Worker unions on the other hand, employed mobsters to protect them against those armed thugs. Then there was the Bonus Army, army veterans who demanded their bonuses earlier because of the hard time they had hit and they marched en masse to Washington D.C. in late July 1932. The American government responded by ordering the army to evacuate the protesting veterans' camp with tanks and armed soldiers. Officially, two were killed and fifty five wounded, though the numbers may have been suppressed also.

[@WillN2Go1]

​@@cezarcatalin1406 Good point. The most powerful tool of control is ignorance. The 'Culture War' is imaginary. (Supposedly I'm on one side of it, but I don't agree with most of what 'my side' thinks, yet we get along. The real 'War' is truth against ignorance. People who accept what is true still have myriad ways of thinking about it. The ignorant have replaced thinking with triggers.) In the U.S. we have an under and middle class that have more weapons that most armies in the world, more attitude and aggression than most countries in full revolt and declining standards of living for these people: they are more overweight, less healthy, chronic pain, shorter life expectancy, less opportunity and they know it. But what do they do? Worship Trump (who thinks they're disgusting), spend countless hours worrying about imaginary conspiracies (Q-Anon, believe Covid is fake - though their communities are impacted more than others because people who have been vaccinated (Trump, Fox News) tell them they shouldn't be, and when they do turn violent it's more than likely inward: most gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides, violence is domestic- against women and children, or random - against coworkers, other drivers, petty beefs - shooting a neighbor.) One classic problem of dictatorships was cited in the KGB reports. "We're told the BBC is spreading false propaganda, but then it turns out to be true." The truth is the most powerful tool for everything - except when you want to keep other people repressed. So what do you do about Americans and Brits who have access to any source of information they want? In America you feed them conspiracies, in the U.K. you rely on deep seated feelings of inferiority. When someone says, "The poshes think they're better'n us," they're actually embracing this. In the UK I'd have been a chave, "We don't need no education." In the U.S. I had to wade out of ignorant nonsense, but I quickly saw that the most subversive thing I could do is embrace reality. What no American (or Brit) can probably even imagine is that there is plenty of wealth to go around. No one should be poor, there is absolutely no societal benefit from poverty. Want to make your country wealthy? Guarantee a middle class life style to everyone. The mega-wealthy will have to pay taxes. I pay more taxes then Jeff Bezos or Amazon. How does that make any sense? (In Woody Allen's Bananas his character found himself in charge of a Latin American revolution, he announced that they would be like Sweden (and the national language would then be Swedish) - in the joke is some truth. Strong men arrive and say, "We will be a powerful nation!" and then they steal everything they can ('Marxist' Daniel Ortega?) How about a revolution who's goal is, "We will be like the Netherlands!" Turkey wants to be in the EU, but their dictator doesn't want to be like the EU.

Not at all surprised. Lenin did the same with the Kronstadt rebellion back in the 1920's.

As Andrew Ryan said: "Same lie, different liar"...

[@erfgtdsfsdf6993]

Commies never liked workers, most of original communists in Russia (involving Lenin himself) were red intellectuals who despised of working class - as Solzhenitsyn pointed out well in his Gulag Archipelago. You can see where this evolved in North Korea - country is led by group of bureaucrats (roughly 10% of population) who live well and occupy themselves mostly with governing the rest of 90% population whom they dispise as garbage and second (if not third) class citizens (as sad by NK refugees in South Korea). Thats basicly how Orwell described all of these communist regimes. I guess thats what Chruschov meant by "real communism".

[@shlomomarkman6374]

This incident had significant repercussions that influenced the economic policies till the fall of USSR and contributed to the fall. The incident caused the central planners to be very reluctant in raising prices creating some form of social contract in which prices should be frozen at all cost. That fact doomed any reform to failure as raising wages only increased the shortages, there could also be no incentive to raise production of non-military goods including food. Gradually over the years the lines got longer and stores emptier while prices remained constant, petrodollars covered some of the difference till 1986, then there was a Venezuela style situation since the winter of 89-90 that was one of the causes of the final collapse.

It's "Dear, Comrades" from 2020. I can recommend it.

Yes, the US had their own political protests in the 60s. Yes, the US occupied major cities with the National Guard. Detroit is one example. The difference is the US had a free press and it covered these events in a way that did not protect those in power.

[@scottsanders5821]

This series is extremely informative and much needed here in the US. However I am still not used to the tight closeup angle in which the host is not looking into the camera. It sort of seems like a disjointed "floating" head. If you want to offer an alternative shot to break things up, you might instead use a medium shot from a second angle and at an appropriate moment, dissolve to it from the long master shot as the host shifts his gaze into the 2nd camera. Do svidaniya!

[@martkbanjoboy8853]

It fits. He is talking about the world of 1945-1992ish. His set & the low definition vid quality is appropriate.

I wonder how ANYBODY can still think centralized economic planning to be superior to free market, whatever their shortcomings may be

[@anarchteacher]

This concise film documents the little known populist uprisings in the USSR in mid 1962 resulting in widespread societal disruptions and disenchantment with living conditions. Because of the absence of a market pricing system of profit and loss, centrally planned socialism cannot calculate and function as a viable, productive economic system. The Soviet government could not guarantee basic services to the people. These events occurred several months before the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 where Khrushchev lost prestige and was forced to remove the missiles installed there. Interesting to speculate how they may have contributed to Khrushchev’s eventual ouster as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and as chairman of the country’s Council of Ministers in 1964.

I was wondering if you could cover the black market dealing in foreign currency and Western consumer goods that was common in the Soviet Union (the subject of the Netflix series Farsa). My grandfather grew up in the USSR in the 50s and 60s, and he remembers how his childhood best friend's father went to prison and died there for supposedly possessing foreign currency.

[@Ashi8No8Yubi]

Governments ruled by people with a lack on morality, empathy and humility will be a plague on this earth until the end. Socialism is not conducive towards freedom, but even democracy can be terrible if the people have none of these traits. If people can't learn to accept and love unconditionally and follow basic humane precepts, this kind of sufferering will never end.

Tell me what government cares about their people your telling me theirs rich politicians that care about their citizens then your delusional every government in this world is corrupt just some more corrupt then others politicians just act like they care to get some votes deep inside They look at you and think your a stupid peasant and they make a bunch of false promises just to get your votes and stupid people still keep on voting.
