Socialism Has Never Worked?

Based off of the great VN (unitedchans.org/socialism-has-never-worked/) which took inspiration from our very own OC, I've finally finished my video going through all the times socialism has been implemented and worked.

I don't have time to watch it now, but if true good work comrade but if you're rusing me then shameful display, bourgeois

I'll watch it after I finish reading some more essays fam

Well you can dip in and out, watching a couple 2.5 min clips when you get time, instead of watching it in one sitting.

This a pretty good way to educate people about Socialism, but there is one grip I have with it. I think that critiques of these societies need to be addressed somehow… I think it is important to make sure that people don't all of the sudden find things like this jim.com/cat/blood.htm and then decide that Socialism in every form equals Authoritarianism despite the many problems with the essay as pointed out here anarchism.pageabode.com/anarcho/blood.html.

what about Nicaragua fam?

also the quality of your videos has apparently drastically increased since I last watched one

can the timestamps be put into the description?

The original source material seemed to be terrified of mentioning North Korea, the USSR, or China in a positive light but I have high hopes for your vid.

Rightfully so

nobody is going to watch this shit

There's nothing wrong with acknowledging whatever they got right rather than knee-jerking to "they were the bads", but keep in mind this is probably meant to be propaganda. Best to keep things as uncontroversial and simplistic as possible.

Lets see…
True Korea became a paranoid hellhole that uses siberia to gulag people that dear to think, because of war.
USSR collapsed because Stalin Ruined Everything
China was always shit.

NEXT!

Giving into right-wing propaganda about these states is also dangerous; they are all the obviously most successful of "socialist" (tankie type but whateves) states. Praising all these other failed states that are either weak or non-existent today can reinforce the conviction that socialism doesn't work. If someone asked about the achievements of liberal capitalism, I can point to the wildly "successful" United States. I know this is intro level stuff for normies but still.

Nice m8. I was looking forward to this.

Yeah, but it really was a good idea to leave them out. As the other user said, this is supposed to be for propaganda. If you mentioned those societies to normal people, they'd fucking freak out.

This is really the worst approach we can have to the question of failed socialist systems.

Nice vid fag

Was even missing in the original VN
Shame

It's a good first step, but propaganda has to convince people that the USSR etc weren't literal dungeons ruled by Satan.

props

As much as I like the content, would it have killed him to research the pronunciation of some of the words in that video?

It's jarring to hear him say "Marsell" or "Bavarria", you'd think a guy as well read as him would know how to pronounce the names of these places, it's especially amusing as he has a upper middle class accent, the prevailing stereotype suggests he would fluently get these pronunciations right.

This
Nice work tho

Tell me about Josip Broz, was the country more or less wealthy afterwards?

Yugoslavia got ruined, but it wasn't market socialism or titos fault

It was Tito's fault in as much as he made the gargantuan mistake of trusting the IMF. God only knows what possessed him to do it. I mean he evaded Nazi death squads every other wednesday, yet managed to miss the biggest one.
