(Part 2) Lenin: Revolutionary - Documentary

[cover821]

Russia in the old days :)

[usafreedomrights]

I love watching these videos

[TheIxtlan]

I am the last Romanov family living generation living in USA. :)

[BENNYSIEGEL90]

@TheIxtlan

Sure you are pal and I'm King Albert.

[joejedlicka]

@TheIxtlan I have heard of the Romanov breed of sheep, which originated in the Upper Volga region of Russia, and they were named after a town of the same name. Quite an interesting breed, I must say!

[TheIxtlan]

@joejedlicka today you find out more information very quickly by internet. Internet is such a nice tool for its fast and quick.

[stanbloobloobloobloo]

you clearly know very little about communism, Lenin did an incredible amount for an equal russia and openly told the bolsheviks, on his death bed not to allow stalin power. it was stalin who killed 93,000,000. And Marx had a far greater and more enlightened mind than your ideas you gained merely from capitalists in the media who benefit from a system which evidently from all the debt america, greece, ireland, and italy is in, is not working. WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

[RH00017]

Seriously? V. I. Lenin was one of the biggest murderers of all time. His system, Marxism-Leninism, was one of the most virulent ideologies ever purported, let alone actually followed.  Lenin suborned the brand of "Communism" so that HIS BRAND of Marxism was THE ONLY ONE to be transposed to other cultural settings. The results: 93,000,000 dead people in just over 70 years. F-. Marxism sucks anyways. You can't plan fun. Sorry, discussion leaders. Fun is spontaneous. Live free or die.

[Ezra1Jesus1Disciple]

Watch Obama become the worst tyrant in History, which will make Hitler's reign of terror a picnic. This is what God Almighty made known at PROPHECIES-dot-ORG. I know no one will believe me, or only a bare few, but history systematically repeats itself. But it will be the end of Evil. In the Year 2013 after the Pole shift, Obama will be the world leader and tyrant the world has never experienced before.

[Ezra1Jesus1Disciple]

The people will be weakened by the devastation of Nibiru/Planet X it will leave on the planet by it's passing, 2 billion in one day will perish, most especially those near coastlines, for the tidal waves will be humongous. Those few will grasp what I'm saying if they're not locked into the world system totally. A world famine will ensue, among that plagues and more. World Martial Law will take place by that year.

[Ezra1Jesus1Disciple]

Many people in the U.S will be sent to concentration camps which are already placed in many places of the U.S and more are currently underway and imported all the way from China. Many people will also be exported on trains and other transportation as prisoners. 'The Mark of The Beast' is none other than the Microchip. It will be the end for a vast many who will take it, for their will be extreme desperation.

[Ezra1Jesus1Disciple]

The waters will be poisoned (I don't remember what is the cause). People will be so thirsty they will drink the poison, knowing they will die, because they will be so thirsty. People will eat worms, insects and whatever they can find, because they will be so hungry. After the polar shift, their will be mass riots, looting, killing, butchering and Chaos, because of the passing, that this will take a duration of 3-6 months.

[Ezra1Jesus1Disciple]

After the social breakdown of society, peace will be declared by The Antichrist, who as The Lord God revealed, is Obama. He by then will be possessed by The Spirit of Lucifer. Satan incarnate. The Evil will be so great. Christians will be hunted down and many will be taken through death camps. Christians and those who oppose this world tyrant will be executed by Guillotines.

[Ezra1Jesus1Disciple]

By then China troops and Russian troops will already have (invaded) parachuted into the U.S. The World will be utterly different because of the passing of this Planet. (You can see the video clip of the anomalies taken 10 August 2011). For the first 3.6 years it will be extremely bad. The last half will be...as God revealed (literally) "Hell on Earth". There will be a Staged Luciferian Alien Invasion. Hope is in Jesus Christ. People will be forced to make a choice - God/Christ or Lucifer.

[Ezra1Jesus1Disciple]

The choice will be made final by the taking of The Mark of The Beast (The Implantable Chip) to the hand or forehead. Those who resist will be hunted like blood hounds and tortured, or executed. Those who die for Christ's cause in righteousness will be ushered into Eternal Glory.

[trifulquita15]

Lenin really mess up the things

ok, the workers were almost slaves in the Industrial Revolution, he should fight for more worker's rights then, reform capitalism instead of building the bloody communist dictatorship

[vladlleader]

@trifulquita15 you've been brainwashed my friend

[trifulquita15]

@vladlleader Are u sure marxists r not brainwashed? Richs are bad, poors are good, the dictatorship of the workers.... nice ideology

[hydromorphineIV]

@trifulquita15 i am working class and have been a socialist since i was in my teens but was not a outright communist until my early 20's. I have seen what power the owners exert over their workers first hand so i don't need anyone to tell me how much i hate the bourgeois.

[trifulquita15]

@hydromorphineIV you think its impossible to find rapists, murderers, bullys among the workers? Criminals are not limited to a certain social class. Workers and owners, all can be evil. The only good man of this sick world died 2011 yrs ago.

[leahkate19]

@trifulquita15 You should probably actually read some Marxist literature...to avoid such a pitifully informed attempt to sum up the complex ideology in the future.

[robharris38]

The American Historical Review, among the oldest and most prestigious academic journals in the United States, has condemned British academic, Robert Service’s biography of Trotsky, saying that it "fails to meet the basic standards of historical scholarship". The review has explicitly endorsed the critique of Service's book by David North, the chairman of both the Socialist Equality Party in the United States and the international editorial board of the World Socialist Web Site.

[70sclassicrock1]

lennin was just to conserned with the politics besides karl marx himself wanted the entier institution of the state to wither away the biggest point in communism or socialism is not to remake the state nor to take away money or resources from people to the contrary its aim is to get rid of all the capitalists and their whole crooked game

[silvermaniamania1]

all freemasonic bulshit! frech american communist revolutions!

[Virgjans12]

I believe if Stalin had been kicked out of the party, and someone better would have taken over the power, the entire history of europe and the soviet union would have been different. Stalin was an evil man. The SU would have been much more like a communism, and possibly still existing today, if a righteous communist would have taken power after Lenin died. The one thing Stalin did right, was industrializing the country in 10 years. Without that, WW2 would have been won by the germans.

[sreiter9206]

@Virgjans12 Trotsky would have been his replacement and would've been a fine leader.

[1Serval]

@sreiter9206 Trotsky a fine communist leader? The only reason Stalin didn't kill him too was because he agreed with everything stalin did.

[Stupideyez]

@1Serval He disagreed with Stalin. And Stalin did kill him, in Mexico when he was exiled.

[bloodup5555]

for your last 2 sentences i can disagree with that, Hitler would have made a stupid decision in another area if he took the soviet union (the agreement they had with the soviet union also helped them out in the beginning) so one way or another Hitler would have been squashed or at least his plan for world domination

[Virgjans12]

@bloodup5555 If Hitler had conquered Russia, they would have had all of Europe (except GB), and stretching to China. With Japan as an ally and China a backward and divided country at the time, they would have crushed them and the road for the Axis to most of the world would have been open. Without the USSR, the Allies wouldn't have won in a million years. Of the German Wehrmacht as of Jan 31 1945, 1,105,987 died at the eastern front. 157,523 died at the western front/Africa.

[camomilehottea]

Trotsky came from Canada, not America.

[johnnny777]

7:19 People don't want to fight. They want to be home with their loved ones. It's the bastards behind the curtains who like to play "Rome Total War" with real souls.

[vi2kasz]

In my opinion Lenin was a smart guy and he told before he died that Stalin must be romoved from communist party...but hell nooo Stalin becomes a leader. Stalin was the shit in my opinion He was a thief that wanted more and more power and his paranoia led people die in death camps. He even killed trotsky to stay in power. Fuck It!

[xmuneebx]

@vi2kasz Lenin appointed Stalin to central committee. Also he just disagreed with him did not want him removed. Trotsky was killed in Mexico in 1941 and there is no evidence to show that Stalin was behind his death.

[vi2kasz]

@xmuneebx i tell you evidence Stalin sent secret agent to mexico to kill Trotsky and his name was Ramón Mercader

[swfcocs1]

@xmuneebx Ramon Merceder admitted killing Trotsky on Stalins orders and served 20 years in a mexican jail.evidence of Stalins guilt also emerged upon the USSR`s collapse.

[melsm26]

@vi2kasz Yeah, he even asked on multiple occasions to be removed from power but the rest of the communist party voted he remained the leader. It was obviously some sort of trick.

[MayChild8]

@vi2kasz not thief, Hitler.

[usafreedomrights]

@vi2kasz Amen brother! Now, we need to get people their heads out of their asses thinking communism is a bad thing, instead they need to think it's good like any other movement system imo.

[JNathanK2011]

@usafreedomrights Well, the basic idea isn't bad, just as the basic ideas behind Christianity weren't bad. What people need to keep in mind, though, is that totalitarian structures aren't going to gain support through bad ideas and rhetoric.

[a199215]

Lenin's economic policies caused the famine of the 20s, a famine that could have been avoided. It forced people to cannibalism. His political system of one-party rule directly allowed Stalin to take power after him, as there was no separation of powers.. He banned any other political party after the voting for a Constituent Assembly returned a Social Revolutionary majority and a Bolshevik minority. He banned factions in his party, eventually becoming a dictator. Lenin has a lot to be blamed for.

[kenan6346]

@a199215 the Soviet Union was indeed doomed from the start, but the famine, for example, could be attributed to the legacy of WWI - Russia was in utter shambles after the war, and continuous unrest from 1917 to the early to mid 20s only resulted in the nation's poor start.

[a199215]

@kenan6346

The effects of WW1 unquestionably played an important role, however, the over requisition of grain by the Bolsheviks who had no knowledge of the needs of the peasants and farming (such as requisition of the seeds needed for next year's production or taking the whole grain of families leaving them with nothing to eat), together with the inefficiency of the distribution system of the Bolsheviks, had a direct impact on the famine.

[a199215]

@kenan6346

After all, the famine started after the war, and not during the war, suggesting that another factor triggered and caused the famine to take place, and that the war by itself is not a sufficient reason for the famine.

[hardrocker1998]

IM VERY SORRY VERY VERY SORRY

FOR NO KNOWING MORE AT THIS POINT ABOUT LENIN

i have reaserched into Che guevera and Sandanistas

but i do not know russian socialism well

did lenin ever kill poeple the way stalin did

and before you bash me for bieng retarded im 12 OKAY

[SanNicaragua]

Che guevara and sandinistas were nothing more than comunists murders.

Che guevara made executions in La Cabaña, and sandinistas made the red cristmas wich was a genocide of the miskitos tribe in Nicaragua.

[Eddyfromhell]

@SanNicaragua It helps a lot if you know which group of people che excuted in La Cabana.

[SanNicaragua]

Che killed everyone who was against castro goverment. In that case was,

simple peasants, antirevolutionary and people who worked for batistas goverment.

[Eddyfromhell]

@SanNicaragua Do you realize that batista was nothing more than a puppet for the United States right, during his rule 75% of Cubans were illiterate and most Cubans lived in slums. There was no need for Che to kill peasants, he was born in a rich and power Argentinian family.

[tomkingsbridge]

@Eddyfromhell And then Castro became a puppet for the Soviets. He managed to get out of that, though.

[tomkingsbridge]

@hardrocker1998 No. Lenin actually believed in the communist ideology and he truly believed he could make Russia a better place. It is true that he made a lot of mistakes, which caused the death of millions, but he wasn't nearly as bad as Stalin. Stalin loved himself; Lenin, I believe, loved Russia and his people. He was a revolutionary, often mistaken, but doubtless very intelligent. Stalin was a big, fat ugly man who was more concerned about staying in power, just like Mao.

[tomkingsbridge]

But, hey, that's my subjective opinion. However, when you compare Mao and Stalin you'll find many similarities, especially because Mao thought that some of Stalin's policies would work on China - I guess he forgot to do his homework on Soviet development; or as usual, he preferred to blame his little puppets. Anyway, you'll probably realise that there are still many people who look upon these two figures, even though they killed millions of their own. Weird folks, eh?

[60microphonemajesty]

@tomkingsbridge Although both men had similarities.Stalin wouldn't dare supply the scientists and key information for Mao to produce his own atomic weapon bc he knew Mao would make global mistakes and to think this was right before the kick off of the cold war.But you do have valid points.

[ugoodHomeBoy]

@tomkingsbridge

so true

[Finallythankyou]

7:02 land,(what?), peace?

[Vusi8]

aluta continua

[colombiano4420]

even communist hated stalin he was an animal . in the other hand lenin was an Intellectual he knew what revolution was

[CheFuser]

stalin finished what lenin started...there was no good in either

[colombiano4420]

@CheFuser no hables mierda brother

[malkin71able]

The russian army of world war one only lost major battles to the Germans (Tannenberg, Gorlice/Tarnow). The russians defeated the austrians and turks in almost every major engagement!!

[Trickishismael360]

@malkin71able But you know they came back because of the revolution.

[DamnControl2]

So it was a long struggle. from 1905 to 1917. Right?

[aspey99]

No, there was an attempted Revolution in 1905, which failed. In 1917 there were two Revolutions, one which ousted the Tsar, and another which brought the Bolsheviks into power. Although if you mean a long struggle for Revolution as opposed to a battle, then yes you are right.

[DamnControl2]

@aspey99 Yeah, I read that too... The bloody Sunday upto Kerensky...

[creatisthus]

@aspey99 You can't call that a 'revolution'. It's at most just a protest. Not to mention unarmed protest

[aspey99]

True, but it's just known as the 1905 Revolution. I'm not suggesting it actually was a Revolution because that would be stupid.

[yakooza]

1905 was simply a minor revolution in which many workers protested. The result was the guards opening fire on the squad and killing a few hundred.

The revolt ended quickly though and it wasn't until 1917 that a full scale revolution was revived.

[freedomwins1212]

@yakooza Interesting to watch the reforms at this point. Sergei Witte was brought back into the governmental decision-making process to help deal with the civil unrest from Bloody Sunday. He was appointed Chairman of the Council of Ministers, the equivalent of Prime Minister, in 1905. During the Russian Revolution of 1905, Witte advocated the creation of an elected parliament, the formation of a constitutional monarchy, and the establishment of a Bill of Rights. Of course failure.

[yakooza]

I am aware of that.

Nicholas II though stopped the reforms and abolished the Duma (parliament).

While Lenin and the Bolsheviks did make improvements over the Tsarist Russia, I wonder what would have happened if less radical figures were to take control and peruse a bourgeoisie democracy.

[NormanLowell]

Imperium Europa:

The Book that changed the world.

Amazon

[softstyler]

So while the people suffered on the road to the so called socialist utopia, Lenin and Trotsky were living it up in London, Zurich and New York, I wonder how they managed to afford that.

[vinavon]

all these revolutionaries who don't take up the challenge of changing a system from within but escape and capitalize on the frustration of people and lead people astray. It is easy to start a revolution.... there is always some frustration around. This revolution might also only mobilize few people (e.g. RAF-terrorists in Germany). It is much more difficult to fight for one's ideas within a system and not give up. This fight however is necessary as EVERY idea has to be improved.

[rmggautama]

Please read the book: Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Antony C. Sutton, published in 1974.

[silvermaniamania]

@rmggautama antony sutton is just idiot. conspiracy theory-based books are too simplistic; that is why so many morons so cling to it like a parasites. so many disinfo in conspiracy theories.

[upliftzippy]

is it just me or did Lenin and Trotsky, the two heroes of the 1917 revolution, have ridiculously large foreheads?

[TheDramaBomb]

They're hair fell out cuz leading a revolution is stressful?? Lol <3

[iRaTeYourVideoz]

lenin would've been just as bad as stalin was if he lived longer

[TravR1]

Lenin was an ignorent fool !

[Tim8336]

ingorant of what?

[alflex06]

He turned the course of the history for Russia and the whole world. What have you done?

[vinavon]

maybe he would have been better if he hadn't done that!!!!

[silvermaniamania]

@alflex06 what have you deon?XD

[Masthope]

Ah,the old "Lenin good, Stalin bad" argument. Simple slogans stay in simple people's minds.

[FilipH86]

only a simple mind like yourself would say what you just said, lot's of simple quotes have come from smart people.

[LatvianTelekinetic]

@FilipH86 ...because they wanted to be popular and maked "lowened" quates. easy.

[thecolin6]

Thanks for the upload, mate.

[MrRein1988]

Seeing what was back then... gives me a horrible feeling that this is our future... not the revolution part unfortunately..

Our great comrade Lenin, we might need you again :(

[June28July]

6:38-Aughh! Ears!

[KanameTousen]

Lenin's ideas were buried and who knows what would have happen if he got the amount of time Molotov did or Stalin did. your looking at things pretty one sided in the fact that the Japanese lost more troops then the Russians in the war that and the military tactics lead to alot of Japanese victories. showing you have an ineffective government to even take on 1910's japan. then again by assuming one self proclaimed Marxist is as good is like comparing two liberal people of different background

[fdoric6]

Soldarity Comrade. The pendulum swings our way,

The excuses of the apologists become more threadbare and infantile as the foundations upon which they stand crumble into dust.

We no longer need answer to their inane banalities--they must answer to us why they continue to defend a system of brutal despotism that has been exposed for even the blind and the ignorant to see.

Long live the international.

No God, No Country, No Master

One World, One Human Race

[KanameTousen]

hm nice

[moronchicken]

Well said, comrade.

[fdoric6]

Thanks comrade

[KenTelevision]

Remember the myth about how he's an army deserter. Obviously total BS.

[Pulsar205]

Some evil looking shots of Lenin. But really, he was just an angry wimp.

[KanameTousen]

and you know this how?

[Pulsar205]

From reading one of his biographies and looking at his face and his expressions.

There was no substance or character to the man; just spiel spiel speil of how to take everything away from those who had worked.

[KanameTousen]

who wrote this bio because some are rather biased against him there are some even against a man like George Washington. Lenin talked about equality which takes that from those who haven't had to work a day in their life (like Nicholas himself) and distributing among everyone who worked with there two feet and hands. and I really don't believe just signing shit all day and going to royal balls (like Nicholas) is that hard of work

[Pulsar205]

Well Nicholas had a very stressful time keeping Japan of his back. He carried the responsibility for the whole nation. Going to a ball in the name of peace and getting on with your neighbours is probably not a bad thing.

[KanameTousen]

It's not but did he ever have to fight for a position to work? had he ever had to live in a dilapidated house during his reign? did he ever feel that hunger(not literal metaphorical hunger) that his people felt to have things changed. dealing with Japan after they lost added on to the cause of the revolution.

[Pulsar205]

No, it wasn't his role in life to live starving like that. He was the leader, chosen to look after his people. You'd be no use. That some of them starved could partly have been their resentful outlook, but I don't thing these things are completely one sided.

Any defeat spurs civil unrest.

But Marx's ideas had been in the ether for nearly 60 years.

[KanameTousen]

Chosen by who? his family? what kind of leadership qualities can be passed down when you are only groomed to be a leader that MIGHT know what the people want? Lenin is a man who comes from the people and listens to them.

Marx's Ideas but where they Lenin's? you must remember Lenin was only in power for 5 years barely enough time to show change when you factor in the era of the Tzars before him and the years after with Alexey Rykov for 6 years Primer Molotov for 11 stalin for 31 years!

[imaserb]

Communism is the worst.

Strict right-wing conservatism must be put in play in Europe to stop this invasion of sub-human scum.

I don't want to share my wealth with a Muslim who kneels down all day and prays to his fake god, while I work.

[sgtlynx8622]

There was never a country with true comunism (not even russia)

[tolishel]

you are right, even in heaven will not be comunism.

[fredhubner]

Not really ... it's clear that if there's a heaven and hell ... heaven is ruled by an autocratic and insecure equalitarian type of leader ...

[Pulsar205]

Every one of them was communist, with the guys with the guns waiting in the wing to shoot the intellectuals first.

[athensentb]

"Strict right-wing conservatism must be put in play in Europe to stop this invasion of sub-human scum."

A strict right-wing government would be horrid and akin to fascism.

"I don't want to share my wealth with a Muslim who kneels down all day and prays to his fake god, while I work."

This "non-working communist" fallacy is easily disproved and has no place in an argument.

[bapyou]

Idiot.

[joejjohnston]

wow. you are a very simple person

[Nitocolus]

See? A lot of people say Communism's bad, but it's not. If you look at history and know what it really is, you'd see that it's the damned kings, and dictators, emperors too! Great leaders make countries, they are not born into them. If people are given a choice, a country will last longer. If they make a bad choice, the country might fall sooner then it would without choice. Nothing ever goes the way it should in a just world.

[ChongLi99]

Lenin's Legacy ill be in workers mind and hands forever.

Soon workers soon! We (workers of all world) deserves respect!

[Pulsar205]

Not again :(

[anshultrivedi69]

One of the greatest politician \ human beings to have ever walked this earth!

[Pearljamrulzzz]

@anshultrivedi69 fucking indian comi

[anshultrivedi69]

@Pearljamrulzzz - ohh ... seriously? you ignorant cunt ... i read your wall ... you are abused enough by other people for being a racist and stuff ... why don't you keep your semi-literate mouth shut ... about things you don't know ...

[Pearljamrulzzz]

@anshultrivedi69 lots of u here.running away frm ur third world contries to capitalist america.

[veridia]

America simply has more resources, that's why we are successful.

Move to a country with little or no resources like say countries in middle Africa, and you will know that resource deprivation leads to a poor economy.

[TheDutchGame]

@veridia But what would happen if the resources are depleted?

[NKA23]

Oh, don't be missled...most countries of Africa have HUGE amounts of resources...but they are too poor and too struggled by civil wars to make something out of it.

[silvermaniamania]

@NKA23 and they have low intelligence.

[Potts132]

@Pearljamrulzzz Its spelt "Commy"

[imgordonfreeman]

can someon please tell me what is this narrarator's accent called??

[njw3000]

This accent would definitely be described as "RP" - received pronounciation, it's known as. In other words, very posh English, a bit like how the Queen used to speak. Even she has been influenced by "estuary-speak", that splurge of Cock'er'ny that has spread across most of the southeast of England.

this is how EVERYONE on the BBC used to speak. These days northern and other accents are more common on the telly. Thank god.

[istayswhite]

prior to his death " lenins driver recalls" as they were driving through pertrograd ( st.petersburg ) lenin was looking out the window while driving and his driver over heard lenin say " what have i done ? " to himself.

[njw3000]

Hold on, Lenin was driving and yet his driver was sitting next to him?!

Yes, of course that's true, mate. I also heard that when Ronald Reagan was driving to his inauguration in 1981 after winning the election of 1980, he was heard to mutter, "boy, the American people are even more stupid than me!"

[istayswhite]

i dont know where he was sitting, thats from his drivers memoirs...but yeah, Im sure they all say something to them selves in the private

[laziofarid]

lol

[NickOLarse999]

then the driver replied "it's ok mate it's just you haven't put your seatbelt on properly"

[clayp72]

The Tzar killed with his right hand and Lenin killed with his left.

[hramirez69]

thanks a bunch!

[robertrulebirtannia]

lenin was 10,00000 times the man Stalin was

[bcnr33skyline187]

that's an understatement

[berkman123456]

yeah....especially seeing as I'd struggle even calling stalin a man. More of a monstor.

[KanameTousen]

how can that be the number he stated was OVER 9000!!!! j/k

[28Jochoa]

@robertrulebirtannia Stalin was no man, in order to be a man you need a heart and soul; stalin's were rotten.

[Bozzl420]

@28Jochoa nonexistant more like it lol

[Napoleontas]

well he was not a german spy but a jewish one

[IneptTroopr]

This documentary simplifies things far too much. Lenin wasn't some power-hungry opportunist that the video makes him out to be and the Revolutions weren't events that were controlled top down from some infallible party; they were controlled by the worker soviets, who allied with the Bolsheviks.

[silvermaniamania]

@IneptTroopr his method to power was opportunistic itself. he even compromised and distorted Marxism to justify his actions. modern revolution is always orchestrated by small group. the torch the fire and turn it into sea of fire.

[12valvepower1]

it repeats alot.. badly
