When the USSR fell, plenty of documents were released to the public. People who had spent 10's of years in jail realized that their neighbour or best friend told on them for saying something critical about their government. I'll always remember the story of that mother who thanked her neighbour for taking care of her daughter between age 2 and 19. To later discover that that neighbour ratted on her for criticizing the government. The horror never ends.

I watched it and was not impressed. The "horror stories" don't come from trustworthy sources. Solzhenitsyn, for example, is incredibly unreliable (Also a fascist), in fact, when he went to the Gulag he got treatment for his cancer, but of course that goes unmentioned. Using the word 'Gulag' is a clever trick. Gulags were simply prison labor camps, at the time very common around the world, that yes, had horrible conditions at times, that yes, led to neglect and direct deaths, and yes, imprisoned many ideological enemies and innocent people. But with the amount of shit the Russians had gone through, this kind of thing is par for the course, they struggled enough with keeping the supporters afloat and the country running, so really not that surprising. ALSO, the Gulag population per capita at its height was lower than the prison population in the US *today* , just to put the scale in perspective.

My Russian history teacher told my class a story about a certain book publisher in the days of Stalin. He had a state contract to publish "official" (approved) propaganda that portrayed Stalin as the benevolent genius whose ideologically correct economic policies were solely responsible for all the happiness of all the happy little workers & peasants in the Soviet workers' paradise. Turned out this publisher was a sneaky little insurrectionist who was surreptitiously inserting anti-Stalin sentiments into his publications, between the lines, as it were, yet easily discernible to readers who could ferret out the hidden intentions. Apparently, he'd escaped official detection for a time, at least until the officials were tipped off. It seems one book contained an especially fine photograph of Stalin on one page; the previous page showed a smiling peasant chopping wood. If you held the page up to the light, the grinning peasant appeared to be bringing his axe down upon Stalin's head. Needless to say, this impertinent, ungrateful publisher not only had his state contract cancelled, he was hauled out & shot.

The facilities are not designed for long term imprisonment. There were even some inmates that had been there for years because the courts couldn’t decide on what charges to prosecute. Inmates that were finally sentenced would be so excited to go to prison! They literally had parties for receiving 10 year sentences, it was such abject misery in MCSO custody, that going to prison was like going to heaven.

Last time I was in Las Vegas in the Clark County processing center '92 , I was there for four days locked in a room/cell with about a hundred other people and one toilet and no toilet paper and no fresh air or drinking water (if you were thristy and you wanted water you flushed the toilet then cupped your hands in and drank) , it was so crowded in the small cell with all those people that you couldn't sleep laying down everyone had to sleep sitting straight up on the cold concrete floor with your arms wrapped around your knees. Everyone was horribly sick as even a few days in and you had the flu/cold or what ever nasty virus was going around , everyone so close and no blankets for warmth , what clothes you had on when you were arrested were the clothes you had. I had no money for bail so I was going to be there for weeks but I got an overcrowding early release but I was released in Las Vegas with no way back home to Laughlin as I had been arrested in Laughlin , all people arrested in Clark county were sent there on a bus for processing but were not bussed back to thier home city so you had to find your own way back without food ,water or money wiether it was the middle of a burning hot summer or a cold winter and like most who got out I was sick as a dog. Getting arrested for public intoxication and sobering up in a setting like that is brutal as everyone in the cell was there for different reason some for shoplifting and others for murder/rape there was no distiction so someone who got arrested for failure to appear for a ticket was there beside a person who just got arrested for a voilent offence Until you have experienced the American jail system even for a few weeks it is hard to explain how broke and over crowded it is.

A variety of historians have a variety of estimates for how many died in the Gulags. Many of those estimates are far higher than the ones cited in this video. For instance, Anne Applebaum says 20 million died in the Gulag and another 5 million died due to forced internal exile. The late R.J. Rummel cited much larger numbers. The Marxists, of course, claim only a few thousand people died in the Gulag and those only due to "excess zeal" on the part of local administrators.

Germany, France, and Japan love their Industry Unions; to the point that they have expelled American corporations that sought to circumvent them (Walmart and Michlinn for instance.) As for Communism, this video starts on 1923; the Soviets had been disbanded, and sent to the Gulags with everyone else. What is it you think you are describing as Socialism?

Decimation is a term that means to kill one of every 10. If the powers that be on this channel choose to read the posts of their viewers, they will find they have been using the English language incorrectly. The terms you want to use are either annihilation or extermination, never decimation. To lose 1/10 of a force is an acceptable loss annihilation and extermination are total losses.

"Was the sense meaning “to select by lot and kill every tenth man of” the original use of decimate in English? Yes, it was, but not by much. Our earliest record of this meaning is from the end of the 16th century; by the beginning of the 17th century the word had already taken on an additional meaning (“to tithe”). Furthermore, the word decimation, meaning “a tithing,” had been in use for about 60 years before decimate began to be used in any fashion. Perhaps you are one of those true stalwarts who will refuse to be swayed by any argument in this regard, and have resolved not only to continue to use decimate in this way but also to tell those who do not that they are wrong. In that case you deserve applause and support. Come to think of it, you deserve more than that-you deserve an ovation. Except that the original meaning of ovation in English was “a ceremony attending the entering of Rome by a general who had won a victory of less importance than that for which a triumph was granted,” so I guess we can’t use that word."

"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". -The Gulag Archipelago

@@totentanz5445 The US was definitely wrong for getting involved in Vietnam and again in Iraq 2003. The others in my opinion were more or less justified (Korea, Gulf War, Afghanistan). The other question to ask is if Amerika wasn't out there playing world police would it be someone else who doesn't even pretend to avoid civilian casualties (Russia). If nobody did it then would all the smaller wars that would've happened without a policeman around have killed even more people? I think an argument could be made that yes, the hundreds of smaller conflicts could have easily added up to more deaths over the same amount of time. Just look at the Rwandan genocide in the 1990's. The US and UN stayed out for the first 3 or 4 years and the number of people killed in that relatively small area of Africa, was simply astounding. Now multiple that by dozens of hundreds of similar conflicts around the world that would have happened without a global policeman.

So when did they have a 1 v 1 gun fight then parachute back into the fight ?
