Thank you for this channel! I'm a British student doing A levels while not being able to go to school - your videos may just get me the grades I need to go to university

[@comteroi9219]

You could do a lot better than University. If you can, go for an Apprenticeship, unless you're extremely smart, got quite a bit of experience, very sociable, and your family/you have lots of connections in industry. < You'll need most of these, plus lots, and I mean lots of luck, to get onto a graduate scheme. Some subjects are very tailored to those with families/individuals who have quite a bit of income. Take International Relations for starters. Unless you are semi wealthy, you will probably not get a career in that field, unless you're extremely lucky in getting a foreign office CS grad scheme (I believe the acceptance rate for that is 0.2% of applicants). Another route is, unfortunately, unpaid internships, all of which are either at Geneva, London, Washington, or New York. Unpaid. Yeah, no poor student will ever get an internship there, especially as most firms require full-time work. Your chance of getting a job at the EU is naught now. The chance of getting one at the UN or NATO is down to two factors: Connections, usually a family member, or experience, usually from internships. You see where I'm getting at. If you are relatively poor and going for IR then don't, just go to your local library or Amazon and buy a few IR books. Then again, the chances of you thinking about studying IR are slim. History is useful, but, except for being able to write and present clearly, have very little application to the real world of work, unless you want to become a history teacher. Teaching, Engineering, Science, and other STEM subjects are the only real chance of gaining employment after uni. Humanities etc. yeah, you may get a job but the chance of you getting a job you want related to your field is extremely slim. Luck plays a huge part. You'll probably end up being overqualified for the job you eventually do, like simple office work. After grad you won't be legible for an apprenticeship either, which can set you back. Essentially, unless you study STEM, or you're one of the lucky ones/go into teaching, you'll more than likely become an overqualified, unskilled worker. That's what you get with qualification inflation. BAs mean nothing now. The amount of people who have them is ludicrously high. That's an excellent thing for the universities, but employers are bombarded with applications from grads with only a BA to show for it. Of course, academic qualifications are excellent if you want to get into academic teaching. All you need is a BA, an MA, a PhD, and some teaching experience, but you'll definitely be fighting over position with other junior lecturers who want that full-time contract just as much as you. Or you can go the other route and just go to uni to have a good time, and learn a subject you're interested about, and have no real career aspirations. Otherwise, go to college, get a trade, or get an apprenticeship. The thing you need most, however, is the thing Napoleon craved among his commanders: Luck.

That's the most important part of education. What you're directed towards; forced to learn, is never the whole story. These people who treat history like a study guide will be damned to repeat it.

[@jcsurge858]

it's not uncommon to find anti-Stalin teachers, but good job on being pretty accurate about Stalin. You mentioned that all farms were owned by the state, this is almost true. However farmers were given a fairly large portion of land for personal use, and the kulaks resisted the policy of Stalin while Russia was experiencing a famine. Kulaks were sent to death because after refusing to give up land they burned their own crops.

[@ChristopherSaindon]

People we're sent to death because some NKVD clown heard from someone else that heard from someone else that (insert any one of the millions of names..people executed for NOTHING) didn't like Stalin. He never needed a reason.

[@justinjakimiak1998]

and that justifies the fate of the kulaks?

No! Nothing does.

[@KaraCarsafliGelin]

the invasion of the USSR by the armies of a dozen other countries was the main cause of the economic disaster during and right after civil war.There was no manmade famine whatsoever. And for the rise of Germany the western powers have a lot to answer. By the way Kulaks didnt just sit and cry.Their brutal backlash against the farmers those who has joined to the kolkhozes,burning and the lootings of their properties,assasinations and assasinations on regional officials,sabotages on kolkhozes ... All these aggressions forced soviets to take serious measures against them.IMO Kolyma was too merciful for those bastards.

[@mikemurray2027]

The idea that there was a 'man-made' famine, when you come right down to it, was dreamt up by Ukrainian Nazis and anti-semites.

[@JohnKobaRuddy]

@@mikemurray2027 yep and William Randolph Hearst of yellow press infamy. I also have many telegrams from Stalin to kosior in Ukraine about the famine dispelling many myths

[@mikemurray2027]

@@JohnKobaRuddy The maddening thing is that the causes of the famine were well known at the time...because the Ukrainian nationalists boasted how they had spent two years murdering communists, wrecking harvests and slaughtering animals in an attempt to bring famine to the USSR and bring about the fall of the government. The head of the Ukrainian nationalist govt in the civil war wrote a book about how he and his collaborators had gone about their work, how they had made sure the govt had been unable to create grain reserves because of their action. This is quoted in the Webb's 'Soviet Communism, a New Civilisation'.

Good evening, may I ask questions if possible..?

[@mikemurray2027]

Alex Nove points out that the end of the NEP was demanded by all factions. Not 'Stalin'. Five year plans came about after extensive policy discussions inside the USSR, about how to solve the fundamental problem of how to grow industry when food supplies depended on semi-feudal, family farmers more interested in profiting from shortage than supplying the cities, and how to drag agriculture out of feudalism without advanced industry supply tractors and everything else needed for productive, modern agriculture.

I'm not here for any school assignment I'm literally here just for my own seeking of knowledge of totalitarian regimes.

[@samebar]

Kinda......an over..simplification there Paul and you left out some major parts.that kinda..change the whole story chief. Large % of the land was owned initially by the peasants who claimed bad harvests to the produce tax collectors. Peasants sold their produce to middle men who charged townspeople extortionate prices. When Stalin sent the army to collect taxes peasants rather burned their surplus than give it up. Stalin then ordered the land of those landowning peasants to be collectivized which led to armed resistance from land owning peasants all over the Soviet Union....only since there was no mass media news of defeats took a long time to get through and the peasants weren't discouraged from resisting so it got very bloody. Economic sanctions played a major part in the poverty of the Soviet Union.....imports and exports were blocked and the country had to go entirely self reliant......Something Western Historians keen to classify Communism a failure, love to ignore. Stalin could see Hitler coming to the forefront in the late 20's and Stalin knew the push was going to come from Germany, as it did. By 1941 he's got the Soviet Union to a point where it was nearly ready (a monumental achievement) and what of his alliance with the West? The Brits holed up on their island making blind radar-less public face saving bombing raids on the Nazis. Stalin called for a second front while Monty played silly buggers with Romell in the deserts of North Africa while Churchill sent a few ships off Norway which mostly didn't get any supplies to Stalin.....a token show merely. Hitler loses over 75% of his war effort in the Soviet Union and only when he is routed and the German army are in full scale retreat to the Farti land do the Brits and Yanks decide to show their face on the beaches of Normandy before the Russians win the whole war single handed. Japan were ready to surrender to the Soviet Union when the Americans decided to genocide two cities and commit the greatest war crime ever. Yet the monster in this whole Story appears to be.....Stalin? There's something wrong with this picture and dick-heads like you are restoring it over and over. You should aaa.......be kinda.....ashamed of yourself.....shouldn't you?
