“It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.
Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.”
― J. V. Stalin
Cool story bro. 2 plus 2 may equal 4 but the man stating this truth that is a murderer is still a murderer.
@@tboon9399 Well, "bro", I would suggest you re-examine your ideas about this. Or, and you will more likely do this, continue eating and drinking western and/or revionist slop. Actually read the damn quote, you *might* just learn something if your mind is even a little bit open.
You are more of a murderer than he could ever be, even I, too, before I learned the truth about political economy and the world in which we live, and judging by your subscriptions, you would definitely be open to promoting US-led western imperialist murder and denying that it is such, even fascism and not knowing it is such, because your creators for whom you fanboy are doubtless promoting just the kind of false consciousness that I'm talking about.
You haven't "won" anything by your dude-bro type of comment, it is a fact that Comrade Stalin did his bit to create a better world, which is way more than you will ever do, and in my lifetime, way better than even my paltry efforts could be. I used to believe as you do, but I learned and accepted the truth and grew up, the class consciousness concerning the material world in which we live being the beginning of wisdom.
@@tboon9399 Communism also fails by design. But clearly people here have not realised it yet

I thought you were accusing ME of arguing for capitalism. I’m a democratic socialist but without heavy regulation and oversight, any system is vulnerable to bastards.
For some, it might have been better. But one must be very ignorant if he/she thinks that the Stalinist USSR was actually a great living period.

I would prefer the latter but I have no confidence in our ability to pull it off. I think another near useless bureaucracy would evolve. So I would settle for” Bernie-ism”.

Yes I know. That’s the best I can hope for here.
The real revisionism started with Khrushchev
"Compared to our current government, Stalin is god".
My Russian friend's answer is this: "Current government are all together with no checks and challenges. Even if one make mistake there are little punishment. At least Stalin can send them to gulag and create conflict between inner party (I guess to make competition)"
shawn li is he advocating for more problems? Am I getting this right?
@@thedarkgamertdg2234 I showed him the comment and he just typed back what i said.
We are at the view that there is little accountability in the current government. Normally, different branch of the government should challenge each other, presenting their perspective (treasury will be against military expansion because it costs money), but current RU officials share the same interest, so things go unopposed and breed bad culture.
That's why you never acquiesce to american foreign policy lol. USSR was a super power, Russia is a shithole.
That's not really true. Stalin killed many people during he ruled a country. About 20 million people was sent to death penalty in Siberia. Minimum 2 million of them were died. About half of that citizens wasn't guilty. People don't wanna Stalin's return

At least in the USSR it was
1) free higher education
2) free apartment. If you have children, then they give you a big apartment.
3) free medicine, one of the best in the world.
4) Low rates of social stratification
5) The absence of unemployment, that is, you are provided with work and work in the specialty for which you studied.
6) Promotion of atheism at the state level, although religions were not oppressed. They just weren't funded)
7) National, gender and racial equality after revolutions. And this is 1917. Women led enterprises, became scientists, etc. While in the US .....
8) Real healthy products, without vegetable harmonies. Because there was a "GOST"
So how russia become so poor
@@jasonmiller3011 the capitalist restoration. When the USSR was dissolved, the wealthy in the country bought up all the previously state-owned companies and industry. That's also why most post-soviet states have oligarchies. Under capitalism, the most profitable things are the most encouraged things, and buying up all the infrastructure, lowering wages, and ignoring worker protections are all VERY profitable.
@@tex8788 but there is also capitalism in usa . I am a plumber and I buy a new car every year . If capitalism is bad then how I make so much money and if communism is good then how all the avarage people in communist countries are so poor .
@@jasonmiller3011 There are several things to take note of here. The first is that your experience is not typical of the average American. Most Anericans find trouble paying for a 400 dollar emergency.
The second is that communist countries are largely sanctioned to death by the US and NATO blocs. Despite this, countries like Cuba have higher literacy, lower infant mortality, and higher life expectancies than the USA.
Many communist countries also rose from far lower starting points than the USA or Europe.
Look at the USSR for example- in the early 1900s Russia had almost no industry, with almost all of their manufacturing in two cities. It was a feudal state with literal peasants. Thirty years after the communists gain power and the USSR, after a famine, two world wars, a revolution, a civil war, economic blockades, and an invasion by US, Canadian, and British troops, beats back the Nazis on the eastern front. Mind you, the majority of the Nazi army was in the east as they planned to genocide the Slavs living there and colonize it for Germans.
Cuba was a sugar colony. The GDR had almost no industry as West Germany just so happened to own the Rhine valley and half of Berlin.
These countries started from very low and achieved many things for their populations.
Compare Cuba to other countries in Latin America, as well. Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, El Salvador, Paraguay, etc: Cuba outperforms them in many metrics.
To say that "people in communist countries are poor" denies the starting places of these countries and what the average life is like there when compared to countries in the same economic level.
Finally, after the fall of the USSR, several things happened. Alcoholism and drug use skyrocketed. Homelessness exploded. After Communism, only the countries with millions and billions in funding from outside sources stayed afloat, with oligarchies buying up the state machinery. Significant portions in most of these countries want communism back.
There's my answer to your response.
@@tex8788 most Americans nearly 80% of them use iPhone . An avarage iPhone cost 1000 us$ . How can people can not afford 400 $ . It is just people spend money stupidly . America is the easiest country in this world to make money .
If Stalin had governed 80's Soviet Union. Soviets would still be here today for sure. Under Stalin. Russia was a super power at any cost.
@Alex The Awesome No they weren't.
@Alex The Awesome Stalin made the clouds stop raining
@@bobbys1308 No, but he sold food abroad for factory equipment and he enforced an economic system that lead to reduced production.
@@costasvas341 yeah but tell me any famine that happened after that exactly they never that was the point to stop famine as both ussr and america had equal rations but the soviets one was more nutreisas
Stalin almost ruins the country thousands starved in the countryside
This reminds me of the part in the Simpsons were Russia at a UN meeting suddenly switches back to the Soviet Union so looks like its just a matter of time.
When Putin dies the Soviet Union will rise
it wont atleast not into the full potential cause some of the nations that ussr occupied are in nato and eu and a war between nato and eu is commiting suicide

i know countless people who had relatives who died or suffered under the 'liberating force' of the krauts(my family included), but have yet to find somebody outside of a liberal russian or ultranationalist Eastern European that was sent to a gulag despite the american education system telling my Russian/ukrainian/Polish self that Stalin imprisoned over 40 million people while simultaneously killing over 30 million people
that's a made up number. no leader can intentionally kill that much. it is human nature to fight back when oppressed. if stalin even attempted such a thing there would have been revolt everywhere. and it's just not logical it would break gov reputation and break the economy who would be stupid to attempt that?
30 million people... Any evidence?
@@nauticalnovice9244 their point is that it's wrong
Exactly, there's been several academics stating that the numbers touted in western academia is actually just rumors and estimates from the cold war , and please I do not trust a single number coming from that time and that region.

Stalin died in 53. How can these people be "nostalgic" for something that they didn't even live through? Maybe I'm nit picking but it feels like the wrong word choice.
They just want the old glorious days of the gulag and great economic growth!
That's why they tore his legacy down after he died in '53, because the ppl who lived through it we're terrified by him. All these ppl remembering Stalin fondly are lucky they were born after Stalin was long dead.
Andrew Isbell Actually rightly or wrongly Stalin was loved in Russia when he died. However it’s true the other states hated him.
overwhelming lots of shit is coming from tv and russian social media groups(Evgeniy Prigozhin's private 50cent army of kremlinbots, yes, youtube too). various topics are mixed with pseudoscience, pseudolinguistics, anti-semitism, racism, somekind of neopaganism, lots of religious cults and sects(not to mention the main, government-level one - russian orthodox church. well they claim they're orthodox but greek orthodox told rescently they've nothing to do with it) lots of conspiracy theories bullshit(as well as the stuff mentioned earlier) is pushed through so called pseudodocumentaries. it's like spam, it's everywhere people are reposting convincing each other to believe in it. lots of folks are just tierd and are trying to seclude themselves from the shit that's happening. like "i'm apolitical, i (don't want to)know nothing about it, whe're just plain folk, but still vote for Putin cause "there's no other alternative".

This shows a difference between the Russians and the Chinese. The Chinese recognise Mao's mistakes but respect his achievements. Yeltsin denounced Stalin and the USSR. History has a continuity and the USSR has its stand in Russian history with its positives and negatives. See how China is now and how Russia is now. The present is built from the past. Smart leaders learn from past mistakes but not negate everything past leaders do. Yelstin even became humble to recognise fake mistakes set up to denounce Stalin. I call that silly.
China is capitalist bullshit anyway.

Stalin will rise again !!! :)) !!!
I hope not
Stalin lead the USSR was it experienced the brutality and Famine of the Russian civil war that took 10 years to fully end and ruined much of the country, and during this post civil war period Stalin took this war torn agricultural nation and turned it into a modern superpower with industrialized farming and a system of food distribution to everyone in only a couple decades, and then the nazis attacked and he lead the nation against them and dusrvived the worst horrors of the holocaust that was mostly done in the USSR and the famines caused by the loss of farmland to war which stalin ended, in the post war period Stalin eradicated homelessness and rapidly improved quality of life for the USSR's citizens before dying. it only makes sense he is still remembered so well.
The famines were caused by Stalin rounding up all of the grains and the seeds and the farming equipment from the kulaks and leaving them to starve and eat their own children in the winter. Stalin's paranoia was so myopic and destructive that it led him to killing off thousands of the military brass during the purges of the 1930s leaving the Soviets with an unlearned, inexperienced, sycophantic Officer class that was helpless when the Germans attacked in 1941. His only redemption is that he had more corpses to throw into the meat grinder at Stalingrad, and that he put his faith in Zhukov, who was actually brilliant. Stalin is without equal. He's the totalitarian leader to set the benchmark, and corpses in the tens of millions lie at his feet. He's the worst person who ever lived.
@@rorybiller first of all, both sides seized grain from peasants to feed their soldiers during the war. this is nothing new and has happened in every single war in history and it was in no way a centralized effort. the Kuluks were not "left to starve", they were infact moved to kolkhoz farms several years after the civil war. as far as the infamous "army purges" the red army had many officers in it loyal to the tsar that had to be used to fight the civil war because they were invaluable to the army but could never be fully trusted. they had to go, however very few were actually executed most were just exiled to remote regions of russia (not in gulags usually), and the myth that the red army was a savage meat grinder that only won through sheer manpower is just that a myth, infact it is an insult to the people who fought bravely and died to defeat the nazis. the Red army suffered so badly because the eastern front of world war two is the place where the world's at the time two largest armies were fighting and furiously trying to wipe eahc other off the face of the planet. the Nazi's suffered similar extreme losses infact 80% of all nazi wartime deaths happened fighting in the east.
also the claim that Stalin "killed tens of millions" is absurd for multiple reasons:
1. often, the numbers i hear for stalin's death toll exceed the actual population of the USSR at the time so they are clearly bullshit because that is physically impossible.
2. Internationally verified Census data shows no such major population decline except of course during world war two which i shouldn't need to explain why people would be dying during
3. the numbers vary so wildly depending on how far to the right whoever is telling me them are that it is obvious to anybody they were made up on the spot.
Stalin collected The grain and exported IT so that he could purchase industrial equipment from The West. The famines were caused by this export-import trade. Stalin built stalinkas For The elites and did not build enough housing for The ordinary people. When Kruschev came in, his priority was building so-called kruschovkas For The masses. So, Stalin killed a lot of people in these man-made famines and also let people live in subpar housing for 10-20 years.
The Soviet Union lives on in every communists hearts. Our fight for equality and the liberation of the working class will never cease. Glory to comrade Stalin!
the thousands dead may disagree
Hear hear! I was born and raised in the west, and still live there, where all the lies imaginable are pushed about Stalin and everything socialist, but even I know the truth! After Lenin, that great visionary, there was Stalin, the other great visionary, whose assassination by the Khruschevite scum paved the way for the overthrow of glorious Soviet socialism and the Soviet Union through illegal dissolution. The Soviet Union and all those socialist states faithful to the communist cause live on in my heart, too.
May Soviet socialism return, better than before, may the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics rise again and make the capitalist world tremble!
@@sentientnatalie nice text comrade, we all fight on our separate stretches of land to end upp in solidarity for a socialist future.

@@sentientnatalie Fucking hell you are on drugs.
1. Lenin did not want Stalin to become the next leader
2. Stalin was a horrible dictator who murdered 9 million people through famine, purges etc
3. Socialism/ Communism has clearly failed. Stalin didn't intend for a devolution of the state ever, no communist leader does. You know why? Because it is very easy to become corrupt when your a dictator. Communism fails by design

I already know that when I die a heap of rubbish will be shoved on my grave- but one day it will be blown away by the wind of history - Josef Stalin, Savior of Mankind
The Russians are right! Stalin was a great man that took a backward agrarian country into an industrial power house. Russia lost the First World War and won the Second. When Stalin died, he left behind a Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, never to be invaded again. There hasn't been a greater leader of the Soviet Union or Russia since. Even Putin can never match Stalin's achievements.
Yes, Stalin made mistakes and killed people. But if this somehow delegitimises Stalin, then the USA and Britain would be two countries that automatically delegitimise themselves. Both of them are responsible for some of history's worst genocides - the US wouldn't even have a country without wholesale genocide of native Americans, and mass enslavement of Africans. The British Empire caused famines everywhere, from Ireland to the Bengal killing tens of millions.
Russia should give its greatest recent leader the due respect that Stalin deserves. When I do finally get to visit Russia in the future, I hope I will find Stalin's statues restored so I can pay respects to the great man!

Jason S Savitt lmfao “knowing mao.” so corny. you only “know” mao through the lense of capitalist history. regardless, claiming that mao purposely killed the working class people in the great leap forward, going so far as to use the term murdered, is ahistorical AT BEST. you need to keep in mind that china at this time in its history was the poorest country in the world and, therefore, predisposed to famine, flood deaths, etc. caused by unpredictable weather patterns. china had been having famines of the same or higher death toll throughout history, and the famine seen in the great leap forward has been the last famine in china since. of course there were mistakes mao made, but attributing EVERY DEATH to only him disputed the conditions of the time is ridiculous and honestly stupid. what the great leap forward succeeded in doing was developing the productive forces of the prc, therefore creating an economy more capable of supporting its population of 800 million at the time (remember that china was THE POOREST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD before the revolution), and was the first program of economic development in china leading to the current 800 million lifted out of poverty figure, championed by modern day china. also, just because you wanted to assert that mao was chairman of the prc contrary to the masses desire, mao unleashed what was called the Cultural Revolution in china in the 1960’s in which he called for the masses of china to persecute any person, concept, or thing that they felt hindered the revolution’s advancement, this included the communist party and its government figures. if they didn’t want mao to be their leader, the 800 million working class people would have thrown him out like they did numerous other people/things lol
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovosky because mao definitely didn’t throw out the tibetan feudal lords who’d been starving and mutilating the tibetan people for hundreds of years.
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovosky theres literally no evidence that uighurs are having their organs harvested. literally every article i’ve read on the subject sites either cia media arms, ngos funded by the united states, or the fulon gong media arm and its affiliates lmfao. you also fail to provide context, you can’t just say “they’re detaining uighurs.” leaving one’s mind to wander. we already know that uighurs are being radicalized by right wing western forces, and are even being smuggled to turkey in order to fight proxy wars. we already know that radical uighur terrorists have committed numerous deadly terrorist attacks in china since 2010. the re-education camps are nothing more than just that: re-education camps for those suspected of harboring extremist views. you’re being hypocritical, the united states (the west generally) imprison non white people disproportionately and at WAY higher rates. unlike china, we have evidence for why this happens, it’s in the constitution, is free labor for the bourgeoisie.
Great vid, would be good to get some tips so my vids get to this level. Let me know what I can do better in my comments
Why is it revisionism to say he transformed the country and won WW2?
This makes me think of the Lenin quote of “Capitalists will sell us the rope by which we hang them”. What I mean by that is Putin is trying to garner more support for Russian Imperialism by celebrating figures of Russia’s Soviet Past but this is leading to people saying yeah “ things were better under communism”
This comment rings true now more than it ever did before.
They aren't wrong Stalin did transform Russia into a industrial super power but at the cost of millions of lives...
@Revolutionary Communist I see this video has started to attract the Stalin defense squad let me guess you think Stalin didn't violently resettle and forcibly aquire the assets of the Kulaks huh? He also didn't kill them in there hundreds of thousands either right?
Edit: I can't tell if your trolling if so disregard lol

He is better than Lenin !

Not really. Every sane man craves, stability, harmony, order and strong action. These are what founded and worked with human societies since their inception. There was no commitee, there was one tribe leader. There was no democracy, there was the king. Democracy, its modern 1800th century incarnation is a false god.
Most people are cattle and wish to be treated as such, they want their autonomy stripped away from them in exchange of false promises of safety.
It's honoring history and recognizing him as the hero that he was; rather than wishing for him to be resurrected. I'm sure that Americans who honor George Washington don't want him to be resurrected and made president.
Let's not forget that the USSR had insane losses during the second world war, the USA however compared to that barely any. The arms race that followed after ww2 was anything but not a fair battle of two systems. On one side was an economic super power and the wealthiest country in the world, on the other side was a country that had just stopped being an agrar state and had their industries destroyed by a gruesome war.
The USSR had insane losses because of German invasion. 8 million soldiers died. 20 million more citizens. The US has under 1 million and didn't enter the war in Europe until 1944, 3 years after the initial German invasion of the USSR.

Soviet tanks saved Europe from the Nazi yoke. Also, Hungarian incident was 1956, stalin died in 1953.

"Self described businessman and Stalinist"
Stalin: Ha, I like you.... go to gulag
Nah, dude. It wasn't like that. The Great Purge of 1937-38 mostly affected party and military elites. Maybe for that reason Stalin, unlike Hitler, didn't have to go through 6 assasination attempts. Some of the rich peasantry was relocated to make way for collectivisation program (to help out industrialisation).
Bruh, they are chads! lol.

@Внук Ельцина What? Why? What was the point of the revolution?
@Внук Ельцина but why the hate for his countrymen? I thought it was the autocratic Tsars he hated.
Edit: Nevermind I did the research, Lenin himself was of mixed heritage. Jewish along with Swedish/German. He was only Russian by birth.
@Внук Ельцина And is it true he attempted to destabilize Russia so Germany would win?
sniff i miss him too
ah yes, my new home.
The victory parades were hardly celebrated during the soviet era because of its brutality, so it was a low key celebration. These parades were celebrated in 1945 and 1985, after the collapse of the union, Russia celebrates it every 9th of May. The most common celebrations in the USSR were the October Revolution and May Day parades.
Yes there were so Many Widows.
If Russia becomes the Soviet Union in the future, I might believe in the Simpsons.

@@fortis3686 The victory which is won by millions of deaths is called Pyrrhic victory
Yh, he achieved this by turning each individual into pure production asset, only living on a minimum of basic needs and giving the individual no change for self-development
. Thanks to the lend-lease program the USSR received vital equipment and support, before they got their own industry running in masses. 'Leading them into victory', yh since USSR had a plenty of people the preferred strategy was just to throw as many (sometimes unarmed) individuals at them until the enemy is overrun. In short: giving not a single fk about your own population and their well being. Congrats, you did achieve your goal, but it's just a matter of time before your own people turn against you tho. Guess what happened...
And millions upon millions were sacrificed. 4 million were forced into the gulags which were responsible for much of the success of the USSR. In other words, the "super worker" boasted by commies didn't actually make a dent. Without slaves in the gulags the empire would have fallen. All the sins commies believed capitalism commits they themselves committed everyday.
