I wonder if he did a third one on the Fascist Architecture of Mussolini?
This was filmed in 1994 when the Russians had just thrown communism and had
no idea where they were going. Nearly two decades later they have found
their feet again.

I waited to the end to catch the date as i wasn’t sure and, not seeing it i
just assumed. I enjoyed his wit and architectural knowledge and the sight
of Stalin fertilising the fields will long stay with me.

Thats ok however there are a few give aways at the end. For example BBC
Four didn’t exist back then. Also If you look closely the footage of
protests at the end are Anti Putin and Putin was unknown until at least 99
when he became PM under Yeltsin. Also some of those protesters aren’t from
the CPRF but the National Bolshevist movement a crackpot Russian version of
the Nazi party, and they didn’t come onto the seen until after 2000. I
agree he has a way of interesting you in what he’s saying.

I frizzled at 0:26! That wasn’t poetry. That was magic. It’s surreal and
yet it makes complete sense.

Where?

Yeah lets have nice arty buildings – while the “idiots and illiterates”
live like pigs. FUCK architecture and fuck him.

Stalin did not systematically try to eliminate homosexuals like Himmler.
There’s no equivalence between Hitler and Stalin. This is just western
bullshit. And America and Britain murdered primitive people – the likes of
which Stalin protected – polar opposites if anything. The only equivalence
is Stalin killed a lot of people and so did Hitler. But so Abraham Lincoln
killed more Americans than WW1 WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan
put together. Stop being naive.

“America and Britain murdered” – they are still murdering. Murder is
relative – if some slave master is murdered this is far more palatable than
his slaves being murdered. History will eventually revise its opinion of
Stalin because he was killing the right people for the right reasons.
Opposed to Hitler, the British Empire and now America. A little how the
French celebrate their Revolution – because most French people think the
Church and the French nobility got their just desserts.

I don’t think you understand how the world really works. Your humanism is
a bourgeois illusion. You’re just spouting the platitudes you’re spoon-fed
in the media. If democracy could change anything they’d only get rid of it.
If Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal elect left-wing parties – watch the
tanks roll in.

Well on your channel page you claim you believe in social justice.So what
position do you espouse – apart from being anti-Stalinist. How brave of
you. Just like the ponce on this Vid. Keep on Rocking in the Free World.

You’re part of one of these trendy protest movements that really stand for
nothing but protest movements. If you were really on the left you’d never
compare Stalin to Hitler. Unless of course you’re Trot or an anarchist.

You didn’t bother to watch the video before commenting did you?

Well there’s a couple calling him gay and fantasizing about his execution,
does that count?

Interesting, but unfortunately marred by the idiotic Marx = USSR fallacy.

So why does he mention that we were hand in glove with the nazis? We all
pretty much know about it, so why rub it in our faces?
July 14, 2014 @ 6:30 am
I like his humour, People needed to relax and see his cynical look is not
directed but general at everything
July 14, 2014 @ 9:23 pm
Utter British posh upper class tripe ! This moron knows nothing of *real*l
ife in the USSR or the love of the great Stalin that 100’s of millions
had.He also uses western lies about him killing millions which is total
rubbish perpetrated by rich US and UK liars such as Robert Conquest. Stalin
and the Bolesheviks increased life expectancy greatly as well as providing
free health care to all and taking a completely illiteracy country in to
being a superpower within 30 odd year. A feat never parralleled before or
since and defeating the Nazis, the British, the USA and the Japanese as
well as the White Russians. He is a god and a hero to the most egalitarian
and free workers state that would ever exist.

He is a UK liar and apologist who will say nothing of the UK being at war
*continuously* for 100 years,the UK that murdered over 20 million Indians
in 3 famines at the end of the 19th century, the UK and capitalism that
brought the poor and the workers 2 world wars and 100 million dead, the UK
that built *all* it’s wealth,institutions and great cities on 300 years of
the trans-atlantic slave trade that would murder countless Black men,women
and children and put many more to death as slaves. The UK that is built on
war,slavery,genocide,robbery,plunder,extermination,mass murder and total
exploitation.

Meades you are a total poncey little lying English Royal arse licking cunt
of a specimen.

We have holocaust deniers now we have Stalinist Marxist deniers.
But the Stalinist’s are ok with it because it was the west painting a false
picture of the torture genocide and deathcamps it was a falsehood.
Horrible bastards should be under the same scrutiny as Nazi holocaust
deniers.

Putin is the new Stalin. How many millions will he murder to stay in
power?
