@Hunter Anderson I don't know if you ever thought of this but there are lots of different factors in people's lives. Depending on where you live the cost of living is different. Some people have kids, some people, have medical expenses, if you're making min wage or barely above it i really doubt you're in as good a shape financially as you let on unless there are some circumstances you're not saying.

In the west those who study & work hard live like kings . And unlike in USSR, there are no shortages of every basic product. And all that free stuff was facilitated by robbing the people of nearly their entire salaries , which is partly why USSR’s living standards were so far below capitalist ones

@@rgsxyz1105 As opposed to the millions in the US who had no access to dental or health care at all. What gets me is that when people compare the US and the USSR they act like there wasn't a huge amount of poverty in the US. Millions of US citizens lacked access to even the most basic services and health care. They assume the experience of the US middle class is universal and completely ignore the tremendous poverty that exists in the US.

And for every Russian who became rich after the fall of the USSR, there’s thousands who lost their healthcare, housing, educational opportunities, etc. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

@@Name-xs2is Firstly, the English language comes from England. And as England colonized many countries, it is a larger language, just like Spanish. The video itself subtitles Russian people so that their reports can be interpreted by people in the West. I speak and write in English because I worked for the BBC as a correspondent in the 90s, translating texts during the Balkan crisis. However, even in the USSR, many people learned English, it was not prohibited! And as I reported, my father was a journalist and he was also fluent in English and German.

@@Name-xs2is In fact, I could return your provocation. Why did you write in Russian, if it was clear to me that it is not your native language.

@@midomen100 I understand. Yes, they didn't have much freedom, but the Soviet Union's concern, especially for children, was for us to be stronger, independent of our parents and create responsibility, always aiming for the value of work. Children in Russia today are very lazy and complaining. They need an adult for everything, and there are even young men aged 20 or over who have never worked in their lives out of laziness! The USSR worked on citizens from the day they were born. Always focusing on your talents and abilities at school, whether in science for the space program, or in sports for the Olympics. Today, both in Russia and in the West, you only have value after you turn 18. And many young people are lost, because they were abandoned by the government as children.

@@NostalgicMem0ries and btw, i want to know your opinion about life in the USSR, the good the bad, cuz western media always taught me that soviet people's were "oppressed" especially in the baltic States, of course i agree that there's a lot of Soviet people's were infact oppressed during Stalin era because Stalin was a tyrant monster who only care about himself but the thing is they didn't talk about the good stuff that Stalin brought, building roads,strong economy, hospital and school were everywhere and they're free he dragged the USSR into the 20th century and eventually making the USSR into a superpower, but the one thing i didn't get is why did the western media only talk about oppressive Stalin era even though there's a lot more era that comes after Stalin (Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Gorbachev,etc).

@@sillycommunist1766 could i ask where you from? ill reply to your question tommorow when i have time, but its interesting who is so interested about ussr and baltic states

That is definitely worth contemplating. Ask the people in Czechoslovakia or Ukraine or Chechnya, ask 60% of people from everywhere. Then you'll get your answer.

The 'shortages' are in the West as of the last 6 years and they seem to be headed to Leninism ; ) K

Just like when you ask someone from Wyomyng or Nebraska about federal infrastructure to a New Yorker, Californian, etc. Every country has poor states and cities, and the truth is the USSR gave an overall better quality life to citizens than the countries separately (including Russia)

Also worth noting its hard to seperate people's perspectives of their current lives from when they were children and young people. people everywhere tend to have nostalgia for their youth, you see everywhere and in all times people complaining about the younger generations and how things have gotten worse. Of course when they are children or younger people they are less aware iof the problems, and have their lives ahead of them so this is natural for manyn people

Except that there are interviews of people in rural areas who say similar things about ussr. It maybe that people lived better during ussr.

@@martinwilkinson7939 You missed the point. I'm not here to argue about fascism Vs communism vs capitalism, and if you are looking for it you don't gonna have it. I'm just pointing the similarities of those 2 nations older people recalling their past as the "good old times" independently of the regimen, just that. Even though is dishonest to compare the USSR dimension (different nations) with the Portuguese dimensions (one nation and developing provinces), I can answer that alot of inventions of the soviet union on the fields of science are to be praised as the Portuguese discovery on the field of science also are (although in less quantity of fields, missing spacial or bellic instruments inventions). But considering that your question maybe is a rethoric provocative one, I imagine that you already know about sovietic inventions and value them. The real question is: are you really interested in knowing some Portuguese ones or were you just looking for a time of "internet discussion war"?

@@martinwilkinson7939 Mister as someone from a post soviet country, he is 100% right. none of these elders like it because of the system, in fact where was a boom of anecdote books about soviet system in the 90s, we have boxes of them in our home. They feel nostalgia over order and their youth, for russians wheres this strange imperialistic pride over it also. But they would make fun of soviet leaders and are fully aware how corrupt the system was, even the biggest vatniks would not say they ever believed in communism

@@pppLT19 "as someone from a post Soviet country" like that means your word is law. Zero unemployment, zero homelessness, low inflation, low crime, free education, free healthcare, low rents were all part of the system. Are you saying they didn't like that?

@@martinwilkinson7939 😆 "zero unemployement" "zero homelesness". It was a law to have a job. Under Breznev police would catch people during work hours in the streets and arrest them because everyone were supposed to work. After university/professional school they gave you a place, no matter you liked it or not. Thing which is talked about nearly not enough, is how alchoholism, especially in the countryside rose rapidly during soviet times. Eastern europeans were not "alchoholics" we are stereotyped into being today before soviet era. Many felt aimless in life and depression was not a thing (i know in the west mental health problem recognition faced similar problems, but lets just talk about USSR now) and you had to be crazy or have a strong political opinion to get treatment (adding to homelessnes, one of the main reasons there were no homeless, was because they were being arrested or put into mental facilities if they refused to work, were lonely etc. or maybe actually had mental problems, but soviet system aint exactly known for its symphatetic psychiatric system lol). My thing is, people worked shitty factory jobs massively, because they just had to do it. You could not "just think about what you want in life" theres was no gap years or mental care days. And we just sank that in alchohol until it became part of our culture and we havent healed today. As my fav teacher put it specifically about situation in baltics regarding countryside and alchoholism there: "under Russian empire people served nobility, during independence everyone started to work their own land, selling crops etc. (any old person agrees that these were the happiest times they remember) then the soviets came and took everything from people, forced them into collective farms (+deportations, longest partisan war in european history, just a lot of blood and forcing, people felt like russians just came to take everything from them again, elders have this sentiment to this day) and they did not know how to live, they started drinking, when we became independent again, they were forced to work for themselves again, and many werent able to, so alchoholism rose even more (i swear it sounds almost poetic in Lithuanian). Now to low crime, it was propaganda, oh believe me😆. You cant even imagine the extent of the corruption at all levels of society that existed in USSR, if you think that Us or whatever western country is very corrupt, think again. Not only nomenclature "was more equal than equal", but also doctors, police, basically everyone in the public sector took goods and money and it strongly affects us to this day (especially in health sector, older doctors can specifically ignore you if you dont pay them upfront, it had even resulted in tragedies over the years, thankfully younger generation is different), EVERYONE stole from their jobs, massively. Everyone knew and everyone ignored, i dont even know how to explain this system whose concequences i feel to this day even as an independence child, but we had basically absolutely normalised corruption and kind of came to expect it, and it is a soviet thing, we call it "having soviet mentality". Now free education, free healthcare as far as i know all post soviet countries have it today too and there are many countries in europe which never were soviet yet they have great free education and healthcare systems. "Low rents" thats just lol honestly, you needed to wait for like 10 years to get a shitty apartment, but you also needed to prove your reputation etc.. I know my grandma got party ticket just because she was expecting to get an apartment. (No one believed in the system or ideology, never met a person like that from soviet times, many think about stability they had or just their youth, but no one thinks about how they would want to build communism again, its just an old people anecdote😆). I would love to write more, but i am not really sure you will read even this much. I f you made it to here, feel free to ask futher questions.

These people did not live during the Gulag. Do you even know what it is? This was the name of the penitentiary system for a certain period of time. Name one state that has done without a penitentiary system. For a certain period of time, people were condemned for political reasons. This is bad, no one argues. Most of those convicted were convicted of ordinary felonies. After the collapse of the USSR, on the wave of anti-Soviet propaganda, people began to look in the archives for information about relatives who allegedly suffered from repression. This quickly ceased to be popular, because it is unpleasant to learn that, for example, a great-grandfather was convicted of gang rape.

​@@creepquest бред, дефицит был только в начале 1920 вследствие начала существования страны и восстановление после революции и гражданской войны, 1941-1947 вследствие войны и восстановления после неё, 1960 вследствие изуродованния плановой экономики, и вторую половину 1985 вследствие крушения страны. То есть мы можем смело понять, что дефицит - это следствие каких либо кризисов, в стабильные времена плановая экономика отлично справлялась с обеспечением людей продуктами, более того общеизвестно, что во время так называемого "застоя" плановая экономика была сверх эффективна и даже сформировала в СССР культ потребления.

@@William_Fei Planned economy it is incredibly difficult to build, the most important problem is to nationalize the previously private economy, even in the USSR it took 20 years to transition to socialism. To one degree or another, every socialist country needs a certain period of time where socialism and capitalism will be combined. But the USSR artificially slowed down this process in almost all countries of the socialist bloc, because it wanted to control the economies of all countries so that they would not begin to threaten the USSR itself. countries such as Cuba and North Korea were already ready to move to a full-fledged planned economy, but unfortunately only in 1980, which turned out to be useless because the USSR collapsed, and they simply did not have time to make their economies on their own, they had to roll back to combining socialism and capitalism. In countries such as Vietnam and China, it was not possible to carry out nationalization, but they did not want to be dependent on the USSR, so immediately after their failure they carried out tough capitalist reforms. Perhaps the only countries that managed to build a full-fledged planned economy in parallel with the USSR are Yugoslavia and the GDR, so we can already clearly see that they were ruined not by the economic crisis, but by the political one, because they also suffered because of the collapse of the USSR, lost their main military ally. In the end, do not forget that there are just very bad socialist leaders like Half a Sweat.

In 1947, hundreds of thousands of people died due to starvation. Over 10 million people entered Gulags, forced labour camps, and around 1.2-1.7 million of them died in the camps.

nope, central planning didn't kill it. Central planning was a key to it's effectiveness. Since implementing rapidly some "free market reforms" USSR started going downhill. This started in the 70's. Nowadays Russia is purely capitalistic state, zero similarities with the soviets. Putin is just a traitor, he did nothing for the russian ppl. Ppl like Putin would be decapitated if Lenin was still alive. Also, China doesn't have a "regulated mixed market economy" nor does it have any effectiveness with it. Maybe it did when Xiaoping was around, but nowadays China is 90% capitalism, 10% fake comunism cover, and all that behind a wall of separate internet. Even purely capitalistic US has more socialism in it than China.

СССР это лучшее что было в мире

Because Russians where the big profiteers of the USSR. It was all centered around Russians and Moscow. Ukraine did neither profit well nor did it lose much. So they got stringed along. But the Central Asian parts of the USSR where the big losers. They lived in incredibly poor regions and conditions. Nobody cared about them and their resources got stolen to the max.

Remember america was good for WHITE RICH AMERICANS. Black, Latino, Asian, Arab, Jew, Gay, Transgender, Poor, or any other minority group has been historically repressed by the government. Oppose all forms of government. Anarchy with syndicalist values. For the people.

Even the Soviets treated some of these minority groups better, specifically Afrocentric people. Malcolm X spoke of how living in the USSR was the only time he felt like a person.
