Washington University political officials shut down Gulag Memorial

[arkivx1]

crazy thing is this is what the #OWS people want to happen.

[squamish4244]

The responsibility for the horrors of the Gulag in the Soviet Union rests on the shoulders of Joseph Stalin and his reign of terror much more than it does on any inherent flaws in socialism itself.

[flifishun]

What's really amusing is that we are nowhere near being a communist state, nor are we headed there, so the elaborate satire is an ironic fail. That is an irony the protesters unfortunately can't share with me.

[GikoSan]

How unexpected, the liberals don't get the joke!

[marchhare67]

As one of the "working people." Go live in a communist/socialist country and you'll be begging for America. People don't leave America to go to socialist countries, people in socialist countries clamour to get to America. Grow up you attention seeking idiots. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Stop apologizing to every inferior country on the map. All of them would love to own America. And, in a socialist country, you'd be in jail by now.

[TheZeonMovement1]

@marchhare67 im no liberal but FUCK the USA ha ha ha ha THE US is a shit

[squamish4244]

@marchhare67 There are no actual socialist countries anymore except Cuba and North Korea. Even China is a capitalist dictatorship now. Do your homework.

[man11withaplan]

Oh yes socialsim worked so good Soviet Union.... Oh wait. The Soivet Union does not exist anymore.

 Ha Ha HA. dumbasses

[LLCoolPass]

you don't get it

[Laursaurus]

This was a delicious satire! Amazing how many people didn't get it. Do you think this was to demonstrate how wonderful communism is? I think the administration understood, but could not tolerate the eyesore marring the pristine, picturesque campus. Barbed wire, 2x4's, loud nationalist music, and bloodied students in drab prison-like garb just ruins the elite, intellectual atmosphere.

It wasn't halted to silence the message. It just was too "icky" to look at. LOL

[anyusmoon1]

Oh Lord have mercy. These students demonstrating don't appear to be making a mockery of communism but are rather embracing it.

So... we're supposed to be socialism without fascism is acceptable and that fascism is the only ugly part of collectivist thinking.

Sheesh! It's hard to believe that real Americans would be demonstrating FOR socialism, but that's what the very corporate thugs 'they hate' want them to do.

[LLCoolPass]

you're not getting it!!! omg, wow........ they are trying to make people realize the problems with marx and communism

[762Fanatic2]

@anyusmoon1 They're not stupid, this was clearly a demonstration of the evils of communism. You're not the brightest bulb are you?

[anyusmoon1]

@762Fanatic2 Everyone makes mistakes. Presumably the dunce cap fits tightly and the comment shows me in the corner sufficiently.

[762Fanatic2]

@anyusmoon1 I just noticed who you are, lol, I used to be sub'd to you a longggg time ago

[anyusmoon1]

762Fanatic2 :-) We're never too old to admit when we're wrong. Hopefully! :-)

[KamikazeKoscki]

13 evil families control the world and even the Illuminati Universities all are structure to implement "Operation Ignore" not talking about the Rothschild, Collins, Rockerfellers ect and their evil deeds, and how they orchestrated ww1,ww2, and soon ww3.

[TheNinethClient]

I love seeing university Marxist administrators caught on video. This one will go viral, thanks veritasvisuals.

[TheSpanishxromancexx]

lol communists yelling power to the people :) xD russians actually kill waaaayy more than americans thats y i love em o_O some people think russians are leftists but fact is they're more right wing than america these days.... ultra-nationalism is on the rise

[Tomcat1957]

How ironic that none of the students bought into this satire, but we are as a nation buying into social health care and climate control.

[moski3]

WOW!! GREAT Statement!! And the brainwashed Obama following lemmings and Socialist loving/ Maoist/Communists college professors and Administrators just don't get it or don't want others to get it. Shhh. . . don't let the people understand what socialism/communism is all about.

I am amazed that the youngens behind this are so into exposing what the Dems are doing to our country! bravo. Keep it up!

[nhteaparty]

The kids making the display are CAPITALISTS who are mocking COMMUNISM because that's what we are heading to now. This is why they did not want them there.

[JihadKiller1s1k]

What a joke

LOL @ brainwashed college retards

[flexorder]

Hey man, why don't you get some of those sonar cannon, turn them on full blast and huff and puff and blow the gulag down.

[mjharris2407]

Some times you have to show the opposite of your point to get people to notice it. If you read their website they are clearly against all forms of socialism

[chriswhit1]

Winston Churchill once said, "If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain."

Wait until these kids have real jobs, real problems like choosing between oil for the engine or gas to make it run just to get to work. Or maybe their child joining a gang at 11 years old or maybe their daughter having sex at 13 with a 20 year old just to look cool, oh but then they can have an abortion paid by the "rich"

[jsrsch1979]

I do not think these kids were promoting communism since a Gulag with people imprisoned in it does not make a very good impression.

What was revealing however, were all those female administrators standing around trying to contact a man to come take care of the situation for them. When the guys do show up then the females are bold in their confrontation of the students...what a joke.

[louis12346]

Obama Says, They are not in Free Speech Zone Lock em up . Oh Great a Generation of Guitar Heroes

[Greg78X]

So you like communism...

[FriarTuck1961]

These are obviously Anarchist Communists.

They should be removed from our country immediately.

[toastertown6]

There is no such thing as "Anarchist Communist." Anarchists want no government and Communists want a lot of government. Also they did this to show where our country will go if we don't act now, they obviously support Capitalism.

[Isawanangel1X]

okay i get it the russian attire is where he thinks we're headed, he's trying to make a statement..hard to believe the "school employee" had this demonstration shut down,,interesting

[FriarTuck1961]

Anarchist Communism is a theory of anarchism which advocates the abolition of the state, private property, and capitalism in favor of common ownership of the means of production.

Go to Wiki and look it up.

This form of Communism was popular during the Spanish Civil War - ie Anarchist Catalonia.

[toastertown6]

Wow, i didn't know that the two could be combined, thank you for teaching me something new

[joshgina]

This is why you don't spoil your little brat ass kids!!! They don't appreciate what capitalism has done for them. Try this stunt in Cuba or Venezuela and see how nice the cops are to you. SELFISH LITTLE BRATS. Wake Up America you are losing your freedoms more and more each day!

[darlena1956]

Great video.. I'm impressed

[blogegog]

I'm kind of amazed that the university didn't think that this was real support for communism.

[stinky125]

Yoo doods should hire Steven Crowder...

LOLOLOLOLOL.....this stuff cracks me up

[MadBadVoodo]

I am just shocked that the administration did not bend over backward to embrace the communists and I thought for sure that the Soviet National Anthem would make them all nostalgic and giddy LOL!!

[MadBadVoodo]

LOL @ Abolish Private Property!! NEVER!!

Five Stars!!

[Organjic]

Crazies!!!

[fissure226]

I bet they bought that wood at Home Depot. ;)

[KarlUshanka]

a communist display on a communist campus. the administrators played right into your hands!

All that was missing was our Commie Obama hat!

[theYoungerMrsWarde]

I heard a great BF quote last night that I'll randomly share: " I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it."

Welfare and socialism/communism makes people dependent on the state to the point that it is more comfortable to be in their present circumstances than to risk, to try, to work for something better.

Just a thought.

[onvogmasaj]

one of my fave quotes

[darlena1956]

Look at what they want to do with healthcare. Jail time for not having it, and being fined and possibly jailed. The people and government have made people slaves to the system and the ones that were taking thought the governement cared. If they can jail you for not having health insurance because you are a burden because others have to pay then you are a burden if you are unemployed and take foodstamps, and get public housing and are old and cannot contribute and take social security checks

[EffieReal]

It really is amazing that the dude arguing with the actor didn't get that the actor was "acting". I wonder how many other students walking by actually misunderstood this to be a "pro-communist" demonstration. It's really sad that such a clever display is lost on most due to mass stupidity.

[burnsworks]

campus gulag

[jsh78mang]

Dear dumbass If you want I can give you the homepage this is anti communism group. Showing How socialism and Communism can go bad quickly. WAKE UP!

[EffieReal]

@jsh78mang I was saying exactly that! It is an ANTI COMMUNIST DEMONSTRATION and some people didn't get the intentional over-the-top ironic presentation/acting and believed they were pro-communist. How in the world did you fail to understand my comment so completely? I was lamenting the fact that students might have taking the actors at face-value and believed they were seriously pro-communist when it is obvious they are not. Your misunderstanding is similar to theirs, 'cept you were rude.

[jsh78mang]

Sorry effie

[EffieReal]

Hugs and stuff.

[hjgardner79]

This was genius! It really got under the skin of the liberal administrators!!

[squamish4244]

@hjgardner79 Nah kind of a cheesy stunt.  8400 views? Meh.

[pitbullmomma5]

Whoever came up with this idea is brilliant! I was wondering when we would start seeing some demonstrations with our College Campuses on the present march to Socialism. I cannot believe that all College aged people are Socialists and want to step in line. I am encouraged by your actions, it literally gave me chills! Please continue in your demonstration and keep Breitbart informed, we are watching and waiting to see what comes of this! Educate the cogs in the wheels on these campuses!

[mullensk8ter15]

Most of you including the people who commented on this video are undoubtedly idiots and will not understand the point of the event.

They are not Communists or Socialists advocating their policies. They are students AGAINST Socialism and representing it's dangers through their events actors and construction.

They are taking the piss guys, isn't it obvious? I even checked it online, they are Libertarians spreading the word about Socialism's hazards.

[burnsworks]

check out the campus gulag web site

[EncompassedRunner]

I though my alma mater went all PC, but this takes the cake...what a great learning opportunity that was on a very hot topic these days...hmmm, maybe that was the problem: truth.

[markwphillips]

great stuff guys...even better that out of the 20 people who have seen this so far, somebody seems clueless to your position.

[conspiracy777]

"if the people who work own the means of production ..."

Ummm ... this all sounds great on it's face, but have you EVER worked anywhere in your life that has a labor union?

This is bogus idealistic crap that has come down from some nut case.

"the people are going to own it".

Capitalist pigs ... hmmmm ...

yeah there has never been any corruption in a communist "people run" government. No political prisoners, and no martyrs.

WHO MADE YOU GO TO THAT SCHOOL???

It's not yours but you want to take it

[conspiracy777]

Sounds like you never had an education on what it means to have sovereign individual rights. I'm not going to be part of your CHATLE.

I've worked hard for what I have and I will give it freely and to whom I choose to give it.

Get a job.

[Michael7893]

Yea it's on the uhhhhhhhhh arts installation policy. Yea right and we have a anti bs policy mister administrator and it's listed under "I call bs admins." great video and keep up the protests.
