"Communism is bad." *says Tyler as Soviet national anthem blasts proudly in the background*

Want to hear a Joke
At one of USSR's bread lines during the Perestroika, a man in the crowd is mumbling to himself. "No bread, no milk, no meat, what a shame". Two policemen walking the beat hearing his mumbling walk up to him, and say:
"Citizen, if you said that 40 years ago you'd be shot, so just shut up and stand in line like everybody else"
As the policemen leave, the man turns back to the crowd and says:
"Not only we don't have bread or milk, but I was just told we ran out of bullets too."
Of course it sucks.
It’s Perestroika, where the economy is dead and worst.
I don't get it
@@silentfilms7459 ohhhhhh lol
Lmfao! Good one
Whenever I am thinking of plenty ammo supply it's got me feels, man.
Not being political but the Soviet National Anthem just sounds great!
Not to sound crude, but Soviets/Russians seem to know how to make good music
It might be because it's based in the old Emperial Russian Anthem... Just saying...
Matheus Martinez Pinho it’s based on a happy song made by Alexander alexandrov or something
Listen to the Red Alert Red Army theme. That is some BOMB ASS STUFF
I hate communism and the Soviet Union but bro these evil empires be kicken with the national anthems.
Senator McCarthy would fit right into a CZcams comment section.
He really was a modern democrat. He called everyone he didn’t like a communist, and if someone called him out for that, he’d call them a communist. Nowadays democrats do the same thing with calling everyone racism, sexist, or white supremacists.
CW Peters
Wait, the first half of your comment was talking about the *old* Democrats ? Those against the Civil Rights ? That’d make more sense
@@nicholasleclerc1583 read the rest
Mr. Bones The Second
No, wait : Democrats these days might as well support antifa, which are communists
I mean, they’re on the *MODERN Left* ; so much so that they alienate everyone to the alt-Right by calling them racists; and so they’d never call their ennemies Communists, which they’re closer to then these “alt-Righters”...
I just don’t get it...
@@nicholasleclerc1583 he's basically pointing out the fact that,if you dont agree with their ideals,modern Democrats [usually feminists] will call you something,like a racist.
Generally,McCarthy was quick to call you a communist if you didn't agree with him.
But,communists are,and have been,considered far left.

Actually, we'd after to go even further back. See, in the 1860's, when the USA found itself emashed in a civil war, there existed a concern that other nations would interfere in out politics, most importantally in preference to the CSA. See, Russia was one of those powers at the time that not-so secretally supported the USA, including welcoming their navy to be in our habors. This connection was so important to the Unuin cuase that the US Secreatary of War, Gideon Welles, went so far as to say: "God Bless the Russians"
This fealing did not end when the US civil war ended, as seen by a 1871 US dipmatic mission by Olivier Wendel Homes to Russia, commented: Bleak are our shores with the blasts of December, Fettered and chill is the rivulet’s flow; Thrilling and warm are the hearts that remember Who was our friend when the world was our foe. Fires of the North in eternal communion, Blend your broad flashes with evening’s bright star; God bless the Empire that loves the Great Union Strength to her people! Long life to the Czar! "
This bonds whould coninue to grow, parually from mutual admiration, bolsterd by concerns for the same great powers (France & G.B), that me these countries so close together. The Tsars were known to have positive fealings for the US. These dealings lead to sale of Alaska in 1867, only a few years following the end of the civil war. The paths seem to be have parralles also, as the reforms brought on by the Russian Empire gave additional fredoms to the serfs starting in 1861, the same time anti-slavory ferver had brought the Abolioshonist, 'radical-Republican', Lincoln to be sworn in as the 16th President of the United States.
This is why the scare in 1917 had such a effect on the US, as if Russia could fall to such a revolution, not only did the US stand lose such a close and stowerd friend, it was also forbodin, as it was possible for such a revoluton could happen here also. It didn not hep when some people with the 'soviet' doctrine sought to spread the idea though reolvutions overthrowing goverments allover the world, including the USA. The possibility seemed all to real for some, which brought some to demand constant vigilence stand, less the US should fall to subversives from within. Though out US history, from 1917 on, anytime a reform was not liked it was tearmed as 'socialism". FDR's New Deal was branded by some in that light, even though it sought to give work to people with WPA, restore faith in the banks with FDIC providing backing to citizesn should moeny held in the banks fail, and Social Secruity. Many of these changes have long been seen as part of the bredrock of the USA, but at the time were seen by some concervatives as being bad and anti-buisness.
These same concerns continue to this day. New terms have been used to refer to the politics, to avoid the problamatic risk of being tar-and feathered with anytierm that could relate to 'socialism' or communisim. Sure, we are not running scared of the picibility their could be a socalist somplace, pushing for revolution, but the concern exist all the same, making any word connected to it to be deamed in a varry negitive light, akin to calling somone a 'Nazi', though on the other wise of the political spectrum.
Nazis were also a dictatorship and have always been next to Marxism on the left of the political spectrum. Just because recently academia has lied and changed the history of Nazi Germany to make it "right wing" does not make it fact. The real facts are this ; Dictatorships are increased power governments (left wing), and by definition, limited power governments (right wing) never have dictators.
@@donrutter6550 th.. that is so wrong... n.. nothing about what you just said is true.. at all... dictatorship isnt a political stance and.. and.. what the fuck? Where are the quotes? Any research done? I want to see sources pal cause the shit you spewed just made my head cave in

Sadly, the US's preoccupation with panicking about Communism and ranting about anything to the left of Mussolini also led to some of problems further down the line. Using it as an excuse to overthrow democratically elected left-wing figures such as Mohammad Mosaddegh and Salvador Allende and the installation of authoritarian puppets, which led to stuff like the Islamic Revolution of 1979, large death tolls, an over-reliance on neoliberal economics in parts of the western world and the like.

The sometimes irrational fear of communism was overused by a lot of ambitious businessmen and politicians. If you wanted to oppose something, just claim it was related to communism and it would lose all credibility in the public eye. All you had to do was accuse something or someone and that's all it took to weaken them. It justified many atrocities, meddling in foreign affairs, going to senseless wars, and possibly facilitating assassinations of influential figures like Kennedy and MLK because their efforts would undermine America's anti communist efforts (yes, I do believe they could have gone to those lengths).
The last 50 years have been one big disaster because of this, those in charge were so staunch in their anti communist position that they were prepared to push any agenda regardless of the flaws just to sell it as a better system than communism, they doubled down on capitalism refusing to acknowledge that it would cause major class divisions over time, they gave free reign to big businesses to exploit their workforces to increase their bottom line, they allowed the real estate market and education costs to become over bloated to the point where it is unaffordable to most common people. All of this was in the name of propping up capitalism as not just the better way but the only way and here were are now suffering the consequences of that while those who perpetrated it are living happily with everything they managed to extract from the broken system they created before it became impossible for those today to do so.
Is communism bad? of course it is, people will always have ambitions and will corrupt even a perfect system to serve their own ends and thus the system will always fail in execution. But then, the same can be said for capitalism only it's much easier to do it openly. Is capitalism a failed system? Let's ask a different question, would you consider a system where people working full time cannot afford basic needs successful? No, but that's what we got. Is there a perfect system? No, but it doesn't mean we can't try to find one, even moderate improvement is still progress and that's what we need right now. We don't need to glorify capitalism, we don't need to condemn or embrace communism, socialism, or any political system, we just need to look at ourselves, recognize what's wrong, and change it for the better.

The third red scare is run by CZcamsrs who deem themselves intellectuals while not knowing the difference between social democracy and socialism
"social" democracy "socialism" looks the same to me you get to pick your food taker
flutter king If you think they’re the same thing then you’re an idiot. One is a highly regulated form of capitalism which supports equality while the other gives the workers control of the means of production. Socialism is not social democracy, social democracy is what you see from countries like Denmark, which are by no means socialist states
Using any words with social in them is useless. You could talk about certain policies without calling them any 'ism' but the far right doesn't talk policy anyway, so.. You see the massive straw man flutter king is tackling. It really proves you right that it's a red "scare" all over again.
Stephen Jenkins I’ll need an example of where that happens. I have not seen any candidates on the left advocating for control of the means of production. All I see are people accusing them of being socialist for wanting more government programs or regulations

Currently Communism Is Being Taught A Good Thing In The States
I'm a fan of your channel and it produces very engaging content and I wait for your videos to come out.
Recently I have had problems with your content about the USSR et al. and Left-Wing ideologies. I really want your channel to continue to do well for as long as it can! I feel that if you took time to directly engage with the sources of the ideologies and dedicated yourself to getting a thorough understanding of the ideologies that it could greatly improve the detail in quality of your content. Perhaps this could even be applied to other ideologies that pop up throughout these kinds of historical things. I see people want to learn more about history when they are given some knowledge (just a little etc) about the environment that helped influence it. Given that you are a good writer and presenter, I feel that you could really be able to help people access the behind-the-scences forces of history. I hope that you at least glance at this comment, thanks.
p.s. Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society in which the means of production are owned in common. The Socialist states of the 20th Century were Socialist but *run* by Communist Parties, and this was the cases b/c Communists basically view it like so:
....Capitalism -> Socialism -> Communism.
Finally someone who gets it 🙌👏🙏. I'm a fan too but he clearly blasts his political views by attacking all left wing ideologies marking them as all the same bad thing without reason or any real proof. He glosses over America's sins like we're some bastion of equality when even then in the 50s, the soviet union treated minorities and women as equals. The ussr was the first country to allow women to hold non pink collar jobs and even let them serve in the military on the front lines. And African Americans have testimonies stating they're treated much better over in the ussr(obviously, probably every country in the world treated them better). Hell there was even a proposed idea to make the first Jewish state in the world. Yea the ussr had its faults but most of them where during stalins rule. Most forget the ussr wasn't a totalitarian state after his death. Had Trotsky been the leader the ussr would have been looked back on alot more positively. The sins of stalin discredited communism/socialism. After the fall of communism in the former USSR, many countries went down their own paths abandoning the soviets ideology for capitalism like China or Fascism like North korea. Ironic if u ask me. Vietnam, Laos, Cuba are the only countries that follow leninist socialism. Could go on and on about all the genocides America is responsible for, mainly the one in Guatemala, but I made my point. The point is, Cody is right wing poisoned by the propaganda The US has been pumping out. The accomplishments the USSR made in its short 69 years is far more impressive than any other country to date for the most part concerning statistics.
What's the INCENTIVE to open a business under communism?
Who’s watching this in late 2020? History has a bad habit of repeating itself
thanks for the video
The current Red Scare is the "Russian Bot" stuff that we have now.

I know people insist that it's not real communism unless you achieve a classless and stateless society. This has never happened because it's not possible.
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 Has happened. Many times. You're just too stupid to dig through history and find examples.
Dean Cutler Because the state has literally always existed! Know what, fuck it, humanity deserves extinction, I'm sick of the stupidity.
Lol
Kids think this
Socialism now gets sabotaged by capitalists at every turn
Anyone here because this is happening now?
Yup. This is a Marxist movement disguised as racial justice. Using the impressionable youth and uneducated as their foot soldiers.
"I don't like this, so it must be some form of Marxism"
Good grief, you Americans are such strange people sometimes.
A Ghost Without a Past ummm the leaders of BLM org are admitted marxists.
@Sebastian Canales Yes, because anything that isn't cut and woven to your liking is anti-American and communist.
Thanks for proving my point.
@@henry06x One or two call themselves "Marxist" so the whole movement is.
Interesting logic.
Recommendation: what if the whole world used Artillery Only
I'm seeing a LOT of parallels here
"The Soviet Union was a terrible place and terrible things happened" should be a good summary of the speakers extent of knowledge on the issue at hand.
the ussr maybe had 10-20 years of actually being relatively ok, the years before it were bogged down in extreme attorcities and millions of deaths, the years after the good years were bogged down in insane debt and slow government collapse, with many of their sattelite states seceding from the union
@@Gameprojordan 50's to late 80's are generally considered as the good years by many of that generation.
@@AnnoNymus 50s were definitely not good for everyone, there were tons of situations in satellite countries in the late 50s where they tried revolting against the soviets and faced extremely brutal consequences, stalin was still carrying out purges until his death in '53, I would say around 1960 until 1979 when the soviet-afghani war began was considered truly the good times for the general soviet populace. maybe for someone living in western russia in the 50s it was relatively okay, but for the rest of the states it wasnt by any means good at all, by the late 80s many soviet states broke off from the union and the afghanistan war marred the rest in immense debt, it was one of the leading factors to the unions collapse, along with chernobyl in '86
@@Gameprojordan i was talking about soviet people, not satellite states. Stalin's postwar purges were tame and didn't really affect the general populace. The Afghan war wasn't initially unpopular. I'd say late 80's is when it got bad.
People in western Russia were generally poorer than people in most other constituent republics and even satellite states. Both Poland and DDR generally had more consumer goods than Soviet Russia.
@@Gameprojordanif you think "small groups revolted" or even "bigger groups revolted/protested" is a way to discredit the time i think you have some american history too repeat because apparently the 50-80s too even this day of the us are not good years.
Dont mind me just reminiscing about when tyler's videos didnt look like an acid trip
Razor fist's Hollywood was always red comes to mind, and contradicts a lot of what this video says

What's confusing you here? Do you know what World War 2 was?
@@BigBangAttack-mt6pz Germany actually was declared war on first.
First Judae declared war, boycott all German goods
then France and Great Britain declared war because Germany invaded Poland but they DIDNT declare war on the Soviet Union who also invaded Poland from the East,

I love the videos, but I was wondering if it is possible to list the sources used for the videos
As far as communist sympathizers in media, about ten years ago I visited an open house at the New York Film Academy. Near to the top of a wall, someone had painted a quote about entertainment made by V. I. Lenin. If that wasn't enough, the artist included St. Basil's Cathedral and Lenin in his usual pointing pose. I still kick myself for not bringing a camera with me.
4:30
Ah, that one time the USSR invaded their own puppet state, killing hundreds of civillians even though the country didn't actually defend itself.
Sounds alot like the entire history of US foriegn policy in relation to Central America, how interesting.
Well at least usa's citizens were not mass starving to death
patrikcath they hinderd a western revolution,
Country didn't defend itself but someone killed hundred of soldiers

I'm confused
I would love to see an Alternate History episode on what would happen if a communist revolution had actually been attempted in America.
Gun owning Patriots would obliterate the ever living fuck out of them before breakfast
10:41 well kinda. but the original idea of it has a moral high ground imo. great video tho!
what did communists use for light before candles?

Why do I see a lot of parallels between the Red Scare then and how we treat "nazis" now? Calling anyone and everyone one, even if they aren't, and having that accusation carry a lot of weight even if unproven? All we need to do is look at Pewdiepie. Not actually a nazi, but labelled as one, and a lot of people are determined to ruin his career.
One big difference. Unlike today were those accused of being "Nazis" rarely are, during the Red Scare there were a sizable amount of ACTUAL COMMUNISTS throughout all sectors of society, most notably Hollywood unions.
Lmfao, the difference is that at the time the people actually lost their career for falls accussations 💀 pwediepie is a multimillionaire, where tf did he loose anything.
Actually the American ruling class first became scared of communism with the Great Railway strike of 1877. They saw it as another attempt at a Paris commune.
Replace *red* with *racist* and you get the same kind of witchhunts except playing out between blue checkmarks on twatter.
I think someone has one way trip to gulag waiting... (good luck fleeing from the spies Cody)
Funny how we look back at the 2nd Red Scare and the Hollywood 10, yet don't even consider what's going on (whether it's true or not) in Hollywood (and really anything) to be the same, just with a different label attached instead of Communist.
History and being doomed to repeat it after all.
This is helping me get ready for my Social Studies test, thanks!
If you think about it, the red scare is just the early cancel culture
Russia's First Atomic Test (August 29, 1949) and the People's Republic of China's founding (October 1, 1949) were in the same year. Admittedly Tibet fought on into 1951 with an uprising in 1959 but the Chinese Civil War essentially ended in December of 1949 when Chang Kaishek retreated to Taiwan (although technically the Chinese Civil War like the Korean war is not over).
10:34 lol, I get it.
Clifford the Commie?
Neath
No. Ever heard the song I “think my Dog is a Democrat”?
Basically you pay for its healthcare, you provide its food, its housing, its exercise, and it just mooches off of you.
Similar to how communism and socialist governments in general work.
Ah, yes I've heard of that song, personally I'd just like to see Cliffords house be covered in communist propaganda
Neath
That would be funny lol

No, at least a dog shows gratitude for everything you give him. A democrat is more like a cat: feed it, give it a home, and it craps on you shoes.
When we feared a communist takeover? Pretty much every second since the first red scare...
4:15 - maybe not bffs but more like frenemies perhaps
9:11I like the background music
