    Fascinating video!
    The Russian Civil War is generally understood - in the U.S. at least - to be a fight between the generically right vs left, but the conflicts involving the various agrarian socialist and anarchist factions against the Bolsheviks during the period illustrate how multifaceted things really were. And those episodes catch my interest the most! Awesome presentation!

      No, it's not like that, different bandit groups were called green, the purpose of which was robbery, they had no political ideas, no one equated peasant uprisings in Russia with the name green, green are ordinary bandits who robbed where there is an opportunity, usually individual villages, refugees, that is, those who could not protect themselves, became their victims.

      Great video! In fact the Greens were peasants or soldiers, who deserted both the Red and the White army and hided themselves mostly in the forests, therefore they were called "The Greens". They had more in common with the Black army of Anarchists, such as Nestor Makhno and mostly didn't attack him or even they join his forces, as his army was mostly volunteerely, and their main revolt which they started was as against the politics of drafting to the Red or to the White army and huge amount of requisitions, especially surplus appropriation by the Red Army.

    This is very interesting. Usually accounts of russian civil war end with defeat of admiral Alexander Kolchak, or with Kronstand rebellion being last hurrah of the counter-revolution (one document even called fall of Kronstad as "the last flame of largest revolution of our time"). This is not unlike how French revolution ends in death of Robespierre, despite that it went on 5 years after it.

      Not only Japan. There was an invasion by England and France in the north, also Finland. Germany and Poland to the west. Japan and the United States in the east, as well as the Czechs. It's amazing how the Bolsheviks were able to cope with this. And it’s not clear why this is called a civil war. This is a foreign invasion and collaborators.

    • @CK-nh7sv
      @CK-nh7sv 3 роки тому +21

      @@ruthlesstruth8639 Well, the Bolsheviks were able to cope with it because the foreign invasions were fairly small and both the US and the UK lost interest rather quickly and left. Also: The invasion in the west by the germans ended in 1918 when the US and UK forced Germany to give back the territory to the Soviets, the Soviets didn't have to cope with that. Also: Poland didn't invade the Soviet Union but the Soviets tried to overrun Poland and possibly push further into a defenseless Germany but were stopped by the Poles at the Vistula. And I fail to see how it's not a Civil War if the main conflicts are between the Soviets and various Russian factions, most notably the Whites but also peasants.

      At that time the Soviets encouraged ordinary people to have arms (though they were of low quality or even home-made while the police had modern ones) and proceed to summary executions. Stalin had them controlled only in 1936. But even then the permit was easily granted if the guy was clearly a red as trained with other reds.

    This is so heart breaking. It is so disconcerting that there are people who sincerely adhere to Marxist-lenist ideology. Even after time and after time it only created authoritarianism, human rights abuse, and bureaucratic nightmares. But what is so frustrating for me is that many people associate socialism with the totalitarianism of the ussr. the average democratic socialist, libertarian communist or anarchists beliefs are so far removed from the authoritarian state socialist nations. Personally as an anarchist I despise these people because historically marxistleninists, stalinists, communist party members, authoritarian socialists, tankies or whatever you want to call them, murdered and betrayed anarchists and libertarian socialists. Don't listen to these people. They down play the famines, the war crimes, the slavery, the rape and all the tyranny of the ussr, China, the dprk, and so on. These people don't want communism or socialism they want to replace the existing state with their own authoritarian state.

      @@dgsf9444 well historically there have a been a couple different ways. But assuming we are referring to anarchism here and not libertarian marxism there are a few main characteristics. So some sort of council communism or what has worked for rojava is democratic confederalism or even something similar to the zapatistas in southern Mexico. This would mean that there would be councils that with representatives. Now this would not be like the us representatives system. They would be made up of actual worker and citizens and different from the soviets or marxistleninist states in that its not filled with elite party oligarchs. Its not a permanent job and they can be taken out right away if they do anything wrong. Outside of these councils everyone would be able to vote on any issue. But assuming many of the day to work would be boring the councils could operate on their own. And depending on the size of the area a lot of these could be used or we could also a federalist system with a bigger council. Again importantly these arent politicians they dont get relected, they dont have titles like senator or whatever. Everyone could participate if they wanted and for the more bureaucratic day to day the councils could function. But we already know this has and does work.

Only to introduce work hour vouchers to exchange for goods. Which is essentially money, in a really primitive form (and devalues highly specialized jobs work, while paying the street sweeper the same).
      Sometimes they were generous, and didn't force peasants into collectives. But that doesn't make their "system" great.
