The the heavy industry workers weren’t that much better of either. I’m reading about that now. Also under Stalin if you didnt get say a 1000 tractors a year out of your factory as the head of it you would be shot so the conditions were bad and the product was of bad quality too. I hate stalin
@@JohnLandau-h5g that's not what Lenin believed lmfao. He said that the building blocks of Capitalism was in small production bc of how it engenders capitalism so the class character of small producers is petit bourgeois but that they could be proletarianized through collectivized labor organizing and were valuable to the revolution but that it had to be led by the Proletariat due to it being the only class which was growing day by day. Feudalism was an outmoded Mode of Production and the building of Socialism could not be competed under feudal conditions and without Industrialized agriculture under Socialist planning so that what was societally necessary, not what was profitable, is what was produced.

It is far from ironic. The irony is that you fail to see the connection. Socialism emerged in Britain, Germany, France, as a direct response to the 19th Century industrial revolution.
@@stuartwray6175 I dont know but did the so called Fabian society harbor any ideas of the people returning from the cities to the land and agriculture i dont think this subject has never been discussed much,the sad part of all this is the Bolsheviki thought only they had the right to opinions and nobody else didnt just like the nazis or anybody who is selfish and so there is the answer ill sum up,only selfish people think they have rights to opinions others dont nothing to do with political opinions,this is true in religions too,religious fanatics think they own the rights to opinions religious moderates grant rights of opinions to others too...
@stuartwray6175 It's ironic because those people are usually the most ignorant to what socialism actually means. They don't realise that it involves increasing centralisation, giving the state more power over their lives, and eventually the inevitable creation of a totalitarian police state.
Doesn't that make them more qualified in spreading and talking about socialism since they know about the inherent flaws of the capitalists system as they were raised in a capitalists background ? They see how capitalism works at the front, therefore they should be able to point out its inherent unsustainability and therefore strongly advocate for an alternative.
The Communist regime gave working people far less rights than they had under the tsar. They were able to strike under the tsar, but strikes were strictly The workers were cruelly exploited in order to manufacture weapons and heavy industrial machinery/ Workers who did meet their assigned production quotas or their factory turned out defective equipment were accused of "wrecking" and deported to slave labor camps in Siberia. Few of the of these internal exiles suevived.
Trotsky was in exile in New York. And on his way back to Russia on a ship he was arrested and detained in Halifax but was released and the ship along with Trotsky was allowed to continue on . He never lived in Halifax and didn't leave from there. The stop in Halifax was not originally part of the itinerary.
"no hope for a better life" is the reason for revolution. i'm an american hotel owner living in southern oaxaca. the local people are stuck in an environment where there is no hope to get ahead. their entire income is not enough to pay for their existence. why? it's a communist system with the "haves" keeping their foot on the "have nots". go north to the usa and you have unlimited opportunity based on how bad you want it. being successful is not hopeless, it's where opportunity is based on a system that rewards being smart and ambitious.

Thanking all of those who took part in making such a realistic, fair and objective explanation to what really happened in Petrograd in February, October and November of 1917, and consequent events that followed the Revolution and continued until 1920-21. I am grateful to you for breaking all stereotypes and explaining that history can't be bad or good, and that we should learn to draw lessons in order to avoid mistakes in future.
"Despite the gulags and the deprivation, ‘actually-existing socialism’ wasn’t all that bad and even had some quite positive aspects" - this can say the only person that never lived in the USSR and doesn't know anything about its history. I was born in an ex-USSR country. I see how much damage did ‘actually-existing socialism’. Even 30 years after its collapse, there are still tragedies all over the place caused by the Soviet regime. Millions of people died! Millions of broken lives! Hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of ground are destroyed or became unusable! How dare you say that?!
you know nothing about socialism! millions of people died... :D this you puled out of your arse? or what... your mindset is a tragedy! your capitalism is a oppressing regime of the rich! millions die every day because of it! exploitation all over the place! fasism on the rise! yes its not that extreme but it is bad enough!
The Russian Revolution, i.e. the take-over by the terrorist Lenin and the Bolsheviks, was a disaster for Russia and the world. The ideology of killing 100 innocent people so as to not leave alive even one possible enemy of the regime was a recipe for endless massacres, horror after horror. That was the policy announced by Lenin. The security state run by the secret police was founded by Lenin and expanded to monstrous proportions by Stalin. The terrible mass killings by famine, the purges of the Great Terror, the constant paranoia and the cult of the boss (the Vozhd) all these were to create hell on earth. After Stalin, his henchman and killer in Moscow and Ukraine, Khrushchev, did denounce Stalin's rule, but never had a word of regret for the hundreds of thousands arrested and the tens of thousands killed when he carried out the annexation of Western Ukraine from Poland after the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939. He brought the world to the brink of destruction by his nuclear brinkmanship in 1962 after he sent tanks to crush Hungary in 1968. Brezhnev was no different, with his ending of the brief Prague spring in 1968. This was the great flowering of freedom in the world? And look at the other countries where the Communist gospel was exported - China, where Mao killed 30 million by famine in the Great Leap Forward and over a million in the Great Cultural Revolution. Or the crazed fanaticism of the genocidal Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Or the murderous Marxist Dergue In Ethiopia. Or Cuba's revolution which only drove boat people out of the country if they could escape, like the Vietnamese did in millions just to survive after the Communist take-over. Marxism-Leninism or Stalinist or Maoist doctrine all meant only one set of terrible things: mass death, failure, devastation, prison camps, and lies. Putin in Russia is the legitimate heir of the evil tradition, as a KGB man.
THEY THINK THAT IF IT MATTERS TO THEM: THE KILLING, TERRORISM, VIOLENCE, STEALLING, tyrany ! IF IT DOES NO MATTER TO AST WE WOULD BE RACIST , PREJIDIST, AND OFFEND THEM!
It turned out that countries did have to go through a capitalist phase that would increase production and raise the standard of living before a meaningful, genuine socialism could become possible. All of the countries that had Communist revolutions--Russia, China, Vietnam, Cuba--have been forced to legalize capitalism in order to grow their economies and generate some degree of prosperity, and raise their people's standard of living.
Startlingly accurate and insightful take on the Russian Revolution, with fascinating footage and mostly dead-on evaluation of the events. The central thesis, that it was a genuinely popular uprising with a genuinely revolutionary leadership, is effectively presented, and cuts through the oft-repeated distortion of October as a Bolshevik "coup."
Wow. Thank you for this amazing documentary. What really impressed me about it is that I did not feel any anti-russian or anti-communist bias during the whole lenght. Which sadly is almost always present in western-made media on any and every related subject. I've just watched another documentary on the history of Russia, which - albeit being pretty decent in general - for example was still dealing with the subject of the Cuban missile crisis without ever mentioning the US rockets in Turkey and just blatantly stating things like "KGB then started its campagin of consecutive attempts to influence and support certain political parties all over the globe" yet again without even mentioning that KGB wasn't the first and the only spy organization in the world at the time. I'm not saying that they should have overexplained everything of course, but I've definitely felt this very particular and subtle framing of facts where only questionable acts of one side are ever mentioned all while the equalle questionable acts of another side are being conveniently swept under a rag each and every time. In short, I am really glad to find an exception in your work. But, sadly, when it is not biased it is for some reason very hard to find and has much less views than the "more politically appropriate" works. Well, at least some people are still willing to learn from history instead of readjusting the facts to paint the particular picture for an umptieth time.
I too hope to learn stuff without being manipulated, its downright annoying to watch something you know is slanted and biased designed to sway your general opinion. A complete waste of time, then you get solid information like this film and the time flies by.
