THE FAILED PROMISES OF COMMUNISM: This video was made in connection with the Revolutions of 1989 (also known as the Fall of Communism, the Collapse of Communism, the Revolutions of Eastern Europe and the Autumn of Nations) are the revolutions which overthrew Soviet-style communist states in Eastern-bloc European countries.
The events began in Poland, and continued in Hungary, East Germany, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Romania. Romania was the only Eastern-bloc country to overthrow its communist regime violently. The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 failed to stimulate major political changes in China, however powerful images of courageous defiance during that protest helped to spark a precipitation of events in other parts of the globe.
Albania and Yugoslavia abandoned communism between 1990 and 1991, the latter splitting into five successor states by 1992: Slovenia, Croatia, Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (comprising Serbia and Montenegro). The Soviet Union was dissolved by the end of 1991, resulting in Russia and 14 new nations that declared their independence from the Soviet Union: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The impact was felt in dozens of socialist countries. Socialism was abandoned in countries such as Cambodia, Ethiopia, and Mongolia. The collapse of communism led commentators to declare the end of Cold War.
The adoption of varying forms of market economy generally resulted in rising living standards in post-Communist States, together with side effects including the rise of business oligarchs in countries such as Russia, and disproportional social and economic development. Political reforms were varied; in many countries communist institutions were able to keep themselves in power, such as the People's Republic of China, while for other states various emerging political parties succeeded. Many communist and socialist organisations in the West turned their guiding principles over to social democracy. The European political landscape was drastically changed, with numerous Eastern Bloc countries joining NATO and stronger European economic and social integration entailed. Furthermore, continued economic reforms in the People's Republic of China also began the country's rise as a global economic powerhouse

  • gorbachov was a wise man but it seeme no one had listerned to him....

  • @RainCastle88 I will agree with you! Gorbachov was the most decent communits leader I know... This is the problem with your system... more than all others, the integrity & decency of the leader is crucial - due to the fact that you do not have opposition & checks/balances... If you get a tyrant as leader, you are stuck with tyranny... thanks for commenting

  • @LatinAmerican2010 u said it very rite ad welcom

  • Trouble is, even with Communism's clear failure, people are still wooed by government into accepting more control for greater security. The same as Communists did. Outcome will be the same. We'll be new serfs, living under tyranny if we don't wake up!

  • @XxChrisXx121 - while I am delighted with the fact you oppose that horrible, dangerous, oppressive and exceedingly deceptive ideology, I would like to caution you that it is far from dead. Not only there are chinese communists, playing a deceptive posture of friendly pro=business to get rich & powerful, in order to finance underground movements and cells accrss the world (especially in Latin America & Southeast Asia. Trust me when I tell you they are alive & well - PLOTTING = E.G. HUGO CHAVEZ
