  13.  @Nelson-gs9yv  I would emphasis that this has more to do with the German Army not being as "Mythologically" godly as people claim while the Red Army became competent. For example, most of those 'glorious' stats/figures people often throw around came from 1941/42 in which most of the offensive fighting was done by the very best German units, (you know those 10-14 to 1 figures) they also would suffer the brunt of casualties, and loses in return. These were also irreplaceable loses, as it takes years to train crack divisions. That being said, the quality of German infantry divisions, and reserve divisions wouldn't be up for the challenge to fill those loses. Most of which were conscripted in a hurry prior to the start of the war, to fill in the ranks needed for these "Grand" Campaigns. The causalties between the two leveled out considerably year after year, but always remained in favor of the German Army, save for as you pointed out some local victories for the Red Army, but the same goes for the Germans. But even in the later war period, the Red Army still suffered double the casualties between 44/45 cross the entire theatre, when compared to other theatres fought by other parties, that isn't something to gloat, or praise. Definitely when you take the quality of the vast majority of German divisions the Red Army were facing at this time. The Allies had a hard time for example, but that was because most of the divisions they faced in the west were well equipped (for 1944 standards) and experienced, hoping to stop the Allies cold with some of the better divisions available at the time. Despite this, the Allies still came out on top with loses in casualties, when the Red Army didn't in the same time period, while not holding the same major numerical advantages either. Again, I'm not roasting the Red Army intentionally. From what I've read, it's been just as over glorified as the Wehrmacht. If an equal strengthed crack Red Army division faced a German one in the field in 1944, I'd still place my money on the German one. I'd place my money on an American one above either. That being said, to me I consider the British though to be the most over glorified and hyped Army from WWII, despite performing poorly in nearly every campaign, even the ones they won.

  25.  @oscartang4587u3  To be frank most socialist need to go back and redefine what Socialism is because the definition often used can easily be applied to almost any regime with enough power to control the economy. Which ironically makes them look like idiots when they deny the Nazis are socialist. Which is ironically why I like TIK's definition of Socialism, which is Social Ownership. Social Ownership doesn't exactly exclude private ownership if the private owners are part of the social group that controls the economy. If you've noticed almost all Socialism is about "A" Social "Group" Rising up and taking Control of the Means of Production from the "Other." For example, Marxism and all variants based off it, it's about the "Working Class" Rising Up and taking Control of the Economy and State from the "Land Owners" if you use plain English instead of their rubbish religious rhetoric. But, if you refuse the accept the concept of the Working Class, or Classes in General, you pull the rug right out of Communism and most Variations of Socialism along with it. As without it, it can not function at all. Which is why Marxism has utterly failed in the USA, with the Adoption of Neo Liberalism or more accurately Classic Liberalism since the 1980s. Where people were raised to view people as individuals vs rather than "Groups" as a result almost all collectivized movements lost power, including trade unions as everyone by the late 90s wanted to take charge of their own lives, and it's hard to do that when you're part of a union of sorts. This is interestingly why the Left as switched to Racial and Gender Politics, they need "New Groups" to fight for Social Control, if they want their Social Revolution. They've lost the war for the Working Class, as those often deemed as the Working Class are in support of their opposition anymore. It's fun seeing how horrific of failures Marxist and Socialist in General have been in the USA. Feminism it's about giving women more power in the economy, business and short, but doesn't exactly mean total social control, or collective ownership. Feminist use a lot of Marxist rhetoric reworded around gender boundaries. But it's basically Gender Marxism. But all that matters to the radical elements of feminism is Women Dominate Society, that's their goal. Not exactly equality. Modern CRT, when I literally hear them say "Race Consciousness" it's hard to not refer back to Marxist who say Class Conscious. So you know those who support it are reading off the same hymn sheet yet again. Again it's just Socialism rebranded with a "New" Social Group, this time a Racial. Ironically not that dissimilar to Nazism in that respect. It's sad when you see Liberalism actually being the enemy of these groups as well. Liberalism is about Individualism and Individual Liberties. This is why the Left has since coined the term Neo Liberalism, because it's hard to argue against Right Wing Liberals, who are actual Liberals when they call themselves Liberals. Because the things they support are Liberalism in it's purist forms. So of course they created Neo Liberalism as a means of demonizing Liberals who are opposed to their "Revolution." Going so far to calling them Far Right, which I find funny, being Far Right means anything they want it to mean anymore, either Anarchy or Totalitarianism? Which is it? lol

  46.  @jackdeath  you didn't mention any economics. Yet are asking me about economics. That being said. Former Soviet Citizen > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA8n5xYIQx0 BTW this guy has released many videos contradicting Communist version of Wehraboos arguments about how great the USSR was. This one is directly towards people arguing the quality of life/food was far better in the USSR when in the 1970/80s compared to the USA it wasn't even comparable, for example he states just about the only meat you would get was canned or processed which is why even today he prefers processed meat because that is what he grew up with when he was in the USSR. Where as in the USA Americans could afford steak, in the USSR the option to buy Steak didn't even exist, if any meat was even available even canned which a lot of the times it wasn't unless you lived in a major city. Soviet Resource Mismanagement discussed quite easily. USSR was insanely wasteful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3Jkqqlpibo < Why the USSR went bankrupt by the 1980s, it spent most of it's capital reserves even before the end of the 70s. Meaning the USSR ran out of means of trading with foreign nations as it's currency was worthless abroad. This is why they started bartering for foreign trade, it's ironically why PEPSI ended up with two Soviet Submarines, USSR was that desperate for more PEPSI to keep the illusion their nation had it all. TIK's own video on the Soviet Economy, which he argues that it's very plausible that the USSR may of never achieved a quality of life based on population growth/averages even equal to that of the Pre-WWI Russian Empire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPVo9w79D6w Seeing the Usbanka Show's videos honestly TIK may not be wrong. TIK described the USSR as literally a 50 year humanitarian disaster.

  48. cracks knuckles The first Fascist/signers of the original Fascist Manifesto of 1914 the "Fascio Rivoluzionario d'Azione Internazionalista" Pardon by bad translation the Fascist International Revolutionary Action. Was signed by Marxist Syndicalist, Anarcho-Syndicalist and National Syndicalist of which most were members of the Italian Socialist Party. Mussolini was kicked out of the Italian Socialist party for supporting this Manifesto of course he didn't co-create it. The manifesto mostly advocated for Italy to get involved in the Great War hoping that it would accelerate the Revolution by weakening the existing Nation States. Basically it was signed by socialist who switched from an Anti War Stance to a Pro War stance. This Manifesto inspired the later "Fascio d'Azione Rivoluzionaria" of 1919, which was the founding Manifesto for what would later become Italian Fascist Party. SO NO, you're completely wrong. Fascism has EVERYTHING to do with Socialism. It was FOUNDED BY SOCIALIST. They didn't magically stop being Socialist because they called themselves Fascist. Even the word Fascism literally means Unionist in a a broad sense, and they placed the good of the community above individual needs... which is totally NOT CAPITALIST. And you know there is a contradiction in this narrative because between 1919, and 1921 the Fascist magically go from being considered Far Leftist historically to Far Right by mainstream historians. What is comical is how often I see them saying Fascism is deeply rooted in Revolutionary Syndicalism, and just because someone throws National onto a name like say National Syndicalism automatically makes it "Far Right." When nationalism, heck even the word conservatism has little to do with the left or right of the political spectrum. Of course many will try to convince people otherwise. People on the left hold some of the tightest conservative views I've ever seen unyielding, and spit on the concept of Liberalism almost daily. Yet... they're on the left. There is a reason TIK used the word Commiservative and omg did that made me laugh as I wish I thought of it.
