sound pretty - I wanted to hear it finished!

[bramotif]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[workergirls]

Capitalism and nationalism are two sides of the same barbarian coin...

Workers of the world unite against the money grabbing politicians...

Long live great communism !!!

Death to fascist and capitalist corruptions !!!

[VonStierlitz]

Hmm... I smell "social justice",

"equality","progressive thinking" and whole lot of "spreading the wealth" here.

Someone is cooking the same shit again...

[jimbabb]

Obama youth!

[patreko1]

Definitely. Partisan debates aside, anyone who doesn't see the parallels between this and current (multiple) videos of school children singing praises to Pres. Obama needs to take a closer look at it.

[Reazzurro90]

He sure does!

Because Lenin's little potatoes would crush the Obama Youth in a competition.

[Reghedable]

Lenin would have been appalled to see himself being deified like this; he hated all forms of idolotry, as he himself was an Atheist and a skeptic of such moral brainwashing.

[tristan896]

agreed, this is simply stalinism.

[ArmyMPsoldier]

Eww, all the boys are saying it, thats kinda gay. They want to be like Lenin? they want to be a dead corpse in a mausoleum rotting away? Ok, whatever gets them through the day i guess

[JustAManInAMask]

Rotting away? He looks better now than he did the day of his death.

[enjoylifedude]

you are a very stupid person. to think that communism has destroyed countries..

[sportsnut712001]

Lol! ) But there s nothing with "Lenin" to do! But with the Homeland!! )))

[sportsnut712001]

The translation has nothing to do with the Russian text. ))

[limitles]

WTF .... nice translation you stupid idiot! You want to insult someone... look in the mirror and go to town!

[MegaFpm]

Буржуев в унитаз!

[4CaHeK]

wrong translate, idiotism

[MbIKbITA]

stupid translate

[scriabinetude]

Was there some kind of lesbian thing going on in Soviet Russia? This looks like a Suburu commercial.

[BlindandGore]

☭★What more do you expect?

[Thx1138d]

I think I am going to puke!

[wonderbread93]

REAL LYRICS:

we're pioneers, younglings of Lenin,

to live and work in Lenin's way

is our big dream.

we kids are proud of our sunny homeland,

of cities, fields of ours,

and hearing the word Fatherland, ...

[UDSS]

Stalin made Lenin into a god. He was no god he was revolutionairy leader who was against religion like Karl Marx. Those poor girls were rised with the ideal that Lenin was god for the Soviet Union.

[LadyEmilyElizabeth]

They're adorable, and I love the song! We are all Lenin's potatoes XD

[clover002]

I'm sorry, but the translation of the song is not correct. The first two lines of the girl are right, but the song is not being sung about Lenin. It is about the Soviet Union. I don't want to think that people gain a bad impression of the Soviet Union because of this video (Although, I am not defending Lenin at all! - read some history books and then decide how you feel. No one has to make a video with incorrect subtitles to make others not like Lenin.)

[kazpmk]

My friend I am from Western Europe and it was very common to mock videos like that. We couldn't even verify if the translation were wrong or correct.

[guffaa88]

this is absolute bullshit, the kids singing at the end are not saying wut the subtitles are saying. They are singing aobut how proud they are about the fields and sky... etc. of the soviet union

[resister123]

Absolutely  RIGHT !!!

[Randen111]

Where is this clip from?

[udxassag]

What a chip ugly fake :(

[b5kalad]

Then it is Lenin. Today it is Obama.

[Erech01]

Lenin lead a revolution against te corrupt and vileness of Russia, Obama won a presidency, theres a big difference between the two.

[b5kalad]

If you only knew the real Obama. You will think Bush as a church boy.

Obama and his people fixed the election (both the general against McCain and the primaries against Hillary Clinton).

Plus the socialist media in the USA now admit they wanted Obama to win.

[Erech01]

yah, obama rigged the election............crazy conspiracy theorist.

[missjulielogan]

Google Obama Public Allies Youth Group

[aoeaoae]

here's what they are singing, word for word:

we're pioneers, younglings of Lenin,

to live and work in Lenin's way

is our big dream.

we kids are proud of our sunny homeland,

of cities, fields of ours,

and hearing the word Fatherland, ...

NO POTATOES.

whoever made this video is a LYING PRICK.

[NewsFromIslam]

dont lie, i know Russian, they sing that they little "Kartoshka" of frekazoid lenin (may the god erase his name)

[aoeaoae]

"they sing that they little "Kartoshka" "

no they not.

YOU DONT LIE

YOU LIAR

no "kartoshka" in this song.

My translation is RIGHT.

Be damned for your LIES.

[aoeaoae]

my pionery, junye lenincy!

po-leninski zhit' i trudit'sja -

nasha bol'shaja mechta.

my rebjata

gordimsja nashim solnechnym kraem

gorodami poljami rodnymi,

i pri slove Otchizna ...

NO "kartoshka".

No potatoes.

[NewsFromIslam]

YES Kartoshka/Kakashka

[Ayrleig]

Google: Cloward-Piven Strategy

[PeterHaroldErikson]

Don't they look cute, with their nice Hope-T-shirts...oh, wait that's the OTHER Obama video.

[themrintellectual]

wow. now we have kids basically doing the same thing for Obama.

[lenaniska]

wot a idiocy, EITHER SOCIALISM NOR COMMUNISM EVER WAS IN USSR

It was just state capitalism

[soakchips]

not quite. capitalism would mean the means of production were privately owned. it was a politically deformed workers state.. much like napoleon's empire was a deformed capitalist republic

[blue222blue]

And why? Because the dictatorship of the proletariat became permanent, as it always does in every commmunist country. That is a fatal flaw of Marxism.

Capitalism harnesses the natural human desire for individual success and progress. Marxism, a creed was devised by and is only popular with elitists, denies this law of Nature and therefore never lasts.

[clawzcobain]

capitalism turns you into little robots made to produce, produce, produce and feed money to the government.

capitalism is why the world is in a recession right now! soon to become a depression.

long live capitalism!!!! /sarcasm.

[blue222blue]

In capitalist countries citizens keep far, far more of their money from the government than in communist countries.

Capital markets are in crisis right now to the degree that governments have intervened, socialist style, in their economies.

Which communist countries now or ever have produced better standards of living for their people than capitalist countries?

[clawzcobain]

Communism is an excellent way to run a country, the only downside is that, in practice, it has become facism. Never has a country successfully run with a communist ideal. If this can be achieved, without turning into socialism or facism, then it will be far more successful than capitalism was with running a country.

[Erech01]

'Communism is an excellent way to run a country, the only downside is that, in practice, it has become facism'

i would say more imperealistic, fascists are racists, impearealism isnt.

[vinsklortho2008]

Fascists are often but not necessarily always racists. Most of the racism and anti-semitism came from Hitler.

You leftists throw around the smear fascist in the same meaningless manner that those rightists throw around communist.

[Erech01]

Fascism is based around the idea that violence is an should play a major role in politics, it was Nationalism which made the Nazi's racist but fascism which made Hitler do what he did, and yes, i completly agree, the word Fascist is throw around too often at people...usually because they dont know what it means, the same applies with communsit, 'rightists' just use it on anyone who is against wars or creating fairer taxes ect.

[GVD504A]

Yugoslavia from 1943 to 1980... Tito's years!!!...

[Erech01]

'Which communist countries now or ever have produced better standards of living for their people than capitalist countries? '

uba has a higher litracy rate than america, a healthcare system which looks after everyone, not just those with money and everybody is treat equally. Their standards of living may be low in comparison to us, but compared to what it as when it was Capitalist, its far better.

[blue222blue]

Why is communism unpopular everywhere with working class people, and only popular with academic elites and trust fund activists in the US and dictators in the rest of the world?

Marx and Engels were rich kids and so are their followers.

[clawzcobain]

Also, I know people who have lost hundreds and thousands of dollars of their retirement money because of this recession. And the government now has it. So if you're telling me that capitalist countries allow their citizens to keep far more of their money, I'd have to say that I'll believe you when they give all they've stolen back to those people!

[blue222blue]

Your friends/family lost money speculating in stocks, so the per capita income all the failed Marxist experiments of Latin America, SE Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe produced more wealth than Western Europe and America?

By the way, there is one other small problem with the track record of Lenin's great ideas in the 20th century: communist governments MURDERED 100,000,000 PEOPLE!

[Erech01]

'communist governments MURDERED 100,000,000 PEOPLE! '

That was Stalins russia, which was a sharp turn away from marxit ideals.

[ttanner99]

Yeah, we shouldn't judge communism based on what happened in real life. Let's focus on its ideals.

You chicken-shit commies are all the same. Always trying to avoid the embarassing truth that your greatest hope for a communist society ended in utter failure. If, as you imply, your ideals couldn't recover from the death of Lenin--ONE MAN--then they weren't all that realistic in the first place.

[cuitlahuac61]

there was a man, one of many actually, who tried to apply the socialist ideals in a peaceful and democratic manner, his name was Salvador Allende, former president of Chile and he was overthrown by a coup staged by a military dictator sponsored by the US: Augusto Pinochet. Can we in honest truth say that capitalism is a world wide succes especially in the third world countries? How many more years must these nations wait untill capitalism is successful for them?

[sweetpotos]

If Lenin had ever lived to see this he would have been furious.

[Ayrleig]

Yes, Obama is more like Mao.

[xCyanoticx]

Hah. How dare you speak free! or I mean type free! In the ground with you potatoe!

Read G Edward Griffin folks...

[jdred1]

the USA already has the antiChrist as President. Bush is satan desguised as a plain spoken Christian man from Texas.

[modlifeproductions]

You my friend, are a fucking idiot. How old are you? Obviously you weren't around to see the way the USSR treated the rest of Eatern Europe, and you are still in a bitch country that believes what the morons teach you in school. It is funny that your history books are different than those in the rest of world, now isn't it?

[modlifeproductions]

Sorry about that Ivan - I thought for sure someone from a FORMER Soviet country would have enough sense to not say something so stupid...I guess you are still listening to your potato farming great grandparents who liked having to get permission to buy a vacuum cleaner...

[modlifeproductions]

I srtongly disagree with a lot of US policy. I also am living in Lithuania right now and have a lot of experience speaking with people here about Soviet occupation. The CCCP was pure evil in practice. The theories all looked good on paper when Marx was alive 50 years before the CCCP came into existance.

[geo1671]

Seems to me,that there is alot of little potatoes in USA that suck up all the Presdunce Bush!t. Once in power, Lenin replaced all his Generals with Jews. The slaughter of 10 million Christians. Even today,the Jews hate Russia.Sad how the Jews suckered the young kids. Just look who controls Howdy Dody Bush Strings--Lenin's Jews in USA.

[Chrijz]

Brainwashed dumbasses in this video.

[ghost271]

how dare you say that

[Chrijz]

ghost271: "Without him [Lenin], our brains are empty", it couldn't be more clear :D

[ghost271]

Lenin is our god, comrade !

[GeneralEcho]

so what does it actually say?

[Antronic]

Oh my god this translation is completely wrong!

[Dmitry1989]

from 0:08, the translation is completely off. Fucking capitalist shit.
