"This is not wide spread knowledge" Jordan Peterson on Soviet History

to see the full lecture go to • 2017 Personality 13: E...
In this lecture, he explores the dreadful socio-political consequences of the individual inauthentic life:
the degeneration of society into nihilism or totalitarianism, often of the most murderous sort, employing as an example the work/death camps of the Soviet Union.
Buy The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It is arguably the most important book of the twentieth century.

    @ololadeabimbola1506 I don't know how schools run in Nigeria, but I would be willing to guess it is ver different from America. In America, history is very diluted and the vast majority of world history, as it relates to American involvement, is heavily painted with a patriot brush. Important events and people are left out unless it fits the narrative. For example, all throught out my schooling, slavery has been depicted as soley a white vs black issue that America had a monopoly over. As we know, however, this issue was prevalent across the globe and often race in itself was not a determinant factor. Most Americans couldn't name 3 historical non white figures that were not American. Our knowledge of geography is pitiful and in some places we have high school graduates that still can not read. While this is not to say that the education system has no merit, I will definitely say that in America, the goal of education is not to educate.

    My grandfather was sent in GULAG for 25+5 Years. Luckily Stalin died and he got out after 5 years. Only reason why he survived is was because he studied to be a doctor in university before sent there and he became doctor of the other prisoners. Otherwise he would have died in freezing cold slavework in Sibera. Reason why he was centenced 30 years in prison was - "political immaturity". My family still has the document stating that!

This helped me see beyond what my college professors tried to preach about Communism. But, there was one other teacher (in college) which helped by assigning "Anthem" by Ayn Rand which made me appreciate the inportance of the individual vs the collective. Then I read 1984, I began to really read the constitution and to understand how it is supposed to protect individual and, why it is so necessary to Question and stand up to those who wish to usurp it.

    I am a professor of philosophy at a small university in Mexico. In my philosophy of science class, we reviewed Lysenko's ideological control over science, which represented a severe delay in the development of Soviet science. In other classes, I also mention the genocides under Stalin and Mao, as a consequence of the aims of Marxism. Sadly, few students are impressed by these facts. Most of the professors at the faculty are Marxists or sympathize with this ideology. And they are usually the most popular teachers among students. Actually, the vast majority of public universities in Latin America are infested with radical leftists, who with their simplistic rhetoric easily persuade students. These teachers preach that the "system" must be destroyed, even though they themselves have jobs in the public school (most of them are senior professors), and that same "system" that they teach to hate provides education to the students. It is pure hypocrisy!

If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins.

The Jews know if the majority of whites that they’ve worked so hard to divide ever find our tribal bond again it’s game over for their goals to control the world.

He gives full credibility to the Hollocaust, which has been pushed on everybody, almost daily. And he sets it equal to the Gulags, which have been shrouded in silence. But, he kfails to draw the connection that both information policies originate from the same interest group. The little detail on who was the most influential political group at the time when all this happened in Russia, and that this group has to this day the stated goal to bring those blessings to Europe and the rest of the world, puts the events of WWII in a completely different light. The amount of publicity he gets it testimony, that he serves the end goal.

Also, it always fails for whatever reason. Sometimes it's fear, sometimes it's a cult of personality ( e g Stalin's one), sometimes it's a movement towards capitalism instead of socialism.

    Thank you Jordan for making this public knowledge and for all your work. I read Ivan Denisovich when I was 16 and followed by reading all of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, I always talk about his work to people who are dissatisfied with life. Profound writer and totally under estimated. My Polish father, mother and grandfather were all in the gulags. They never recovered psychologically and that led me to become a psychotherapist. I know how evil people can act toward 'the other' and when that evil is turned into a system the world increasingly becomes a place of insecurity, threatening and finally of horror. The Russians and Germans did just that and we are still hearing about their terror and tyranny. We are in danger of it happening again as many individual tyrants are using the same psychological bullying against freedom of speech and obliterating history. That is how it all began. Take heed and control yourselves or the social democratic system of brutality through manipulating peoples minds. Know that there is enough food and room for us all and the climate always changes, other than that we are a global community and need to take care of each other even if you have to do more for the other.

This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an uprooted small corner of evil. Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being).

It’s both opened my eyes to the generally overshadowed (by Germany WWII) horror the Russians endured, and helped me more deeply appreciate my own life. What it shows is one perspective on how humanity can be so beautiful, while at the same time incomprehensibly ugly. So ugly as to seem unbelievable, but the Gulag was real and sure as death itself.

To lean right in America, is to ask questions about the effectiveness of the social, political, and economic systems for promoting the good of the individual (private interests). Both sides are valid as long as they can sustain a working relationship that sustainably meets the needs of both concerns.

The American revolution by all accounts was a conservative revolution in the since that the same people running the states remained in charge. Their wasn't hostility towards the establishment other than a king across the Atlantic. I have never seen an academic authority dispute this interpretation. Left wing doesn't inherently carry a propensity toward collectivism, nor does right wing with individualism. That's just how "conservative" and "liberal" in American culture manifested largely due to party positions more than actual theory An example of left wing individualism would be like anarcho communism which wants collective control over economy while having social autonomy, or neo-liberalism which ironically looks like the Republicans current platform. Of course national socialism would be an example of right wing collectivism and I'm certain you could find other examples as well that lean into traditionalism. I would say the consistent difference falls within nature vs nurture. Right wing being more inclined towards nature and left wingers using the latter. This means the right wing mindset says that people make institutions good or bad thus producing a good or bad society, where as the left wing view would be that institutions make people good or bad thus producing a good or bad society. The left wing authoritarian seeks to control the means of production (factories and land). While the right wing authoritarian seeks to control the means of reproduction (babies). All other positions stem from that fundamental difference.

My prize was a coupon to a small, local independent bookstore worth about $10. With that coupon I bought One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and R.V. Rieu's translation of The Iliad. Both books are long gone, but I did manage to read the Solzhenitsyn one; found it totally absorbing and fascinating.

I also remember my Grandfather saying it was so cold in Siberia that when the trees imploded due to the cold it sounded like cannons going off.

    Something we should all remember: “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

So you murder millions by arranging for them to freeze to death, apologists will whine that you didn't kill anybody. There is a much smaller replay of that going on in the U.S. right now where there is an epidemic of suicide and drug addiction among those formerly employed in manufacturing, formerly middle class. But we don't call those deaths murder by the wealthy who exported those jobs, we smugly put the blame on the victims for "personal failings".

    Aristotle once said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." If you're reading, at least entertain this thought and understand I give good reason to it below. If you dismiss it after entertaining it, that's ok. But I'm not a hateful person; I don't believe in white supremacy, and I don't want genocide. If you read my above post, I explain why hitler didn't either... So I believe those were just labor camps. That's it. The "proof" was fabricated and you were indoctrinated into not ever questioning it and to believe anyone who did was blindly hateful and racist. KEEP READING BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, YOU PROBABLY WILL BY THE END OF THIS. Every point I brought up, you ignored like you were told to from a young age (5th or 6th grade, right?). If you look into Hitler's actual motives instead of blindly assuming he was super-evil, the story of the holocaust just doesn't make any sense. And it's even more suspicious when you realize Hitler, though definitely hateful and dehumanizing to jews, was absolutely right about zionism. Learn about the jewish religion and you'll notice that jews that are born jewish are told to only marry other jews that were born jewish. Judaism is a religion and ideology based on keeping a bloodline. Their ideology also tells them to be undyingly loyal to other jews. In addition to all this, they have an advantage of being a minority. They don't have to be "evil" to be dominant with these strategical advantages. Unfortunately, the side-effect of unregulated capitalism is a slowly more materialistic, disgusting, unhealthy society that decimates family values completely in exchange for individualist, determinist, marxist philosophy. The brilliant idea that judaism teaches is that human beings have an inner animal that must be kept in check at all costs. It is the responsibility of human beings to keep this animal in check. Well, the problem with this is that people without that ideology to guide them are stupid and lost. They'll eat whatever sounds good. They'll do whatever they feel like if they see other people doing it and not dying. And smart successful businessmen/zionists know how to appeal to these animals; give them the slop. The animals eat, and the businessmen become rich. Not just food, but everything. Society will (and has) become more sexual because, when the option is presented to people, people will chose to be more sexual than they need to be. Zionists see no problem with putting that temptation in front of people. But over time, it leads to the collapse of the family structure and to the collapse of society itself; low birth rates and too much violence. Everything goes south. Think.. If I said lizard people are in charge of the world, you'd have dismissed me as crazy and laughed. If I said the illuminati are in charge of the world, I'm also just crazy. These are somewhat popular theories, but people still think an actual elitist class would let them become well-known in the first place, much less letting people consider them without any deterrent. But do you know what theory is NOT popular? The one I'm telling you. Not only is it not popular, it is socially shamed and even banned in some places. Now riddle me this, what response to me, assuming (at least hypothetically) I'm right about who they are, would be in their best interests? That I'm crazy, stupid, and should be allowed to entertain people with my theories and how dumb they are (illuminati youtube videos are everywhere)? Or do you think they'd want you to say I'm evil and racist and shut me down entirely? Shut off your brain, he's a nazi guys. If I were an elite, I think I'd rather have that response to people bringing up the notion that I was in charge. Otherwise, the idea might actually resonate and spread. And that's why they lied to you. As an impressionable child. They're executives; they're producers; they're our wealthiest. They're raised very well and set up to succeed, and they're the one race that is the absolute most loyal to their people. And no one calls them racist for it. Society is filled with animals that eat slop; and they're more than willing to let society fall to make their money off those animalistic instincts. It's not their society. They're not all like this; a lot are clueless and just nice religious kids growing up to be good people, but a minority of them are absolutely contributing to society's downfall. If you want to learn more about hitler's story, google "the greatest story never told" and watch it. Again, don't buy into everything blindly. But don't dismiss everything blindly just because you were told to.

It happened in my country too, not to such big extent as in Ukraine bcuz population there was way bigger but I imagine the process was similar. All the food or grains or anything comestible was taken away from people in exchange for some stupid excuses, after which that food was gathered in deposits and left there to root. Just for the sake of it. It wasn't transported to front lines or other poor regions of USSR it was just left there (tons and tons) where's people where dieing of starvation and had episodes of cannibalism. I can't describe to the full extent what happened there but so you know, people who suffered this where better off working in Nazis working camps than being "set free" by the same type of "government" who intentionally set its own population to starve to death.

    I, sir, can tell you that I am aware of this history only because my grandparents spent 5 years in Stalin's hard labour camps. They faced starvation and death daily. They were just humble farmers in Romania who had fled from their German roots because of Hitler. I have seen the poor farm house my father grew up in as my grandparents took me there in 1981. My father was the blacksmith on their farm and though poor they had land, animals, farming equipment, and 2 sons to help out. That is until Stalin stole their land, their animals, and their home. They were thrown into his hard labour camps in Siberia while my father and my uncle managed to flee to Canada. My Dad ended up marrying into a wealthy family and somehow they managed to pay my grandparents' way out of Stalin's hands and they were freed to come to Canada. I learned much from my family history and did study the Bolshevik Revolution and the history of Russia very much. My grandparents were blessed to make it out alive.

The whole “Hitler wanting to conquer land in the east to wipe out inferior races” story is a load of crap. The Soviets were planning an all out assault on Europe, Stalin was cheated of that chance when Germany annihilated France in 6 weeks. So Germany invaded first as they saw the fight was inevitable and the Soviets had infinite resources they could take their time. The Germans saw themselves as defending European civilisation, and they weren’t wrong.

The Soviet Union was very anti-religion and atheistic, so suppressed the Priests brutally.

    Julie: No doubt. In college, my best friend had defected from the USSR. She was a translator for a joint nuclear reactor project with the US & when she defected it was exactly like you see in the movies. Russia had rented a bunch of appts in the same complex I lived in. That's how I met my friend. Anyways, they rented those appts because they all faced inside, towards a courtyard & there were only 2 entrances with a big wall around the complex. It was easy for security & they had guards posted at each exit. The Russians working on that project were basically prisoners. They were allowed to go to the courtyard area with the pool & the workout area but they were not free to leave the complex. Every morning when they left for work, they were lined up for roll call & walked out in a line to a bus with blacked out windows. Anyways, my friend escaped by climbing out the back of a 3rd floor appt & climbed over the wall at 2:30 AM. When the guards saw the sheets hanging out her window they had an entire security force looking for her. They had all the Russians standing outside in their underwear doing a roll call to see who/how many escaped. It was very surreal. After she defected I moved into a different place with her & she was really paranoid that they were still after her. I kinda doubt they were, she was just an interpreter. In the grand scheme of things she wasn't important to the USSR so I can't imagine they were still after her after she defected but maybe I was naive. Maybe they would have done something to her to make her an example for the others that may be thinking of escaping. It's kind of funny now but she ended up defecting just a few months before the USSR collapsed & she could have just walked away. She did quit worrying after the collapse but she has nearly endless stories of the hardships of growing up in the USSR.

The time of transition in Russia of the late 1910s and early 1920s from mercantilism and feudalism over to socialism after the communist revolution was far more disruptive and economically disastrous than Russia's transition to prosperity in the 1990s. You must look at the end result; Russia after the establishment of socialism was a miserable place characterized by starvation and murderous oppression; but with capitalism today, Russians eat well, and have the goods and services that make for higher standards of living.

It was named Kyshtym disaster because the name and location of the actual nuclear facility was a state secret (it was a "closed" city), so the name of the nearest non-classified city Kyshtym was used.
