Me when I'm on the social democratic party council and I say that we should be more left wing instead of trying to appeal to centrist who doesn't have principles neither stand by anything.
Average social democrat experience sadly. In the end the state is made by the bourgeosie to fit their purposes, you can't sieze the ready made state machinery, you have to smash and and replace it with a proletarian state, otherwise you will either never get to power or to do so you will have to constantly compromise, eventually forgetting your principles just to win minor concessions and remain in power. In my country the greatest example of this is PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores) which slowly deviated right, from a broad coalition of syndicalist, trotskist and more moderate but still principled social democrats in the 80s to a neoliberal center party (tbf the actual party would still be social democratic or at least social liberal but whenever they get into the goverment the wing of it that does get in is always the right wing of the party, perhaps with the exception of Dilma but even her bent her knee to neoliberal austerity later in her presidency, which itself has been moving further and further to the right.) even the party that split from PT due to this right wing deviation (PSOL) has started moving to the right too.
Its about commodity production not what face capitalism has. I get China isnt actually socialist but you would be wise to remember what is actual liberation. Because its not fighting the hydra heads of capitalism, its the capitalist root.

The SS Guard how Stops him has an Mkb 42 h. This Gun was more or less an early Version of the Famous Stg44 or Mp44. Really Seldome to see one in a Movie.
These are seldom seen even in arms museums. A few turn up in the WW2 German newsreels. The few that were issued for field trials were mostly lost on the Russian front.
That caught my eye. Wondering what in the world is that guy holding? With that said, this is an East German film. The East German Barracks Police were issued the Stg44 as well as PPSH shortly after the war.
Anybody has information about the soldier who tells him to make himself ready? I mean, he looks scared and unwilling to participate in the whole thing.
The portrayal of the officer is based upon a tale from the end of the Second World War. The Red Army sent German Communists as negotiators and envoys over no man's land to convince German units to surrender. In one case, one such envoy managed to get the Wehrmacht to send to send a delegation to for negotiations and talks, and one particular German soldier was enthusiastic to volunteer. When asked why later, he explained that his father was warden at a prison where Thalmann was held. The latter found out about the family circumstances (they had all been conscripted into military service), and urged him to tell the son to cross over to the Soviet lines so that he would not die for Hitler's clearly already lost cause, and survive to help rebuild his country. The warden subsequently secretly became sympathetic to Thalmann. None of the prison officials would have participated in the execution of Thalmann, though, as Hitler personally had him sent to Buchenwald specifically to make executing and disposing of Thalmann more efficient.
It is interesting to note that both here and in a novel about the battle of Berlin, "Berlin, Finale" (1947) by Heinz Rein, the civil officers are shown in a sympathetic way - uniformed men who serve the Nazi regime unwillingly, supportive of opposing forces (all of which wasn't really historically accurate). The novel, like the film, was published in accordance with the GDR propaganda
@@AradSPYes it is. However some of them did indeed oppose the Nazi Regime, Stauffenberg, Rommel, etc. Btw, Rommel's son ended up being the mayor of his native village and was fondly remembered, he also made sure that the Rote Armee Fraktion members from his town could have a proper burial.
@@SenyorCapitàCollons Yes, many of them indeed opposed - but many others were supportive of the Nazis, especially among the police; not necessarily Nazis themselves but weren't against them either.

sgt 44 were only available to ss units, but combat units only and other high ranking ss bodygaurds to the furehr. this is a prison gaurd ss, not very important.
The people who killed Thälman where not prison guards (like the officer dressed in green), they were SS dispatched by Hitler. The execution took place in Buchenwald Concentration Camp, run by the SS, not in prison. So it actually makes sense that it is two SS soldiers with SS weapons who are responsible to pick him up.
well, why would a prison guard be armed with an assault automatic rifle which is obviously more appropriate in battlefiled conditions taking into its firepower and range? It would make more sense for the guards to be armed with MP-38, or, even better with a plain Mauser rifle with a bayonet. Shooting automatic weapon in confined premises, especially with thick concrete walls of prision, would be suicidal because of guaranteed ricochets.
@@sonomacalendar9949 explain why would a guard have a rifle in a confined space where he'll have to chamber another round and possibly get killed? With an automatic weapon in a small space he won't have to worry about multiple people attacking at once is what I'm saying. Hell Hitler himself ordered some of his guards to carry STG's
Second, he could have used rifle bayonet, because ANY firing , especially automatic, is dangerous indoors because of ricochets, which follow unpredictable trajectories Third, Telmann was executed in 1944, when modern assault rifles were more important on battlefields rather than arming prison guards who could be armed even with outdated ww1 rifles
I wonder how Ernst Thälmann would have reacted to the leaders of the KPD after 1945, after they tried to use the imperial colors (black, white and red) at first for the German Democratic Republic. Would Ernst Thälmann have supported the GDR, its bourgeois structures and top-down system? East Germany did not call itself ''socialist'' until 1967. Although Stalin supported Thälmann, it remains to be seen if the KPD leader had supported the regime that came after the war. This is a interesting question since Moscow tried to make the GDR look like a second Weimar Republic, with a state-president, a parliament and ministers. It all had to look bourgeois-democratic, but total control was to be in the hands of the Stalinist: Socialist Unity Party of Germany!
Probably would have been the last wakeup call, after having implemented the stalinisation of the KPD himself. It certainly would have been too late tho
@Troy S The dirty little secret is that both Romania and GDR (as well as other self proclaimed "socialist states" ) had a managerial ruling class controlling both politics and economy, where the State had taken over the role of the "enterpreneur" , functioning with the same input & output logic of capitalist economies. The working class had no representation inside self-managed councils and even the so called "socialist institutions" copied bourgeois power structures in functions and names. 1989 just destroyed their hypocritical veil and officially revealed the true nature of those "popular democracies". Funny thing is that today's stalinists defend the "Axis of Resistance" siding with their fascist buddies in initiatives and comitees, but at the same time they STILL go on with the old "nazi-trotskite" plot tier.
Just so we're all clear here... this post is part of recent effort Communists and Red Socialists to portray themselves as heroes. This film was, in fact, a DDR propaganda movies that was required viewing in all secondary schools up until the day the Honnecker government fell. At 1:05 ... 'A better Germany. A Germany without you.' All very true. It just took 40 more years than Thalmann thought. The DDR wasn't any better than the Reich or it's Soviet masters. In point of historical fact, Thalmann was part of the Spartacists Revolt that tried to overthrow the government of Germany [and did, in several areas], and the rise of fascism in Germany is a direct consequence of their efforts. Right wing nationalistic 'Freikorps' formed to fight the Reds in the streets and the NSDAP was the end result of that fight. Remember, boys and girls, fascism and Communism are **equally evil** and any opinion otherwise is delusional. History has judged both, and found them sorely lacking.
@@rmcewan10 Then let me clarify... The Spartacists Revolts of 1918-23, along with the Polish Bolshevik invasion of the same era, galvanized all the right wing anti-Communist factions in Germany into forming a core of violent Nationalist political parties that: a] utterly rejected any Bolshevik rhetoric b] called for strong national leadership c] demanded the retention of certain German institutions. In the midst of this fray were the 'freikorps', pissed off combat veterans of War One who didn't understand how they had failed in the War and were **seriously** pissed off at being portrayed as the villain of the affair by France. Hardened by 4 years of the worst conditions in Europe since the Hundred Years War, these veterans were not at all adverse to countering the Reds in the streets, machine gun to machine gun. After the Kapp and Nazi Bierkeller Putsch attempts, the right-wing parties began to combine and morph themselves into stronger and more extreme movements as any attempt at moderation or Centrism was seen as 'weak' or 'vacillating'. This was how fascism started in Germany. Fascism's origins are different in each nation where that style of government takes control, but if you look at the historical trend you'll find a common theme: An entitled propertied class makes an error in statecraft and gets overthrown, there is a period of disorder or even anarchy where Communists attempt to seize control and then the rise of fascist 'strong-man' leadership as a counter-revolution, followed by the inevitable national decline into corruption that fascism always breeds. I'm not blaming fascism on Communism, but Communism is part of the equation a Hell of a lot of the time. And, in case you missed the salient point of my comment, Communism is **equally as evil** as fascism. They are part of the same disease, political extremism. Yeah, you might say that I'm a little 'read-in' on this subject and I might have my facts straight.
@@carlhicksjr8401 Sie sind ein unwissenden Mensch der die Geschichte so dreht wie er brauch.kommen bestimmt aus den Westen.nicht ein Kommunist ist dafür verantwortlich das hitler an die Macht kam müssen sie mal andere Parteien fragen die heute noch da sind.
@@rolandroland8512 Mein Straßendeutsch ist 40 Jahre alt, also benutze ich Google Translate. Dies ist ein Ausschneiden und Einfügen einer Antwort, die ich @mcewan10 gegeben habe Dann lassen Sie mich klarstellen... Die Spartacists-Revolten von 1918-23, zusammen mit der polnischen bolschewistischen Invasion derselben Ära, mobilisierten alle rechten antikommunistischen Fraktionen in Deutschland, um einen Kern gewalttätiger nationalistischer politischer Parteien zu bilden, die: a] jede bolschewistische Rhetorik strikt zurückgewiesen hat b] forderte eine starke nationale Führung c] forderte die Beibehaltung bestimmter deutscher Institutionen. Inmitten dieses Kampfes befanden sich die "Freikorps", angepisste Kriegsveteranen des Ersten Weltkriegs, die nicht verstanden, wie sie im Krieg gescheitert waren und *ernsthaft* sauer waren, von Frankreich als Bösewicht der Affäre dargestellt zu werden. Verhärtet durch 4 Jahre der schlechtesten Bedingungen in Europa seit dem Hundertjährigen Krieg, waren diese Veteranen überhaupt nicht dagegen, den Roten auf den Straßen entgegenzutreten, von Maschinengewehr zu Maschinengewehr. Nach den Versuchen des Kapp- und Nazi-Bierkeller-Putsches begannen sich die rechten Parteien zusammenzuschließen und sich in stärkere und extremere Bewegungen zu verwandeln, da jeder Versuch der Mäßigung oder des Zentrismus als "schwach" oder "schwankend" angesehen wurde. So begann der Faschismus in Deutschland. Die Ursprünge des Faschismus sind in jeder Nation, in der dieser Regierungsstil die Kontrolle übernimmt, unterschiedlich, aber wenn Sie sich den historischen Trend ansehen, werden Sie ein gemeinsames Thema finden: Eine berechtigte besitzende Klasse macht einen Fehler in der Staatskunst und wird gestürzt, es gibt eine Periode der Unordnung oder sogar Anarchie, in der Kommunisten versuchen, die Kontrolle zu übernehmen, und dann der Aufstieg der faschistischen Führung des "starken Mannes" als Konterrevolution, gefolgt von dem unvermeidlichen nationalen Niedergang in die Korruption, den der Faschismus immer hervorbringt. Ich schiebe den Faschismus nicht auf den Kommunismus, aber der Kommunismus ist verdammt oft Teil der Gleichung.
Impressive movie even I cant agree with this Germany "course" 100%. But sad and real story is that this man was betrayed by his beloved Soviet state. There were even negotiations between Germany and Russia about his release and change him for another prisoner in Russia and maybe he even knew about it in jail and waited for release. Anyway he was liked among normal people so he cant be controled like Walter Ulbricht after the war so he should be potential threat in politics. So these negotiations were canceled and he was shot because reich party dont want prominent communist in charge after the war because of ideology. But he became useful for afterwar agenda.
Nobody was betrayed by Russia. Stop making childish statements. The USSR diplomacy had no way of getting the German comrades released. Neither the Italian comrades released. The Soviet state had to secure its fortress and without diplomatic relations with Germany, the Soviet state could never buy enough time to industrialize and prepare for the war. Comrade Thalmann was killed by the Nazis, that's all.
@@satyakibhattacharya4802 You are pretty naive. Policy has its own way. You can look what they did with people who lead revolution in 1917. If Thalmann was in lead of DDR after war he should made republic more independent and that was last thing Stalin wanted.
I am a trotskyist but I like this small end monologue. If the stalinist leadership had been as resolute in facts as they were in their films, maybe the world revolution would have already happened at the time ;)
@@Ryan-dp4rs Stalinism is the bureaucratic degeneration of marxism, transforming this philosophical guide to revolutionary action of the working class into a mere book of quotes to be used to support whatever policy suits the higher echelons of the state apparatus. It developped because the poor level of the industry in the isolated USSR couldn't allow a sufficient level of material comfort to everyone, so that many people strived to get into leadership positions just to obtain priviledges for themselves and their families. They were the bureaucrats who supported Stalin in his ascension to power. Stalin became their man of choice because contrarily to most of the other bolsheviki, he had a narrower world-view and thought that socialism could be achieved in one country, without needing an international revolution. Through the Komintern, this bad influence spread to the newly founded communist parties in many countries, who were led into many mistakes, both of the opportunist and sectarian types. If you want to know more about what was Stalinism, I suggest you to read "The Revolution Betrayed" by Leon Trotsky
@@Ryan-dp4rs Trotskyism is really nothing but marxism/bolshevism/leninism: it advocates for the construction of an international revolutionary organization composed of cadres educated to marxist theory. Those militants must then be ready to intervene when working class movements arise, to defend a programm linking the current experiences/revendications of the masses in struggle to the need of overthrowing capitalism. Basically trying to use the methods of the bolsheviks who led the russian revolution. Personally, I am a member of the International Marxist Tendency, where we want to build a revolutionary organisation of this kind. Ofc, there are some groups who claim to be trotskyists while in practice they have abandonned those principles, and prefer to be loose on theory hoping to attract more people. But this lack of theoretical unity always leads to failure, because when the situation changes quickly(as it always does in a period of deep crisis of the capitalist system), that kind of party will get paralysed by an internal crisis, since every theoretical question they left unsettled ends up being posed concretely.
Sorry, but this made me laugh. The propaganda is very strong here I guess I'll watch this movie. I saw "Circus", it was great. This will surely be fun as well
There's nothing to laugh here. A heroic man that led the antifascist movement and tried to unite every antifascist force together (communists, social-democrats, socialists and democratic socialists) against the rise of the Nazis and also was directly helping the Spanish people to save their Republic and freedom against the fascist coup and regime of Franco, unfortunately was executed by the fascist scums that later were responsible for the destruction of Germany and the death of millions of people.
So, movies where Red Army soldiers run to german positions with no weapons and NKVD commissars' machine guns behind their backs is peak historical accuracy. Okay.

well, why would a prison guard be armed with an assault automatic rifle which is obviously more appropriate in battlefiled conditions taking into its firepower and range? It would make more sense for the guards to be armed with MP-38, or, even better with a plain Mauser rifle with a bayonet. Shooting automatic weapon in confined premises, especially with thick concrete walls of prision, would be suicidal because of guaranteed ricochets.
... close quarters combat come to mind to you???
I don’t get your point
@@sonomacalendar9949 explain why would a guard have a rifle in a confined space where he'll have to chamber another round and possibly get killed? With an automatic weapon in a small space he won't have to worry about multiple people attacking at once is what I'm saying. Hell Hitler himself ordered some of his guards to carry STG's
@@robertstaats7839 first of all there were 10-round semi automatic rifles, so no need to manually chamber
Second, he could have used rifle bayonet, because ANY firing , especially automatic, is dangerous indoors because of ricochets, which follow unpredictable trajectories
Third, Telmann was executed in 1944, when modern assault rifles were more important on battlefields rather than arming prison guards who could be armed even with outdated ww1 rifles
I wonder how Ernst Thälmann would have reacted to the leaders of the KPD after 1945, after they tried to use the imperial colors (black, white and red) at first for the German Democratic Republic. Would Ernst Thälmann have supported the GDR, its bourgeois structures and top-down system? East Germany did not call itself ''socialist'' until 1967. Although Stalin supported Thälmann, it remains to be seen if the KPD leader had supported the regime that came after the war. This is a interesting question since Moscow tried to make the GDR look like a second Weimar Republic, with a state-president, a parliament and ministers. It all had to look bourgeois-democratic, but total control was to be in the hands of the Stalinist: Socialist Unity Party of Germany!
Probably would have been the last wakeup call, after having implemented the stalinisation of the KPD himself.
It certainly would have been too late tho
@Troy S The dirty little secret is that both Romania and GDR (as well as other self proclaimed "socialist states" ) had a managerial ruling class controlling both politics and economy, where the State had taken over the role of the "enterpreneur" , functioning with the same input & output logic of capitalist economies.
The working class had no representation inside self-managed councils and even the so called "socialist institutions" copied bourgeois power structures in functions and names.
1989 just destroyed their hypocritical veil and officially revealed the true nature of those "popular democracies".
Funny thing is that today's stalinists defend the "Axis of Resistance" siding with their fascist buddies in initiatives and comitees, but at the same time they STILL go on with the old "nazi-trotskite" plot tier.
The real thing we can say is : If Thalmann was elected in 1932,some millions lives maybe safes....
How bout you stop shitting on former communist countries and actually be proud of this heritage ?

Just so we're all clear here... this post is part of recent effort Communists and Red Socialists to portray themselves as heroes. This film was, in fact, a DDR propaganda movies that was required viewing in all secondary schools up until the day the Honnecker government fell.
At 1:05 ... 'A better Germany. A Germany without you.'
All very true. It just took 40 more years than Thalmann thought. The DDR wasn't any better than the Reich or it's Soviet masters.
In point of historical fact, Thalmann was part of the Spartacists Revolt that tried to overthrow the government of Germany [and did, in several areas], and the rise of fascism in Germany is a direct consequence of their efforts. Right wing nationalistic 'Freikorps' formed to fight the Reds in the streets and the NSDAP was the end result of that fight.
Remember, boys and girls, fascism and Communism are **equally evil** and any opinion otherwise is delusional. History has judged both, and found them sorely lacking.
Outstanding and true comment. Both forms of government are all about power to the centralized government and their corrupt elites.
Blaming the rise of fascism on the communists really is a hot take my friend
@@rmcewan10 Then let me clarify...
The Spartacists Revolts of 1918-23, along with the Polish Bolshevik invasion of the same era, galvanized all the right wing anti-Communist factions in Germany into forming a core of violent Nationalist political parties that:
a] utterly rejected any Bolshevik rhetoric
b] called for strong national leadership
c] demanded the retention of certain German institutions.
In the midst of this fray were the 'freikorps', pissed off combat veterans of War One who didn't understand how they had failed in the War and were **seriously** pissed off at being portrayed as the villain of the affair by France. Hardened by 4 years of the worst conditions in Europe since the Hundred Years War, these veterans were not at all adverse to countering the Reds in the streets, machine gun to machine gun.
After the Kapp and Nazi Bierkeller Putsch attempts, the right-wing parties began to combine and morph themselves into stronger and more extreme movements as any attempt at moderation or Centrism was seen as 'weak' or 'vacillating'.
This was how fascism started in Germany.
Fascism's origins are different in each nation where that style of government takes control, but if you look at the historical trend you'll find a common theme:
An entitled propertied class makes an error in statecraft and gets overthrown, there is a period of disorder or even anarchy where Communists attempt to seize control and then the rise of fascist 'strong-man' leadership as a counter-revolution, followed by the inevitable national decline into corruption that fascism always breeds.
I'm not blaming fascism on Communism, but Communism is part of the equation a Hell of a lot of the time.
And, in case you missed the salient point of my comment, Communism is **equally as evil** as fascism. They are part of the same disease, political extremism.
Yeah, you might say that I'm a little 'read-in' on this subject and I might have my facts straight.
@@carlhicksjr8401 Sie sind ein unwissenden Mensch der die Geschichte so dreht wie er brauch.kommen bestimmt aus den Westen.nicht ein Kommunist ist dafür verantwortlich das hitler an die Macht kam müssen sie mal andere Parteien fragen die heute noch da sind.
@@rolandroland8512 Mein Straßendeutsch ist 40 Jahre alt, also benutze ich Google Translate. Dies ist ein Ausschneiden und Einfügen einer Antwort, die ich @mcewan10 gegeben habe
Dann lassen Sie mich klarstellen...
Die Spartacists-Revolten von 1918-23, zusammen mit der polnischen bolschewistischen Invasion derselben Ära, mobilisierten alle rechten antikommunistischen Fraktionen in Deutschland, um einen Kern gewalttätiger nationalistischer politischer Parteien zu bilden, die: a] jede bolschewistische Rhetorik strikt zurückgewiesen hat b] forderte eine starke nationale Führung c] forderte die Beibehaltung bestimmter deutscher Institutionen. Inmitten dieses Kampfes befanden sich die "Freikorps", angepisste Kriegsveteranen des Ersten Weltkriegs, die nicht verstanden, wie sie im Krieg gescheitert waren und *ernsthaft* sauer waren, von Frankreich als Bösewicht der Affäre dargestellt zu werden. Verhärtet durch 4 Jahre der schlechtesten Bedingungen in Europa seit dem Hundertjährigen Krieg, waren diese Veteranen überhaupt nicht dagegen, den Roten auf den Straßen entgegenzutreten, von Maschinengewehr zu Maschinengewehr.
Nach den Versuchen des Kapp- und Nazi-Bierkeller-Putsches begannen sich die rechten Parteien zusammenzuschließen und sich in stärkere und extremere Bewegungen zu verwandeln, da jeder Versuch der Mäßigung oder des Zentrismus als "schwach" oder "schwankend" angesehen wurde. So begann der Faschismus in Deutschland. Die Ursprünge des Faschismus sind in jeder Nation, in der dieser Regierungsstil die Kontrolle übernimmt, unterschiedlich, aber wenn Sie sich den historischen Trend ansehen, werden Sie ein gemeinsames Thema finden: Eine berechtigte besitzende Klasse macht einen Fehler in der Staatskunst und wird gestürzt, es gibt eine Periode der Unordnung oder sogar Anarchie, in der Kommunisten versuchen, die Kontrolle zu übernehmen, und dann der Aufstieg der faschistischen Führung des "starken Mannes" als Konterrevolution, gefolgt von dem unvermeidlichen nationalen Niedergang in die Korruption, den der Faschismus immer hervorbringt. Ich schiebe den Faschismus nicht auf den Kommunismus, aber der Kommunismus ist verdammt oft Teil der Gleichung.
mfw they have stg44s in 1934
Not a lot of period accurate guns survived the war, but yeah it's pretty funny.
Thalmann was executed in 1944, so the gun existed then. Though, prison guards typically didn't carry STG44s.
@@Reskov ohhh i didn’t know that, thought he died in 34
in 1944 ss in black uniform to kill him it's nonsense
Impressive movie even I cant agree with this Germany "course" 100%. But sad and real story is that this man was betrayed by his beloved Soviet state. There were even negotiations between Germany and Russia about his release and change him for another prisoner in Russia and maybe he even knew about it in jail and waited for release. Anyway he was liked among normal people so he cant be controled like Walter Ulbricht after the war so he should be potential threat in politics. So these negotiations were canceled and he was shot because reich party dont want prominent communist in charge after the war because of ideology. But he became useful for afterwar agenda.
Nobody was betrayed by Russia. Stop making childish statements. The USSR diplomacy had no way of getting the German comrades released. Neither the Italian comrades released. The Soviet state had to secure its fortress and without diplomatic relations with Germany, the Soviet state could never buy enough time to industrialize and prepare for the war. Comrade Thalmann was killed by the Nazis, that's all.
@@satyakibhattacharya4802 USSR was not socialist. Stop caping for a liberal state.
@BioChemistryWizard yet another child left behind.
@@satyakibhattacharya4802 You are pretty naive. Policy has its own way. You can look what they did with people who lead revolution in 1917. If Thalmann was in lead of DDR after war he should made republic more independent and that was last thing Stalin wanted.
I am a trotskyist but I like this small end monologue. If the stalinist leadership had been as resolute in facts as they were in their films, maybe the world revolution would have already happened at the time ;)
@@genericwhitekidthesecond4330 Learn to think, for real
Tf is "stalinism" ?
@@Ryan-dp4rs Stalinism is the bureaucratic degeneration of marxism, transforming this philosophical guide to revolutionary action of the working class into a mere book of quotes to be used to support whatever policy suits the higher echelons of the state apparatus. It developped because the poor level of the industry in the isolated USSR couldn't allow a sufficient level of material comfort to everyone, so that many people strived to get into leadership positions just to obtain priviledges for themselves and their families. They were the bureaucrats who supported Stalin in his ascension to power.
Stalin became their man of choice because contrarily to most of the other bolsheviki, he had a narrower world-view and thought that socialism could be achieved in one country, without needing an international revolution.
Through the Komintern, this bad influence spread to the newly founded communist parties in many countries, who were led into many mistakes, both of the opportunist and sectarian types.
If you want to know more about what was Stalinism, I suggest you to read "The Revolution Betrayed" by Leon Trotsky
@@turtlecraft7996 As a Trot, do you still support Marxist-Leninist vanguardism?
@@Ryan-dp4rs Trotskyism is really nothing but marxism/bolshevism/leninism: it advocates for the construction of an international revolutionary organization composed of cadres educated to marxist theory. Those militants must then be ready to intervene when working class movements arise, to defend a programm linking the current experiences/revendications of the masses in struggle to the need of overthrowing capitalism. Basically trying to use the methods of the bolsheviks who led the russian revolution.
Personally, I am a member of the International Marxist Tendency, where we want to build a revolutionary organisation of this kind.
Ofc, there are some groups who claim to be trotskyists while in practice they have abandonned those principles, and prefer to be loose on theory hoping to attract more people. But this lack of theoretical unity always leads to failure, because when the situation changes quickly(as it always does in a period of deep crisis of the capitalist system), that kind of party will get paralysed by an internal crisis, since every theoretical question they left unsettled ends up being posed concretely.
LOL communism
ok and?
Kommunistenpropaganda!
ja und?
Propaganda film by the Communists. Keep moving.
mfw communists make media that is pro communism. (inconceivable how could they do this??)
Don’t care, Didnt ask.
Begone, lib
Don't care fash are gonna get bashed
you say that as if that makes it bad. it makes it extra cool
Sorry, but this made me laugh. The propaganda is very strong here
I guess I'll watch this movie. I saw "Circus", it was great. This will surely be fun as well
propaganda exists in almost all media, I don't why you think it's funny that it's in a movie about a communist
There's nothing to laugh here. A heroic man that led the antifascist movement and tried to unite every antifascist force together (communists, social-democrats, socialists and democratic socialists) against the rise of the Nazis and also was directly helping the Spanish people to save their Republic and freedom against the fascist coup and regime of Franco, unfortunately was executed by the fascist scums that later were responsible for the destruction of Germany and the death of millions of people.
@@stgr0186Franco was not fascist
So, movies where Red Army soldiers run to german positions with no weapons and NKVD commissars' machine guns behind their backs is peak historical accuracy. Okay.
