}QUOTE REF HONECKER GOES: EAST BERLIN. East German leader Erich Honecker
GS23108910 was deposed on 18 October and replaced by Politburo member
23.10.89 Egon Krenz, another hardline Communist who wants no truck
with capitalism or opposition parties. Six years ago, Krenz,
the son of a tailor, became the youngest member of the
Politburo, where he has been in charge of security. Most
observers saw him as the natural successor, groomed by
Honecker in his own image, that of a staunch and orthodox
Stalinist. Date Shot: 18/19.10.89

The beginning of the end was not the deposition of Erich Honecker. It was either Gorbachev coming to power in 1985, or the start of strikes by the Solidarity trade union in Gdańsk in Poland in 1981.

What is the point of putting German subtitles when, German is being spoken on the video. I thought the whole point of having subtitles was to translate into other Languages,
it is not at all an uncommon or strange thing to have subtitles in the same language as the audio
Deaf people exist you know.
No, you thought wrong idiot. Subtitles are for people who have problems hearing, or are you too thick headed to have figured that out yet? I rely on them being correct. "What's the point" think only of yourself much??
@@declannewton2556 huh?
@@mt_gox
The subtitles were originally placed with German speakers in mind. Or for that matter, any German speaker who couldn't hear it or didn't have the audio.
But it was not made for people of other languages to understand.
Could AP or anybody provide the proper translation rather than the CZcams one? I'm trying my best to learn German but it isn't that proficient.
It says, "One dumb shit replaced by another"
@@Ekatjam blasphemy against the communist party will not be tolerated
Duolingo may help you. Also just talking with some Germans is much better
@@psychotic.reaction Filthy communists. Your socialist wet dreams killed millions!
@@mr.metamovies2419 I think you’re referring to Capitalism.
Look how they massacred my boy
It was important to promote German language and therefore Russian. The world has to catch up.
We miss DDR
Filthy communists!
@@mr.metamovies2419 seethe harder
No, we really don't.
@@slickrick2420 Then I suppose they enjoyed the secret police and being tortured in prison for questioning the communist party.
@@slickrick2420 Not to mention an inefficient energy system, outdated automobiles, high suicide rates, a lack of women's hygiene products, poor quality health care, censored art, censored journalism, rationing food, regulating religious practice, and so on.
A real tragedy for the international working class.
@Movies There is no arguing with the snowflake idealist, they live in a fantasy world where all joy is destroyed and the State is God.
Bolshevik Cosmonaut Fuck you. Gorbachev himself referred to him as a scumbag behind closed doors. He was a hard-line Stalinist who deserved way worse than what he got. What a fucking scumbag he was.
@Movies Funny because you haven't read a single Post-Soviet poll. Most people say life under the USSR was better.
Likewise, you also don't come from a country where brutal capitalist exploitation was a thing
@@MexicanBandit Gorbachev didn't like him? wtf I love Honecker now
@@namanmakkar7106 and why should your opinion matter? You are obviously speaking out of your ass
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I am remembering some Cold War stuff from when I was like 10. It was the first thing I remember happening 'in the world outside'.
liberation of ukraine
Slava Ukraini!!
Krenz wanted no change? Seriously?
Yes. He wanted to preserve Socialism and stay true to Marxism, unlike revisionist traitors in the USSR. that's what honecker wanted too.
It was too late by 1989 anyway. Liberalism had won. First it destroyed communism, now it is destroying capitalism and conservatism.
@@dingdong7610 Liberalism, Conservatism, and Capitalism are all the same thing lol
@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 no they aren't. Is conservatism an economic system?
@@dingdong7610 In the eyes of communists everything that isn't socialism is automatically some stage of capitalism.
That's how they made the disastrous decision to support a lot of the Nazis legislation in the Reichstag in the early 1930s: they decided the Nazis were the final stage of capitalism, and therefore helping them enact their legislation would hasten the "inevitable" (in their eyes) demise of capitalism. Of course the communists ended up paying for this dumbfuckery with their lives once the Nazis were in full control.
RIP
Yeah! Rot In Pain!
@@mohdadeeb1829 Honecker was a hero. He will be remembered as such
@@Imaweaverboy
Communists are scums
@@Imaweaverboy you mean the hero ( criminal) that FLED the GDR to Chile and died with the rest of the heroes ( criminals) that fled to South America ? Ok got it
@@victorseger6044 Even putting aside the fact that the trials were purely political and punitive, he only left after charges were dropped due to his failing health. His family were in Chile so he wanted to be with them in the end

LONG LIVE THE LEGACY OF COMRADE ERICH HONECKER
"Vorwärts immer, rückwärts nimmer" und "Den Sozialismus in seinem Lauf hält weder Ochs noch Esel auf, wird bleiben.
Can the many dead say the same? The hundreds of people that were mistreated, starved and brutally beaten by the Stasi? Honecker was aware of all that and did nothing to stop it. Erich Honecker is nothing but an idiot hiding behind the wall while blood is being spilled. He supported the massacres in China's Tianamen square
People baj
Based this "hardline communist" reformer. Sounds like he adheres to our ideals of freedom and such. And relatively based the "orthodox Stalinist."
Responsible for so much pain and suffering and to your own people. . . What a horrible man.
Lies
Dictators have a way of not caring about other people. It's very helpful when you have to have people killed or thrown in prison. Also in getting to the top.

@@brianwalsh1401 George W. Bush and Tony Blair murdered 3 million Iraqis, Blair said that God told him to help the US war machine to illegaly invade Iraq, Madeline Albright state secretary said that 500,000 Iraqi children dying due to genocidal sanctions was worth it.
Winston Churchill murdered 4 Bangladeshis by a preventable famine and Harry S. Truman dropped 2 nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing civilians. Also Churchill praised Benito Mussolini and his political views are similar to Adolf Hitler.
So tell me who really is the bloody tyrant here and a rogue state?
Lol I can't understand German
He was poisoned?! = gott zeit dank !
